"These dollars in the particulars I

CRANSTON.

As the train from Providence. due in
Cranstcn 6:43 p. m. was passing under
"Bull Town" bridge yesterday, the en-
gine sent forth a shrill whistle. At that
time there happened to be three ladies and
a gentleman driving across the bridge in a
carriage. The horse became crazed with
fright and dashed madly down Nara
gsnsett avenue toward the park. By the
most strenuous efforts on the part OF
the plucky driver, control OF the horse
was gained after a mad and dangerous
dash of half mile. 1t would seem to
be lack of good judgment that woulo
allie ow q person TO blow a whistle i'm
mediately under q much Travelled high
way.
John Smith was tried in police court
this morning on the charge of cruelty TO

How to Treat Cases Re-
SuIting From Heat.
Heat PrOstratiOn and Sun
Strokes Are Different.
One Requires Warmth ard the Other
Cold Applications.

Heat exhaustion and sunstroke are two
forms OF emergency cases in which
prompt aid may be the direct cause OF
saving life. During the past few days
men have fallen in the streets overcome
by the heat, sympathetic crowds have
gathered round, and ere The ambulance
had arrived the.patient had breathed his
last, while not hand capable OF coping
with the emergency was raised.
Any one who has been In sucn a gather
ing reslizes the feeling OF helplessness
the onlooker experiences owing to his
own ignorance. 1t is well to know just
what should be done In such cases, and
10 begin at the beginning 1t should be
understood that heat prostration must
not be confounded with sunstroke, the
symptoms and treatment differing radi-
oally one from the other. The symptoms OF
heat prostration or heat exhaustion are
cold and clammy skin with sub-normal
temperature and weak pulse. The treat
ment, which should be rendered at the
earliest possible moment, is to carry the
patient out of the sun, then place him in
a hot batn or wrap him in hot fiannes
and give such stimulants as alcohol. In
a case OF sunstroke or thermic fever, TIE
symptoms show the patients skin to be
exceedingly hot and dry, with the face
flushed or of a blush tinge, with rapid
pulsation and rapid respiration. The
treatment for this, as in the other case,
is first TO remove the patient from the
sun, place an ice cap on the head, rub
the booy with ice. pour ice water over
him and pack Ice around the body, In
fact do everything to counteract the ex-
cessive heat to which the body has been
subjected.
A new method of treating thermic
fever patients al the Rhode Island Hos
pital is by rectal enemas OF ice water.
This has proven very successful and has
reduced the temperature from 110 to 50
2-5 degrees in less than half an hour.
One OF the marked peculiarities of
cases at the hospital during the present
hot weather spell is that convulsions
have invariably followed the reduction OF
the temperature.
AS sequence Of sunstroke or heat, ex-
hausted patients who recover are gene
rally afflicted with an excruoiating head
ache during the heated term that is be-
yond the aid Of the physicians

Arrangements For Giving II Hung
Chang Great Reception.
Washington, Aug. i2.-Arrangements
are progressing for the reception Of Ii
Hung Chang, when he arrives in this
country on the 2Sth inst. The Chinese
minister and his suite will go to New
York to receive the earl. by which title
Ii Hung Chang is known among his
countrymen of rank. Ex-Secretary John
w. Foster will take part In the recep-
tion. Besides the visits TO Washington
and PHILADELPHIA, which LII will make,
strong efforts are being made TO have
his trip extend to Boston, where n recep-
tton will be given him. The first ar
rangements were such as TO make the
Boston visit impossible, but IL Is felt
among the officials here that after ar
rival some changes will be made, so as
10 permit the Boston trip, General
Miles and others, representing various
branches Of the government, will confer
with the Chinese minister here as TO the
arrangements for the reception. 1t is
probable an officer OF the army and one
from the navy viii be assigned to meet
the Chinese statesman and accompany
him on his trip. IL is probable also that
a detail of troops from Governors isl.
aud will take part In the reception at
New York, and that a troop OF cavalry
from Fort Meyer will assist in the ex-
srcises here.
