_——_—_———-- -- - THE HEATED TERM. One Hundred and Fifty-five Cases of Sunstroke Yesterday, Seventy- two of Which Were Fatal. SCENES AT THE MORGUE. 8 DANA aE Se Distressing Scenes at Park and Bellevue Hospitals. — ‘THE NAMES OF THE VICTIMS. ‘The eve of the glorious Fourth wasas warm & day a2 the most enthusiastic old fogy could desire, and Ro donbt the day itself will be as bright in the skies ‘aad as sunny here below as the most ardent of modern patriots could expect, ‘The following table, the indications being taken from Hudnut’s thermometer, shows the varied @hanges of the heat yesterday, ap compared with “he corresponding day last year :— 1871, 1872, 1871. 1872, Deg, I. I. 7 re, 3P a 7 ™ 6F. 80 86 72 80 OP. 1 85 81 87 At three o’clock P.M. yesterday the mercury stood at ninety-nine degrees in the shade. It also stood at the same figure at the same hour on Tues- @ay and Monday. The afternoon of yesterday, from moon to three o’clock, was rather cooler than on ‘the day previous, the mercury at noon on Tuesday being at ninety-seven degrees, while yesterday it stood as low down as eighty-seven degrees at noon. There were stronger and more continued breezes, too, yesterday, which served to ‘temper the excessive heat. Yet the suffering to man and beast was terrible. Persons of the strong- est constitutions acknowledged the effect of the eonstant strain upon the system and the increas- fmg exbaustion. Ipdoors as well as out of doors the dangerous effects are now beginning to be felt. In the streets yesterday thousands of persons @uffered much from the overpowering pressure— not #0 seriously, indeed, as to be classed among the Jong list given below of the most unfortunate vic- tims, but seriously enough to be compelled to seck remedies and to have fears of the worst excited. However, the people are getting alive to the dread ¢ircumstances in which they are placed, and show iseretion in shunning the danger as much as possible. Still ist must be said that it would seem the working classes venture too boldly in out of door labor, and appar- ently ignore the fact that the more exhausted they become the more gurely are they liable to the death etroke itself. To-day being the great na- tional anniversary, feelings of patriotiam will, doubt- jess, call many thousands out into the strects to celebrate the independence of the nation, and in the jubilation the historic event will excite perbaps prudence may be {pr the while forgotten, but anyhow it would be wise if every man, woman and ehild on celebration bent would be careful to re- member ail the time to do the celebration on the whady side of the street. Like its masters, the noblest of all the animals, varge Uisek Mes, ‘The ceiling was also a mass of mies, Se the tienes of tha sour) yan andy extending out iver is @ long, low, wooden building. Here the bodies were plied up in tiers in far greater numbers, and the files were gathered in denser swarms than ineither the other rooms or the court, and from the confinement of the atmosphere the smell becomes unbearable. ‘Two of the tiers seven coffins high, there being twenty-niue jes of adults in comns, besides two in square boxes and one ina Co ‘There are also in this room two stacks df coffing, each ten in heighth, and containing the bodies of twenty infants, Returning through the hospital gate the reporter stopped to chat with the gatekeeper, from whom he learned that, though the not brought to their doors so many victims the previous one, still the dozen ambulances were in constant move- ment;*as fast as @ horse gave out from the fast driving to which they are subjected the harness was nat from him and pl 1 on another, which took his place. The ambulance surgeons, however, were nearly exhausted, Walking up the drive as an ambulance rushed in from the street the reporter watched the attachés of the hospital as they prepared the stretchers for the unfortunate persons it contained, and saw them removed by Warden fone | who carefully lifted each person and directed the movements of his subordinates, The new victims, who will prapeny recover, were a woman of thirty-five, of stout per- son, and a fine muscular man of less than thirty. A servant @ complaint, as he was hurrie toward a stretcher to in a new arri' that he had not been at soneer) but dita ada cay sl aot nl odes St wan supper. To another, an of the building, who ‘wished to leave for @ short time, the Warden stated that he was astonished to hear & man with a heart propose such a thing in earnest ateuch atime. And really, to see the Warden at work, with sleeves rolled up and his brawny arms men as tenderly asa mother would her child, it make