n HOT DAY IN THE WEST.
Sixteen People Died in Chicago
The Hottest Night Ever
Known Therc-Pris-
oners Go Insane.

Chicago, July 9.-Of all the
hot days that have made life
burden since the warm weather of
1897 began, this was the worst.
There were more deaths of human
beings and of animals, and the
number of prostrations was great
er than upon any other day of the
long hot spell that has hung over
Chicago. Sixteen people are dead
from the heat, two are insane, and
out of a large number of prostra-
tions, ten cases are critical.
Out in the Bridewell, where
seven prisoners went insane yes
tcrday, because of the heat, others
suffered the same fate today.
Over 100 horses died in the
streets.
Sixteen hundred men and bows
were temporarily thrown out of
employment at the Pullman shops,
owing to the intense heat. The
managers found it necessary to
close the works ut noon and send
the workmcn home.
