IMPORTANT RAILROAD RUMOR.

A gentleman from L ifayette stated here last week that subscription books had been opened in Lafayette for an air-line road from that city to Chicago. He said that several wealthy citizens had subscribed SIO,OOO each, and that the Indianapolis and Lafayette, and the Cincinnati and Indianapolis roads, had subscribed SIOO,OOO each, with the understandim' that the work shall not be commenced until sufficient stock is taken to insure its completion. This is important, if true.
