prieve and pardon. Millions thanked God
out of their hearts.
; The day had been oppressive. Man and
beast had fallen helpless rs the mercury
rose steadily, and many feared in mid
afternoon that the awfulness of Monday
night might have succession not less ter
rible. At o'clock in the afternoon the
mercury was but / degree below the
maximum registration of twenty-four
hours before. At it was 91 degrees. At
q 1t had peevishly fallen to 80 degrees.
There seemed small voice for thanksgiv-
ing. Every hour had brought to the
health department fresh lists of stricken
people, new tales of the dead, added noti-
fications that poor beasts had dropped In
harness and demanded burial. Then the
bounty of the sky and the west wind pull
ed its purse strings wide and men and
women breathed again. The slaughter
was given pause. This is the record of
the conqueror for the hottest three days:

RUIN LEFT by WIND.
Michigan, Illinois, Ohio, Indiana an
Iowa Swept by Storms.

Michigan, Illinois, Ohio, Indiana and
Iowa Swept by Storms.
Michigan had a severe tussle with a
storm Sunday night and Monday. A
veritable cloudburst visited Ionia. One
storm struck the city at IL o'clock and
q second came two hours later. Com
plete prostration of telegraph and tele-
phone wires resulted. No human victims
were claimed in the city, but the prop
erty damage will reach fully $4,000. In
the agricultural districts the storm seems
TO have been equally disastrous. From
nearly every direction come reports of
buildings blown down or unroofed, while
hundreds Of acres of fruit trees are torn
up or broken down and the fruit de-
stroyed. Corn is fat on the ground from
the effect of the rain, hail and wind, while
miles of fence will have to be rebuilt. The
damage to the rural districts will aggre-
gate many thousands of dollars. Loss
Of live stock especially promises to reach
an astonishingly high figure. A loss Of
100000 was occasioned by terrific wind
which swept over Saginaw early Monday
morning, but no human victims were
claimed The storm wns accompanied by
terrific lightning and deluge of water.
In some sections Of Iowa the wind al
most amounted to a tornado. Immense
trees were blown down. houses moved off
their foundations and barns and outbuild-
ings dismantled. Panic-stricken people
rushed for caves. cellars and other places
of refuge. At Snndusky, o.. Jay Leon

by lightning while operating a saw and
instantly killed.
At Rockford, ILL.,, the State Street Bap-
list Church was struck and seriously
damaged and several farmers in the
neighborhood lost barns and live stock
by flames due TO lightning. Many houses
had their roofs demolished, and several
families were rendered unconscious by

the run was ended. He slowed down,
then, seeing his mistake, again spurted.
But he had lost three seconds.
The train covered the ground In some
thing better than sixty-mile gait, but
the rider came short just sufficiently to
miss by three seconds his wager to cover
the mile In one minute. However, he
demonstrated the fact that bicycle can
oe put over ground n gnat deal faster
than anyone has ever before thought of
doing, and thereby earned the laudation
of wheeling enthusiasts everywhere. A
great cheer went up from the throng
when the result was announced. The
first half mile was covered at the rate of
siXty-two miles an hour

ly appointed governor, Abdullah Pasha,
has failed hitherto, IL he has seriously
endeavored, to check these savage prac-
tees, and five European consuls at Canea
have jointly protested against them.
1t Is admitted, on the other hand, that
murders and other outrages have been
perpetrated by some bands Of Greek insur-
gents belonging to a rude highland race,
and not subject to any discipline or mill
tary command. The state Of affairs is
very different in some districts, and at one
end or side OF the island from that which
prevails at another. In the town Of Ca
nea, a well frequented port on the north
coast, n Mussulman mob supported by the
Turkish soldiers, rioted and committed
great excesses, killing the ''kavasses" or
chief guards Of the Russian and Greek
consuls.

Worst Since 1902.

