ARD the 90 degree mark was passed at
Ii o'clock by one degree. Noon saw the

every prospect that before the dawn OF
another day the list Of deaths and pros
trations would be considerably greater
than it was Monday, There were eight
deaths before noon in the greater city
and nearly two score prostrations.
The sky was overcast at noon and the
distressed town took hope that the long
looked for shower was nc hand. A small
breeze stirred the flag on the City Hall
at that hour and made life Just little
more bearable, 1t was gladly welcomed
and thanks were given that the humid
ity was not high. 1t reached its high.

sleep for the occupants Of these places
Monday night. All through the night
came calls to the hospitals TO 90 to the
aid of unfortunates who had found the
abnormal conditions too severe strain
upon them. In every one Of these relief
institutions resources were strained to
their utmost.
Physicians and nurses were doing dou-
bic duty. extra horses were called in
to replace the exhausted animals who
had been running all day and Monday
night with the heavy ambulanees and
double nd triple supplies OF milk and ice
were ordered to meet the unusual de-
mand occasioned by the extraordinarily
Iarg number of heat cases which came
to the hospitals
When the early morning list of vic
tins of the heat wave was made up
yesterday. it was found that p persons
in the greater city had died as a direct
