 New York; Aug. 12.-Hot, hotter, hot test. To-day was the hottest of this terrific hot spell.
 The sun kept up It's deadly work of the past week. By the time 1t shone over the tops of the great sky-scraping buildings fourteen more names were added to the death roll, A few of these were cases of persons who were pros trated by the heat yesterday and died In the night,
 At. o'clock the police had reported thirty three deaths and sixty eight prostrations.
 Yesterday the death roll from the heat was the largest since the hot wave settled over the city and surrounding country a week ago. The record of the metropolitan district up to midnight showed Al deaths and 492 cases of pros tration Of the deaths sixty-flve oc- cured in this city and twenty-one in Brooklyn.

From this table it Is seen in this city and vicinity BIT deaths were re ported in seven days. The number of prostrations that have occurred in the same time reached over HOO.
 The department of public works in accordance with the plan of Commis- sioner Collis, flooded the streets on the east side again last night, and again thousands on thousands of children who had sweltered all day in the tor rid streets, found pleasure and relief in the cool water. This idea of sending cooling stream of water over the hot pavements in the most crowded part of the city has proved an excellent one, The temperature is visibly affected. And the temperature in the crowded tenement districts where little of the breezes circulates, is far higher than in other places.
 The upper part of the city is very quiet in these scorching days. The blinds are drawn in all the houses, the streets are almost deserted. It is too hot for man or beast to work unless it is. absolutely necessary. and every man who can and every beast that can seeks a cool, shaded spot and stays there.
 Deaths from Heat
 These deaths from the effects of the heat were reported by tine police to- day:
 Michael Sheridan, 25 years old, of 2S2 East Ninety sixth street, at his home,
