SKIPPED VARIOUS PLACES.

The R ecent Heavy Rain skipped wood-
 bridge, Bethany and North Hayan-rhe
 Rain Did Great Good.
 Mir. Weaver, the bieyolist, took run on his Columbia yesterday out of the city to westville, Woodbridge and Bethany, and also visited North Haven. He expected that the effects Of the re- cent heavy downpour of rain would be visible in these places, but not trace of rain was to be seen in these towns. the road being "as dry as bone," the fields parched and the brooks nearly dried up. The rain which had drenehed the streets of this oity had not extended into westville but a short distance. North Haven roads looked drier than ever. The water in the big reservoir in Bethany had fallen all of three feet since Mir. Weaver visited the locality three weeks ago.
 Hartford got the full benefit of tho shower. At s:30 rain began falling and by 10 o'clock 1t had assumed the char acter of a rainy night, and while tired and worn humanity slept the earth was being refreshed by the downpour. It was an all-night rain, and the heavy skies and cool atmosphere prevailed all day yesterday, contributing much to comfort. At the West Hartford reser- voir the rain gauge showed thirty-seven one hundredths of an inch fall, and at the Farmington reservoir forty-two one hundredths. The fact that the sun was obsoured all day yesterday allowed the rain to work its way into the earth be- fore 1t evaporated. It was just the thing needed for the tobacco crop, which has suffered greatly from the extreme heat and dry weather of the past week.

4 DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.
The Burning of the Hemenway Property in Suffield.

The Burning of the HemenWay Property In
 Suffield.
 Suffield, July 23.-The fire which de- stroyed the Hemenway property Sat urday night was a disastrous one, and is the talk of the town from its devas- tating character. It was caused by a bolt of lightning which struck the horse barn of John A. Hemenway, who lives on the West Suffield road. A brisk gale was blowing at the time, which furious ly famed the flames, and in an hour and half all the buildings on the place excepting the ice house. were laid fiat, including the dwelling. Five splendid horses and seven blooded COWS were burned. So rapidly did the flames spread that MT. Hemenway had only time to loosen two of the horses stabled there before he was obliged to retreat to save his life. William Park, who works for MT. Kent, attempted to liberate the cows and had cut the ropes, when he lOuAu LID ClOIulll6 Ol AlC, IIlduG q rapid exit from the burning barn, stripping off the garment as he ran.
 Most of the furniture in the house was taken out, and most of it was car ried to the spacious verandas of the Kent place, where the lattice awnings were drawn down, which protected it from the heavy rain.
 Notwithstanding the heavy shower a large crowd on foot and with teams flocked to the scene of destruction and aided in every way possible to save what could be taken out.
 The buildings burned were horse barn, 26 by 52 feet; COW stable, 34 by 60; tobacco shed, 72 by "A; carriage house, 26 by 50: two story house, with els, 60 by 32. Et
 The house was landmark over 100 years old and was always,owned by the Hemenway family. At one time it was occupied by MT. Hemenway, ST., as fa- nous select school. &
 MT. Hemenway lost a large number of old and valuable documents, and good share of the family clothing; also thirty tons of hay, fifty cords of wood, four sets of double harness and one set of light double harness. The loss cannot at present be estimated. The buildings were insured. 5-

HUCKLEBERRY CROP RUINED.

The Hot Weather Has Dried up the Fruit.
 The Hartford Courant gives gloomy report of the prospects for huokleber- ries in that section, saying: The long dry spell has had disastrous effect upon the huokleberry crop m this sec- tion. The upland pastures, where the berries are usually the most abundant, are 30 parcbed and dry, and the sun has poured it's rays so fiercely upon the bushes, that the berries have been burned up, and the income which comes to the farmers through this source, and is largely earned by the nimble fingers of their wives and daughters, will be missing this year. There are some ber- ries to be found in the lowlands and in the swamps, but the great bulk of the crop has been ruined. In the. markets there are some few baskets shown, but the berries are not of first quality. al- though the price is up to IS cents. The glossy black huokleberry is practical nonentity this season.

 Hartford, July 23.-Vicar General James Hughes Is expected home in Hartford tomorrow Tuesday) evening from his trip which he took for the ben eft of his health, which had become seriously impaired.

 The Lucania ,on which Father Hughes and his brother, pr. Bernard Hughes, came over, had some rough weather about five hundred miles out from Queenstown. The ship was bounding westward nearly at top speed when a big wave toppled over the port bow and rolled aft. It's spray broke on the prom made deck. The bridge railing was bent and twisted. Passengers who had been sitting on chairs and looking at the lngry sea from the main deck fled from he invading water. A sailor who was knocked against an iron railing lost sev- sral teeth and three of his ribs were sroken. A cabin passenger was thrown lHainst rail by the suden checking of he ships progress. His head was cut.
 Just after the first big sea rolled aboard another followed 1t, increasing the confusion, especially among the steerage passengers, of whom there were 465. A woman was knocked down and bruised. Part of the torrent broke In the thick plate glass windows of the library and flooded it, ruining some of the upholstery. An iron ventilator un- aer the bridge was twisted out of shape lnd some other ventilators were washed way. The steamship was slowed down knd no more water came aboard.
 The Lucania reached New York Sat- pyday morning. Father Hughes went te the house of his brother in New York where he will remain until tomorrow to rest. Other passengers on tine Lucania were: MT. and Mrs. Cornelius Wander. hllt, 'rhcmas Crimmins, Eugene Hig- Hins, Charles Frohman and Mrs. Paran Stevens.

In September last the Trlluae re-
ported the massacre Of the A menlar
population at Erzeroum, near the Rus
slo-Turlrsh border of 800 Turkish SOL
dlers, the particulars of the occurrence
not being then fully alt hand, but
enough being known TO justify the ex-
pectatlon OF reprisals such as have OF
late taken place In the province OF
sassou. resulting in the slaughter of
an unknown number of helpless Arme-
mans. The situation of the latter is
at all times anomalous and defenceless,
except for an occasional blow at their
oppressors like that at Ezeroum. Their
territory is divided between Russia,
Turkey and Persia, leaving them no
nationality of their own. but only the
common bond of their faith and race,
which Is no buttress against any op-
preston which their various rulers may
decree for them, and only a slight one
against the robber bands which every
where encompass them, taking from
them a heavier tribute than the official
tax-gatherer. who is only another type
OF robber, acting under the authority
OF the governor OF the province In coll
lectng his levy oftentimes with as
much violence and cruelty as the Kurd-
ish and Turcoman bandits themselves.
The fanaticlsm OF their Mohametan
neighbors Is u constant menace to them,
and has led to succession of massa-
cres like the recent one, century after
century, since the Callphate spread be-
yond It's Arabian boundaries. Some
thing protective and effectual ought 10
be done for this harrassed and be,
leagured Christian people, almost iso-
lated there in ghe midst OF their OPP
pressors and enemies, That portion OF
them who since the last Russo-TurklsN
war and It's causing territorial dlstrl-
button. are under Russien rule get on
very well, and are adequately protect
ed, but those left to the tender mercies
Of the Turk and the Persian are in |
situation Of constant oppression and
peril, II the recent massacre be as
great as reported, 1t win arouse In be-
half OF that people the sympathetic |
sentiment OF the Christian world, and
as the prelude OF their relief the grand
