INV YORK. Aug. l0.-Today has
been the third of the heated term here
and the hottest of the three, with no
prospects of a favorable change tomor-
row The local forecast officer says the
mercury bids fair to touch tho loo mark
tomorrow. At 9 a. M, without a breeze
and the mercury steadily climbing up
ward, the air was sitting. At moo the
heat was unbearable. and at 3 o'clock the
thermometer reached 97o. All the alter
noon the ambulance was busy carrying
humans Frustrated by the heat to the
hospital.
Nothing like it has been recorded at
this time of the year for nearly twenty
years, and a continuance during the week
means an enormous increase OF mortality.
especially in the crowded tenement dis
tricts. Half a dozen deaths occurred and
many more victims are in a precarlous con
dition. Three persons are reported av-
ing been rendered insane by the heat. A
number of members of the police force had
to leave their posts today.
The heat was particularly severe on the
horses. many being overcome. Scenes
in the tenement district tonight are be-
You'd description. The entire population
has deserted the tenements and sought
the house tops and streets. Little relief
was afforded. however, by this means, as
the thick walls are sending forth the heat
accumulated during the day. The entire
population is looking with foreboding for
the da wu of another scorching day.

New YORK, Aug. lO.-Abel Marquis,
who has been DETAINED at the barge office
with his family since their arrival on the
steamer Werkendam a week ago, was per-
mitted to land Yesterday. Marquis was
engaged in the iewelry business in St.
Petersburg, Russia: A rival notified the
police and Gen. Gressner, project of st.
Petersburg. ordered him TO leave the
country. Russian soldiers escorted the
jeWelsr and his family az. IS the Russian
frontier and left them.
A few days later Marquis and his family
we're overtaken by a squad of Russian po-
lice, who demanded Marquis l9-year-old
daughter Jessica, whom they CHARGED
with being a Nihilist. She was searched
bY the police, who found a letter secreted
in her bosom, and then, despite her pro-
testation ofinnocence and the beseechings
of her father and mother, the fair girl
was b~rutally dragged back to st. Peters
burg.
Marquis obtained permission to return
to St. Petersburg, where he spent a large
sum of money In proving his daughters
innocence. He finally secured her dis
charge, but when she was released the
gIrl had a terrible story to tell of the
brutality and outrageous treatment she
had met with at the hands of her captors.
There was no redress to be obtained, the
father thought, so he made his way to
America as soon as possible. He has 800
IN money left and as friends have come
forward aud assured Gen. O'Beirne that
the family would not become public
charges. they were allowed to land.
The father will start anew in the West.

LONDON, Aug. l0.-A letter from
Teheran brings a report to the effect that
the shah, having become much enraged
against Abdulah Kulah, the governor Of
Madzendor, condemned that ruler to the
terrible death Of being boiled alive. The
charge against the unfortunate governor
was that he had embezzled taxes due to
the shah's treasury. The truth, it is al
legged, is that Abdulah had not embezzled
any more than he was in the habit of do
ing, but that owing to the Door harvests
and the poverty of the peasantry he did
not keep the usual amount for the shah.
This greatly enraged the monarch, who is
much in need of money. and he caused
Abdulah 10 be seized and brought to trial
before the council of the state, which
unanimously found him guilty of embez.
Element and found him worthy of death,
leaving the sentence to be passed by the
shah. The latter, with a view of striking
terror Iuto other thieving governors. or.
dered that Abdulah should be boiled alive,
but graciously decreed also that the water
should be boiling hot at the time of the
fatal dip so as to finish him as quickly as
possible. The sentence is said to have
been carried out. The severe punishment
will. it is supposed, be a lesson to othei
governors to he more prompt with theii
payments. The punishment of bollins
alive has been inflicted in Persia before
and the Persians claim that. under tn,
above conditions. life is DESTROYED imme
diately and there is no suffering.

THE DEAD
Some Correspondence In Regard To
His Personal Effects.

A letter was received yesterday from
the Italian consul at Denver in regard to
the death of the Italian, Antonio Coli,
who died a few days ago at the county
hospital. Baggage AReht Swartwood,
when the Italian was taken from the
train, took an inventory of his effects and
sent them. alter the man died, to the
consul at Denver. The Italian had BIG
in money on his person and what was
taken to be a draft on a bank at Como
Italy. The expenses for the care and
treatment amounted to Slll and the re-
mainder of the money was sent to the
| consul with the other effects.
The consul yesterday wrote a letter to
Mr.. S]wtartwood and acknowledged the re-
ceipt of what was left of the dead man S
belongings. What was supposed to be a
draft was nothing but a duplicate of one
belonging to another Italian and the
consul finds that the original has been
cashed at Como, Italy.
His letter was written in a hand
writing remarkable for its difference from
the Spencerian system, but still it could
be deciphered sufficiently to discover what
he was driving at. He says in the letter
that he has been informed by some one
here, and says he can give his name, that
the personal property left by the deceased
Italian included about $3.50 in money and
a 5000 draft. The possession of the
$3.50 and the $4,000 draft was not known
Of here. 1t is more than likely that the
%consul's informant was mistaken and it
would be well for him to forward his
name so that the local authorities al
further investigate the matter.
