The day dawned hot. swetering and breath
less. From So degrees at midnight Sunday
the mercury gradually fell until at o'clock yes
terday morning it indicated so degrees, the cool
est period of the whole twenty-four hours. Then
II began 10 climb In three hours it had reached
81 degrees. and noon showed 94 degrees. with
the hottest part of the day to come. AT O'Clock
the maximum of Sunday, 81 degrees. was
reached and ten minutes after the record OF the
year was made when the indicator reading
Ss degrees. Gradually from that time the heat
diminished. but by such slow stages that ap-
prsciable relief was felt. At o'clock in the
evening there We're only 90 degrees but in the
hour that followed the temperature jumped UP
four more marks to 96 degrees. and it 8
o'clock before it again returned to 90
TERRIBLE SUFFERING.
In the crowded portions of the city the suf-
fering was indescribable. The people get
no relief from the terrible heat even in the
streets, and in the close rooms, to who is
not accustomed to live in such quarters the
air was unbearable for a few minutes.
Men, women and children gasp for air and are
driven to the windows, the fire escapes and the
roofs for relief. What the roofs last night
may be ina gined. The tin and the tar roofs re-
tain the heat of the sun in which they have
been baking all day. radiating it at night in
waves that cannot by the greatest stretch Of
immagination be called cooling. How much
heat they had TO give out last night may be
guessed
The figures given are taken on the top OF one
OF the highest buildings in the city. where the
instruments carefully protected from the
rays Of the sun, and whatever breeze there is is
felt. In the streets it is different. The sun beat
down with fierce heat that radiated from the
buildings and made the streets like a blast fur
mace. a trustworthy thermometer exposed in
the City Hall Park at ? o'clock yesterday after
noon indicated 130 degrees, and the heat in
creased for more than hour after that.
1t was the hottest July i ever recorded as hap
pening TO this city-and nobody doubted it, even
before the assurance of the fact came from the
Weather Bureau Clerks and business men came
downtown az the usual hour in the morning,
showing the effects OF the fearful hours Of the
nfxht They were wted even before they
reached their offices. All went about the work OF
the day in a nstless manner. and the employer
was hard indeed, who refused TO allow his en-
ployes a few minutes rest whenever they felt
the need Of l..
HARD. ON WALL STREET CLERKS.
The heat was especially hard the clerks il
Wall Street for il dividend day in the
financial district and the business of the day
could neither be neglected nor delayed. 1t made
one hotter even to see the rush and whirl that
was maintained until the close of the Exchange
brought q cessatio- OF business activity.
Early in the day special arrangements were
made for handling the large number of cases of
prostration that everybody knew was certain to
come. At Bellevue wards were set apart for
this purpose, and the accommodations were such
that thirty cases could be cared for stimuli
taneousiy. In the afternoon the Sturgs pa
vilion, portion of the Bellevue system. set
apart for heat cases. At Roosevelt Hospital, to
make room for the excessive number OF new
patients brought in by the ambulances. the ac-
cident patients removed from the building
and placed in shady spots on the lawn.
The ambulance calls were SO many that there
were not enough of these vehicles to meet the
demand. and the police patrol wagons were
called upon to furnish auxiliary service The
prevalence Of the new disease among horses
materially added to the handicap under which
the doctors were working, and in many cases
horses had to be obtained from contractors and
others to draw patrol wagons and a;nbulances.
Come OF the hospital doctors are away on vaca-
tson, and this leaves the stafes SO short that
