CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 14-The Eng.
lish mission near Jerusalem has been at.
tackled by Il mob. The missionaries escaped,
rising Of the Druses is extending. Several
villages OF Hauran district have been de-
stroyed by fire. Whole districts of ErZeroum
and Sivas have been devastated by Ktrds, il
is reputeI.
Armenian men, women and children are
said % have been dubbed to death by hum
dredsin the streets of Erzeroum City. A
traveller from Trebizond asserts that het twsan
Erztroum and Baiburt, he met 800 women,
who fell on their knees by the roadside. im-
ploring protection, saying that their husbands
had been murdered and that they were
starving and homeless.
The number slain at Barburt is now re-
ported to be l,50O. The total number of Ar
menian victims in the latest ma ssacres is
thought to be 10000. This total is being
constantly added to. Three hundred Ar
menians, it ls estimated, have been oAiled,
ten days, and the police are still making ar-
rests.
Despite the reports of trouble in the Ara

sent to Arabia was detained five days at Port

The Turks think the ArmeniRns will be
treated as they were twenty years ago, and
that the Armeninns are ungrateful. Thus

ATTEMPTED ROBBERY.
Righwaymen Make Things Lively In
London Centre, n, IL,


LOudOn Centre, n. II.
CONCORD, n. H.. Nov l4--In Loudon
Centre, about seven miles from this city,
there was an attempted highway robbery
and murder Monday night. James Barton,
lumbcrman, living hall mile beyond
Loudon bridge. started cary in the evening
TO visit an acquaintance in East Concord.
His outfit consisted OF IN open democrat
wagon and horse that was so headstrong
that, ms one of the group expressed it, Barton
had never sat down while driving him.
Bartons visit WAS over ut ten o'clock, and
he started to drive over the lonely Loudon
road. When within about two miles of The
village and at the foot OF Oak Hill, a masked
man leaped from the roadside and caught
Barton's horse.
Throw up your hands or I'll shoot" said
the stranger, but Barton only drew his whip
and lashed his steed. At this the animal
gave one OF his characteristic leaps, throwin.
the robber violently to the ground, where
the wheels of the wagon passed close to his
body. In the dense darkness were two COM
panions Of the man who had stopped the
horse.
One of them, probably enraged by the fate
of his pal. said to Barton ID you. We'll fix
you for that" and runnin alter the wagon,
four shots were fired ut Barton In quick sue
cession Two OF the shots penetrated the
dasher and the third came within half an inch
Of penetrating Bartons brain. Barton wore
a narrow-brimmod slouch hat. The bullet
penetrated the brm just behind the right
ear, very close to the head, and passed out
through tho crown of the hat, making two
more holes where it entered and left the
latter.
Barton was unarmed, and there was moth
ing for him to do but fly, and ii eve. he was
glad that his horse was hard bitted and
headstrong it was on this occasion. The All
imal was given Tree rein, and Barton, after
driving mile, stopped at the home OF po-
l!ceman Lyman Jackson. The policeman
spent the remainder OF The night seeking
c!ews as to the probable direction of the
outlaws but to no avail
