MAY REBUILD THE 1400'S
Three Engines of That Series Have
Blown up on the c., r. !. & p.

An interesting fact has developed
since the fatal explosion of one of the
large Rock Island engines occurred
near Davenport last Sunday night and
it may develop into the abandonment
or rebuilding of all of the 400 class
of engines. This is the third engine
of the 400 class which the Rock Is
and road is using that has blown up
through some mysterious reason which
has not been discovered or explained
One old-time railroad man stated to-
day that he thought it only proved
that some part of the mechanism was
not perfect and that the engines
should be done away with. One thing
is certain. the road will investigate
the matter and will probably order the
rebuilding of all engines of the 400
class.

Retirement of Jefferson.

Although Joseph Jefferson retired
from active stage work only this fall,
the careful compiler of theatrical data
on a Boston paper calls attention TO the
fact that. so far as a large proportion
of the American public is concerned,
the veteran actor has been retired for
many years. He made his last Chicago
appearance in 1898, to be sure. and
Boston Saw him in 1892. but Broadway
has not seen him in five years, it is ten
years since he has been west of the
Mississippi, and his acting is practical
dition. to the theatregoers of the coast.
Though he has played his Caleb Plum
mer in Cricket on the Hearth. his Mr.
Golightly in Lend Me Five ShillingS
and his Bob Acres in THE Rivals" in
Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago and New
York within the past few years, it is
some time longer since Joe Jefferson
retired from the stage of the cities of
middle size. These cities, which &C.
casionally enjoyed the performance of
Mansfield, Irving. Bernhard, Booth and
Salvini, have not seen Jefferson be-
cause he has played only II weeks a
year, and these have been arranged to
carry him from Buzzard Bay to Palm
Beach in the fall and back again in the
spring. Tim Murphy. a popular com.
edian. intends to take up the Jefferson
