On concurrent resolutions both houses adjourned until 8.30 o'clock Monday night. Both houses got down to work this morning at 11 o'clock under a full head of steam. There Was a perfect shower of ‘bills, reports and resolutions, most of . Which have been in type a dozen times or more at previous sessions. Only ® tew of tie bills related to New York City, one of the most important of which was a new excise scheme project- ed by Assemblyman Blake.

IN THE SENATE. Lexow's Resolution Provide: Mayor Strong's Co: (Spectal to The Bening World.) ALBANY, Jan. 10—An all-night ses- gion of three members of the Lexow Committee, which the other two mem- bers knew nothing about, caused the only ripple of excitement in the short wession of the Senate. The tip went around just before adjournment that the Committee would have something to e1 gage the attention of their fellow-Seni tors, and fifteen minutes were devoted to unimportant matters, awaiting the ap- pearance of the reformer from Nyack, ‘When he came in Mr. Lexow didn't even stop to tuke off his overcoat, but ealled up a page and sent this resolution to the desk for the Clerk to read: ‘Whereas, Pursuant 10 @ resolution duly passed om the s0th day of January, 10. special ccmmittoe of the Senste was appointed to investi gate the Police Department of the city of New ‘York, which suid resolution was thereafter and ‘March, 1904, amended so 00 to “ and Correction, Justices OUTSIDER, AT 15 TO |, A Long Shot Oaptures the S2oond Race at Alexander. The Track Looks Like a Tributary of the Potomac Rive: All the Runaing Confined te the Chute Owing to the Fleod. @pecial to The Even! RACE TRACK, ALEXANDER ISL- AND, Jan. 10.—Not in the recollection of the oldest visitor has the track here been in such @ condition as that of to- day. It was covered with water to such an extent that the person visiting the Place for the first time would tmagine that {t was a trbutary of the Potomac River. In consequence of this the last two races, which wers to have been at a mile and six and a quarter furlongs re spectively, were changed to five furlongs each, thus causing all the races to be run from the chute. This action was taken to eliminate the danger of circular racing, but wha! benefit was reaped by this course was lost by the inability of the crowd to dis- tinguish the colors of the different bie until they reached the furlong pole. Horses and jockeys would be covered with mud when they had reached that point. This fact afforded the greatest amusement to the crowd. It generally eupposed that a post- Ponenvent would be declared in view of the track's condition, but the manage- ment decided to race. Marguerite, who fell in the third race yesterday, is more seriously injured than was at first sup- posed. Her should are badly lacer- ated, and she received other injuries | T that will keep her in the stable for some time. Laughing Wator was carded as a starter in the opening event, but was very lame going to the post, and was Not permitted to start.

Severance asked the Brooklyn clubman, who admits that the establish- ment set up for Mra.

Charles said that after a disagree- ment with the rest of the firm, he le! on an agreement that he should recet 600 a month salary, He asked for some Private papers later and was told that the porter had pitched them out. To many questions as what became of that $100,000 the wine agent replied, “I don't kno with a grin. But now and then he fired up and made a speech, to be Interrup.ed each time by Lawyer Richards with: “Mr, Osborn wishes to testify that" Mr. Severance vainly objected to hi ing Richards instruct the witness, and finally Mr, Osborn sald the $100,000 went to the support of his family In Brooklyn, maintaining Mrs. Davis in style and in Personal expenses “That's all, eh?” Mr. Servance asked. “Oh, no; by no means.
