STEAMER HITS SCHOONER.

New York, March 21.-The North German Lloyd steamer Lahn, Captain Pohle which arrived this morning from Bremen and Southampton. was in collision with an unknown four-masted schooner at o'clock this morning about nine miles east of Sandy Hook lightship, the weather being thick and raining at the time. The vessel, which was lying at anchor. and her bow spirit struck the steamer on the star board side forward of the bridge, carrying away three davits. smashed bridge stanchions and broke rail of hurricane deck aft of the bridge The steamer quickly cleared the schooner and laid by for nearly two hours. The schooner showed no signals and ap- parently suffered no other damage than the loss of her iibboom. The steamer then proceeded and picked her pilot off the lightship where she anchored till daylight.

MAKES A SUGGESTION.

New York, March 21.-This sugges- ton is made by the Herald regarding the St Petersburg dispatch stating .Another high official has been shot at" In view of the control exercised by the Russian authorities upon tefe- graphic dispatches. the fact that a dis patch worded like the foregoing has been permitted to leave the countIy suggests many possibilities. First. at tention centers on Car Nicholas Il. himself. the more especially because of the rumors which were current in Berlin on Tuesday last that an at tempt had been made upon his life.

LEPROSY IN PHILIPPINES.
Trying to Confine the Cases to Two
 of the Islands.

Washington, March 21.-Marine Hospital Surgeon Perry. chief quar- antine officer for the Philippines, has forwarded here an official report on leprosy in the Philippines. He says: "Leprosy is widely prevalent over the entire archipelago but the greatest number of cases exists in Southern LuZon and the Southern Islands. It is quite prevalent in Cebu, the num- Der of lepers being estimated at 2,OOO. The total number of cases in the islands is estimated at 10000 but the actual number is not known, and q census is difficult on account of the majority of cases being in the rural districts.
 ''The cases in Manila and surround ing country are isolated in a substan- tiaF hospital under the auspices of the Manila board of health. There is also a leper hospital at Cebu.
 "An attempt at segregation and iso- lation of the lepers in the islands has been made by the army officials. and a board of army officiers was detailed recently to investigate several islands for the purpose of selecting a suitable one for a leper colony. the intention being to deport all cases of leprosy to this place for segregation and isola- tion.''

ANOTHER FREsHET.
The Heavy Rain Damaged Property in
 Many Places.

The rainstorm of last night and to- day deluged the town and did con- siderable damage to private prop erty in many places. The eastern sec ton suffered heavy damage on ac- count of the rush of water along the brook that rushed down the hills above Laurel street and continued through the lots to William street and from there over to Kenyon street. Some of the yards were gullied so badly that fears were entertained that the build- ings nearby would topple over, aid in order to be on the safe side many were preparing to skip to safer quart CTS when the water began to show signs of abating. The water worked it way under a barn belonging to Con- tractor James Sutton on Williams street, undermining the foundation so badly that it is thought the building will fall as soon as the frost goes out Of the ground. The new block at the corner of We1ton and East Main streets was filled to the first floor with water and mud but whether the dam- age will amount to anything could not be ascertained today. There seems to be no one responsible for this con dition of affairs. The water comes from the side hills and as the little gully seems to be growing smaller v N surface water is constantly on the in- crease so that it looks as if the city and the property owners will soon Ee obliged to move in the matter, whether they like it or not. At the outing of the board of public works last Monday the engineer was instruct ed to prepare a plan for the treatment of the brook at Laurel and Williams streets. but what will this amount to if it is not seen to where it runs through private property? The Nau- gatuck and Mad rivers are high and if it rains much more this afternoon or tonight the damage from surface water at various points will be suffi- cient to show the public that the sooner the storm water drainage sys- tenn is taken hold of the better every body will like it. The rain came down in torrents during the forenoon and bounded off the sidewalks with enough force to wet pedestrians to the knees so that people who happened to es- cape it on the downward trip caught it on the fly and were thoroughly soaked from head to foot.

LOST TWO HORSES.
Teamster for Fred Peltier Unhitched
 Them on Watertown Road.

