Ice Men Strike in New York City.
New York, July 1S.-Late returns
from the hospitals show ten deaths as
the total of the result of yesterday S
terrific heat in and about New York,
and more than 100 cases OF prsstra-
tions were reported by the police.
Everywhere in the city thousands
spent the night on the roofs and door
steps, while the park benches were
crowded. Sleep was almost out of the
question except under the most favor
able conditions, particularly on the
east side and in the quarter known as
the Tenderloin. No relief is promised
by the weather forecasters, and as the
humidity rose rapidly during the night,
the outlook for to-day was serious dur
ing the early hours of the morning.
Owing to a strike inaugurated by 700
ice men in the employ of the Amer
lean Ice Company, the discomfort OF
the heat wave will be magnified to-day
in many sections of the city, where it
is feared the strikers will attempt to
prevent others from taking their
places. Brooklyn seemed to suffer
more from the heat than Manhattan.
Seven of the dead lived there and the
ambulance service for all the hospitals
worked almost necessarily, eleven
calls being received in twenty-five min
utes.
