GREAT DISPLAY OF GOLD.
Handsome Coin in Exchange Place Store Window.

Much attention has been attracted during the past few days to the dis play of gold money in the windows of Strobels jewelry store, and many eyes have feasted on the glittering ex- hibition. The money, which is 1n various denominations from $2.5O to $2O pieces, is the $1,OOO which is to contribute the capital prize at the Knights of Columbus fair, which opens in City hall on Monday evening, April 4. To be entitled to a share in the distribution of this prize and $500 in smaller ones it is necessary to pur- chase a book which sells for $1 and contains 8 dozen tickets. Many of these books have already been sold and they are now purchasable at any time.
 Some difficulty has been exper- fenced in securing an attraction satis- factory to the committee. but the re- cent visit Of Chairman Hynes to New York, during which he spent two days in the leading booking agency there, it is expected will bear fruit in the en- gagenent of novelty that will prove very popular. Some minor attrac- tions will also be arranged that will make this fair popular one, not alone for the Knights of Columbus themselves, but also for the local pub- lie generally.
 The fair opens on Monday evening, April 4. and will continue during the week. s

THE LAKE BOAT.
Spirited Fight In Congress Over Adopt-
 inS Lake Submarine Boat.
Special to Democrat.)

Especial to Democrat)
 Washington, March 21.-The strug- gle for the adoption by the army for coast defense, or the navy for general use. of the Lake submarine boat, an interesting Connecticut invention, is causing considerable discussion In Washington at the present time. The first fight for and against the adoption of this boat was on the naval appro- priation bill. when Congressman Hill carried the day and had inserted into the bill an appropriation for submarine boats, without naming the kind of boat to be selected.
 It was, however, in the senate that an out and ont fight was made for the adoption aof the Protector or another boat of the same type. The proposition here was to have the gov ernment purchase this boat for the use of the school of submarine defense connected with the army. Senator Platt secured the adoption of this amendment to the fortifcation bill, and $259, ,0OO was the amount allowed. During the course of the discussion in the senate. Senator Scott made q rather remarkable statement. when he
 
 my own mind while of course can not establish 1t. that the success of the Japanese torpedo boat expedftion against the Russian fleets at Port Arthur was largely due to the fact that Japanese were cooks upon one of the Take boats We have learned in con- versation that a Japanese was employ ] ed as cook on Lake boat. He was a NY~x, Nyr TIT tive. He stayed with the Lake people for year. Then he told them he could find them another cook: that he 1 bad to leave. A second one was found. He stayed year, and he was very fnquisfttve. and he manifested great interest in the boat. Then he departed and said he could find them third cook. I have no doubt that these very cooks are to-day engaged in the expedition against the Russian cruisers and torpedo boats, their em- ployment being based upon the in formation they received while they were serving as cooks upon the Lake 1 boat"
 While the amendment passed the senafe Tn good shape, it struck snae In the house. It was insisted that this provision had had no consideration by the house committee. and 1t was there fore voted to send the whole bill back to the committee on appropriations where it now is. A subcommittee has charge of the bill. and Congressman Litauer. of New York, is the chairman of it. He has made arrangements fo1 a hearing on the Lake proposition when Congressman Hill and Captair Simon Lake will go before them ant explain the merits of the boat Nc date has as yet been named for this hearing. but the bill will probably come before the house soon after tn, Dostoff1ce appropriation bill is disposed of. A lively fight is expected when i does get into the house.

BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS.
City Engineer Directed to Proceed With the Work of Kilduff Fountain.