A teamster working for Fred Pel- tier of 42 Madison street had a rather peculiar experience on the Watertown read last night. and as result MT Pel- tier is engaged in a still hunt for two valuable horses and had found no trace of them up to press hour to-day. The man had four horses attached to the team and, wanting to turn around, he found that he could not perform the feat without unhitching the leaders,
 which he did, and left them standing on the roadside while he swung the wagon with the other horses attached to the point he wanted. Then he l turned to the animals he had unhitched but before he had chance to reach them they took to their heels with 1 lightning speed and soon were out of sight. The man drove home without
 them and it was thought that ill due
 time the horses would make their way
 to the stable, but in this the owner was mistaken and he has been on the
 lookout for them ever since The horses are described in an advertise
 ment in to-day's issue of the Demo-
 crat.

PHILIPPINE ISLAND BUSINESS.

Washington. March 21.-The imports into the Philippine Islands from the United States during the first eight months of 1900 were $1 .34O, ,717, an in- crease of 72 per cent over the same period of 1900. The total value of merchandise, gold and silver, import- ed into the islands from January to August, 1900, was $16.SG5.6S4. The exports were valued at $17,SOS, ,222, showing a balance in favor of the archipelago. These figures as com. pared with the same periods of 1899, show an increase of 34 per cent in imports and 2S per cent in exports. The exports to the United States show a decrease, S1. 1.954,931 worth being sent to this country in 1900 as against $2, s47, ,739 worth in 1899.

WITNESS VAS EMPHATIC.
He Shocked the Judge and
 Lawyers To-Day

Was Giving Testimony in Brennan
 Berlin Iron Bridge Case-A Union
 City Man Said Naughty Words and
 Proved to Be Match for the Able
 Attorney.
 Hugh McDcnald. an honest laboring man living in Union City. did to-day in the superior court before Judge Ihayer what no lawyer in the state would think of doing. giving express sion to cuss words and retain his lib- erty. Mr McDcnald was a witness for the plaintiff in the suit of Bren- nan against the Berlin Iron Bridge company for $1GGoU for loss of his bar. he was explaining how q large beam fei on Brennan.
 Attorney Loomis. counsel for de- fendant, said: NOW. suppose this . meaning the end of the jury bench. the beam fell on Brennan
 No. sir" said the witness; sthis." meaning the wall. 'is the pile"
 No, no.' insisted the lawyer, "this is the pile.' referring to the jury
 Not by q darned- sight" (darned will do just as well as the word he usedD Everybody laughed for the man was honest, but only somewhat positive.
 Now, you see. Brennan was push ing along one of the beanis in this way" and he pushed along an ina gi- nary beam with the aid of a crowbar: that's the way he was working when the beam fell on him from the pile near him.
 Ut was hard pushing. was it not?'' asked NIr Loomis. Well, it was,'' was the answer
 And I suppose you put all your strength in the work?''
 Well, I don't know about that. '' was the answer, and there was more laughter. "I put in a fair days work at it because we did not want to mon- key With it. you sec"
 "1ou worked pretty hard, then, l presume?'
 What the -" and another bad word dropped from him. causing more laughter; do you think I worked SC hard as to kill myself in one day? Mo- sir: l don't work that way" Did you see Brennan's hands when he was working?' Did I see his hands? What a uues tion you ask. Did see his hands?" '1es, did you see his hands?' | "Ah, what are you talking about?' said witness, with disdain; "sure you're speaking like child." Thi: sally caused a cessation of business fol a while.
 ''Where were your eyes?' was tht next question. | Witness looked at the lawyer witl an air of suspicion
 Where were. my eyes?" he asked indignantly. "Well, sir, they wer, where they are now'
 And where is that, pray,'' asked | Mir Loomis.
 Looking at you.''
 This sally came near knocking ou MT Loomis. Witness was more thai his match. Even sedate Judge Thay CT was visibly "effected.''
 'But you couldn't have been look ing at me when you were working wit Brennan?'
 ''No," said the witness, 'but my eve were where they are now, and that in my head.'
 This sufficed for MT Loomis.
