is reduced to seven and the prOstra-

None of the factories that suspend
ed work on account of the heat have
resumed, however, and several were
added to the list Of the idle to-day.

NEW YORK, Aug. I'm five days

a long one, and when it is told there

those who had a narrow escape from

SO great was the suffering yesterday
that the hospitals ceased TO keep rec
ord of the cases treated.
The largest number Of calls ever re-
ceived at Bellevue Hospital in twenty
four hours was in 1879, and that num-

and answered in the preceding four

pital in the afternoon and placed in
the receiving room to serve as attend

workhouse men, under the direction
OF hospital attendants, took them from
the ambulances, removed their cloth

guard at the door to prevent intrusion of
any KIND In the few words that he did
sreak to callers, MIR. Bryan asserted his un-
shaken confidence in the success Of his
cause. and he has never since the begin
