First Of the Rock Island's Monster En ginss
Arrives la the City.

First of the Rock Island's Monster En- ginss
Arrives la the City.
What is conceded to be the largest
eight-wbeel locomotive in the
United States was harbored at the
Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific
railway company's round house in
this city last night.
1t is the monster Wilson engine
which has Just been constructed in
the company's shops at Chicago.
Yesterday the maiden trip was made
ahead of a freight train and the Off
Gals who accompanied the big iron
horse feel enthusiastic over the trial
and are in every way confident that
it will do all and probably more than
is expected of it. The locomotive
left Chicago yesterday morning in
charge of Engineer Al. Lund, with
Fireman A. Giddley. They were &C
companied by Master Mechanic j.. w.
Fitzgibbons, of the Illinois division,
who was joined at Bureau by Gen
eral Foreman W. H. Stocks, of this
city. The trip was made compare
lively slow so an opportunity to
study the engine would be afforded.
When shortly after dusk yesterday
the monster came putting in along
the Fifth avenue depot moguls
which have heretofore been consid-
ed-and good sized locomo-
tives were lost sight Of. While the
11O1-that is the engines mum Der
is not SO much higher than the
mogul. its parts are more massive,
and the general appearance of it is
that of a monster. The 110l has
drivers 6! feet in diameter-about
one foot larger than the mogul; and
at this rate both engines compare in
almost every detail. The new en-
CINE, regardless of its tender, tips
the scales at $4,000 pounds, the
tender loaded weighing 6S 500
pounds. The boiler, which in itself
weighs 16 tons, has a capacity of
1870 gallons and the tender carries
SO tons of coal.
1t is estimated that the engine will
cover So miles an hour without a
struggle. 1t will be put on passen-
ger runs Nos. l l and between here
and Chicago as soon as possible, and
some records unprecedented in this
part of the country are antisi pated.
The Rock Island will begin the erec.
ton of three more of these engines
Immediately and the building OF
others will follow. 1t is the inten.
ton to put them on all the fast pas.
senger runs out of Chicago. Rail.
road men say that this engine will
make the run down from Chicago
ahead OF a heavy passenger train in
ISL minutes.

The Time for Building

Up the system is at this season. The
cold weather has made unusual
drains upon the vital forces. The
blood has become impoverished and
impure. and all the functions of the
body suffer in consequence. Hoods
Sarsaparilla is the great builder, be-
cause it is the one true blood puri-
fer and nerve tonic.

Mr.. Barry Hopper Denies His wife's
Divorce Charges,

NJ. Barry Hopper yesterday filed an an
swer to the charges of Addie E. Hopper,
who few days ago filed an application
for divorce. Mrs. Hopper charged her
husband with infidelity, but he denies the
offense aud asks that his wife furnish the
court with proof to support her assertion
He claims that such allegations introduced
into bill are Injurious to his character
The husband says his wife lived with him
until November 6, 1896, when she went
to reside with her mother at COL Stanton
place. This was, he rccites, because of
no fault of his. In fact, he was i'll In bed
at the time.
Mr.. Hopper denies that he has threatened
his wife or been cruel to her. .'She must
have imagined it," says the defendant.
The only act or incident which might be
construed into cruelt the defendant admits
took place Thanksgiving Day, 1898, when
being invited to dine with his wife at her
mothers home, the complainant became
piqued at his being late She smacked
him upon the cheek, and in a pla yful
manner he returned the slap.
Mr.. Hopper characterizes this occurrence
as simply lovers quarrel. Col. E. B.

A feminine Prophet.

A young woman in Paris, who says
she is inspired by the angel Gabriel, IS
predicting the future, and thousands OF
credulous people are consulting her.
Her favori;e topic is war, and she de-
clares that France has erred and is to
be chastised. England, too, is to have
her pride lowered She predicts that
war will break out before the end OF
the year, but it will be preceded by an
other revolution which will convulse
France. The ecclesiastical authorities
are said to be much exercised by the
young woman's doings. and 1t is BE-
