Several conpiainants who reside in the
neIghborhood of the smallpox hospital
erected by tie corporation of Charles
Town made application to Judge Faux
ner for an injunction to restrain the cor
poration authorities from maintaining the
hospital in its present location, the bill for
injunction alleging that its proximity to
their residences made it injurious and
dangerous to the health of the com
claimants. The evidence showed that the
hospital is over 200 yards, the distance
recommended by the rule issued by the
United States Board of Health as being
safe, from the nearest residence. After
examining the bill and the evidence Judge
Faulkner refused the injunction.

DEATHS FROM HEAT
NEW YORK'S RECORD YESTERDAY
WAS THIRTY-THREE.
WORST HOT SPELL FOR YEARS.
MANY SOUGHT RELIEF FROM THE
SUFFERING IN VAIN.

Thirty Died From Prostrations and
Three Killed by Falling From
Fire Escapes-ThOusands Hurried
to the Seashore, and Many Left
the City AltOgether-SOme of the
Resorts Little Cooler Than the
City-Many Animals Died.
New York, Aug. 11.-Death reaped a
harvest to-day from New York's humid
ity.
At least 80 persons died in this city and
vicinity, thirty of them from prostra ions
and three from falling from fire escapes
on which they had crowded to get some
relief from the torturing heat
All in all it is the hottest continuous
weather New York has had. Foreca ster
Emery said to-day that it surpassed in
the aggregate the record of the 1896 hot
spell.
The weather bureau thermometer reach
ed 95 at , p. m. and registered the same
figures an hour later. This is many de-
grees cooler than the temperature the
people were subjected to on the street.
Thousands hurried to the nearest cars
and boats for the seashore. Then there
were many who began their vacations and
the trains and steamboats, were filled rap
idly. The sound steamers had sold out
all their berths early in the day, and to-
night many passengers were forced to
sleep on mattresses strewed in the cabins
The streets leading to a cooling exile
from New York were crowded and ex-
pressmen were overwhelmed with bag
gage. 1t was the busiest Saturday of the
season.
The recreation piers We're packed, but
East River pier said that the thermometer
there had registered 102 during the day
and that at 1880 in the evening it was 80.
Not a rustic of a breeze could be detect
ed.
The greatest sufferers we're the little
ones, and the reports from the Bellevue
dispensary told of the struggle for life
among the poor.
The outdoor poor department was over
taxed also, there being twenty-five appli-
cations a day from mothers to have their
children taken to Randall's Island.
The suffering among animals was plain
ly evident Many horses fell. some to
die, others to stagger to their feet and
go weakly on. Fire Chief Croker's or
ders that hose should be on tap in front
of all fire engine houses saved many
horses from sunstroke.
The Savannah morning news., 1900-08-12
ALLIES ARE STILL MOVING.
Preparations Were Made for an Ad-
vance on Aug. to Tsai Tsun,
Five Miles From Yang Tsun,

London, Aug. u, A a. m.-The only news
last night relative 70 the advance on Pc
kin was found in belated dispatch from
Toxic. of Aug. g. according to which,
after the capture of Yang Tsun on Aug.
6, it was arranged that two battalions
of Japanese infantry, a squadron of cav
airy, battery of mounted artillery, and
a company of engineers, should march on
Aug T. in advance of the main body of
allies and occupy Tsai Tsun, five miles
north of Yang Tsun.
Other dispatches merely repeat the de-
tails of the capture of Yang Tsun. One
cable message, however. credits the En-
peror of Corea with giving permission for
the laying of a cable between Taku and
Chemuipo.
Yokohama dispatch of date of Aug.
II, says that she Corean government has
consented to the dispatch of Japanese
viding for the emergencies growing out
of the Chinese trouble.
Various rumors, having their origin in
Chinese sources, are floating around
Shanghai. One of these rumors is to the
effect that Prince Tuan and his followers
are preparing to leave Pekin in case the
allies should succeed in getting near the
capital
Reports have been received in London
to the effect that the hospital ship Maine
has arrived at Colombo.
Speaking at Primrose League demon
stration at Eagles Cliff, Lord London
derry expressed a hope that when the
allies reach Pekin the first step will be
the punishment. not as in the past, of a
few subordinates. but of the mandarins
and others high in authority. There, he
was of the opinion. all vengeance ought
to end.
