New Workers. have been granted some
what of respite of suffering from heat
to-day. The record breaking scorch-
demons OF yesterday and the day before
were not abroad this morning, and at
o'clock the thermometer registered u
degrees, which was just five notches
lower than the record for yesterday at
the same nour.
Notwithstanding this comparatively
low temperature however there was
enough caloric standing around to make
people very uncomfortable and to justify
the fear that there would continue to be
many prostrations and even deaths from
heat.
Weather Prophet ELIAS Dunn seemed
at peace with the whole world when he
entered his cerie on the roof of the
Equitable building this morning.

steamer Saale met AN immense iceberg