the conauct of these men rather p ous by contrast. & look from Scenes at Park Hospital. At the hospital, on the-Oentre street side of the City Hall Park, which is the only one between the Battery and Twenty-sixth street specially devoted to cases of coup de solett, the scenes yesterday were strongly suggestive of the rear of a battle line soon after a battle has begun. As on the three imme- diately preceding days, the large majority of the cases brought in were cases of coup de soleil. These are nearly all perfectly quiet, in fact helpless when brought in; but their almost noiseless state is ever and anon disturbed by the moans of the others received whose limbs have been crushed through some accident; the yellings of the intox- icated, who, in drunken brawls, have had their heads, necks and sides opened with knives in the hands of those who were their friends in moments of sobriety, and the sorrowful wailings and wild shrieks of the female relatives and friends who call to give consolation, but who more frequently simply disturb. From the after-midnight hour at which the im- mediately preceding report from the Park Hospital terminated, ‘there was an almost continuous re- ception of cases requiring medical aid, but it was not until the late morning of yesterday that any additional cases of prostration by sunstroke were received, As soon asthe ambulance brought for- ward the first, however, the erepeene Dr. Hardy took charge of the case, and all the recognized means of restoring the patient were applied. Later in the day, and as the heat increased, so did the ‘number of those who had been stricken down. There were no additional deaths, however, until some time after noon, and that case brought out the extent to which the prevailing heat has tested the means provided by the Com- missioners of Charities and Correction, who have these hospitals under their charge. The man, James Ryau, was dead, and there was another patient ready to take his place on the bed, but the “dead wagon” had not arrived, and there was not a single “box” left in which to place the body, nor was there a wagon there to bear it away to the Morgue, Soon afterward, however, the wagon arrived, bringing the ‘‘bomwes’’ which had been ordered, and in that regard asl was con- the trusty horse, has suffered much from this heated term. To state the numberof horses all over the city and suburbs that have succumbed or have died Would be impossible, but the number must be very large. Some estimate may be formed’ of it by secing what has been the damage @ r~ ing the past few days on the cit: is. ‘On the Third avenue line four horses died on ay, and three reeeniats and siuce the heated term Fa in there have been in all about seventy-five on sick list. On the Fourth avenue line is is aid that only one _ horse died and about four were prostrated. The horses on the East Broadway, Cinton street and the Cortlandt street routes, though many gave way, have held out well, only three in ali, so far, having died. On the west side of the c! ty the Eighth feokahare avenue lines have escaped with little there being no death yesterday and the prostra- tion throughout being very little. ‘This wasdue ina Ee measure to the management of tke company keeping over until the cool of the evehing the horses that had done the half trips in the peels On oP Broadway line but little loss was experl- enced. A word may here be seid abont ice, ae that com- Modity is just now an essential to existence. So far as can be learned, the price per hundred has been generally advanced, either from twenty to twenty-five cents, or from twenty-five to thirty cents, At Washington Market the latter advance has been made all over. Many of the companies have also advanced the weekly price for the supplying of fawilics. It is, however, right to say that some of the companies dény that any undue advantage has been taken of the heated term, for, firstly, vevoral companies have not put on any advance at oii, and eecondly, the highest advance put op is only the maximum price on the scale of prices agreed on by the trade in spring. Trade ep to eight or tendays ago being very dull, the minimum price only had been asked. Itis certain that the advance is not general in the case of cus- tomers who have been consumers all the season, while it is also true that those who are now. tran- sient customers have got to pay ali that can be got from them, Below will be found a description of some of tho scenes which are to be witnessed in connection with this continued story of direful fate, which really felis but a tithe of all the grief and joss the crushi- iog heat has brought us. Yesterday’s