AN UNCOMFORTABLE DAY.
Some Facts and Figures Concerning the
Heat of Yesterday.

Some Facts and Figures Concerning the
Heat of Yesterday.
Yesterday was pretty uncomfortable.
To be sure, the signal service men did
not find reason for pronouncing it a
scorcher, but the people who had to
move around much were liberal patrons
of the soda fountains and did not hurry
unless it was absolutely necessary.
Uncle Jerry Rusk's young men in their
sky parlor in the First National Bank
building reported that the. average
temperature was 1872; the mean humidity
was so; the mean dew point was SO; the
highest temperature was S7.2o, the lowest
7O.1o. The warmest day in July for 20
years was on July IS, 1876, when the
mercury climbed to 97o., July 25, 1891,
the maximum temperature was 770, and
the mean humidity So. The average for
the month was 80.6o. July 25, 1890, the
maximum temperature was 690, the
mean humidity was 100, the average for
the month 1852.

GAMBLING OR COMMERCE?
Mr.. George Tells About Wind Cotton and
Asks Question.

WASHINGTON, July Ex-senator Vest
introduced today joint resolution au-
thorizing the President to proffer to
Great Britain, Germany and France, as
an inducement to enter into the interna-
tional agreement for the free coinage OF
silver, reduction of rs per cent in the
tariff duties on textiles, hardware, earth
enware and glass. 1t was laid on the ta-
BILE.
The anti-options bill was taken up, and
Mr.. George addressed the Senate. He
spoke of the New Orleans and the New
York cotton exchanges as being COM
posed of some 600 men, not one of whom
raised cotton, consumed it or even han
died it. In one day in the New York
Cotton Exchange, he said, 1900 bales of
mythical, '.phanton" or 'wind' cot
ton were sold for one bale of real cotton.
He asked whether that was real, genuine
commerce or gambling.

FEAST FOR FLAMES.
Bay City, Mich., Swept Nearly Out
Of Existence.
OVER THREE HUNDRED HOUSES
IN ASHES

Two Churches, Four Hotels and About
Forty Stores Included in the List of
Losses-Fire F1end Devoured One House
Before Help Could Reach An Invalid
Who Perished In the Tlames-Other
Lives Said To Be Lost.
BAY CITY, Mich, July 25.-The great
est fire that ever visited Bay City broke
out this afternoon in the lumber manu-
featuring establishment of Miller &
Turner on West Water street at the foot
of 29th street. A southwest wind was
blowing which famed the flames into
roaring confagration and swept them
across Water street to the settled dis
trict. The east side of Water street,
where the fire crossed, was built up
with stores, hotels and restaurants.
Nearly all of the buildings were of wood
and burned like tinder. The wind in
creased as the flames progressed, and in
an hour the fire had consumed Miller 6
Turner's entire plant, comprising saw
mill, salt block, dry kilns, and a
large quantity of lumber. The flames
travelled three blocks to the eastward
and cut path two blocks wide. At this
point, the path of the fire broadened and
block after block was swept over with
great rapidity. Thousands of people
rushed about, all engaged in removing
furniture and other household effects
from before the advancing flames. Every
vehicle in the city adapted to the pur-
pose was on the ground and the owners
charged fabulous prices for their service
eS.
At o'clock about thirty blocks had
been burned over, while twenty more
were supplying fresh fuel to the devour-
ing flames. When the chief of the fire
department saw the extent of the dam
age he telegraphed Saginaw, Flint and
Detroit for assistance. Saginaw and
Flint each sent an engine and quantities
of hose. Nearly all West Bay City's
equipment came to the scene and lent
such assistance as lay in the power of the
firemen. With hundreds of streams
playing on the fire, the flames pursued
their course licking up house after
house until at s o'clock upwards of 300
dwellings were destroyed. The confla-
grafton was at that time sweeping to-
wards the eastern limits of the city.
While the majority of the buildings
burned belonged to working people,
many fine residences were consumed.
Two churches, four hotels and about 40
stores are included among the burned
structures.
Atop. m. there were many rumors
afoat concerning people who had per-
ished. So far as positively known, only
one death occurred, that Of woman
who lay sick in house which was de-
stroyed. Before assistance could reach
her, the dwelling was a seething mass of
fire, and the poor creature had to be left to
her fate. Miller and Turner lost about
$15OOO0, mostly covered by insurance.
The entire loss will reach upwards of
$1,O0O,0O0. 1t is impossible to learn to-
night the extent to which the different
parties are insured.
[Bay City is on the Saginaw river,
about 108 miles from Detroit. Its pros.
perity comes mainly from the salt and
lumber trade. 1t has 20 churches, four
or five banks and high school building
which cost S75. .0OO1

HOW 1T HAPPENED.
Particulars of the Collision Which se,,l
the 4AIva to the Bottom.

