THE ACCOMMODATION.
'1here il a road up in Pennsylvania that
runs from York to Peachbottom that the coun-
| try people living in the country through which
| it passes called the Accommodation. 1t was,
when originally built, q narrow-gauge road and
| as business had to be developed the train serv-
| ice was much on the order of the go-as-you-
please. There we're two trains and each made
| one round trip . day, the road being about
/ slxty miles long. The officers gave orders to
| the trainmen to make friends with the people,
so as to make them go out OF their way to
| patronize the new road. The trainmen took
| advantage Of this order at every opportunity.
There were no telegraph or telephone sta
| tons on the road, and when q train left the
| terminal stations the conductor was master Of
the situation until he got back again or arrived
perintendent Of the road had the hardihood to
ride over the road one day and that he hired q
morse ana buggy ana RODE oack to York. as
he was in a hurry.
