STORM IN NEW YORK.
Subway Flooded, Traffic Suspended
Thirteen Died of Heat.

With terrific force electrical storm
broke over New York at the rush hour last
night and poured flood of water into the
subway. All traffic was stopped for hours.
and below 18th street could not be re-
sumed last night. Thousands OF persons
had to walk from stalled trains to stations.
Streets were flooded in the lower part of
Manhattan, and buildings were struck by
lightning. Surface car lines were swamped
with travel.
Thirteen deaths from heat were recorded
yesterday before the storm broke and low
cred the temperature. or these six were
infants. Thirty persons were Frustrated.
With two feet Of water covering the
tracks in the subway from Worth to Canal
street. caused by a deluge following last
nights storm, all traffic in the tunnel be-
low 14th street was tied up after o'clock.
Thousands of passengers were delayed until
the extent of the damage could be ascer-
tained, and notices were posted at the en-
frances to the subway to warn persons that
the service was out of commission.
When the storm was at its height, thun-
der crashing and the rain falling in tor
rents. passengers to whom word came OF
an accident left many of the trains and
pursued their way through the dim light
to the nearest stations In many cases the
guards were practically overpowered and
thrown aside as the doors were opened and
dared to stop the exodus. These persons
had waited a half hour In the humid at
mosphere. and their restlessness became
apparent as the time went on and there
was explanation coming from the
guards.
Those who were in stalled express trains
had greater difficulty in reaching stations.
as the express trains could not be pulled
up to one another, system established by
which an endless walk was made from
some of the trains In the local service to
uhe stations.
In all the stations there was the great
est excitement. Long before word reached
the ticket sellers that the road would be
blocked four hours tickets were sold to
passengers and in many OF the uptown sta
tons the platforms were so packed that
mems collars wilted In a few minutes and
women oppressed by the humidity to
the point of collapse.

wEssoN BOUNDED TO DEATH.
Funeral Of Multi llionaire a
Springfield, Mass.

The body of Daniel B. Wesson, the world
famous revolver manufacturer, was inferred
in Oak Grove cemetery, Springfield. Mass,
yesterday afternoon in a steel vault, ton
In weight, locked automatically from the
inside. The body lay in state in the pala-
tial Wesson residence and was viewed by
the employees of the Smith & wesson re-
volver plant The funeral was private, and
only members Of the family were present
at the grave.
The safeguards at the interment of Mr..
NELSON'S body. which were almost iden-
teal with the precautions adopted In the
burial Of Russell Sage, undoubtedly had
their inception in Mr.. NELSON'S recent ex-
pertence with Black Hand agents and fear
that attempted reprisals would be made
upon his family by ghouls Of one species
or another. even after his death.
Whether the Black Hand frightened Mr..
Wesson to death will never be officially de-
termined. That the vigorous millionaire
should pass away In less than ten months
from the time of the receipt Of Black Hand
communications is pregnant with sugges-
ton. That fear haunted the Wesson man
sion and that servants were objects of sus-
picion, and were not allowed to sleep in the
house. is matter Of common knowledge
Mr.. WesSOn was the first millionaire to
receive attention from the Black Hand.
Though his wealth had been counted by
were not an everyday occurrence. he had
never before received blackmailing COM
munication Of any kind. 1t was not sur
prising that Mr.. Wesson-then In his
eighty-hrst year. rated as possessing 49,
600 900. now known to be worth nearer $780,
000, 000-should have appealed to the muir
derous Black Hand Organization.
That Mr.. NELSON'S courage was Of the
highest order is evidenced by his terse
statement at the time the Black Hand
threats upon his life and property became
public. II viii never pay one cent to ex-
tortionists OF any stripe" asserted Mr..
Wesson as he unconsciously clenched his
hand and rested It on the arm Of his chair.
II would not be a good citizen If did:
there is a broader principle than my own
personal safety at stake" he added, ear
nestly.
The peace of mind Of Mr.. Wesson was
seriously marred for fear Of his personal
safety before the receipt OF the Black Hand
letters. Though the original cause OF the
tinidity is not known. Mr.. Wesson had for
years dreaded violence. So strong was his
fear that he went out of doors at night only
rarely, and in the daytime did not expose
himself moro than was necessary. Though
he had lived in Springfield more than fifty.
