MANY DEAD AT CHICAGO.
TOTAL OF HEAT VICTIMS THERE
INCREASED TO EXTENT OF
THIRTY-FIVE.
NO RELIEF is YET IN PROSPECT.
On Wednesday, at the Earliest, the
TOrrid Wave May Come to an
End.

of deaths caused by the heat in greater
New York today was about one hun
dred, and additional victims are being
reported hourly. The prostrations are
almost innumerable and no accurate
statement of them can be made. Am
balances and patrol wagons have been
running about all day, the clamor Of
the gongs becoming familiar sound.
Street car horses have dropped in the
track by scores. Out of door work
has been largely suspended and many
factories are temporarily closed.
Last night was the hottest of the
summer, the climax of the present
torrid spell and one Of the hottest
known in the city for years. Morning
brought no relief and at a. M, the
thermometer stood five degrees higher
than at the same hour Sunday, but as
the humidity was less intense than on
the preceding day there was less dis
comfort in atmosphere. Early in the
morning there was but fifty per cent
OF humidity, which is rather below the
normal.
Street temperatures taken in the
shade at a point near the center of
the city were: SO at 9 a. M, 81 at IL;
~ at p. M, 102 at 4; at it had fallen
to 92 and further dropped to 80 at 9
p. m.
Suffering has been most intense in
the tenement regions, where poor
people are unable to get breath
ing space. In these sections
charitable organizations have had
their hands full, many infants
and children succumbing to sun
stroke. The hospitals were compelled
to call on the police department in re-
spending to calls, as their ambulances
could not cope with the number of
cases reported. So police patrol wag-
ons were pressed into service to carry
neat victims to the hospitals. Many
other wagons were used to carry away
oead and disabled animals. At mid
night there was no relief from the
strain from the past week and on
thousands of roofs city dwellers were
trying to get sleep. Following Is a re-