record added to the roll, already long, 131 cases of suustroke, 70 of which were fatal, Scenes at the Morgue. Approaching the Morgue yesterday from the dl- fection of Third avenue one met a deathly odor borne up by the breeze blowing from the river, This odor, almost imperceptible at first, grew to be @ sickening, almost overpowering, stench as the entrance to the dead house was reached. The usual crowd of chidren—squalid, dressed in rags, and with marks of @ morbid, persistent curiosity upon their faces—were gathered about the door of the pubilc hall and stood peering through the tron gute below. As from time to time a wagon ap- peared bringing a rough box containing a body these littie ones had to be rudely pushed away, and they scattered as buzzards do when disturbed at their feast on the Western plains. Entering the open door to the vault where bodies are jaid*on the stone slabs and under splashing water to await the recognition of friends whose inquiries or fears may lead them there, the HERALD reporter found three corpses exposed behind the railings. The body of a woman, with her face: which might have been very comely in life, turned towards the light, was upon the first slab. The next supported a larger and older woman, who was perhaps forty years of age, and who, had she lived & little longer, would have doubtiess become a sidered safe for the day, The above incident aided in covets. another want, and one which should sureiy be not suffered to continne longer. The extent of the district re- lying upon this hospital for the care of patients nas already been noted, and there is but one ambulance and horse with which to respond. to the calls by pee from the various police stations within the district named. This causes both the horse and the ambulance attendants to be over- worked, and frequently causes very serious delay, and, should the heated term continue or return, as it most assuredly will, there should certainly be at barons another ambulance and more than another orse. Another unpleasant feature of the unfortunate condition ts the positive necessity for the removal of the bodies at the earliest moment possible after death. Last evening, very soon after James Sweeney had died, bis friends called, and, on as- certaining the fact of his death, hastened to @ sexton to ane for the care and removal of the body. They were gone less than an hour, but before they returned the condition of the remains had so greatly changed as to render their immediate removal to Bellevue an imperative ne- cessity, and before the friends and sexton returned they were on their way, and preparations for burial were, therefore, delayed until the required “permit” can be obtained. This caused the most | tage regret among his friends, but it conld not have been avoided, Among the mourners during the day there were none whose case was more ainfully atfecting than that of the daughter of james Ryan, who came, with a relative, as soon as his sickness was known, but did not reach the hospital until after his demise. The shock which the announcement of his death produced upon the young woman, his daughter, was painful to wit- ness, #8 was the form in which her.woe found ex- pression to hear. While het a | her hands, she ‘was voiceless; but at length she became still, and, looking up sorrowfully in the face of Mr. Brown, in charge, she exclaimed:—“‘And was there no one near him to speak to or comfort him?’ The man- ner of her expression Lg tears to the eyes of even the attendants, who have become accustomed toguch scenes, and all joined in giving her assur- ance that he had received every possible care. At the Coroners’ Office. For several hours yesterday crowds of people thronged the Coroners’ office clamoring for certifl- cates of death upon which they could bury the rapidiy decomposing remains of their reiatives and friends who had failen victims to the intense heat of the weather. During the day not jess than sixty cases, most of which were from sunstroke, were reported at the Coroners’ office, but some of the deaths have heretofore appeared in the columns of the Heratp, In the disposition of these cases great haste is required, as decomposi- tion sets in so rapidly, and, therefore, in the exist- ing emergency unusual promptitude should | be observed by the Coroners and _ their deputies. Coroners Herrman and_ Schirmer were kept busy from early morning till late at night. ats the continuance of this extraordi- nary heated term the public interests would be greatly subserved by having ail the Coroners on duty ata time, and even then some bodies will re- main so long unburied as to become very