The Chieigo Tnhanc is responsible
for the story of which we are about to
present an outline. A few da} r s before
Congress adjourned the Interior De
partment, which comprises the Indian
Bureau, asked an appropriation of
$300,000 to defray the cost of support
ing 3.000 Indians at Fort Leavenworth,
notwithstanding the fact that the ap
propriations already before the House
were based on the necessity of main
taining all the Indians at the agencies.
On the 1st of March, Isaac G. Parker,
member of Congress from Missouri,
added this $.300,000 to the Indian ap
propriation bill iu the committee room,
and then moved to pass the bill with
out reading. Objections being made,
io stated to the House that all the
amendments did not add $10,000 to the
bill. As the Tribune cautiously ob
serves, "this seems to have been a dc
iberate lie." Parker, however, was
exposed by his fellow-committeemen,
and thereupon withdrew his motion.
Notwithstanding this exposure, the
I
I
$300,000 was voted, and there seems
no reasons whatever to doubt that it
has already been arranged for by cer
tain members of the Indian Ring, for
we are told that "nine days after the
appropriation was made the 3,000 pris
oners were transferred to their agen
cies, and the Indian Bureau at once
«advertised for beef for them, to be fur
nished at the agencies five days after
the award. This stipulation about
time cuts off honest bidders. Some
contractor in the ring will get the job
at his own rates, and there will doubt
less be a divide for the people's mon
ey." Mr. Parker has been made Uni
ted States Judge for the Western Dis
trict of Arkansas, since Congress ad
journed.
Bravery of a Brak eman—April 27 r
1875.—Geo. B. Granger, a brakeman
on the Boston and Lowell Railroad
has earned a fame to-day which will
ive for generations. He was on du
ly on the inward Montreal express
and when between Wilmington and
Woburn the coupling gave way be
tween two of the ears on the forward
part of the train and the engine and
two or three of the cars which were
held to it being thus relieved of the
weight of the half dozen cars behind
immediately ran away from them.
When the detachment took place the
train was running at the rate of thir
ty five miles j>er hour. At this mo
ment Granger w«is sitting at the win
dow of the last car in the first part of
the train, and seeing the bell rope
quickly draw, observed the break in a
second, and immediately jumped to ac
tion. He knew that if the bellrope
j sounded the engineer's bell, the engi
neer would stop the train, and the
rear wtmld crash against the front,
! so he rapidly pulled the rope tc
! ward him from the rear and speedily
detached it. He then ran through the
train, clambered over the engine's
tender in order to cause the engineer
to accelerate his speed, so as to keep
out.of the way of the rear part. Re
alizing. moreover, that the first im
pulse of tho engineer, who stood with
his hand on the lever would be to stop
the train, he steped up to him with
forced calmness, put one hand on his
shoulder and the other on the hand
that held the lever, and said, "Don't
stop." Having put the engineer on
guard he pointed out the danger. Pas
sengers who were anxiously watching,
say the engineer, when the danger be
came apparent to him, turned pale but
remained cool, and at once put on all
possible speed to keep out of the way
of the detached part of the train,
which was thundering along behind.
This done, the engineer blew his sig
nal to put on the brakes, hoping the
brakeman or some one else on the rccr
«»f the troin would hear and act upon
the signal, but no one did, and the
race was thus kept up for a couple of
miles, with imminent risk of a col
lision, and no one in the rear part of
the train conscious of danger. Fortu
nately the up-train for Lawrence came
along at this critical juncture, and the
engineer taking in the situation sound
el his whistle, and by this means
aroused the brakeman on the detached
p irtion of the train, who soon averted
further danger by applying his brakes.
But for the coolness ayd prompt ac
tion of Granger a terrible accident
was inevitable.— N. Y. Herald.
"Is Miss Blinking at home?" asked
Mr. Sanders of the Irish girl who an
swered the ring at the door. "Yes, I
b'lave she is, sir." "Is she engaged?"
"An' is it engaged you say? Faith, an'
I can't tell ye, sir; but she kissed Mr>
Vincent last evening as if she had not
seen the like uv him, an* it's engaged
I b'lave they are, sir." ,
