companied the fleet 10 Boring sea in that
eventual year. has gotten himself into
trouble in San Francisco. Among his ship

were suppressed as quickly as possible.
and Fleetwood and his star plays became
only a memory. Other stories Of earlier
trouble were also discussed. but IN time
were forgotten. A San Francisco paper
says:
"Ransome Fleetwood, young man of
prepossessing appearance, was convicted
in Judge Wallace's court yesterday or for

MANY HEAT VICTIMS.

Ths Death List In New York, Chicago and
st. Louis Reaches an appalling Figure.
NEW YORK, Aug, THE number OF
deaths caused by the heat in Greater
New York is 1873, and additional vic
Tins are being reported hourly. The
prostrations are almost innumerable
and no accurate statement Of them can
be made. Ambulances and patrol
wagons have been running about all
day, the sound Of their gong becoming
familiar sound Street car horses
have dropped in their tracks by scores.
Out Of door work has been largely sus-
pended and many factories are tempo
rarilY closed.
THE DEATHS AT CHICAGO.
CHICAGO, aug. lit began to grow
uncomfortsbly warm here yesterday
at early dawn, and as the blazing sun
pushed its way over Lake Michigan the
intensity of the heat was increased
hour by hour at the rate of geometrical
progression. The city ambulances and
patrol wagons from the police stations
had been kept on the run all night
long, bearing victims of the heat to
the hospitals. Yesterday morning men
walked through the streets without
coat or vest and painted and sweltered
for want of fresh, cooling air. Pros
trations from heat began to be report
ed as early as eight o'clock. Animals
overcome by the heat lay dead in al
most every ward in town. They were
so numerous that the garbage men
could not keep the streets clear Of
them. The latest reports show that
the total list of victims of heat pros
trations Sunday numbered 65. Of
these % are dead, ten expected to die
and three driven insane by the heat.
Of the three driven insane by the heat,
one ended his existence with poison
and another attempted to slash his
throat with razor.
EIGHTY-FIVE DEATHS AT ST. LOUIS.
ST.. LOUIS, Aug. 1.-THE deaths inthis
city due directly to heatsiuce August,
numbered S. Saturday last was the
worst day yet. % deaths from that
cause having occurred. A singular
fact is noted that fully four-ifths of
these deaths have been adults, but
very few Of them women. Most of the
heat victims have been among the la
boring classes and at least two-thirds
of the fatalities have been among those
addicted to drink.
SIXTEEN DEATHS AT OWEEsBoRO.
0WENsBORo, KY, Aug, 11-Sixteen
deaths from various causes, all super
induced by excessive heat, occurred
