FATAL TO MANY HORSES
A VETERINARY STATION ESTARLJSHEn
On THE EAST SIDE-EPIDEMIC
AGGRAvATES TROUBLE.

More than two hundred horses died yesterday
as a result Of the heat. How many were pros-
trated the Health Department could not esti-
mate but II was said that both death and pros
tration were increasing rapidly 1t has been
found necessary TO esta blish a veterinary sta
ton in Stanton-st, on the East Side, as many
horses are overcome by the heat in that part of
the city
Since Saturday the department has been cork
ing night and day to clear the streets of the
bodies of dead horses. Great difficulty has been
experienced because g number of the Health
Departments OWL horses have given out. and it
has been almost impossible to hire others to
take their places.
The laryngial disease from which so many
horses have been suffering recently has been
followed by purpura hemorrhagca " hich, be-
cause of the heat, has been fatal in a number
of cases. This disease is characterized by
swelling Of the head and legs.

RELIEF ONLY TEMPORARY.
THE WEATHER BUREAU EXPECTS HIGH
TEMPERATURES TO CONTINUE.

I@-hr III CONIlNOE
Washington. July 2-The Weather Bureau to-
night issued the following bulletin:
The hot wave which has prevailed during the
last ten or twelve days over New-England, the
Middle Atlantic States, the Lake region, the
Ohio Valley and the Central West and North
west continued during Tuesday, although tenn
porary relief was afforded during the afternoon
by numerous thunderstorms in New-England
and the Middle Atlantic States. and at Chicago
and st. Louis. AT Philadelphia maximum
temperature Of 102 was again reached; at
Washington II was 100, at New-York City 9S,
at Boston "a! at Albany 9S, at Scranton 9S. at
st. Louis S6, at Louisville 96 and at Alpena,
Mich, w. The maximum temperature above 80
also occurred in the extreme Western States.
AS yet this warm wave has not equalled in
duration those of 1881 and 1900, except in New
York City, where during the present hot wave
the maximum tempera lures have ranged from 30
to % during the past seven days exceeding the
greatest previous record by two days. Neither
have the extreme temperatures of the present
wave yet exceeded the previous highest record.
although they very nearly equalled it.
The eastward movement of another low
pressure area in the extreme West renders it
improbable that there will be any long continued
relief from the high temperature over districts
now affected but it is not probable they will
reach the previous extreme in the Atlantic
States on account of the influence of a moderate
West Indian disturbance which appears to be
moving northwestward over the Lesser Antilles.

REFRIGERATED AIR.
How the Census Chief Clerk KeeI
His Room COOl

How the Census Chief Clerk Keeps
His Room Cool.
The chief clerk Of the census office, Mr.
Edward McCawley. has adopted heroic
measures in order to keep COOL Three cleo
trio fans blow breezes about his office, and
In order to make these breezes cool and re-
freshing he has had two big cakes Of ice
placed In tin pans, one on his own desk and
another on a nearby table. Thus the re-
frigerated air Is kept rushing around the
room It does not keep the room quite as
cool as an ice box, and butter would prob
ably not hold its form in the temperature
that is secured. but it helps. Some Of the
clerks who have seen this attractive ar
rangement during the torrid weather have
specuiated on the possibility of having the
same plan extended over the entire build
ing. But the cost Of such an ARRANGEMENT
would probably prevent 1t. 1t is estimated
that It costs so cents a day to keep the
chief clerks room cool from Q am to 4
pm. and that 1t would probably require
from $500 to $1,000 day to refrigerate all
the clerks.
