HEAT IS OPPRESSIVE
Eastern and New England States
Experience High Temperatures.
HUNDREDS ARE AMONG ITS VICTIMS.
People in the Large Cities ESDe-
rIence Great Suffering and Many
Sleep in the Streets
and Parks.

New York, July 19.-An area OF op-
pressive heat, that brings to mind with
unpleasant viyidness the record-break-
ing summer Of 1901, has settled down
over the eastern and New England
states, already numbering hundreds
among its victims and causing inde'
scribable suffering to thousands In
this and other cities.
From all points Tuesday night came
the story of the hottest day OF the
summer, attended with frequent pros
trations and not a few deaths. Phil
adelphia reported maximum temper
allure of 1873, the highest figure OH
cially noted. In this city the weather
bureaus high mark was 80. while In
Boston "a was recorded.
The offlcial thermometers located In
exposed places above the street did
not, however, indicate the tempera-
ture in which the ordinary mortal
moved, and many street thermometers
indicated a temperature Of 100 or
higher, some reliable instruments reg
istering 104 and los.
Following are the maximum tenn
peratures ofiicially recorded In the
larger cities, in which the known cases

country for three or four days, accord
cording to the weather bureau Tues
day night. Probable light showers in
the west gulf states and in the nouns
tain regions Of North Carolina, Geor|

Pennsylvania, eastern New York and
New Jersey, where the maximum
readings Of 90 to 9S degrees were re-
corded. .E
There were six prostrations from

the cases proved fatal The oflcial
thermometer here recorded 95 degrees,
two degrees higher than Monday, and
marked the warmest day Of the year.
