A few days ago the engineer OF the
steamboat train on the Ola Colony rail-
road saw, as ne was rushing through
Providence at fast express speed, shift
ing engine Btsnding on the same track.
He saw that the collision could not be
Averted, but he perceived that he could
save bis passengers by unooupling the
engine from the train and, alone with his

he did. The passengers escaped unhurt,

THE ENJOYS AT GOTHAM.
They, However, Have Very Little
to Say.

New YORK. Dec. 7.-Messrs. O'Brien,
Sullivan. Dillon. 0'Connor and Gill, the
Irish ENJOYS to America, have arrived
in this city from Chicago. Mr.. Harring-
ton, the sixth member of the party.
who has decided to cast in his lot with
Mr.. Parnell, did not accompany them.
T. P. O'Connor went to the BarthoIdi
hotel, where he has friends, while the
others put up at the Hoffman house.
They took the finest suite of rooms
be interviewed, but all signed the
following statement for the press:
ave regret to be obliged to
continue and maintain absolute silence
in the circumstances of the present mo-
ment. We have cabied our approval to
the choice of Justin Mccarthy as chair
man of the Irish National party, and
our earnest hope is that our colleagues
and our people may see the way to ac-
quiesce in that choice, and thus restore
the priceless blessing of unity in our
party. Whatever additional communi-
cation we may find ourselves at liberty
to make to the public will be made col
leetlvely, and will not be made so long
as we can see any possibility of saving
our country from a rujnOus conflict.
We would prefer that our views
should suffer by our hold
ing our tongues rather than that
the possibility of unity should be preju-
diced by a single injudicious word at
this painful movement" 70 friend
Mr.. O'Brien expressed himself as being
sorry for the break that had occurred in
the party of six that arrived so united
here such short time ago. Asked how
long he ana his friends would remain,
he replied: Really, we cannot say.
Our action must be governed by circum-
stances We have absolutely no plans
perfected for cur future movements
here" There were a number OF their
friends at the hotel to greet them on
their arrival.

THEY ARE GOOD INDIANS.
A Libel on the Sissetons Quickly
Refuted.
Special to the Globe.


WILMoT, s. D., Dec. 7.-Fhe North
western Presbyterian of this date con-
tains some correspondence from Good
Will. in which the correspondent states
that the Indian craze relative to the
ghost dances, ETC., has reached this, the
Sisseton agency, and says 'our pagan
and non progressive Indians on this
reservation are turbulent and restive.
and may require that the United States
government send troops TO quell the
refractory and lawless, as is being done
at the Missouri river agencies" The
statement is libel and slander
upon our industrious, law-abidIng and
progressive Indians. the majority OF
whom are devout members of either the
Presbyterian or Episcopal churches.and
who deDlore the ignorant superstition
of their brethren on the Missouri.
There is absolutely no danger whatever
of the craze spreading among our Indi-
ans, and any stranger passing through
the reservation at any time would be
safer almost than at any other place in
the United States. A small number OF
the Indians have their annual dances.
and this same small band have lately
had dance at their usual place: but
nothing unusual has transpired, and
the idea of this having any connec-
ton with the new ghost dance has
solely originated in the brain of the
Good VIII correspondent OF the North
western Presbyterian.
