effects of his efforts to elude pursuit and cap
ture. He protests his innocence.

on the charge OF murder.
Their mother, an aged lady living in this
city, is reported to be dangerously Ill from
sorrow at the danger her children are placed
In. Then Mrs Quin, wife Of the murdered
officer, was in delicate health, and the violent
death Of her husband caused prostration,
from which fatal effects are feared. IomD-
kins' wife is in very poor health, and Tomp-
kins himself is threatened with brain fever.

Cornell crews are at practice and in splendid
Condition. Cornell Is very eager to have the
University race of 1879 here, and il Harvard,
Yale, Columbia and Cornell should arrange
about an eight-oared race for that season,

hunt long time to find as fair and, in most
ways, as suitable a track, there being ample
sea room and smooth water
A most exciting race took place here re-

had been out having pretty good allowance
Of work, when suddenly who should come
sailing down but Harvard. They were side

stopped first and that Cornell had rather the
best of 1t. That is not what Howard says

historic In st. Louis and will be known as the

The day was one of terror. Forty adults

were prOstrated in their stores, and many
favor an entire suspension OF business until
cooler weather.

young men in the city. He had been picked
up i'm the street dead from the effect of sun
stroke. DR.. Herman Wooster, ex coroner,

west of the Mississippi, fell unconscious and
expired shortly afterwards.
At O'Clock last night twenty-six bodies
were in the MOrgue, and despite the utmost
care that had been taken, the stench was aW-
full, and pervaded the atmosphere for blocks
away. Fifteen OF the bodies were boxed for
burial and the other were on ice. Most OF the
victims were of the poor and labOring classes,
and many were unknown and destined to
quick and unceremoniuuS burial
The corOner's office was attached to the
Morgue all night, the coroner and deputies
deyoting their time to receiving bodies
Many ladies and young people were pros

suffered intensely from the heat. Six st eet
cars on the Broadway line were sde-tracked
because the teams had fallen dead, or were
dying. Like casualties occurred on other
lines, and animals generally were oppressed
equally with men.
1t has been difficult to obtain an authen-

dead for the day will exceed forty, and be-
sides those one hundred more fatal cases have
been treated at the pubic medical office, and
these form only part of hundreds treated at

who lives here, to-day is the warmest day
this latitude has had for one hundred years.

WASHINGTON, July 16.-The Post this morn
ing publishes an interview with ex-AttOrney
General John Little, of Ohio, who held that
office while Mr. Hayes was Governor, and
who was one Of the visiting statesmen in
Florida. In reference to the political out
look in Ohio, he considers it doubtful whether
next election, and If they do, it will be by q
very small majority This situation he con-
siders due to the dissatisfaction at the Presi-
dents policy. The next Ohio delegation in
Congress will beyond doubt be Democratic.
The National party will, he believes, develop
considerable strength.
