NEW YORK. Sept 5.--The bare state
ment that SO persons died within the
AS hours closing at midnight last

alone from the effects Of the awful
heat, while scores were prostrated,
shows more accurately and more vivid
ly the suffering that has been caused
by the four days Of devastating high
temperatures under which the city and
the country have been suffering than
any recital Of the lofty attitudes reach
ed by the thermometer. There were
many deaths in Brooklyn, too, which
could be traced to the heat, and In
Manhattan there doubtless were many
more to which the terrible weather con-
tributed.
Some OF those who were stricken died
where they fell before help could reach
them. Others died in ambulances on
the way TO the hospitals. 1t was ter.
rible day for the hospital surgeons ant
