Devens abandons Supreme Court bid in favor of life post
In Washington on January 21, Attorney General Devens abandons plans for a Supreme Court seat once held by Justice Clifford who is now an imbecile and cannot retire. Justice Hunt delays retirement until after March, opening paths for Devens. He seeks a lifetime position similar to Postmaster General Key and other cabinet officers, possibly via the Judge Advocate General Dunn’s army retirement to become brigadier general while keeping a judicial post.

Fire at Her Majesty's Theatre Quelled by Philadelphia Fireman
A blaze swept Her Majesty's theatre in London last night but was halted by Mr Marshall, an old Philadelphia fireman employed by Mr Haverly. Entering the wardrobe room, he faced smoke and flames, secured the hydrant, and directed water onto the burning ceiling, stopping the fire before engines arrived. Seven engines later stood by as the blaze was contained within about fifteen minutes of Marshall's action, though wardrobe storage suffered damage and pipes narrowly avoided freezing.
