NEW YORK, July 19-While the rec
ord of deaths and prostrations greatly
exceeded that of yesterday, there was
IA distinct diminution today in the tenn
eastern section of the country. AL
though the midday heat was every
where terrific, 1t was broken by scat
tered thunderstorms, many of very
violent character, and toward evening
the temperature fell rapidly.
In New York the highest temperature
recorded was 95, one degree lower than
that Of yesterday, when the highest
record was reached.
AS usual, the maximum official tenn
peratures were everywhere exceeded by
those prevailing in the crowded dis
tricts. where the actual temperature
frequently exceeded 100 degrees.
The cumulative effect of the contin-
ued torridity of these days was pain
fully evident in the enormous increase
in the number of deaths in New York.
While the death roll of yesterday was
the appalling total of seventy-flve, be-
ing nearly half of those prostrated.
This was almost entirely due to the
collapse of young echildren and aged
persons. whose exhausted vitality was
unequal to the strain of further suffer
ing
Even the seashore resorts of New
York did not escape the heat and many
prostrations occurred among the thous-
ands that fiocked to Coney island ana
the other beaches on the Long island
shore.

stabbed her child to death and then
made vain attempt on her own life.
Leonard Sanders, a negro from New
Haven, went mad in the public park in
East One Hundred and Thirtieth street
and leaped into the river from the Har-
lem bridge.
Several of the deaths reported were
those of persons who had fallen from
fire escapes where they were endeav-
oring to escape the sitting atmosphere
Of the crowded tenements.
With $50 bodies in the cold storage
room at the city morgue the refrig-
Grating system was found to be out
of order today, and it was necessary
to resort to the use of tons Of ice, in
which the bodies were packed, and
ffty bodies were hurried to the pot
ter's field.
Six deaths due to the heat and thirty
prostrations were reported in Connec-
ticut.

cation of their children. we have had to contend with the indifference of em- ployers who were content to reciv0 into their factories youths who had ab- solutely no idea of the technical side of industry. The result of that deplor- able practice was remarkably poor condition of industry in general. Un- der such conditions we have not been able. naturally. to produce young men fit to be foremen or managers or super fntendents. Indeed, I have found 1t necessary to counteract the prevailing indifference by making the rule at the Salford Works that only those young men who have attended technical schools. or at least have in some way studied the technical side of industry, shall be admitted.
 All our large technical schools are modelled after your Massachusetts In- stftute of Technology. They are not. of course, in their present sRte, to be seriously compared with the Boston inc stitution, and I am not sure that there is hope that they will ever become worthy of comparison with the techni- cal schools that have been established in this country. Our next step must be the establishment of something like your system of secondary schools, which, in my opinion. are a distinct honor and glory to the country, and, no doubt. to large extent account Tor the fact that the best examples of tech- nical schools in the world are to Dc found in America. &
 We have suffered in England by reason of the absence of just such schools. Over there the youth can take only two steps-one from the eie- mentary public schools to the schools that prepare them for the university, and the other from the elementary schools direct to business. Here. on the contrary, I have noticed thas 1t Is the ambition of youths to go as far in school as their self-sacrificing parents will permit them. Our one hope Tn England is that by-and-by parents Will realize the value of sending their chii- dren to school until they are capable or doing some responsible part or the worlds work, and so we are trying to instil something of the American spirit into the English people.
 "As a friend and advocate Of techni- cal education I may say that am really jealous of the great advance that has been made in the United States. l regard the Massachusetts Institute or Technology as the best example or the methods of producing men scientifically trained for industrial and commercial purposes to be found in the world our curriculum in our day technical schools was taken from this institution, which. I maw say, represents the standard or excellence that some day we hope to achieve ourselves"

FIRE DESTROYS STORE
LOSS BY FLAMES IN vESUvIUS Es-
 TIMATED AT &2,0OO.
Walter Venable's Frame Building and Four Cottages Consumed Sunday MOrning.-LOxs Is Partially
 Covered by Insurance.

Fire which was discovered at 11:40 o'clock yesterday morning. practically destroyed the one-story frame store house of Walter Venable in Vesuvius. North Montgomery, and four one and two-room cottages adjacent to it. en- tailing a loss that Is estimated at $2,- 900.
 The blaze originated from the ex- plosion of a gasoline stove in bar bershop for negroes next to the Vena- ble store A negro was cooking on the stove when it exploded. and in trying to take the burning mass from the building. the framework of the house caught fire.
 An alarm was sent by telephone to the fire department but the flames spread quickly and burned with a fury. Before the firemen could cover the long distance to the scene of the fire. the blaze had secured good head way and the firemen were taxed to their utmost for awhile in controlling the fire. Occupants of the four cot- tages, who were negroes. anticipated the spread of the fire and removed practically all of their household goods before their homes were destroyed.
 The houses were old buildings and burned like finder. Two lines of hose were laid by the firemen and the men worked hard to keep the fire from ex- tending over the neighborhood.
 Some of MT. Venables stock in his store was destroyed though willing hands helped to remove articles of value from the burning buildings.
 MT. venable did not state what amount of insurance he had on his stock. The store house and three of the cottages belonged to him.
 The fire caused great volumes of smoke and attracted large crowd to the scene Water had to be secured from plugs several hundred yards from the fire but the water pressure was good and the firemen were not ham pered in this direction.

This warrant was sent by mall to Deputy Marshal Hiram Gibson of Roan- oke. in whose territory Fredonia Is sit- uated.
 Saturday Deputy Gibson advised Marshal Bryan that 1t was probable the arrest of Heath and Adams would he accomplished by difficulties. He said that white citizens had reported to him that two negroes who were witnesses against Heath and Adams had been TO- tified that they must leave the neigh borhood of Fredonia- Deputy Gibson had the negroes brought to his home and arranged to have them protected
 He suggested to Marshal Bryan that under the circumstances 1t would be well to send posse to arrest the two white men.

In the company drill there were only two contestants. Company B. of Bir- mingham and Company c of Selma.
