YES! IT WAS HOT.

Hottest Day of '92 Thus Far-One
 More Like 1t To-day-COoler To-
 morrow, Perhaps - Life About
 Town Yesterday and at the Sea-
 shore.
 Yes, everybody sweltered yesterday. The appeared to be on rampage yesterday. Everybody looked for cool place in vain. Even at the seashore the bright sands glistened in the heat of the sun, and the faint breezes from of the water seemed laden with more heat. The town pump handles were yanked until it seemed as if the pump we'll supply must get exhausted. The soda fountains fizzed at remarkable rate. The foe cream saloons in the evening were densely packed with sweltering humanity. At Snow's on Chapel street over one hundred people were at one time seeking to cool of by introducing cooling ice cream into their heated organisms and trying thereby to benefit their protoplas- mic tendencies and reduce the calorio. Down at Savin Rock a multitude sought consolation and comfort in 8 similar way, hundreds of whom were at Putnam's. In the evening there was quite cooling breeze at the Rock. The city people began yesterday to think in earnest of escaping to the cooler regions up north. A report of @ cold wave from Manitoba would have brought cheer to millions of people. Signal Officer Cox announced that he could not in truth and veracity Sam promise any cooler weather for to-day. but he was inclined to think we might have perceptible abatement of the heat for the next day. The weather yesterday here in town was like the hot weather of Florida. At Trefry's drug store up State street. where the sun had had some effect upon it, the thermometer on the door jamb under the awning record ed 92 at 6 o'clock last evening. At Dr. Bishops, in a trihe cooler location ir front of the store, the thermometer touch ! ed 90 in the hottest part of the day.

 found life burden and trade knocked ou
 by the hot weather and did not even al

 republican party. The democratic poi

 and engaged in no heated controversie
 neither at the city hall nor around tn
 corner. In fact it was too hot for th
 ward politicians to properly enjoy war
 politics.