offensive and dangerous to the public health. Victims Reported by the Police. The following persons were prostrated by the heat yesterday and succored by the police :— Nelly F , thirty-eight years of age, was found opposite 8 East Broadway and sent to the Park Hospital. Joseph Lodnscher, thirty-four years of age, was discovered at Forty-sixth street, near Fourth ave- nue, and sent home, Samuel Bolen, thirty years of age, of 405 Wash- ington street, was found on the corner of Green- mother. The third corpse was that of a man of thirty or thirty-five years of age. These bodies were covered with the usual black oilskin screen, leaving the head bare to the spray of the ceasclessly dripping water. They had fallen ju the streets, overpowered by the heat—one of them yesterday and one during the afternoon or | evening previous. From time to time some poor man or agroup of ‘women, with troubled, earnest, deprecating looks and eyes filling with tears, would enter with un- vertain eteps, and finally, as if bya great effort, vend theireyes upon the bodies, Afier >» searching glance they would turn away *‘:h an wr of mixed relief and doubt. The sight was too shock- dog for tiem to linger long, and they soon wandered ot down tie street, still searching vaguely, long- ingly for their missing ones, ‘assing through the gateway of Bellevue Tos- pital, incessantly opening and shutting for the re- ception or departure of the ambulances, which passed at intervals of five or ten minutes, the re- porter went to the rear of the dead house. Here the stench was trightful. In the open court ‘were five large cofins, each containing the body of # man Or Woman, and two containing infants, One lying near the centre of the court beld the corpse ofa man taken yesterday from the river at the foot of Ninety-second street. . ‘the body was atly ewollen and discolored and the head black a8 ink.

LIVINGSTONE. Comments of the Press on the Latest Despatches. [From the New York Standard, July 3.) 4 NOBLE TRIUMPH, Americans who acknowledge no sovereign pay ready homage to public service. We are not slow to acknowledge our indebtedness to those whose achievements in art, science or literature have ben- efited mankind. We erect our statue to Morse be- fore his death, and we honor Fulton as we use his imvention. So, too, we applaud the noble enter- prise of our great newspaper, the HERALD, in send- ing an efficient expedition into the remote, unknown Wilds of Africa to discover the explorer Dr. Livingstone, and to extend our knowledge of African geography. In thé Old World such an undertaking would only have been fitted out by royalty, but in republican America our leading journals have more power and far greater influence than the head of many monarchies. The HERALD has made for itself the position of the greatest of newspapers by the constant exercise of legitimate journalistic enterprise. Wherever on the face of the round earth there is news, there are the repre- sentatives of the HERALD to report the facts, Its correspondents during our late war often were in ad- vance of the commanders on either side in discover- ing and hivtplinaes 3 material facts bearing on mili- tary operations. Its last triumph is its greatest. To send a party hundreds of miles into the almost im- penet avis wilderness to search for the great travel- ler Livingstone for the enlightenment of its readers and the general public is a work which justly chal- lenges our admiration, Yesterday brought the HERALD its complete triumph in despatches from its correspondent, detailing his meeting with Dr. Livingstone, after most serious checks and hard- shin; the logs of a considerable portion of his Pa ies by the hostility of the native tribes, and dis- couragements which would have ap alled any but the bravest men. After a long struggle the HERALD Commissioner found Livingstone 1,000 miles from the shore, on the banks of a large inland lake, seine their forces they together explored a large district of country here- tofore unknown to civilized men, and the HeraLD representative returns to make Known the results of the investigation, while the persistent Living- stone remains to complete the exploration of Cen- tral Africa and solve the question of the sources of the Nile, which for centuries has baffled scholarship. He finds the true head of the sacred river in the Chambezi—a river which toward its source 13 known ag Lualaba. He has traced this 700 miles, and when some two hundred miles from its re- pos source his supple beceme exhausted, and ie was powerless for farther work till succored by the HERALD correspondent. The report that Liv- ingstone was dead had