Spat Between Patti anu ScaIchi.
New YORK, March IL. - Nine.

New YORK, March IL. - Nine.
Scalchi was not we'll and could not be
seen, but Sig Lolli, her husband, as
sured reporter that no quarrel had
ever occurred between his wife and
Patti; that Mne. Scalchi had the
most un bounded admiration for Patti,
and the last time they sang together
they parted the best of friends, and
that Nine. Scalchi was as greatly
surprised as any one when Messrs.
Abbey and Grau offered to pay her
for the supplementary season with
out availing Themselves of her ser
vices, for which contract was
signed. "My wife," said Sig. Lolli,
refused to take her salary without
singing. She feels very badly that
any misunderstanding should exist.
For the sake of Nessrs. Abbey and
Grau, with whom she is on the best of
terms, and out of consideration
for her womanly dignity, she
absolutely refuses to tell the reason
for her contract being broken. If
my wife felt that she had in any way
done anything TO offend Patti che
would he the first to apologize. The
little affair which Is the alleged rea'
son given by Patti for not wishing
my wife to sing with her, occurred
in Mexico, and since then they have
sung and parted good friends, and
my wife was utterly ignorant OF the
fact that Patti entertained any ill
telling toward her till / was told it
by the management last week. 1t
seems the last time they sang III
Mexico they were call before the cur
tain several times, and that Nine.
Patti saws that in handing a bouquet
to her Nine. Scalchi scratched her
arm. That is all there is about it,"

wArsoN,s DRUNK INQUIRY.


The Charges Against Representative
Cobb Not Founded on Fact.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-The special
committee appointed to investigate the
charges of drunkenness against mem
bers of the house resumed its session
this morning and many witnesses testi-
fed that it was their opinion that Repre-
sentative Cobb of Alabama was not
drunk when he delivered his argument
in the Noyes- Rockwell election contest,
the witnesses generally testiiying that
Cobb was suffering from exhaustion, in
cident to the delivery, when in poor
health, of long speech marked by
many Interruptions and much badger
ing.
Bynum testified that it was not an
uncommon practice for members to
take bouillon, coffee, beef tea and other
stimulants out of cup during long
continued arguments, and from his
knowledge of Cobb's physical condition,
he was satisfied that the gentleman
could not speak continuously for two
hours without taking some stimulant.
Andrew Devine, one of the official
stenographers of the house, produced
the manuscripttof the official report of
Cobb's argument, and testified that he
saw nothing in Cobb's conduct to Justify
the charges made.
1t is likely that Simpson of Kansas
will file minority report in behalf of
his fellow Alliance member Watson of
Georgia), it being practically assured
that the majority will at least make
some structures on Watson.

Richard Tenbroeck, the Veteran Turf
man, Gone Hence.
SAN MATEo, CAL, Aug. 1.--Richard
Tenbroeck, the we'll known horseman,
was found dead in bed at his home, the
Hermitage, near here, at IL O'Clock this
morning. Hewas alone at the time, and
had been for some time, as he expert
enced great difficulty in keeping help on
account of his extremely nervous and
erratic temperament. Yesterday he had
arranged with party to come to his
house and take an inventory of
his household effects for the purpose, it
is thought, of converting them into
coin, as he has been for some time hard
pressed. When the party went to his
house today. the front door was partly
open, and on the step was Tenbroeck's
coat. He entered and proceeded to the
bed chamber, where the old horseman
was found cold in death. Everything
about the room was in the usual order,
and the arms of the deceased were
folded upon his breast. He was over 80
years of age, and had been confirmed
invalid for years from gout.

SENATE PROCEEDINGS.
Appropriations Extended-Tarif Ts
Pinkartan Defactixea

Appropriations Extended-Tariff Talk.
Pinkerton Detectives.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-The senate to-
day passed the joint resolution extend
ing last years appropriations until next
Thursday, without division.
Speeches on the tariff were delivered
by Hawley and Hiscock, advocating pro-
lection; also a statement by Vest re-
specting the profits of the Arlington
wooden mills. Vest had, in a former
speech, asserted that the company in
1891 paid dividend of 80 per cent, and
that there had been troubles and strikes
among it's workmen. Both these asser-
tions were characterized as absolutely
false, in letter to Allison, from Secre-
tary Whitman, OF the Arlington COM
pany. Vest undertook to prove from
Whitman's own report to the directors
that his (Vest's) original assertion was
practically true.
The resolution for the appointment of
a committee to inquire as to the en-
ployment of Pinkerton detectives, was
reported back and went over without
action. Adjourned.

OFFICER Sites CAPTURE.

He Clutches a Runaway Prisoner and
sprains His Ankle.
Dick Hughes, at least so he was regis
tered at the receiving end of the police
department, has been stirring up more
than his quota of sensation in the past
two days.
Sunday afternoon Officer Baker. .appre-
hended him on Main street in the
paroxysms of an exaggerated fit of
mania a potu, and booked him at the
central station for medical treatment.
Yesterday afternoon he appeared be-
fore DIR. Austin, of the police court
faculty, who duly prescribed for him
and remanded him, in custody of Bailiff
Appel, to have the prescription filed
"down stairs" The bailiff took him
out through Justice Austin's room and
started him down the steps through the
jury room. Thinking he was all right
after descending few steps, the officer
turned and started back to the court
room. His back was no sooner turned
than the prisoner made dash for lib.
erty, jumping out of the window of the
jury room to the roof of the jail.
When the alarm was sounded, Driver
Sites of the police patrol ran up the
side stairs, out onto the roof. and
grabbed the man by the coat collar lust
as he was in the act of dropping to the
ground. The officer held fast to the
prisoner until assistance came, and the
man was escorted back to prison.
In the hasty action required to appre-
hend the man, Officer Sites turned his
ankle, causing rather painful sprain.
