THE BRoIL AT CHICAGO.

CHICAGO, ILL, July 17.-Yesterday's fatal
cases of sunstroke number nine. To-day's
fatalities, SO far as known, are four. Probably
a score of people have been sunstruck during
the forenoon. The horses are suffering most.
Some fifty have died since the heated term
began. Last night 5000 people sought relief
from the heat by excursions on Lake Michigan,
where cool, refreshing breeze was constant
and acceptable. The cold wave seems to
have reached the Mississippi river, but accord
ing to reports, 1t is not great relief as an
ticipated. The breeze, after it has passed the
heat. resumes it's sway. southwest breeze is
blowing here to-day, but is only effectual in
favored localities. The thermometer has been
as high as 81 in the shade; averages about 81.

THE BAKE AT ST. LOUIS.
ST. LOUIS. July 1.-THE weather continues
intensely hot; but there is a fine southern
breeze which tempers the heat somewhat and
renders it more bearable. Sergt. Finn, of the
signal service, predicts rain this afternoon or
evening, but says he doesn't think it will have
more than temporary effect, and that the
heated time will continue yet for some days.
Sunstroke cases have been but few this morn
ing. But five cases have been treated at the
dispensary, and they light Three of them
were woman. But few outside cases have yet
been reported, and the opinion of health officers
and physicians is that the worst is over.
Of yesterday cases sent from the dispensary
to the hospital, Newman, Egan and Mcneil
died during the night. Among the fatal cases
last night was August Grog, soda water wagon
driver. He was taken to the dispensary late,
but was SO far gone that he died under treat
ment. Alexander Beauvois, book-keeper in the
wholesale house of Beauvois & Co., got heated
while going home last night, and died in half
an hour. The fatal cases by suTstroke or pros
tration since last Wednesday, when the weather
first became SO intensely hot, SO far as have
been reported to the authorities up to last night
number one hundred and forty five. OF these
probably two-thirds or four-ffths men or
women who were either drunken or habitual
drinkers of strong liquors or beer. The total
number of prostrations during the same time
cannot, of course, be accurately stated, as a
very large number of persons have been treated
at home or elsewhere by family physicians or
doctors called in for the occasion which have
not been reported, but it is probably safe to
say that since last Monday week, or during the
past ten days, between 500 and 1000 persons
have been more or less affected by heat, and
have required medical treatment.