been spread by his treach- erous retainers, who deserted him. The HERALD yesterday printed a fine large Maa of Equatorial Africa, displaying truly the grand discoveries ot the none band of explorers, whose most prominent nameé is Livingstone, and containing all the contri- butions of the last decade to the geography of that interesting region. {From the Newark Advertiser, July 2.) The HeRALD's enterprise in sending Mr. Stanley on an exploring expedition into the heart of Equa- torial Africa in search of the lost traveller, Dr. David Livingstone, is in every respect a remarkable at- tempt and achievement, As an instance of jour- nalistic enterprise, a means of making money—in the long ran—by accomplishing a most honorable act in which all the civilized world has active sym- pathy, it is unparalleled. It wa: undertaken upon @ chance, a series of vague probabilities, as to whether Livingstone was yet aiive,as to whether a kerosene lamp, has also died, §T,. AGNES ACADEMY. Third Annual Distribution of Premiums— Interesting Exercises, ‘The third annual distribution of premiums at St, Agnes Academy took place yesterday afternoon. This institution is in charge of the Sisters of Mercy, and though but a comparatively brief period in ex, istence is in a flourishing condition. The buildings occupied by the community are spacious, and oc- cupy & most salubrious situation on Eighty-first street, near Central Park, and the pupils, numbering about seventy, who yesterday ap- peared before their relatives and friends, showed that their minds and memories had been weil exer- cised, as both were subjected to trying tests. Though the hour announced for the commencement of the exercises was three o’clock it was at least an hour after that time before the first part opened. Fortunately for those who were among the punc- tual arrivals, owing to the coolness of the large and well-ventilated room in which they remained seated, they did not suffer much from the heat. ‘The ladies, who were greatly in the majority, en- joyed themselves in partly suppressed conversa- tion, which was discontinued on the arrival of the Archbishop. THE EXERCISES. His Grace was attended by the Rev. Fathers Goecklen, Achambeau, Healy, Kane, Dent, Prahan- ski, McDowell and McNamee and Brother Telion, Mr, Bernard Smyth, President of the Board of Educa- tion, was also among the visitors. The exer- cises were interspersed with musical and literary treats; the programme was selected with consid- erable discrimination, and the interest manifested by the large audience never flagged from its begir- ning to its end, Frequent marks of approval evi- denced the satisfaction of those present as the ex. ercises progressed. The girls were attired in white dresses with bine and red sashes, and their bright eyes and smiling faces betokened true happiness, Singing and instrumental music, those two delightful branclies of study, seem to have received the greatest attention, judging by results, It appeared evident that the instructions in both were thorough. In some dificult instrumental pieces there was evidenced correctness of touch and effective execution. The vocal performances were eé ly good, Misses V. Beringer, A. Mott and Mary (. Dwyer possess fine voices, ‘and promise, by suitable cultivation, to become excellent vocal- ists, After the opening chorus and salutatory by Miss Beringer the Archbishop placed floral crowns on the heads of thirty young ladies, who had earned that distinction. The programme, besides presen- tations of premiums for excelicnce in studies, then followed :— “La Ballerino”—Performers, Misses F. Horan, J. Brophy, M. Cusick, A. O'Connor, & Lawrence, T. Aniene: gar, 8, Bennett, K. Doyle, “heita Gentill’—Solo, Miss M. Stanley, Chorus, Misses F. Horan, M. Cusick, A. Torranee. Trio Frangais—MiwesV. Beringer, F. Horan, M.

One ofthe most pleasing features of the pro- ‘amme was the operetta “Grandma's Birthday.” rifteen young girts came forward to sustain the characters in the piece. Their ages ranged alithe way from eight to fifteen years, and their apparel, spot- less white, relieved by biue and red sashes, gave to them 4 most interesting appearance. It would be diMenit to avoid noticing the tastefulness, not to say the richness, of their dresses, even to the satin gaiters. that encircied their | diminu- tive feet. Misses A. O'Connor, S, Martinol, ¥. Mastin, L, Beringer, J. Killeen, M, MoFadden, M. Connery, N. Geraty, J. O'Connor, M. Kennedy, R. Shandley, L. Dusseldorf, H. Geraty and A. Conner; were the girls who sustained the characters an chorus, and they acquitted themseives with marked credit. The singing was most pleasing, and