Physician ARRIVES.

NEW YORK, May Sherman
Powers, research chemist and one OF
the principal heirs of a Harlem con-
tractor who left more than 81 200, 900.
saved himself from an agonizing death
in his home, 224 West 105th street, early
today. after he had accidentally swal-
lowed a large dose of s~trychnine, by
shooting his revolver out Of the rear
window. Neighbors in 1o4th street be-
lieved 1t to be an alarm of burglars.
Powers had been suffering from a
breakdown for several months,
due to overwork. In his scientific In
vestigations he labored day and night,
neglecting sleep, exercise and regular
meals, and his health became so i'm
paired that his physician prescribed
s~trychnine tablets, one to be taken
three times a day.
So engrossed in his work was Powers
yesterday that he took double doses of
the medicine. He continued to work
until long after midnight. Then he
took two more tablets. Almost inn
mediately the nerve centres began TO
become paralyzed and his muscles con-
tracted. He fell to the floor, but by a
strong effort dragged himself to a
bureau in his sleeping-room In the rear
of his laboratory, and got the revolver
an open drawer. Then he began
firing, The neighbors were attracted
and summoned a physician who applied
a stomach pump and saved Powers's
life.

Escaped Prisoner Tells Strange
Story Of Fate Of Sailors

JAMESTOWN. st. Vincent, B. W. L..
May 6.-Captain Collin Stephenson and
the crew of the American whaling ship
Carrie D. Knowles. long since thought
to have beer lost at Sea, may still be
alive in a Venezuelan prison.
An American seaman, who gives the
nam Of Payne. an, escaped prisoner
from Venezuela, has made his way to
Kingstown, where he laid before the
authorities an astounding story of the
seizure of the Carrie d. Knowles at a
Venezuelan port. where she arrived five
a 6 in distress, and the incarcera-
ton by the venezuelans of the captain
and his men.
So convinced are the authorities here
that there Is truth in Payne's story
that they have taken down his full

steps looking to a speedy and thorough

WASH CURES'ECZEMA
why ssIves Fail while a Simple Liquid
Has Accomplished Thousands of Cures.

1t is now thoroughly established
among the best medical authorities
that eczema is purely a skin disease,
due to a germ, and durable only
through the skin. 1t is not a blood
disease at all; in fact, thousands of
people suffer with skin disease and are
perfectly healthy otherwise. and there
by prove they have no diseased blood.
Smeary salves cannot reach .ha
germs because they do no penetrate
the skin. The only way to reach the
germs is by means or a PENETRAT-
ING liquid.
Such a liquid can be obtained by
simply mixing ordinary oil of winter
green with thymol, glycerine n other
healing agents. This compousd. known
as d. DID. Prescription. stops the
itch tinstantly-and the cures ali APP
pear to be permanent. In fact, it took
thousands of cures, case after case
before the best scientific AUTHORITIES
were convinced Of the absolute merit
of the remedy. d. D. p. Prescription
kills the germs in the itching skin. Its
effect is seer within one minute after
the first application. We especially
recommend d. d, ID. Soap in n
ton with the treatment. Petty's Phar-
macy. Broad and Bank streets; A.

bonds, the money to be advanced to the

ration for the building of the trunk

series of securities put out by the old
Aqueduct Board, which fell due on May
/. are to be retired under a BOND issue
of 500, 900, approved by the committee
last night. The original bonds for $780,.
900 were issued in 1879. without any
provision for taking care of them at
maturity. The interest rate of 5 per
cent. has made their total cost $3.50, 900.
The new bonds, for which a sinking
fund of 31s per cent is provided, will be
sold by the comptroller 10 the Sinking
Fund Commission.

should have been in on May /. The
