A Cheering Instance of Railroad rnteg-
rity.
In the present low state Of morality, both
public and private, an instance of corporate
integrity, involv living inconvenience and ex-
pense, was experienced by our fellow towns
man, ID. T. Pike, Esq, and family, on their
recent return from California. Suffering
from rheumatism, he purchased through tick :
cts from the San Francisco passenger agent
of the Burlington Route" on the condition
Of prior arrangements for Pullman drawing
room cars being made through to Boston.
On arriving at Council Bluffs, the commence
ment of the Burlington branch, it was found
that through same mistake, there was no
draw ing room car attached to the train. Up
on a representation of the facts of the case
and the necessity of a drawing room car, the
passenger agent at Council Bluffs and the
conductor OF the drawing room car at that
station (Mr. Bowers promptly attached the
car to the train, TO be run at all events as far
as Galesburg, H., where they could commu-
nicate with the Division Superintendent, who
sustained their action and ordered the car to
be continued on to Chicago
The company are fortunate in having Off
GERS and employees of sufficient character to
take responsibility when necessary in the in
terests of the corporation. 1t is doubtful if
there is another railroad corporation in the
country who would have rectfied mistake
SO promptly, so cordially, and in SO munifi-
cent manner; for it involved the running of
Pullman drawing room car from Council
Bluffs TO Chicago, for the sole accommoda-
ton of the party affected by the mistake.
company so honorable deserves and should
receive the lions share of the patronage OF
the travelling public.
Mr. Pike desires, through us, to thank j.
g. Mccall, Passenger Agent at San Francis
co, for the thoroughness Of hi. arrangements
for drawing room cars through to Boston
the officials, conductor and porter from
Council Bluffs TO Chicago; and last not
least, Mr.. Towle, the veteran and gentleman
y conductor on the Eastern & Maine Gem
trail road, and those of his fellow citizens
who were present on the arrival of the train
at Augusta, for their kind assistance in trans
porting him bodily" from the cars to his res
dence on Green street.