the action incident to the vocal dialogue well ren- dered, Most of the littie ladies wore foral crowns and held in their hands bouquets. The theme of “Grandma's Birthday’ was to show the beauty of the reciprocal affection between grandmother and grandchildren, VOCAL AND INSTRUMENTAL EXERCISES. Following this was tle presentation to Miss Jen- Stanley himself could live througn, ana anal it proposed to do that in which the Royal ition Geographical Society had failed when it had all the aids of experience and money in fitting out a well- equipped expedition, The preliminary news of its triumph has already reached us, and to-day the HERALD has copious despatches from London an- nouncing the arrival there of Stanley's letter and reports, * It is to be presumed that Dr. Livingstone, refusing to return with labors incom. plete, has furnished Mr. Stanley with the important results of what he has already accomplished. Somo data are given in the cable despatches. His further explorations are expected to occupy two years, when he will make his way out of the country. [From the Philadelphia Post, July 3,1 There is something almost sublime in the meeting between Livingstone and Stanley in the deserts of Africa. The noble old man was in the midst of bar- barians, poor and alone. For many months he had not looked upona face that beamed with intelll- gent sympathy, or could appreciate the sacrifice which he had made in the cause of science. He lived in a world of his own, peopled with his own ambition and noble thoughts, and surrounded with misfortune which we cannot appreciate. Stanle was the representative of the world of civiil- zation which reverenced the name of the great explorer, and was hoping for his safety and watchin, anxiously for the tidings of the successful accomplishment of his work. Livingstone in his solitude heard a voice speaking his name in his own language, and it is no wonder that “his features lit up with a smile” as Stanley said, “Dr. Livingstone, I presume.” The New YorRK HERALD may well congratulate dteelf upon the complete success of its expedition, We believe that the idea was conceived by the present owner of the HERALD, and he deserves the Vighest raise for his liberality and cosmepolitan spirit, There can be no dount tliat Stanley has before this furnished Livingstone with the means to continue his labors in Africa, and if he lives to complete the exploration that he here for the next two ears he will undoubtedly owe much to the HERALD for iis ability to do 80. {From the Boston Traveller (“‘Doubting Thomas"), ‘ July 2) “Stanley” has*been heard from again, and this time, with wonderful stories of adventures to him- sett, comes a report of iis meeting with Dr. Living- stone and their explorations in company during the month that followed. The news from Stanley is told in another column, and though it, reads a little like a chapter from Munchausen, neither editor nor ee can gay how much of it is true or how much false. [From the Utica Herald, Joly 3.) THE GRANDEUR OF SIMPLICITY. How grand is the simplicity which characterizes the successful finale of many great movements or enterprises! No matter what turmoil, what ex- citement, what struggies for existence may have attended the inception and the prosecution, the moment of culmination is often sublime, because of its apparent apathy and nothingness. A man of geographical fame carries the scientific war into the heart of Africa, The wonders of his discov- eries are equalied only by their Weg inutility. He pow old in the service of an Baga geo- raphical society, As the bow which is always pent will at last break, so the man who spends his best _years in a struggie for the interior will reach it, e years roll on. The interior is found, but where is it, and where is the finder? Though lost to ment, he is still dear to the memory of the geo- raphical society and to a New York newspaper. n expedition made up of mules, horses, Arabs and men search for the finder of the interior. Villages stand in their way, and the blood of the inhabitants stain the water courses of Ujijl, The inhabitants in turn ambush the Arabs. It was a day of-carnage in the realms of ML. rambo, There are encampments and fortific tions and the American flag. Mirambo retre: Four hundred miles of arid silicates lie before mules and men. ‘The silicates are placed behind them.~ These are the suburbs of Ujijl, The mules and men enter with shouts, shots an e American flag. The Ujijians hail the incoming host with vol- leys of vocal musketry. All this is the record of in- ception and prosecution, It has been one prolonged act of excitement, tur! id danger.
