SIZZLING HEAT CONTINUES.
A HUNDRED FATAL SUN
STROKES REPORTED IN
GREATER NEW YORK.
DEATHS BEING REPORTED HOURLY.
The Ambulance Wagons Are Kept Busy.
No Relief by Day or Night-Strect
Car Horses Topple Over by
the Scores


by heat in Greater New York today is
about 100 and additions are being report
ed hourly. The prostrations are almost
innumerable and no accurate estimate
can he made. Patrol wagons have been
running all day, the clamor of their gongs
becoming familiar sound. Street car
horses have dropped on the tracks by the
score. Out of door work has. been large
ly suspended and many factories are tenn
porarily closed. Last night was the hot
test of the summer, the climax of the
present torrid SPELL and one of the hottest
known in this city for years. Morning
brought no relief, and at s Il. N. the
thermometer stood ) degrees higher than
at the same hour Sunday, and as the hui
nudity was less than on the preceding
day, there was less discomfort, but as
the day grew the weather grew warmer.
At | p. IN. there were thermometers that
marked 104 in the shade. Suffering has
been most intense in the tenement sec
tons. In these sections the charitable
organization have had their hands full,
many infants and children succumbing to
sunstroke. The hospitals were obliged
to call on the police department to aid
them in responding to calls. as their am
balances could not cope with the number
of cases reported. Many other wagons
were pressed into use to carry away dead
and disabled animals.
AT midnight there was no relief from
the strain from the past week, and on
the roofs of many dwellings people are
trying to get rest.
