Sept. 6. -Cha 'otte Ives, the American actress, now at the Hotel Savoy, confirms the report of her en gagement to Antonio Scotti, baritone of the Metropolitan Opera Company in New York. Site said the marriage would take place as soon as the ar- i rangements could be made. It will probably be in New York. The betrothal has caused a stir, both here and on the continent, because it marks the collapse of the long-lived rumor that the famous baritone would marry Geraldine Farrar, the prima donna. The announ< ement has given new interest to the fact of the sudden de parture of Miss Fairer for Munich re cently.

Both have busily denied the report ever since, but Scotti’s at tentions to the prima donna continued to feed the fires of rumor. Even after the opera season wa» over. Signor Scotti used to follow Miss Far rar to Piu’is, and he was her devoted cavalier during several summer en gagements. Some of Miss Farrar's friends say she believed no artist should marry, and they attribute her refusal to her devotion to her art.

It was a spectacular blaze, sot the fac tory was filled with wooden mouldings and varnish and other high inflamma bles, and it looked for a time as though the whole block would be destroyed. The fire companies at last got the blaze under control, saving the brick f[ront of the structure, though the remainder of the building and its contents were a total loss. The damage is estimated at about $15,000. Perhaps 10,000 persons, drawn from West End on one side and the mill dfsa. trict on the other-, gathered to watch the blaze. They filled Whitehall street, crowded the long trains of frieght cars in the Peters street yards, and swarm ed onto the roofs of nearby buildings. The luck of the trolley company stood it well. The physical connection between the Ashby street and West Eml lines, at Park and Lee streets, had been completed just fifteen minutes when the fire broke out. The connec tion between the tracks, which had lain separate for- years, was made for just such emergencies as this. And within half an hour after the work was done, lie first car, a College Park, was re routed fiom the efty and passed over the new track. Traffic through tile underpass by the regular lines was impossible. The tracks lie almost under the eaves of the binder factory and anv car caught there would have been destroyed before it could run the gauntlet of flames.
