After 100 Deaths and Hundreds OF
Prostrations in New York.

New York. July 6.-Showers tonight
brought measurable relief to New
York from the hot wave which has
taken more than 100 lives and caused
hundreds of prostrations during the
five days it has visited upon this city.
The days maximum of 935 bettered
yesterdays high mark by helf de-
gree.
When the shower area developed to-
night. the official mercury dropped 10
degrees in 45 minutes, running down
to IS at 845 o'clock. The passing of
the brief storm, however, was the sig
nal for another upward shoot to 80
shortly after 8 o'clock and there still
seemed to be no firm ground for the
hope that the back of the hot spell had
finally been broken.
The days mortality was the heaviest
for any a hours since the heat wave
began. In the metropolitan district "A
deaths are attributed to the heat Pros
trations were almost too numerous to
keep count of.

Hundreds of shade trees were blown
down in Bangor, carrying trolley and
light wires with them as they fell, and
streets all over the city were blocked

late tonight from Bar Harbor are to the
effect that no serious damage was done
in that vicinity. The velocity of the wind
in Bangor is estimated at so to 60 miles

is impossible to estimate. but it runs far
into the thousands Following the storm
