Heat Tragedies In New York.

New York. July 13.-Thirteen deaths
attributed to the hot weather were re-
corded in New York to-day. In addition
score or moro of persons were over
come by the heat and are under treat
ment in the city hospital. Tonight a
strong westerly breeze is bringing a
share of relief. The high humidity and
the continuance throughout the night of
temperatures varying only slightly from
those of the hottest hours of the day
have caused the heavy fatality attending
the present hot spell in this city.
John McCerronn, complaining of ILL.,
ness induced by the heat and sent to his
home in Third avenue, lost consciousness
as he was ascending the stairs, and fell
backward, breaking his neck.
Stricken suddenly by the heat as he
was working on roof in the Bronx,
Samuel Schultz, a painter, fell five sto-
ries to the ground and was instantly
killed. Many children were included in
the death list.
