HEAT DEATH ROLL LONGER
FOURTEEN MORE NAMES.
No EfectiUe Relief TILL Monday,
Weather Nan Says.

A slight rain yesterday brought tempo
rary relief from the intense heat, but the mer-
curry climbed steadily after that, and before the
sun set yesterday numbered among the
hottest days of the protracted heat spell 1t was
a few degrees cooler than the day before, but
the harvest of the grim reaper was multiplied
Up to midnight the heat had caused the death of
fourteen IN greater New-York, and had pros
trated nearly thirty. This is the greatest num-
ber of deaths for any day since the beginning
of the hot spell.
In the suburbs there five deaths reported
and several attempts at suicide. The fatality
list for the heat period now totals forty-eight
The prostrations will reach almost two hundred
The temperature at its highest, at 80 de-
grees, at noon yesterday, and at the same hour
the humidity was 20. In the early morning the
humidity &C. with temperature of II. 1t
was in the early hours that the largest number
Of deaths reported. and many prostrations.
The weather man offers no consolation. The
hot spell is likely to continue until Monday. he
says. when severe storms predicted.
The heat claimed it's victims yesterday in va
rious ways: Patrolman Frawley. of the Mac
dougal-st. station. found old man exhausted
from the heat at Broadway and Spring-st. and
had him removed to st. Vincepts. When he
revived somewhat he gave his Thomas
Brennan. He is so weak from hunger and the
heat that the physicians have small hope of
keeping him alive.
While there has been great suffering among
horses and other animals for the last week, II
was said yesterday at the American Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals that the
number and severity of the cases did not
ceed that of last year. Twenty-Five special
agents are distributed in various parts of the
CITY, as well as a number of other representa-
tives of the society
Regarding the recent prostrations of calves
President Haines of the society said that all was
being done that was possible. The animals were
turned loose in lot and water played on them
from a hose, until they recovered from their
exhaustion. Section 1886 Of the Revised Stat
utes. which says that cattle must be unloaded
from cars in transportation. for food, rest and
water once in every twenty-eight hours and that
they must be rested five hours is being rigidly
enforced by the dealers. as well as by the So
ciety.
