A very saughnele Incident occurred enc
evening recently. on the Up tram to Sac
ramento. There were two seats in the
car turned so as to face each other. Une
was occupied by o lady, and the other by
n Cinnamon. Evidently the lady did not
relish The presence Of the Chinaman, aud
set her wits to wotk to Gust him. She
succeeded about as follows:
Motioning the Chinamau to rise, she
explained to him tha. she wanted to take
the cushions and their frames. and place
them lcng,hwise across from scat 10 seas
John said all rightcc.' anI got on. in the
nislc willie she placed The ssats rs above
described. and then pr'ccedcd to liza down
on the bed TINS improvised, with her head
resting on her valise.
She supposed that the Chinaman would
at once take the hint that the lady wanted
to take little rest. in the space usually
occupied BY four persons. Ba, JOHN rad
not heard of the woman's right movemere.
and nc once proceeded To crawl in and
stretch himself by her side. with his head
on a bundle OF his own. The Chinese ars

ter the execution Of the Oskcs Ames' COO.
tract hereinafter mentioned.
On the 18th day Of August. 1867. q
contract was executed between the Union
Pacific Railroad aud Cakes Ames. by
which Mr.. Ames contracted to tuild GOT
miles Of the Union Pacific Road st prices
ranging from $4,000 to Ss6. 600 per
mile. amounting in the aggregate to Ei1. :
600. 0.oO0. Before the eshtfsct vas enter
ed into. Il was understood that Mr.. Ames
was 10 transfer it to seven trustees ulso
we're to execute Il. and the profits of the
contract we're to be divided among the
stockholders in the Credit Mob;lier Com.
pany. who. should comply with certain
cnnditi4.s set out IN the instrument tran.-
fersihg the contract 10 the trastres. The
Ames contract and the transfer to trus-
tees are Incorporated in the evidence suS-
mi,ted. aud. therefore, further recital Of
their terms is not deemed necessary. Sub.
sequenily. all the stockholders of,he Cred
it Mobilier Company complied with the
conditions named in the transfer. and thus
became entitled to share in any profits said
trustees might make in executing the con-
tract. All the large stockholders in the
Union Pacific were also stockholders in
the Credit Mobilicr. and the Anies con.
tract and its transfer TO trustees were rat.
iied by the Union Pacific and received
the assent Of the grea. body Of stockhold.
ers. but not of all. After the Ames con-
tract had been executed. it was expected
BY those interested that. by reason Of the
enormous prices agreed to be paid for the
work. very large profits would be derived
from building the road. and very soon the
stock Of the Credit Mobilier was urd r.
stood to be worth much more than its par
value. The stock was not III the m marke,.
and had no 6xed market value. bu. the
holders OF it. in December. 1867, consid-
cred 1t worth at least double the par value.
and in January or February. 1868. three
or four times the par value but it docs
not appear that these facts were generally
or publicly known. or that the holders OF
the stock desired they should be.

HIsroHY OF THE CREDIT MoslLER. The
Company called the Credit Mobilier of
America. was incorporated by the Legis-
lature Of Pennsylvania. and in 1864 tho
control Of its charter and franchises had
been obtained hy certain persons. interes-
TED 10 the Union Pacific Railroad Compa-
ny. for the purpose of using it as con-
struction company to build the Union Pa
cifc Road In September, 1864, a con-
Pacific Company and II. W. H"xie for
the building by said Hoxie Of 100 miles
Of said road from Omaha west. This con-
trae. was at once assigned by Hoxie to the
Credit Mohilier Company. as it ives ex-
pected to be when made. Under this
contract and extensions Of some 200 or
800 miles Of road were bull, by the Cred
it Mobilier Company. but no considerable
profit appears to have been realized there
from. The enterprise Of building 4 rail-
road to the Pacific was of such vast msc-
ni,ude. and was bcset BY 50 many hazards
and risks, that the capitalists o! the coun-
try were generally aversc to investing in
it. and notwithstanding the liberal aid
granted BY the Government. it seemed
likely 10 fail Of completion. In 1865 or
1866. Mr.. Oakcs Amcs. member OF the
House from the State of Massachusetts,,
and his brother. Oliver Ames. became in
.crestcd in the Union Pacific Company.
and also in the Credi, MobiIier Company,
