There were eighty prmlratlons In Brooklyn
yesterday, more than on any day since the
heated term began, but the roll of deaths due
to the heat was not so long, containing only
twenty-one named. The deaths recorded at tho
Health odlce, however, were greater In numbor
than on any day so far this year. Dr. Wct the
Secretary of tho Health Department and the
Registrar of Vital Slut lt lr,accoiinted for t hl by
the fact that tho Intense heat precipitated mnr
tnlltyln tho rat.es of Invalids who tioroon tho
verge of death. At noon yerterdoy 100 doaths
had been recorded at tho Health ofllco. and as
the day worn on several additional certificates
wero received. Tho ewes of death were not nil
from heat but It Is unquestionably a fact that
many deaths that wuro sold to be from other
cati'es wero hastened by the heat.
The amnulanre fturpeons were kept so hnsy
that they were unable to attend to all tlm calls,
and as on Monday tho police patrol nagons
were called Into requisition to take tho afflicted
to the hospitals or to their homes. Tho police
operators at Headquarters were kept so busy
with calls tor ambulances that they were forced
to take their meals at the telephone switch
boards. Business in the city felt the effect of the heat
and the shopkeepers In many cases sent half of
their forces home. In the large faotorles busi
ness was almost entirely suspended, and men
engaged in outdoor occupations knocked off
work early In the morning, when they eaw that
there was no relief In sight Many horses died
In the street. Oddly enough, the Juvenile mor
tality from dlarrhceal diseases has not In
creased In Brooklyn since the hot wave
struck the town.
For the beneQt particularly of the poor. Park
Commissioner Woodruff Issued through the
afternoon papers a general Invitation to the
publloto spend the night In the parks if the
houses were found too warm. Mr. Woodruff
said last night that he had Issued the order
simply as an experiment Many people took
pillows and lighter bed linen to tbe parks and
slept there. Commissioner Woodruff visited
Prospect Park at midnight and made a per
sonal Inspection. Tbe police bad orders to
patrol tbe parks with particular care.

Furnace lor a Dsr.
The work which the New York Association
for Improving the Condition of the Poor Is doing
la such that no one can fall to appreciate It
value, especially In such weathr as this. Life
In thousands of tenement houses has become
literally unbearable, and their tenants have
taken to roofs, yards, balconies, fire escapes, or
to the street in search of some place where sleep
could be had.
Thte condition of things ha been especially
hard upon the children of th poor, and It Is
with these that the association Is now dealing
principally. Its agents keep up constant rounds
of visits to the homes of the poor, and choose
out all the children who seem about to succumb
to the heat and other bad conditions.
These are gathered together three times a
week and sent by boats down the bay to the
homes which the association has established.
Heretofore these children were kept In the
country for two weeks each, but this year the
need is so great that in order to do as much
good as possible, the children are kept but one
week each, but twice the number are helped.
At the homes the children have lessons in
cooking and various other useful things, besides
having lots of time for play. The cost of these
outings Is but 17 cents a day for each child, but
at this cost the association's funds need replen
ishing. Checks may be sent to Warner Van Norden,
Treasurer. 25 Nassau street or to Dr. William

Joseph O. Plank Fnlls TJneenselon at 111
TVeddlas: Feast
Joseph G. Plank of Staten Island and Miss
Annie Bowdeu of 1,055 Halsey street Brooklyn,
were married on Monday night at the Villa
mena Hotel, at Rosebank, Staten Island. An
hour later, while presiding at tho wedding
feast the bridegroom was stricken with the
heat He died yesterday morning. Mr. Plank
hod lived at the VUlamena about seven months.
He was formerly employed as a clerk In a bank
In Canal street, this city. Three months ago he
received a legacy of 150.000 from his father'
estate in Germany and gave up clerking. Early
In the summer Miss Bowden's married sister
boarded at the VUlamena. and there the couple
met He hod a wife In Germany from whom he
had obtained a divorce.
Miss Bowden accepted Plank's offer of mar
riage three weeks ago, and the match was ap
proved by the young woman's relatives. The
hour fixed for the wedding was 0 o'clock on
Monday evening. At that hour the Rev. James
Ii. Sharp of Long Island, who was spending his
vacation on Staten Island, and fifty guests were
on hand, but tbe bride hod not arrived. Plank
became much excited. He ran hatless to the
telegraph office and sent despatches and worked
the telephones in an effort to obtain some tid
ings of the bride. He also visited the railroad
station to meet each Incoming train. Some of
the people at the hotel Bay that they heard him
say that he would commit suicide if Miss Bow
den failed to appear.
Just before 0 o'clock Miss Bowden arrived,
explaining that the delay had been caused by
the breaking down of her carriage. Plank
seemed to recover his self-possession at once,
and the ceremony was performed. When all
were seated at the supper table Plank arose,
pressed his hands to his head, and stared about
blankly. His bride spoke to him, but could ob
tain no Intelligible answer from htm. Some of
the guests got up in time to catch Plank as he
fell. He was carried out on the piazza, and Dr.
Joseph Thompson, who lives near the hotel,
worked four hour In a fruitless effort to save
Plank's life.

