ST. LOUIS, July 20.-No.Withstanding
the fine breeze from the West and the
cloudy sky this morning, the temperature
Is warmer than yesterday. The came
Thermometer heretofore quoted marked
at 8 o'clock this morning, S60; 9o'clock,
S9io; 10 o'clock, 02a'; II o'clock, 93". This
is from half degree at 8 O'Clock TO two
degrees at 10 o'clock higher than yester-
day. Only four eases were treated at the
dispensary up to 10 o'clock, two Of which
were more whisky than heat; one, an old
female graduate Of q soup house and
workhouse, and the other son OF james
J. Finney, the commission merchant, who
while riding In q street car was attacked,
went TO the dispensary himself, and was
restored and sent home. The following
deaths should be added to yesterdays
list: Fred. Epker, Thomas Mueller and
Thomas Kelly, very hard drinkers. The
whole number Of cases reported yesterday
from all sources was only %. nearly all
Of which were slight. Professor Tice
predicts that 10 few days We are 10
have exceedingly hot weather for the re.
mainder Of this month.
There were nineteen cases Of heat and
sickness arising therefrom treated at the
Dispensary to-day, Of which the following
were considered Of sufficient severity to
send TO the Hospital: Robert N. Rowe,
Harry Shannon, William Sheban, Edward
Ford, Henry Evans, Ned Barley, Mary
EIerkuss and VIM. Evans.
The number Of burial permits Issued
to-day was only twenty-one, OF which
only i've were for sunstroke cases. The
daily number OF deaths caused directly
or indirectly by heat since the hot term
set in is as follows: July s, !; 8. 8; 10, 8;
In, 8; l2, l2; 1S. %; IA. 3s; l5, %; l6, 26;
Il7, 81; ls, %; 1871. Total, 1874.
The official record for to-day is not yet
made out, but It will probably not exceed
three. The number OF heat cases received
at the Dispensary during the same time
was 100, Of which only i've died while at
the Dispensary.
Itis worthy Of note, that the physicians
at the Hospital say that cases received BY
them from the Dispensary were in better
condition than those received from other
sources, and fewer Of them died. This
seems TO argue in favor Of the treatment
adopted at the Dispensary, although u
has been criticised to some degree, and 1t
was uuquestionably heroic in the fullest
sense Of that term.
Total number OF heat cases received at
the hospital up to last night was ninety
two, Of which only nine died. From
these statements It will be seen that about
ninety per cent Of the deaths by heat have
been in private practice, or have been Of
those persons who were found dead in
bed.
1t may fairly be stated that while the
heated term Is by no means abated, and
that there are no immediate prospects Of
any great diminution Of the heat for Al
least some days yet, it can safely be said
that the worst Is not only past, but there
is evesy reason to believe there will be
little fatality from this on.
Total deaths for the week ending at 6
p. n. this evening sre 1856, Of which l35
were from the effects Of the heat. OF the
rimaining 25l deaths l2i were Of child.
rem under FIVE years Of age. For the
corresponding week last year the deaths
were only 100.