New York city has not had such a sue
cession OF hot days and such lists of pros
trations by the heat since 1892. In July
OF that year the official thermometer reg
istered on the 25th, "a; Goth, 961h; 9th,
923a: 2Sth, 94; 29th, 9511Ia, and fell on the
3Oth to Oh. The humidity was high as
well as the heat, and the published list
Of prostrations and fatal sunstrokes rose
to thirty-one deaths and ninety-two pros
trations In New York and Brooklyn on
the 18th, and sixty-five deaths and 133
prostrations on the Goth. The feverish
efforts Of those who live in narrow and
airless rooms to get sleep caused more
than the usual number of persons to roll
from roofs and fall from the balconies Of
fire escapes.
The hottest day of the present protract-
ed spell Of fierce heat, and the most un-
bearable Of all this summer, fell upon
Philadelphia beginning at midnight Sat
urday, and bringing death to twenty-four
persons and prostrations to an unusually
large number. Men and women dropped
exhausted in the streets and a few died
there before help could reach them. 9th
ers were found dead in their beds, and
still others succumbed while under treat
ment in the wards of the various hos
pitals- Philadelphia has felt nothing like
the present spell since July, 1892, when
for seven days humanity sweltered and
sickened under temperature that fuctu-
ated between 90 and lO2 degrees.
Unabated heat dealt death to Chica-
gonns Sunday. Prostrations despite the
quiet Of the day, were reported in every
quarter of the city. Two hours Of lake
breeze in the morning grappled with the
rising temperature and choked 1t down
until the afternoon, when 1t arose to 93,
the maximum for the day. Had 1t not
been for this the prostrutions earlier in
the day must have been much greater.
At midnight nineteen deaths from heat
had been reported to the health depart
ment- The police cared for 61 cases OF
prostration, II of them resulting fatally.
Most Of the cases were reported In the
afternoon. The police ambulances were
taxed to their utmost to respond to the
unusual number of calls which were made
upon them and the attendants at the hos
pitals had their hands full preparing ice
congresses and other remedies necessary
In caring for their patients. The deaths
due to sunstroke reported to the health
department for four days are as follows:
Thursday ....... 4 Sunday ....... ID
friday .--------
Saturday .....S 8 Total for 4 days.36
For the entire corresponding week last
year but one fatal case of sunstroke was
reported The high death rate last week
is charged by officials of the health de-
partment directly to the terrific heat and
the high degree of humidity in the atmos-
phere 1t Is much greater than last year 8
record and confirms the belief Of the de-
partment that for years Chicago has not
suffered 30 greatly from the heat. The
records for last week and the correspond
ing week in 1895 arc compared as follows:

HE STRIKE AT ISHKOODA Miners Said to Be Holding &c.,
 cret Meetings AND TROUBLE IS BREWING Extra Tonnage and the CommIssary Cheek
 System the Basis of the
 Disturbance.

The latest from the Ishkooda strike is that the strikers complain of excessive weights of the tons of ore required at their hands and that the check system operates wrongfully against them. They also say the prices charged for goods at the commissary is an extortion. The company deny the extra weight charge and also that there is any extortion in the prices charged for goods.
 No demonstrations have been made and simply idlers among the miners is all that indicates that any trouble at all ex- ists.
 It was rumored on the streets last night that the miners were holding secret sessions and that serious trouble may re- suit at any moment; that new men have been warned not to work, and if they persist in working the penalty will be forth coming and at an hour least ex- pected. Every movement of the deputies is being watched, and the organization is perfect. While nothing serious is con- templated there appears to be more blood on the moon than the officials at the mines and the officers of the law have cared to give out

WHERE IS PRUDENTIAL {?
A WelI-Known New York Man Suddenly Disappers-Crooked Doing Laid at
 the Missing Mans Door.

New York, July 11.-Julius Freidenthal, a well known merchant, who has been in business for the past thirty-five years, part of the time in this city and at other times in Texas, Mexico and New Mexico, has left this city, creditors say heavily in debt, and his whereabouts are un- known and creditors are very anxious to learn what has become of him. Twelve banks in this city hold his paper for large amount and it is estimated that his liabilities, individually and as an indorser will reach s50O,00O, principal ly to banks and bankers in this city. He stood very well in banks here. Some of his creditors think he has gone to Flu rope to join his family, who went there some months ago. Before going away MT. Freidenthal disposed of his assets, creditors say. He owned a magnificent residence at Englewood, N. J., valued at SIS, ,000, but this has been transferred, 1t is said, to Brewer Katz of Paterson, N. J., for $1. He is relative of MT. Freid- enthal.
 Three years ago MT. Freidenthal be- came president of the Columbia Type writer Manufacturing company of this city, with @ capital stock of $500, ,000, and was regarded as having the controlling interest in the company and was it's financier. He has disposed of his inter- est in the company and was succeeded as president few weeks ago by MT. Charles Lezinsky, who is a relative of Mir. Freidenthal. In obtaining loans from the banks MT. Freidenthal put up stock of the company as collateral secur- ity for loans. The company has offices at No. POP Broadway and 37 West Six teenth street. It was stated by employees that the company is not affected by MT. Freidenthals individual affairs and bus mess Is going on as usual
 Julius Freidenthal was in business un- der the style of J. Freidenthal & Go. at Fl Paso and Las Cruces, New Mexico, from 1861 to 1882, having an office in this city, and about twenty years ago moved his residence to this city. In 1883 his firm gave up business'at Fl Paso and Las Cruces to son and nephew, who have since carried it on under the style of l.. B. Freidenthal & Go. The partners were Ludwig B. and Samuel J. Freidenthal In the trade, however, Julius Freidenthal was looked upon as the packer of the concern, and he acted for them here as buyer under the firm style of J. Freiden- thai They did general merchandise business It was learned today that l.. B. Freidenthal had sold out the business at Fl Paso to Katz Bros.
 Julius Freidenthal claimed to be worth from s500000 to $700,000 within the past two years.
 As near as the banks could learn his liabilities would reach at least $S00oO0, but portion of this Is secured by col lateral which in some instances was con sidered worth more than the loans made upon it.