Boston, July 25.-Steamer Fl. F. Dim
ock which collided with and sunk the
steam yacht Alva on Pollock Rip yester-
day, sustained serious injuries to her
own bow. Her bow plates were
broken in and dented on both sides for
some distance above the water line. In
one place, hole was made clear through
her bow. 1t will take some time to
repair her. The particulars of the
collision are as follows:
The Alva, under the command of Capt.
Henry Morrison, left Bar Harbor at 4
o'clock Saturday evening, bound
for Newport, R. l., having on board the
owner. who had as guests Messrs.
Louis Webb, Winfield Scott White and
Frank Riggs, all of whom are summer
ing at Newport.
Early in the morning a thick fog set in,
and it became so dense that Capt. Morri-
son deemed it imprudent to run further,
as they were then in the track of large
numbers of coasting vessels, and making
Pollock rip lightship, dropped anchor to
wait until the fog should rise.
The owner and his guests were all in
their berths, sleeping soundly, when at a
few minutes past o'clock they were
aroused by heavy crash, accompanied
by the tearing of the plates of their
vessel, indicating the fact that some
other craft had collided with her.
Mr.. William Vanderbilt was first on
deck, closely followed by Mr.. Riggs, and
scene of the widest confusion greeted
their gaze. Looming up through the
darkness could be seen the dark hull of a
hull of large steamer backing through
the effect of the recoil.
The crew of the Alva discovered that
the stem of the other vessel had pepe-
trated the side of their steamer and that
the forward bulkheads had been stove
in.
A steam launch, four row boats and a
naphtha launch were then lowered from
the Alva, which was rapidly sinking, and
the owner and passengers, with the
crew of SO men, were soon af1oat and
rapidly pulling away from their doomed
craft.
Their exit was none too soon, for when
they were about cables length from
their vessel she made a violent heel to
port, and, righting again, plunged down
bows first, and nothing but the three
masts sticking out of the water indicated
the presence of the magnificent ocean
rover they had SO lately deserted.

NEW ENGLAND SUFFERED

But No Fatal Cases of Prostration We're
Reported.
BOSTON, July 25.-This was the most
oppressively hot day in Boston this year,
owing to the almost entire absence of a
breeze. The highest temperature re-
ported by the signal Office was 9so at p.
M, with graduate drop to 7so at mid
night. Notwithstanding the intense
heat of the day, not a single fatal case of
sunstroke has yet been reported from
any point in New England. From 12 to
Is persons, mostly laborers in various
parts of the city, chiefly about the
wharves, succumbed to the heat but
none of the cases were considered dan
gerous. The signal office reports no in
dications of cooler weather for two or
three days. Tonight there is a breeze.
Manchester, N. H., reports tempera-
ture of $50 to 95o with no wind. 1t was
the most uncomfortable day of the year.
At Burlington, VT, from 91o upwards
are the figures given. From all over
New England come similar stories.

PHILADELPHIA, July 25.-At 11.30 a.
m. today, the thermometer at the signal
Office registered 91o. just before noon,
violent thunder storm broke over the
city and in Is minutes the mercury was
driven back to SO. The duration of the
storm was not above 40 minutes but in
that time it did nearly 100000 worth of
damage. The southern section of the
city escaped with a heavy downfall of
rain. A wide swath of demolished and
unroofed houses marked the path of the
storm in the northern section. There
the rain and lightning were accompanied
by fierce wind. At Doth and YORK
streets, row of 25 three story
houses in course of construction
was levelled to the GROUND. The storm
advanced eastward over the city leaving
in in its wake. The greatest fury
was vented in the manufacturing
districts of Kensington and Richmond.
At Clearfield street wharf, the repair
shops of the Philadelphia and Reading
Railroad Company, 400 feet long, 70 feet
wide and 10 feet high were blown over.
The 120 men employed there were eating
their dinner. The wind struck the exs
posed side of the structure and it began
to sway to ana fro. The men had barely
time to get under the trucks of the cars
when, with crash, the building fell in.
SIX men were somewhat cut and bruised
by the flying bricks, but the others es-
capped uninjured. The cars beneath
which they took refuge were reduced al
most to kindling wood. Seventy cars
were in the building. and the loss upon
them and the building is estimated at
$4,000. Nearly SO dwelling houses were
unroofed and partly demolished.
At Manayunk three mills and Is dwell
ing houses were unroofed. After the
storm the mercury and humidity rose
together. At 4 o'clock the thermometer
marked 93o, the highest record of the
summer, and the humidity was 81 per
cent. After that the heat began to abate
and tonight at s o'clock, the thermome-
ter marked 800. Four cases of exhaus-
ton by the heat were reported.

| ton is much improved.
