THROUGH The STATE.

New Jersey sweltered yesterday under
a burning sun which rushed the mercury
up to points between 95 and 104 in vari-
Gus parts of the State. Hackensack
reached 102 in the shade on a standard
ized thermometer and the clinical ther-
mometers of doctors confirmed the
record, but Trenton went two points bet
ter on a similar thermometer.
In the towns of East New Jersey near
the Hudson River, ten persons We're
killed. The temperature from Trenton to
Jersey City was the highest ever recorded
in late June or early July. In Trenton
the maximum was 104; Hobolxen, 104; New
ark, 1o2; Hackensack, 102, and Jersey City,
1O2. While the death list was small, It
was as large, in proportion, as that re-
corded in New York with its vast popu-
lation.

quarters at Now Brunswick, where the

believe the feat possible, or to be con-

DIED OF HEAT.
Man Found His Wife's Body
and Ran, Crazed
Through Streets.
FOUND. TORN AND BLEEDING
Finn Was Taken to the Hos
pital Where He
Expired.

Crazed by the sight of his wife's life
less body resting on the sill of a window
at their home, No. 70 Palsade avenue,
early last evening, John Finn, long
shoreman 46 years of age ran almost
naked through the streets of the lower
Hudson City section and finally fell ex-
hausted from the intense heat at the corr
ner of Newark and Palisade avenue The
ambulance was summoned and he was re-
moved to the City Hospital where he died
few hours later.
AT $50 o'clock-about an hour after The
occurrence-Michael Griffen, owner of the
house in which Finn and his wife oceu-
pied apartments on the third floor, no.
ticed a crowd of people gazing at an
open window on the sill of which the body
of a stout woman rested. The face which
was turned toward the crowd in the street
below, was almost black and the eyes
glared with the CHASTITY stare of DEATH
Griffen ran upstairs to the apartments
occupied by the Firms and drew the dead
body into the room. The police were no.
titled and the unfortunate woman was
removed to the morgue where the at
tendants declared that death must have
occurred several hours before.
Exactly what transpired when Finn
reached home and found his wifes dead
body will never be known. The couple
had no children and lived alone. They
had some trouble recently and last We'd
nesday Finn was before Police Justice
Murphy on a charge of disorderly conduct.
He was discharged and dispossess proceed
ings were begun by the landlord against
his tenants.
From the fact that Finn was clad only
in his undershirt when he was picked up
bleeding and unconscious, it is believed
that when he returned from work he
started to undress to obtain relief from
the excessive heat. He saw his wife lean
ing out of the window with a fan grasped
tightly in her hand and thought that she
had dropped asleep while seeking relief
from the intense heat. Finally he sought
to awaken her and then discovered that
she was dead. The unfortunate woman's
demise was evidently caused by heart fail
ure. superinduced by the heat.
Mrs Finn was forty years of age. She
had been married eighteen years.
When Finn was picked up il was found
that he had sustained severe cuts as a
result Of falling down in his mad flight
through the streets and vacant lots in the
neighborhood. His bare feet were badly
cut by the sharp stones and there was
an ugly cut in his forehead.

THIEVES At FIRE.
People Who Looted Allen
hurst Guests Being
Hunted.
Especial to .iThe Jersey city News."1

ALLENHURST, July 2, 1901.-Detectives
here are today trying to run down the
looters who. when the beautiful Allenhurst
Inn was destroyed by fire last night, COM
mitted many depredations. Bureaus,
boxes, trunks and baggage of all descrip-
tions had been carried from the hotel and
the nearby cottages during the fire and
they lay around in great confusion. The
looters, many of them well dressed and
apparently guests at hotels along the
shore, opened and searched bureaus and
baggage and took whatever of value they
could lay hands on and easily conceal
Threats are heard today on all sides, and
if any of the looters are captured they
may be roughly handled.
The fire, which consumed the hotel and
two of the inn cottages with a loss of
more than s175,OOO. caused great excite
ment among the 1870 guests of the hotel.
About 160 of them were at dinner in the
large dining room when the cry of "Firer'
was raised, and a panic followed.
Men and women made a dash for the
lawn in the first moment of excitement
Then, seing that they might save some
of their valuables, many ran back to the
rooms.
The fire, which was probably caused by
the explosion of can of gasoline in the
servants quarters, in a building adjoin-
ing the hotel, spread with great rapidity.
In a few minutes the lawn was covered
with trunks, satchels and baggage of all
a-brac and furnishings taken from the
A.. I
alarm brought the fire departments of
Asbury Park, Ocean Grove and Elberon
to the scene
The flames were soon towering above
the tall chimney of the bakeshop of the
hotel and sweeping through the halls
and corridors. In the midst of the ex-
citement and confusion some one shouted
that two women were on the second
floor. They were seen at a window of
their room where they had gone to save
their valuables, and had been cut off by
the flames and smoke.
o. J. Johnson of Asbury Park, dashed
into the building, and with great difficult
ty brought the women down. His snirt
was almost burned off his hair singed,
and his hands and face badly blistered by
the heat.
E. R. Walker offered s25 to any one who
would go to his room and bring down
some jjjewery left there. Captain Ed
ward Brady, of the bellboys. and Wallace
Murray, one of his assistants secured all
the jejwelry except $1,000 pin belonging
to Mrs Walter and earned the money.
The firemen turned their attention to
saving the cottages adjoining the inn, and
saved all but those of w. Johnson Quinn,
proprietor of the inn. and Frank ]. Mat
thews of Jersey City.
Mr. Quinn, who was formerly of the
Hotel Empire. New York bought the inn
last spring for s125,ooo, spent $4,000 on inn
provements, and opened it only two weeks
ago. 1t was insured for 100000.

In the big cities people sweltered and

that farmers had abandoned work during

moonlight and are thankful that tile moon

is great At Hilton and Springfield, where
the most famous strawberries are raised,
the growers are in despair. Before the
intensely hot weather set in they had the
promise of the finest crop in years. The
berries have withered. Other early and
tender crops are in a similar state all
over the country districts of the State.
The steamboats, to Midland and South

every trip. Many families left Newark
last evening with big baskets of provisions
with the intention of spending the night
