A LONG SPELL OF HEAT.
Mercury Keeps Dancing Around in the
High NiletieS.

Last Night a Corker-The Humidity
High and the Heat Intense-A
Breeze Makes the Latter Part of the
Night Endurable-Five Days of Con-
tinued High Temperature and no
Signs Of Let Up Yet.
Last night broke the record for hot, I'M
comfortable nights. The humidity was
high. There was not a breath of air
stirring and the heat was intense and
suffocating. The afternoon was hot and
murky. There was hardly suspicion of
breeze and what there was came from
the west and was like simeon
AT 8 o'clock the mercury reached its
highest point-96'. 1t remained there
for some time, and did not fall
as rapidly as it has heretofore.
The temperature for the last week has
averaged go, the longest spell of hot
weather Savannah has experienced in
MANY years. Only one day in week has
6 Inc hlehest temperature been less than
80 and that was last Sunday when the
maximum was go.
NUMBER OF PRosTRATIoNs.
A number of cases of prostration were
reported yesterday. A colored laborer on
the lower wharf succumbed TO the heat
and was taken to his home. A roofer at
work in the southern part of the city was
stricken while at work and came near
dropping from the building. He was
caught by a fellow workman just as he
succumbed and was lifted to the ground.
Work in many instances was suspended
during the hottest part of the afternoon.
The laborers on the new public build
ing felt the heat severely. The stone cut
ters were under shed which had Just
been finished, and were not exposed to the
suns rays, but those who were IN the ex-
cavation worked slowly to keep from
being overcome. All of the men were
closely watched by the foremen.
LITTLE WORK ON THE FARMS.
In the country the heat was equally as
severe as it was in the city. The CON
victs caught it the worst, and were
worked slowly There was very little
done on the farms during the afternoon
while The temperature was at high-water
mark.
Last nights indications did net give
any hope of let up. The indications at
midnight were for a continuation of the
high temperature with west and north
west winds. Showers, with thunder
storms, are predicted for this morning
early. They may cool the atmosphere
some.

TANGLED MATRIMONY
Mrs Johnston Makes Bigamy a
Plea for Dissolving One Tie.
Married Bogert While Drunk, A.
though Then Unger's Wife.
Since Then She Has Welded John
ston Whom Bogert Is Suing.

Judge Gildersleeve, of the Superior
Court, to-day tried the suit brought by
Mrs Kate Johnston, of Nyack, to annul
q marriage she entered into with Will
lam G. Bogert, on Aug. 81. 1887, on the
ground that she had another husband
living at the time of the marriage.
The first husbands name was Henry
Unger, to whom she was married in
1876, but with whom she had not lived
for several years prior to her marriage
to Bogert. After her separation from
Unger she lived with her parents in
West Fourth street.
On the witness-stand Mrs Johnston,
who has since her marriage to Bogert
married a florist named John Johnston,
testified that she was intoxicated at the
time she married Bogert and that he
knew of her former marriage to Unger;
She said that on the evening OF the
Bogert and some of his friends. but had
no Intention of marrying him. She ad-
mitted that after the evening of the
marriage she lived with BoSert fSr about
rage until Bogert told her of It, at
with him.
In her complaint Mrs. Johnston had
made no mention of being intoXicated
when married to Bogert, and her counsel
asked to be allowed to amend the COM
plant. Judge GiidersleeNe denied the
motion and ordered the testimony re-
garding the intoXication stricken from
the record of the trial. Bogerts counsel
argued that Mrs. Johnston could have no
standing In court, because she did not
come in with clean hands. The lawyer
said that II any action for annulment OF
marriage was allowable II should be
Wrought by Bogert', who did not know OF
her former martial relations with tnger.
He did know 1t! He did know it!'
shouted Mrs. Johnston, and her female
friends in the courtroom nodded their
heads and said to each other loud enough
to be heard, That's right"
The defendants counsel offered to put
Bogert on the stand to allow him TO
testify that he did not know of the
former marriage when he married the
plaintiff.
Judge Gildersleeve refused to allow
Bogert to be put on the stand, as he
said the only question for him to deter
mine was whether, after marrying a sec
ond time with her first husband living,
Mrs. tombstone could come into court and
whether Bogert knew II or not.
After living with Bogert a year and
separating from him, the plaintiff began
an action for divorce from her first
husband, Unger, which she secured
about two years ago. She Immediately
married her present husband. Johnston.
1t Is alleged that in 1889 the plaintiff
was arrested for bigamy, because of heI
marriage to Bogert, and that she pleaded
guilty. Sentence was suspended
Judge Gildersleeve reserved decision.
