Three deaths and several prostrations

I his mother, Mrs. Bryan, a month ago

No Relief In Sight.
"There is no relief in sight," said
Professor William Wiener at noon to-
day. "The hot wave will surely con-
tinue for at least two more days and
maybe longer. Yesterday had the high
est average temperature of the year
80 2-10 At midnight last night 1t was
II degrees and the lowest recent tenn
perature was at o'clock this morning
when 1t was 75 Then the bulb began
to rise gradually and II looks as If II
will get into the nineties later in the
day. Today is a little more bearable,
however. The humidity Ia not high. II
Ia only 58 per cent. Then there Is q
southwestern breeze. 1t is very light
of course, but tempers the heat consid-
erable.
Thousands of Newarkers slept on the
roofs of their homes last night to ,es-
cape the heat indoors. There was much
suffering among children In the con.
gested sections of the city. The side
walks were baking, and mothers did al
they could to get breath of air fol
the little sufferers. The parks wert
thronged last night and many slepi
there. All outgoing trains to the noun
tain and shore resorts were crowded
and Coney Island, Rockaway and the
nearby ocean resorts had big crowds
from Newark.
Public Baths Thronged.
The public baths were taxed to ca.
pacity. Long lines were waiting for 9
chance to take a plunge and the crush
was so great that time limit wal
placed on the bathers.
Another effect of the intense heat
was shown in the number of dog bites
treated at the City Hospital. In one
case II was clearly shown that a mad
dog was at large, and the animal wai
shot in the Newton street playground
For an hour this morning a black
dog, frothing at the mouth, tried te
get into the home of Mrs. Mary Mohr-
butter so Newton street. and James
Newman telephoned the police of the
Fourth Precinct, but when the police
arrived the dog was gone. Later the
