ELEVEN DEATHS
Due to Heat Reported in New York
esterday-Hundreds of Horses
and Dogs Die.

New York August 7.-Deaths and
prostrations marked the second day of
intense heat in New York City. At
seven o'clock this evening sharp
thunder storm with a deluge of rain
swept over the city from southeast to
streets and pavements which during
the day simmered in the sum. This
storm was realization of the wealth
er bureaus forecast of thunder and
rain with a cooler temperature to-
night, and was boon to the suffering
hundreds of thousands in the tene-
ment districts.
Eleven persons are known to be
dead.
Hundreds of horses and dogs were
killed by the heat and the health de-
partment was busy all day removing
their carcasses from the streets.
The temperature today failed to
reach the dizzy heights attained yes
terday but managed to hold steady in
the nineties. The public parks and
all the piers we're crowded with peo-
pie looking for a breeze. Thousands
slept in the parks last night and after
the thunderstorm this evening the
benches were filed.
A murder and suicide which the po-
lice believe was caused by James Lu-
pos becoming crazed with the heat
occurred today at 345 East Twelfth
street. Lupo killed his wife with a
revolver and then shot himself. Lupo
was SO years old and his wife year
younger. He had been in this country
four years and several months ago
returned to Italy to bring his wife
over He had saved considerable mon
ey and neighbors said they knew no
reason for his act today save that he
had suffered greatly from the heat.

will be held for safe keeping.
The only prisoners in the local Gala
boC'se are the men arrested charged
with participation in last nights cam
paign of mob rule, and the governor
and local authorities intend these
men shall remain where they are un-
til the grand jury of Rowan county
shall have passed upon their case.
While it is fact that last nights
mob was composed for the most part
of the lawless section of the inhabi-
tants Of Montgomery and Rowan
counties, nevertheless it is known that
many wealthy farmers, neighbors of
the murdered family participated. 1t
is these men that are anxious to Sc
cure the release of the men now under

of them at least might turn states
evidence. The governor is worked up
! to a pitch Of intense indignation over
| last nights affairs and declares that
| if it be the last event of his political
| career he will secure the punish ment
of all who took part in the affair.

is also charged by the Ohio members
that a clique exists and that this

The national officers. however, as
sert thot the present agitation is
nothing more than a movement to

OF the order, as Supreme President.

Cleveland. o., in June, providing for
the publication of an accounting of the

defeated.
Attorneys have been employed to
fight for publicity In the orders af-

the Ohio Circles can ask the Ohio In
surance Department to act, which
would mean complete investigation
Of the affairs of the order.

Pittsburg, Pa, Aug. 7-Arguments
in the Hartje divorce case were con-
cluded this afternoon after the at

the time of the court in presenting
their sides of the case FOR over IL
hours, the arguments starting at 8
o'clock Monday morning and finish
ing at D. m. today Attorney John
NJ Freeman, made the closing address
Sor Mrs. Mary Scott Hartje, while At
torney j. Scott Furgeson closed for
the libellant, Augustus Hartje.
Both attorneys made able addresses
and were not sparing Of their feeling
of either party to the suit.
The principals showed very little
animation during the arguments and
exhibited more interest in the squab-
bles of the attorneys than in the
points that were being presented
against them. At the conclusion of
the arguments Judge Robert s. Fra
zer announced that his decision in the
case will not be made until Septem-
ber.

CAR At OUTS
WITH PREMIER
CASTS Aside Stolypln's
Program and Announ-
ces He Will Abdicate
the Throne if He Cant
Have His. Own Way.

st. Petersburg, August 8.-The abdi-
cation of the czar may be the next
epoch in the history of Russia
That the czar has determined to
leave, the throne is the burden of the
most persistent rumors now circulat-
ing In official circles and among
those combinations of progressists who
on account of their former close asso-
citation with the highest classes are
still well informed of developments
at Peterhof.
These rumors will not down, and as
they originate from the same sources
that in the past have accurately FORE
casted the most important develop
ments, they are entitled to grave con-
sideration.
Premier Stolypin visited the czar
yesterday. The conference tends to
verify the startling tenor of the rum
ors that the czar will abandon his
rulership.
Stolypin went to Peterhof to pre-
sent to Nicholas program of imper-
ial measures likely to satisfy the rev.
olutionists. In the preparation of
these policies the premier had exer-
eised the finest craftsmanship of which
he and his immediate advisers in the
ministry were capable and had done
his best to grant as little on the
part of the throne as was consistent
with stilling for the moment the out
cry of the extremists for reform.
MAY ABDICATE
No Russian is more better acquaint-
ed with the temper of the people than
the czar and Stolypin.
The czar, with violence that would
have been pettish had the subject been
less than stupendous in Importance,
| brushed Stolypin's program aside. In a
| fit of uncontrolled passion the emperor
opposed the measure of reform pre-
| sented by the premier and bitterly de-
nounced any proposal that partook OF
concessions to the revolutionists.
In the course of his TRADE, the czal
declared that he would resign the
throne and confer the regency upon
Grand Duke Vladimir and Nicolivitch
if he could not have his way. With
this statement ringing in his ears
the premier returned to st. Peters
burg, his best considered policies FOL
the preservation of the empire smash
ed to pieces.
The czar seems to have crossed
the rubicon by his attitude toward
the premier. He expressly sided with
the reactionaries in his opposition tc
Stolypin's propositions and embraced
the declarations of passion and op
preston that have brought the throne
| to the present extremity.

Judge of the earth must do right, and If justice
calls for a certain result, he cannot effect
it. No spectacular display could save his honor

INJURIES WERE FATAL
J. @. VanOrsdeI Receives News Of
Accidental Death Of His Brother
in Ohio.

Job r. VanOrsdel, brother Of Ex-
Sheriff J. G. VanOrsdel of Dallas,
was thrown from his buggy and
fatally injured, in Girard, Ohio, We'd
nesdaH, June 81. His death occurred
on Sunday, July /. The following
account of the sad affair is taken from
the Warren Daily Tribune:
''The death of County Commissioner
Job R. VanOrsdel removes from life's
activities one of the most useful citi-
zens of the county. On Wednesday
last Mr.. VanOrsdel was injured on
Liberty street in Girard. His horse
became frightened, and in getting it
under control he was thrown onto a
stone sidewalk. After he had been
taken to his home, it was found that
his leg had been broken and that he
had sustained internal injuries. He
bore his sufferings with remarkable
bravery, but gradually grew weaker
and died at Q o'clock Sunday evening,
"Mr. VanOrsdel was born in Penn
sylvania in 1887 and was one Of II
children. He served his country in
the Civil War, and afterwards settled
in Ohio, where he carried on an ex-
tensive business in breeding and
shipping fine cattle. A wife and seven
children survive him. His youngest
brother, Josiah A., a resident of
Wyoming, is located at Washington,
D. O., as Assistant Attorney-General
of the United States. Another brother
resides in Oregon, another in Nebraska
and another in Kansas.
'Mr. VanOrsdel was a big man in
his community. He was the soul OF
honor, a man of calm judgment,
public spirited, greatly beloved by his
friends and trusted by all his ac-
quaintances. A man who had known
him we'll for many years said last
night; If anyone had asked me to
name the best man knew, man
who came as near to being a model as
possible, l should unhesitatingly
have named Job VanOrsdel.
