        NEW  YORK  HOTTEST  CITY  IN  AMERICA
                                _________________

No Deaths Reported, but List of Prostrations is Long. Mortality in Brooklyn.
Heat Increases Death Rate to Unusual Degree-Thousands make their Escape from
the City.

                             _____________________

      According to the records and reports of the Weather Bureau, New York
was the hottest city in the United States yesterday. A new high Mark was

established for this year in the city, when at 4:30 o'clock in the afternoon
93 degrees was reached. The heat of the day was death dealing and there were
more prostrations than during all of the other hot days of the season.

      Deaths due to the heat reported in Brooklyn were:

GRAPSKY,  OKKAH,  5 days old, of 81 North Fourth Street.
HUGHES,  CATHERINE,  15 months old, of 73 North Fourth Street.
LADRANO,  MAMIE,  22 days old,  188 Hamilton Avenue.
MARRYATT,  MRS.  JENNY,  80 years old, of 464 Herkimer Street.
UNKNOWN  CHILD, about 5 years old, found dead at 216 Stone Avenue.

      The prostrations reported to the police were confined to Manhattan,
though but few of those who applied at the hospitals for relief after being
overcome were reported. Those whose names the police have are:

ACCARDI,  ANTONIO  M.,  27 years old, of 37 Morrell Street, Brooklyn.
Overcome at Pier 34 North River and removed to Roosevelt Hospital.

BARNEY,  OWEN, 50 years old, of 342 East Fifty-fifth Street. Overcome at the

Hospital ambulance surgeon and removed to his home.

BRENNAN,  THOMAS  32 years old, of 600 West Forty-fifth Street. Overcome at
Forty-third Street and Tenth Avenue and removed to Roosevelt Hospital.

BROWN,  ANNIE,  22 years old, of 42 East Fifty-eighth Street. Overcome at

removed to her home.

WELCH,  JAMES,  28 years old, of Douglasston, L.I. Overcome at 262 Pearl
Street and removed to his home in an ambulance.

      The Manhattan Bureau of Vital Statistics has made no report yet on the
effect of the intense heat of the past few days on the death rate in the
city, but Dr. Byrne, the Superintendent of the Brooklyn Bureau, said
yesterday that the heat was the cause of an almost three fold increase in
the death rate of that borough. The death rate of Brooklyn when normal is 71
a day. During the twenty-four hours between noon on Monday and noon
yesterday 180 deaths were reported.
      Throughout the city the special Summer physicians employed by the
Board of Health to look after the children of the poor in the crowded
sections had an extremely hard day's work. The city is divided into
sections, to each of which certain men are assigned to visit every family
and give medical assistance wherever it is needed. Many of the private and
public charitable organizations have given assistance to the Board of Health
in the work of saving the children, but even with this aid  the work was
almost overwhelming.
      On the east side last night the heat in the big tenements was
unbearable, and the residents there vacated their homes early in the
evening. The small parks were overrun, and many of the people went to the
recreation piers. In the parks, the people disregarded the "Keep off the
Grass" signs, and many stretched out on the green lawns to spend the night
there. All along the water front the stringpieces were occupied. In the
streets of the east side the children in many cases ran half naked. The roof
of every tenement was used for sleeping, while every fire-escape bore
sweltering people.
      The public baths, stationed along the waterfront, were, too, the
centres of attraction for thousands of men and boys yesterday. Policemen had
to be stationed at the entrances of each one to keep the crowds in order.
Many of the boys, tired of waiting, went to the end of adjoining piers and
peeled off and went overboard. The sport was pursued without molestation by
the police. Inside the baths the scene was everywhere confusion. Those in
the water made no attempts to leave, and as the crowds continued to pour in
the pools became so crowded that there was little room to swim.
      Coney Island, Rockaway, the Staten Island and beaches, Glen Island,
and the other seaside resorts were all crowded early in the day. Every train
and boat going from the city was packed with heat-fearing people. Wherever
there was bathing there was a crowd.
     Last night the Coney Island beach was crowded by people who took
advantage of the permission of the Brooklyn Park Commissioner to sleep on
the sands. Whole families spent the night there, and at mid-night the beach
presented the appearance of an army sleeping, the big policemen, like
sentries pacing back and forth, seeing that nothing ill befell any of the
sleepers. The mosquitoes were more troublesome than the police used to be.
      After the day's heat of Monday the thermometer subsided somewhat and a
cool, relieving breeze started up. At 4 o'clock yesterday morning there was
a suggestion of  chill, but an hour later, when the sun was looking over the
city, the thermometer began to rise, jumping rapidly until 8 o'clock, when
it reached 76 degrees. The wind then was from the northwest, blowing at
seven miles an hour, while the humidity was below the normal. By 10 o'clock
the mercury in the tube had gone 7 degrees higher, and by noon it reached
88. Gradually, one degree an hour, it mounted to 4 o'clock, and during the
next half hour it made its record for the year.
      During the evening it went down again several degrees but the wind
fell to 5 miles an hour and little relief was to be had. About 6 o'clock
black clouds swept across the district very far down town, accompanied by a
brisk breeze. Relief in the form of rain was then in sight, but an hour
later the sky was exasperatingly clear.

WOMAN LOSES HER LIFE PUTTING OUT A FIRE
  As a result of burns received while trying to put out a slight blaze in 
her apartments, at 72 Poplar street, last night, Mrs. Elizabeth CASSIDY, 60 
years old, died at the Brooklyn Hospital to-day.
  A cat knocked a gas lamp from a table. The lace curtains caught fire, and 
when Mrs. CASSIDY pulled them down the flames spread to her dress and 
quickly enveloped her.
