NEW YORK SENATE sTIRRED.
sensational mud Bitter DebHte-Pia''
 Man Tuuned Down.

Man Turned Down.
 Albany, N. Y, April 16.--Not since the memorable days of the Conkling- Platt insurrection has the state senate been the scene of more bitter personal- ties or of a more sensational political battle than that of this morning and afternoon, when Governor Odell's nomi- nation of Railroad Commissioner Frank M. Baker, to succeed himself, was rejected by a coalition of Senators Bracket, E. R, Brown and Elsberg- the three so-called "insurgent republl- cans"-with the democrats. An in- | tensely personal conflict was precipi- tated between Senator Bracket and Senator Raines, the republican presi- 1 dent pro tenn. The acrimony of the conflicts over the Lexow investigation of the New York police, and over the original Raines liquor law, was sur passed and the densely packed senate chamber heard an analysis of personal and political motives and an inter change of recrimination into which all the bitterness of, long nursed animosity was poured forth. z.
 It is not unlikely that the battle will be renewed tomorrow, when 1t is ex- pected that the judiciary committee will report the nomination of George Wilson Morgan, tp be superintendent of state elections sent in by Governor Odell to-day After bittle struggle the nomination was sent to the judici- ary instead of the finance committee, to which the republicans sought to send it.
 The defeat of Baker is considered a slap at Platt.

FOR WOMEN Much That Every Woman
 Desires to Know About Sanative Antisep-
 lie Cleansing
And about the Care of the Skin,
 Scalp, Hair and Hands.

Too much stress cannot be placed on the great value of Cuticura Soap, Oint- ment and Resolvent in the antiseptic cleansing of the mucous surfaces and of the blood and circulating fluids, thus affording pure, sweet and economical local and constitutional treatment for weakening alterations, infiammatlons, itchings, irritations, relaxations, dis placements, pains and irregularities peculiar to females. Hence the Cuti- cura remedies have @ wonderful infu- ence in restoring health, strength and beauty to weary women, who have been prematurely aged and 1nvallded by these distressing ailments, as well as such sympathetic afllictions as anamia, chlorosis, hysteria, nervousness and debility.
 Women from the very first have fully appreciated the purity and sweetness, the power to afford immediate relief, the certainty of speedy and permanent cure, the absolute safety and great economy which have made the Cuticura remedies the standard skin cures and humour remedies of the civilized world. Millions of the women use Cuticura Soap, assisted by Cuticura Ointment, for preserving, purifying and beauti- flying the skin, for cleansing the scalp of crusts, scales and dandruff, and the stopping of falling hair, for softening, whitening and soothing red, rough and sore hands, for annoying irritations. and ulcerative weaknesses, and for many sanative, antiseptic purposes which readily suggest themselves, as well as for all the purposes of the toilet, bath and nursery.

Mr.. LEAR TELLS HIS
STORY OF ACCIDENT.
Says He had His Boat Under Per.
feet Control but was not Given
a Chance.

E. B. Lear, of Mechanicsville, who
was in charge of the naptha launch
which collided with a skiff off the
borough dock Monday night, drown
ing Edward Burke, tells the following
story of the accident:
1.-The boat was running at a low
rate of speed and 1 had it under per-
feet control. Where the boat that l
ran into came from 1 do not know.
When I first saw 1t l was within a
very few feet of it and I threw my
wheel hard over to avoid running into
it.
Just about as the boats anne to-
gether 1 saw a mar with his hands out
as if he were going to push the boat
away, but before he could reach the
boat I saw him pitch forward and fall
overheard between the two boats. ]
stopped the engine at once, but the
boat drifted a little further. I then
turned around and asked if anybody
was hurt. I received no reply from
those in the boat. They started to
row in behind the borough dock. I
then called to people or the dock and
asked if they had picked up the man
who had fallen overheard. Someone
replied, They're all right, and then
someone else said, mo, they didn't
pick him up
81 then called to the others in the
boat and asked them to come out and
look for the man, but at first received
no reply from them. After a while
they rowed out to me and / had a
short talk with them. They talked
very nicely and gave me the name of
the man who fell overheard, after
which I proceeded to the coal docks
and tied the boat up. I had a party
of ladies with me and was on my way
to the borough dock to get some more
friends.
ct am an experienced boatman and
this is the first accident I have had.
IVY UOdu udo w. pAO oSS
and if 1 had had any show at all the
accident wouldn't have happened. ]
think that if the three men who were
rowing the boat had pulled a little
harder on the bars they could have
escaped the collision"
Mr.. Lear feels so badly about the
accident that he doesn't think he can
ever run the boat again.
