PHILADELPHIA, July 3.-Although the
temperature did not reach the record it
made yesterday and Monday by four de-
grees, the suffering from the heat and the
fatal results from the torrid wave were
nearly as great as on the two previous
days. The maximum temperature to-day
was reached at p. m, when the weather
bureau thermometer registered SO 2-10 de-
grees. An approaching thunderstorm then
sent the mercury downward, and at 8
o'clock tonight. when the storm arrived,
the temperature had gone down TO so de-
grees. Humidity, however, then began to
play its deadly part. The storm brought
only light shower of rain which was soon
dried up by the sun-ba ked streets and sent
the percentage OF humidity up from 40 TO 40.
There was very little air stirring and the
humid atmosphere, notwithstanding the
comparatively low temperature, left the
city still In an uncomfortable state.
The record of deaths and prostrations
promises to equal that of yesterday, when
more than fifty died and over three hum
dred persons were prostrated. Up TO mid
night the number OF deaths attributed TO
the excessive heat reported since last
midnight. was forty-seven, with 25O pros
trations. The later reports from the po-
lice stations and hospitals will consider
ably increase these numbers.
Probably the greatest sufferers from the
heat, next TO humanity, were the horses.
Hundreds OF them have perished since the
hot spell began. Many industrial estab-
hshments were again either shut down or
working short hours. 1t was estimated that
only one-third of the working population
of the kensington manufacturing district
was at work to-day.
In order that heat patients can be
promptly attended to. the city authorities
have issued orders that policemen can seize
any nearby team so as to get a patient TO
hospital quickly. Tents have been erected
In various parts of the city to care for the
prostrated.

AMALGAMATED ASSOCIATION
Strike Situation TO Be Considered by

PITTSBURG. July 3.-There were no de-
velopments to-day in the strike situation
of the steel sheet and hoop workers.
Neither of the "combiaes" affected has
seemingly made any attempt to break
the solid front OF the men at any OF the
union plants. They still announce that
mills not running this week are shut down
for repairs. A private telegram from
Youngstown, received in this city last
night, stated that the American Steel
Hoop Company would go direct to the
men at its union plants ia Girard, Youngs-
town, Warren, Greenvile and Pomeroy
with the demand that they return to work
next Monday at the scale figures asked by
the association. No word or such action
has been received at the mems headquar-
ters. however

Association, stated this morning that he
called upon officers of the independent

cut in prices made by the sheet combine.

STRIKERS ENJOINED.
Temporary Injunction Order Issued
Against Machinisfs.

CINCINNATI, July 3.-Judge A. c.
Thompson, of the United States 0ourt. to-
day allowed a temporary injunction against
the striking machinists. The action had
been anticipated. and. as Judge Thompson
is to sail for Europe next Saturday, IT was
expected that Judge Clark would hear the
case. When there was a prospect for an
agreement between the parties Judge Clark
left the city on Tuesday for his home in
Chattanooga. Judge Thompson was there
fore called on TO issue a temporary injunc-
tion. He said that upon the application
and the afIidavits accompanying IL a tenn
porary order would issue and the hearing
on its merits coeld be had before Judge
Clark next week.
The order as issued was a very broad one.
1t enjoned the defendants from picketing
plaintiffs and from guarding the doors or
the streets in front of the factories and
from interfering in any way with employees
now in the factories, either there or at
their homes: from intimidating their rela-
tives or members Of their families. 1t also
forbids the use OF violence, threats in
limitation to induce any person 10 leave
the employment OF the plaintiffs or TO pre-
vent any one from entering into their en-
pIoyment.
Attorneys for the defendants complained
tion might delay hearing upon its merits
and Judge Thompson thereupon agreed TO
hear a motion in the afternoon 10 dissolve

tended hearing counsel for the plaintiffs

has suffered less in this respect than any

to heat, has been reported here since the

Although the temperature was not higher
than on other days. there was during the
hottest portion OF the day and in the even
ing lack of breeze, and this tended TO rem
der the heat more oppressive. Clouds
which passed over the city gave occasional
relief from the suns rays for few mo-
ments at q time and brought thoughts OF
refreshing showers which did not material

showers, but unless there is large fall or
