From Her Husband in Italy.

From Her Husband in Italy.
NEW YORK, Oct. 26.-Mme. Sofia Scalchi
and her husband, Count Lolli, have separated
and have been legally divorced in Italy. The
news which has just reached this country,
will surprise operagoers, concert lovers and
all who have heard the famous contralto and
seen her titled husband. Nine. Scalchi thought
the count was devoted to her. to her voice,
her Italian vineyards, and to the sale of the
wines they produced. When she found Lolli
had other attractions and interests in life
she promptly secured a separation.
The count never missed single perform
ance or rehearsal when his wife sang. He
escorted her to and from the opera house.
They spent their time almost entirely to-
gether and we're apparently inseparable. The
separation Of the singer and the count came
about rather abruptly, it is said.
Nine. Scalchi has son who is quite man
grown He is now in this country and will
hereafter act as his mothers associate and
escort in her future concert tours.

 BOAT BAY CITY Walking Beam Came Down With a Crash. NO PASSENGERS WERE HURT A WILD STAMPEDE WHEN THE ACCIDENT HAPPENED. The Steamer Was Close to Her Slip at the Time, So She Easily

NO PASSENGERS WERE HURT
A WILD STAMPEDE VIXEN THE
 ACCIDENT HAPPENED.

There was a scene of wild excitement on the narrow gauge ferry boat Bay City at 9:25 a. m. yesterday. As the steamer was approaching the slip on this side the walking beam broke in two places and fell with a crash into the cabin. Splinters and broken glass flew in all directions, but by a miracle no one was hurt. The pas sengers were badly scared and there were cries of Run for your nfe!" Where are the life preservers?" ''The boiler has eX- plodedr' Save me!' Were sinking!" etc. but none of them got worse than scare.
 The Bay City was close to her landing at the time so the tide carried her against the end of the slip. A few minutes later the tug Reliance came along and pushed her into the dock and the passengers were landed The steamer Newark was at once put into commission and went out in charge of the Bay City's crew on the regu- lar time.
 The Bay City left the narrow gauge slip on the Alameda side at a. m. Owing to the heavy fog she came across the bay slowly and it was 9:25 a. m. before she reached this side. Captain Bradley had rung up to "stop her. and the engineer had his hand on the lever ready to execute the order when the crash came.

cLAMoR FOR THEIR PAY.
Workmen at the Charity Bazaar Will
 Sue for Wages.

The laborers employed at the Charity Bazaar at the Mechanics Pavilion have come to the conclusion that if they get any pay for their work they will have to make a fight for it. The first movement in this direction was made by placing their claims against the management in the hands of Labor Commissioner Fitz- gerald. Thirteen claims in all, amount ing to about $500, have been presented in the hope that the State officers will be able to induce the managers of the bazaar, by a lawsuit or otherwise to pay the men what is due them. Nearly all of the debts for labor were contracted by Captain St Hubert. and although he has ostensibly turned the management of the fair over to H. Barling and the latter has given the business over into the care of T. P. Robinson and s. Leverich, still the claims will be pressed against St. Hubert