The board of public works held a special meeting Saturday afternoon, Mayor Mton presiding, and transacted a big batch of business.
 One of the important questions grappled with was the legality of the license of J. E. Harrington to main tain cafe at the southeast corner of the green, where he has been doing ous1ness for many years on a license issued to him by the aldermen at $10O per annum. The board was of the opinion that the space is needed for other purposes, but nobody appeared to know whether or not MT Harrington can remain there as long as he con- plies with the provisions of the vote authorizing him to maintain a cafe at that point. In order to get at the facts and see what rights the city has in the premises, 1t was decided to refer the matter to the city attorney for an opin- ion.
 The committee appointed to carry out the proposed comfort station pro Ject reported progress, but said that nothing definite had been decided upon so far as location is concerned. They thought it would be we'll to build the structure on the green near the foun tain or at Grand and Bank streets, be- AASeAe1 tAS SAduG Ol LllS $5IdAI cluA CACC that stands in what the former board practically decided should be convert ed into a bower of beauty and then named Blakeslee square. This is quite radical departure from the original plan and it is thought that if the board selects Grand and Bank streets as the site of the comfort station Blakeslee will fight.
 The city engineer was authorized and directed to proceed with the work Of completing the Kilduf fountain in Stanley park. The engineer was also added to the committee appointed at lae last meeting to purchase road ap- paratus. The committee now consists of the mayor and the engineer. A communication was received from State Highway Commissioner Macdon- ald calling attention to the need of making repairs upon macadam roads every spring. It was referred to the superintendent of streets. The super intendent of streets was instructed to proceed with the work of grading West Main street from the old city line to Grandvtew avenue. The board voted to recommend that sidewalks be laid on West Main street, between the points above mentioned, the law date to be July 1, 1904. A communication was submitted showing the location of the different electric arc and incan- descent lights in the city of Water bury for which the city is paying. In order to enable the policemen to make accurate reports of every light that fails to burn as per contract 1t was voted to request the trolley company to put stensil numbers on the poles, be- ginning at 1 and continuing upward according as new lights are installed.
 It was voted to recommend to the aldermen that sewers be laid in Branch, Grant and Griggs streets. A hearing was decided upon for March % regarding the layout of Hawkins street,

UNLUCKY NEW YORK.
American Liner Aground and Then
 i'm Collision.

SOUTHAMPTON March 21. - The American Ane steamship New York. Captain Young, from New York for Plymouth, Cherbourg and Southamp- ton, met with two mishaps, grounding off Cape la Hague, France, in the early morning and later coming into collision In the English channel with the Penjnsular and Oriental steamship Assaye, under contract, to the British government and used a. troop ship, bound for Bombay with 500 troops on board.
 The New York grounded while ap- preaching Cherbourg early in the morning during fog. The sea was smooth, and the tide was rising, and an hour and half after she grounded the vessel was floated without assist ance. Her bottom was damaged, and was able to proceed.
 During the voyage up the channel dense fog descended. When off Hurst castle, England, the Assaye sud denly appeared, and 1t. was found inn possible to avoid collision. The New York's bow crashed into the Assaye's starbOard bow, tearing a great gap in 1 that vessel. The New York's bowsprit I and figurehead were carried away, and the latter was smashed into fragments.
 There was great excitement, but no panic on either vessel. The boats oS the AssRye were lowered, and ths troops were mustered, but the bulk head of the troop ship saved her. Both l,T- ton, and the New York was docksd for temporary repairs. It will be inn possible to estimate the damage to the New York until she has been put into drydock.
 1t is believed that both vessels have been somewhat seriously injured, An other troop ship will replace the As- saye.
 James Sellers, passenger on the New York, says that while he was at luncheon there was grating noise, followed by tremendous shock. Every ! one ran to the deck, and it was found that the New York's bow was firmly ] fixed in the side of the Assaye. MT, Sellers was close enough to observe the marvellous discipline aboard the troop ] ship. Not second was lost. There was no sign of hurry, and while the boats were being prepared for launch ing the soldiers were mustered with the precision of an ordinary drill.
 "As the vessels parted" concluded MT. Sellers, i've saw a gaping hole fl the Assaye ten feet wide, and sticking on our stem was portma nteau and other portable property. There was nc panic on our boat. Had we struck the Assaye amidship she would have 1 sunk"
