VICTIMS OF TOKRID WAVE.
Hundreds Of P~rOstratiOns and Deaths
Caused ny High Temperature.

New YORK. July 19.-While the
record of deaths and prostrations
greatly exceeded that of yesterday,
there a a distinct diminution tod ay
in the temperature prevailing through. |
out the eastern section of the country.
Although the midday heat was every.
where terrific, it was broken by scat.
tered thuuderstorms, many Of a very
violent character, aad towards
ing the temperature fell rapidly. With
the welcome relief came the announce.
ment from the weather bureau tonight
that the abatement in the heated term
had been general, aud that moder.
ate temperatures would probably pre-.
vail for several days In the middle
Atlantic and New England states.
In New York the highest tempera-
ture recorded was IS, one degree low.
than that Of yesterda y, where the
highest record Of the season was
reached.
Philadelphia reported q slightly
higher maximum range, and In other
cities the highest points OF yesterday
was not touched, while everywhere q
sharp fall was noticed, beginning
early in the afternoon.
The cumulative effect OF the con-
tinued torridity of these days was
painfully evident in the enormous in.
crease of the number of deaths in New
York. While the death roll Of yes.
terday was only %, that Of today
reached the appalling total of Is, be.
ing nearly half OF those Frustrated.
This was almost entirely due to the
collapse Of young children and aged
persons, whose exhausted vitality
was unequal to the strain of further
suffering.
Even the seashore resorts in the
vicinity of New York did not escape
the heat and many p%rostrations &C.
Cured among the thousands that
focked to Coney Island and the other
beaches on the Long Island shore.
Among the distressing incidents of
the day was the killing of her infant
in Brooklyn by a young women, who
was suddenly driven insane by heat.
She stabbed the child to death and then
made a vain attempt on her own life.
Leonard Sanders, a colored man
from New Haven, went mad in the
public park in East One Hundred and
Tenth street and leaped into the river
from the Harlem bridge. He was res.
cued by boatmen after q fierce strug.
gle in which he upset the boat and
nearly drowned his
Several of the deaths reported were
those of persons who had fallen while
asleep from fire escapes, where they
were endeavoring TO escape the sitting
atmosphere of crowded tenements.
With 15O bodies in the cold storage
room, at the city morgue, the refrig-
Grating system was found to be out O.
order today, and it was necessary to
resort to the use of tons of ice, in
which the bodies were packed, and 81
bodies we're hurried to the potters
field.
