THE INTENSE HEAT CAUS-
ED MANY DEATHS.
LAST WEEK WILL BE LONG hE~
MEMBERED.

DIR. C. NJ. Hammett, Health Othcerr,
presents the following report for week
ending July 30lh, 1892.
Number of deaths. 266; white,
100; colored, LOG Death rate per
1000 per annum: white, 48.9;
colored, 1919. Total population,
55.3: $50 were under five years OF
age; 83 were under one year old
and Al over so years. So of the
deaths occurred in hospitals and
public institutions.
The deaths by classes were as
follows: Zymotic, 1O4; constltu-
tional, 81; local, 105; develop
mental, 19; violence, Z.
The principal causes of death
were: Group, 0; diphtheria, l;
consumption, IA; diarrhoeal, 81;
erysipelas, 0; typhoid fever, 9;
malariaI fever. Z; scarlet fever, o.;
pneumonia, 8; congestion OF the
lungs, 0; bronchitis, 2; mea>
sles. 0; whooping cough, 4;
kidney diseases, Z; meningitis, l.;
cancers, 4.
Births reported: II white males,
% white females; Is colored
males, 26 colored females.
Marriages reported: 16 white:
5 colored. Il-births reported;
l white; 3 colored.
The past week ending on Sat
urday will long be remembered
on account OF the intense and pro-
tracted heat, day and night
throughout the whole seven days,
and especially because of the fear
full deaih~ra1e resulting mainly
therefrom. Two hundred and
sixty six persons departed this
life, of whom one hundred only
were children under five years OF
age, while the rest ranged IN age
from twenty to ninety years. One
hundred and nine were forty
years old and over. The greater
portion of the deaths may be at
tributed directly to the extremely
high temperature of the atmos-
There. While there were forty
one cases of "sunstroke" and
cheat prostration" yet there were
seventy deaths from nervous de-
rangements and nearly hundred
from stomach and intestinal NAL
AIDES, undoubtedly superinduced
thereby.
The mortality for the week is
by far the largest ever occurring
in this city. The next highest
number was that of July 10th last,
when one hundred and ninety
four deaths were reported. The
death rate then was 40.35 per
thousand inhabitants, while for
the past week it reaches 55.3 for
the total population. The in-
crease is not confined to any one
| class of diseases. Very many oil
the deceased were more or less
invalids, who had becomed by
long continued bad health too en-
feebled to resist the debilitatipg
influence of the weather. This
is shown by the decreasing death
rate for the last forty eight hours
since which time the air has beel
gradually growing cooler and
more bracing, and in the same
ratio has the public health i'm
proved. But should another
heated term ensue 1t would bt
wise for all those persons still Ia
boring under depletion of the late
spell to exercise particular care tc
observe all means which may &c

claimant for high speed honOrs' II
has been discovered that the heau-
ing Railroads $3.50 I. NJ, Esaln @
from Philadelphia to Atlantic ely
Lnown as the "Seventy- Minute Fly
ar y is actually the fastest regular
" scheduled passenger train lm Tue
world. The distance from CneSt.
mt street wharf to the Camuen
terminus of the railroad Is ABOUT
mile and a half, and the ferry BOAT
Irlp and transfer of the passengers
from the boat to the cars occupies
tan minutes. This leaves slxty
minutes for the rail ride, and tnat
ia preclsely the time allowed Oy
the schedule to cover the htty-nVe
and a half miles which intervene
between the Camden depot anu
the station in Atlantic City. A ht-
tie figuring will show that this Is a
speed of sixty seconds 10 tne
mile or a rate of ffty-ive and a
half miles per hour, beating the
former record six seconds per mile
and almost FIVE miles per hour.
It should be understood that TINS
refers to the speed of regularly
scheduled trains over the entire
length of their scheduled runs, anu
not to mere phenomenal bursts OF
speed or stretches of fast running
to make up for lost time or delays:
The rate of fifty five and a hai1
miles per hour is exceeded every
day on the Reading Railroad, and
possibly on some other lines, but
on no railroad in the world, so far
as known, is there train run from
end to end of its route at so great
an average speed as that or the
Seventy Minute Flyer" ,
When the latter was ESTABLISH heu
It was not with the purpose OF
breaking a record, but the officials
were confident of their ability 10
run a train safely and promptly ID
the specified time, or less II re
ouired. 1t was determined how.
ever, to limit the train to six ca cars
in order to insure qulckness. Inls
was fou ID to be impractlcsble, and
for more than a week the train has
been carrying eight cars, including
one or more heavy Pullmans, and
making schedule time on every
trip.
President Mcleod can now cOn>
gratulate himself that bis road
holds the "world's record for the
fastest mile (99 As seconds, as
timed August 27, 1891, 10y PreSi-
dent Mcleod, Mr.. William Singer
Iy, of the Philadelphia Record, and
others), and also has upon its time
table the tastes regular train in

republicans in the City Hall Squa,e e
last Monday evening, under the
auspices of the Harrison and Nor
ton League, where the nomination
of our standard bearers, Harrison
and Reid, were ratified in good
Old fashioned republican sUvle,
The meeting in every iiue, fea ure
and particular was great success,
a sort of revival. We stood 'neaih
the shadow OF the immortal Lin
coin, commuued with the mars
tyr president, Chase, Sumner,
LovejOy. Stevens, Wade. Brown,
Gaines, Logan, Sheridan, Grant,
Elliott, the old guard OF freedom
aud mans equality before God
and the law.
Who was there that was not
revived?
Let US all thank the club for
the splendid arrangements, the
good speaking, the patriotic senti-
ments that fell from the lips of the
young Americans that occupied
the platform, but especially tor
choosing such date, August 1st,
anniversary of emancipation in
the West Indies, and not forget
the music that was loyal to the
core. Such meeting as that can
but prove of good account to the
party and especially to the great
populace in this city from the
South, who are not allowed there
TO have such political love feast,
because of the Southern rule, shot
guns, pistols and public opinion
that forbids one class Of its citi-
zens to worship in their political
house and faith.
Better days are coming, bitter
has been the bud, but sweet will
be the flower.

LABOR LAW.
JUDGE RIGHTOR DECIDES THAT A La
BoR UNION CAN EXPEL A MEMBER.

In the mltter or the state ex. rel Mil
ton Sparks vs.. Screwmen's Benevolent
Association No. ?, Judge RightOr, or the
civil district court, yesterday rem
dered dec sion giving judgement in fav-
or of the association and denied the writ
of mandamus prayed for.
The case, Which was argued on We'd
nesday by G. L. Walker for the plaintiff
and ]. NJ. Vance for The defendant, was
one involving the rights of labor Organi-
cations to expel members.
Plaintiff invoked the writ to compel
the defendant corporation to reinstate
him to membership, he being expelled
for the nOn-payment of a tax, holding
that the action of the organization was
oppressive and violation of the constitu-
tiOn in thar h thereby became debarred
from making living.
To this plea defendants, in reply, as
serted that plaintiff had submitted
| to the rules of the organization, and was
consequently bound by them insofar as
there was NJ violation of public policy
and public morals.
The court, in passing upon the case,
closely followed the law laid down in the
case Of Curtis vs.. the Stevedores' Benev-
Oent Association, here in the supreme
court discussed point closely connected
with the one at issue, holding that an or
ganization coull not be held responsible
for the individual actions of its members.
and that they we all bound by the re-
quirements of their charter and bylaws.
and when violating either they must pay
the penalty required by the provisions Of
the rules and regulations of the assOcia-
| ton. For these reasons the writ prayed
for was denied.
The case excited a great deal of inter.
est among the labor organizations OF the
city. Daily P,cayune.
