People got relief yesterday from the scOrching heat, but it came in such d

 the city was going to be swept away by tornado. Thunder and lightning. dark clouds. drops of rain, every one of which would almost fill an ordinary sized dinner pail, and wind that trav- eled with terrific speed, all made up storm such as one seldom sees in Wa .terbury Dust whirled about in all directions and people who were out and didn't swallow some of it must have carried closed mouths. The red road material rose high over all the rest and kept floating about until most of it had found a resting place in the front rooms. stores and other places. Houses creaked and groaned and trees swayed to and fro. in some instances shingles and limbs being torn from their moorings and carried out of sight. It didn't last long and very little rain fell, but it cooled things off considerably and gave folks a chance to have supper with more satisfaction than they have had since the hot spell set in. Considerable damage was done to fruit trees and garden produce suf- fered some. too: especially tomato vines and corn . A few people were struck by flying splinters. but nobody was seriously hurt, although one lady got such whack from one of the trees in the green that she had to he assisted to The Elton. The electric wires were tangled up some. but not quite so badly as one would expect.

RUSSIAN CANDLES FOR JAPAN.
Steady Shipment to japanese Ports of
Articles of Worship.

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
Candles. vestments and church supplies
are not contraband of war these days, and
steamers from this port have been carrying
these articles of worship and ritual on their
way from Russia right into the heart of
Japan. All this because the Russian Church
still has hundreds of thousands of members
among the japanese, and even in the navy
and army many of the highest officers were
educated in the Russian Church and still
obey its religious commands.
This remarkable state of affairs has be-
come known through constant shipments
from San Francisco by Russian order to
Yokohama. Tokyo and Hakodate of the
rious articles used in the ceremonies of the
orthodox Greek Church. These shipments,
among them which will leave on the
steamer Mongolia next week, are paid for
by Russian coin from the states Golfers,
and they will be used for the spiritual ben
