eee | : \ | 6 000 SUFFER WSTEERIGES Harbor Crowded with New, Arrivals, Who Are Held Up in Stilling Weather, | Owing to Ellis Island Crush. ONE SHIP BREAKS RECORD. Pennsylvania Carries More Steerage Passengers than Were Ever Brought Here on a Liner Before—Most of the Immigrants Booked for West. More than 6,000 immigrants are about the harbor of New York to-day, In the ptif_lng atmosphere of the steerage, @waiting their discharge by the immigra- tHon authorities, Of this number near- ty balf are on the Pennsyivania, which arrived from Hamburg to-day with 2,728 g@tecrage passengers. This is the .irgest pumber brought in by a single snip in two years. A few weeks ago 2.59 steerage pasxen- gers arrived on one boat, and several @hips have carried as high as 1,500 fteerage passengers, but the record for the past two years was made to-day when the Pennsylvania came past Quar- fntine and reported all well to the doc- tor, who went over her side to inquire @fter the bealth of those on board. ‘All these passengers have been aboard the big liners for from eight to ten days. Whe crowded condition of their quarte: @uring the hot spell caused great sufter- | fq, particularly to the women and chil- @ren. The slight breezes stirred up by the motion of the ships helped a little to Rep the air of the steerages tn motion, , put with the big Mpers at a standstill | Gown the bay the steerages become, weeking ovens. ‘Men crowded about the hatchways and women sat with gasping children fanning them im vain efforts to give them com- ‘tort. Over all there was an air of unrest, ‘There were the ill temper and comp.in.e that come with a hot, stufty day. While the condition on the Pennsyl- vapia was a trifle worse and more un- pleasant than that on the other ship: because of tho number of passengers she @arried, everything was done to make ft as agreeable as possible until the !m- migrants were landed on Ellis Island. ‘These big ships brought in steerage passengers to add to the crush at Ellis Ieiand yesterday: Majestic 550, Attivita 481, Aurania 1,100, Gera 920. By this evening the authorities expect to have all the immigrants properly at- tended to. The Jast boats to leave the feland to-day probably will carry most @f those who arrived to-day to various raiitoad stations, as the majority of those who arrived are scheduled to go West. The Pennsylvania also brought two camels and a number of birds and Carl’ Gebhard, a second cabin pas- wenger, died of heart disease and was buried a: sea. His home was at Ham- burg, Germany. Among the cabin passengers were three children of Dr. O'Brien, the American dentist, who was mentioned fm connection with the Princess Louise @lopement. Other passengers were Henry Bonnewell, Forbes Morgan, F. C, Lawrence, Rev C. A. Marshall and Mu- 4on Erwin. OBTAINED BiG LOAN FROM AGED WOMAN.

New York Hospital, It's a Iittle cooler to-day, and for us of the city the prospect of Hfe seems rosler, but the farmer Is still calling for rain, The shower of last evening wasn't enough to wash the dust from the lettuce leaves, and If the farmer had not been out to see It come down he would not have known ten minutes afterward that any rain had fallen. Reports from hospitals to-day show that there are a few cases of heat pros- uations even in the lower temperature of to-day, the surgeons accounting for this by the fact that many persons are still suffering from thé effects of yes- terday's broiling. There was one death to-day fr sunstroke. The victim was james J. Murphy, a boat builder of No. 185 Christopher avenue, Brooklyn. He was at work yesterday at Newtown Creek when he was stricken, Showers occurred yesterday afternoon in Hastern Pennsylvania and from Southern New York southward to the District. of Columoia.

If the clarionet player of the Staten Isiand Band, Lou's Mendt, of Granite- ville, 1s not up to the standard for a few days and there comes from the pipe only a discordant wail instead of sweet notes, his nelghbors w!ll know the reason. Mr. Mendt just now ts suf- fering from a horsewhipping at the hands of Mrs. Augusta Heilrich, and in the home of Mendt there iq not that ppiness and joy that should be in the home of a clarionet player to whom a discord of any «Ind is polain.

To- gether they discuss in the sewing cir- cle of the neighbors their own and other persons’ troubles. ‘Mr, Mendt decided a few days ago that he did not want every time he desired to see his wife to be compelled to «> to the back fenos and call her from Mrs. Helirich's. ‘Mrs. Mendt re- {fused to remain at home all the day, and said as Mra, Helrich was her best friend she did not propase to give her up jut because her husband did nut like her, Mend: went home last evening and found Mrs, Mendt paying Mrs. Hellrich the usual visit, “I don't want her all the time coming over here,” sald Mendt. “I don't Ike you anyway." Mrs. Helirich allowed that Mendt's likes and dishkes were nothing to her, and then added a few words in regard to clarionet. bass-horn players and mus!- cling in general being below the aver- age orde: of Intelligence. Mendt made remarks which Mrs. Hell- tich says justified her next move. She #tooped down in her yard, picked up a stone and threw {it into the face of Mendt. While the cut it inflicted was biveding: Mrs. Helirich was still on the ttack. She ran to a wagon and drew ror it a whip and with this pro- ceeded to cut Mr. Mendt across the back and head, Mendt with a yell broke for his house with Mrs, Hellrich in pursuit, ecutung ie like a_ jockey on a horse in tis str Mr. Mendt finally reached er qe his own house, whie Harlech informed him that she husband who might call around later house here kept by Mrs, Harrington were poisoned by milk containing aiues.
