Collision Under Water.

Toulon, Nov 23.-While engaged in
making a joint attack on the battle
ship Jaureguiberry during the naval
maneuvers on this port, the subma-
rines Bonite and Souffleur collided at
a depth Of 80 meters. The Souffleur's
coming tower window was masked
and the water began to rush in, but
with rare presence of mind the COM
mander operated the rising mechan-
ism and the vessel reached the sur
face before 1t had time to fill COM
pletely. The naval authorities have
ordered searching investigation as
to the cause Of the collision.

Rattle with Rafs.

With lheIr backs against The wall and
their clubs fying Ike fails, Charles
Wheeler aud William Wesa fought for
their lives With q thcu'and big gray
granery rats in Waterbury, Conn, last
Tuesday. The men had planned a
slaughter OF the rats, but when The ami
mails we're cornered they came precious
near deyouring the men. Wheeler and
Wesa killed two hundred rats in the
brief bat deadly combat, which ended
only whom other men went to The rescue.
A horde of greedy rsts infested II. Il,
Stone & Co.'S grain warehouse at Wafer
bury and devoured much grain. Wheeler
and Wesa, clerks there, determined to
exterminste tho pests. For days they
plugged various rat holes, then by
sprinkling grain temptingly they finally
lnred the Ia,s into a small room where
bran is stored. While the big drove ran
here and there the men plugged the rat
holes ia the little room and attacked the
rats with clu BIS.
But the rats, cornered, did not wait
TO be clnbbed. Nosooner had Wheeler
and Wesa slammed the door behind them
than great lean rat, fqueeling, jumped
at Whaa''' ice. Behind II came the
eu.oye. They writhed at the
1t. swarmed up their legs, bit
saysgely st their shoes and sprang high
in the air 10 an effort to get at their un-
protected hands and faces.
The men welded their clubs like mad
and yelled for help, but the squealing
animals only attacked them the more
furiously. One worked his way inside
Wess's trouser leg and tore savagely at
bis ankle. Another sank his teeth into
Wheeler's hand. The two might have
been eaten alive had not other en-
ployees heard their shouts and thrown
open the door. The rats scur'ied out OF
the building and the two eKecntioners
d,onrAd exhausted.

Suicide OF Trusted Employee.

Charles Abbott, boy twenty years
old, and manager of the stock Office OF
Wade & Hedges, in Washington, shot
himself and died instantly in the down
town Office of his employers, at 4OG Fifth
street northwest yesterday.
In his pocket two notes were found,
in which It was made plain that unsuc-
cessful spectation and illegitimate use
of bis employers money were the motives
tor the decd. One was addressed to his
employers and the other to his father.
As he was the manager of the down
town Office and the handler of q great
amount Of money, he was required at
certain periods to make an accounting to
his employers. He was asked by .
member OF the firm 10 be prepared to
20 over the books on Thursday, but
when the time came he conld not be
found. Yesterday tho employers re-
uewed their efforts TO see him, and on
going to the Office about Z o'clock they
found him dead.
One of the firm admitted that they had
suspected the boy, but that they had had
no intention Of prosecuting him. 1t Is
also said that II he had made known HE
shortage, the money would have been
provided By his relatives and friends.
1t is thought that his speculatlons
have been going going on for some weeks,
and that the recent decline IN Wall
street prices is mainly responsible for
his losses.
The father of the suicide, Julius Alb.
bott, is the owner of cigar store at 4S2
Four-snd-a-half street, Washington
The boy had been thepride of the house

He stopped and looked about for
the cause when there was repetition
Of the noise from the air above him.
There was no sign of the cause.
He drove little further and the
noise was repeated.
For two DAYS he heard at inter-
walls the sound of something cut
ing the air, but he failed in. an eff
fort to locate the cause.
Saturday his corn planter was

drove the team toward the after
noon work. Something hit the iron
seed box with crash. Tnvestiga-

He took a horse and went on tour
of investigation. He found that
the troopers from Fort Des Moines,a
mile away we're practicing their rifle
range. For two days he had
been listening to flying bullets any
one of which might have been

File reported to Colonel Murray,
in command of Fort Des Moines.
Orders were given abolishing prac-

measure could be found to insure
