The Oldest Waterbury Crank Fails to
 Remember Day Like This.
 To say that to-day was hot would be putting it very lightly; it was positively sweltering, and gave those who wander from the paths of rectitude very fair idea of what they may expect in the glow ing hereafter. The only ones who could talk about the weather without using pro- fane language were the few who happened in the city hall which was really the only comfortable place in the city. When the run rose this morning it was Q red ball of fire and foretold scorching day. The mercury, which during the night had kept at very fair altitude, com menced to climb and at 5:30 had reached 90 degrees. By a. m. it had reached 92 degrees in the shade, and Street Inspector Colley's men commenced to complain. By 9 o'clock the heat became unbearable and the men were forced to drop off work, a thing which has not happened at that hour of the morning for 40 years. By noon the mark 95 degrees was reached and the payers on South Main were forced to knock off. But the quicksilver did not stop there; it mounted until the self-registering ther- mometer marked 102 degrees, making it the hottest day for score and half of years. The following from statistics show ing the date of the hottest days in June since 1880, may be of interest: June 29, 1881, 83 degrees; June %, 1882, 90; June 6, 1883, 90; June 19, 1884, 93; June 25, 1885, 83; June 2S, 1886, 83; June 30, 1887, 90. September ', 1881, the mercury reached 100 degrees, and it was noted as the warm est day in p years, but to-day beats it by two degrees.