HtrsnRBDS OF HORHR KILUSD.
Dose and Cat,Too-Br:h Sestet Asnna
laaeee Busy.
The weather yesterday was harder on horse
than any day within the recolleotlon of the
officials of the Bergh Society or of those havlnr
charge of the removal of dead animal. Ther
worn 140 dead horses removed to the offal dock
at the foot of West Thirtieth street op to O
o'clock last evening. On Monday the record
was ISO dead horses, which was far in advance
of the usual record for this time of the year.
Dnrtng last week the offal contractors removed
1,400 dead cats and dogs from the street. In
the commercial sections of the city there were
prostrated horses on every third block, and In
some Instances there wore two and three In one
block. The ambulance of the nergh Society
have been keptgolng continuously for the past
three days, and hive answered no less than 300
calls during that time. Whernter a fallen ani
mal was seen a crowd githered around to watch
tho efforts of the driver to resusclla'e It. There
wero plenty of persons eager to help tho prot
traied animals, but little can be done for a
hotioln tins condition.
In the streen adjacent to the freight depots
the number of prost i tied horses was enough to
alarm tho most confident citizen. On every
side groups of men and hoys standing In a circle
In the street told the noryof the effect tbe
high temperature was having on the horse.
The change frrm horse to motive power on the
two principal street railway companies In tho
city saved the lives of many animals. It was
aldat the Second avenue car stables that tho
company had lost 1 8,000 woi th of horses during
tho hot spell. This represents nearly fifty
hones. The brewers' horses suffered yesterday
more than anybody else's.
" It Is a peculiar fact" said Superintendent
Hanklnson of the Bergh Society, "that on the
first day of the hot spell tho horses most affeoted
were thos belonging to express and vender'
wagons. Thoy continued to be affected more
than others until to-day, when the brewery
horses began to succumb. The latter are
stronger than any other class, and are pressed
harder for this reason. They are overworked
to tbe last degree, and finally drop In their
tracks for lack of care."
"Ihls hot season has been tbe hardest on
horses during the twentv-lhree year that I
have been connected with tho society." con
tinued Superintendent Hanklnson. "I cannot re
call a time when ne received so many calls for
our ambulances. We have only got two am
bulances for horses, anil these hav been going
night and day ever since the hot spell set In.
The eight officers nave had but little rest The
work of transferring a burse In the ambulance
to our hospital, or to the owner's stable.
Is a very laborious task, eveu with the
ambulance, and wo have only been able to
answer about 150 of tbe 300 calls which we re
ceived with our limited ambulance facilities.
The telephone here has been ringing almost
constantly for the last three days with request
to send our ambulances to points all over town,
from the Battery to Harlem, to take care of sick
and prostrated horses. We have been doing tho
best we could, but have simply been swamped
with the large number of calls.
"The great trouble Is that Inexperienced
drivers Just goad their horses Into prostration.
As soon as the animal begins to show
signs of failgus, such as drooping Its head
and laying back Us ears, the inexperienced
driver piles the sad. and the poor beast
Is forced on ,r.ntll it totters and drops.
If these drivers allowed their animals to
stood for half an hour In the shade and blow
they would recover all right The experienced
driver will stop his horse as soon as the animal
shows signs of fatigue, nnhltch It from the
truck, and cool It off with water. The animal
recovers qulrkly. and then the driver may go
on. The American horses which are In use
here will go on If they are goaded until they
drop dead In their tracks.
"Some horse owners and drivers are consid
erate enough to lay their horses off for a day
after such a hot day as we had yesterday, and
thus save them from prostration. Others pro
tect the animals by keeping wet sponges or felt
hats on their heads. The horse should have as
much protection in hoi weather as a human
being, as they are affected In the same manner.
"We have three wagons gathering In cats and
dogs, and the average for the last tbrse days has
been fifty dogs and nearly 300 cats each day.
Many citizens take care of sick cats or dogs un
til our wagons get around, while others take
them to headquarters.
" Besides moling the horses' heads with water
they should be kept In the open air If suffering
from the effects of tbe heat Another abuse of
the horse in such weather as this by Inexperi
enced drivers Is that they do not water their
horses ptoperly. Many will let the horses drink
their fill, and then drive them for four or five
hours beforo watering them again. They should
be allowed to drink all tbe water they want at
stated Intervals. The water should be at Its
natural temperature."
The watering trough In front of the society's
headquarters was well patronized yesterday.
Trucks, cabs, nnd wagons stcod In line almost
all day, and It was refreshing to see the drivers
bathe tbIr horses' heads and their own alter
nately In tho trough.
The hospital of the College of Veterinary Sur
geons at 154 East Fifty-seventh street has been
a busy place during the last three days. There
were call, for surgeons all through tbe day and
night. Dr. Richardson, the house snrgeon. bad
very little sleep. Most of tbe calls were for
horses prostrated by tne heat

man's way. If the trouble came on ths
boom Johnson waa just as Buro. His ess uu
keen, his blow certain nnd might vi bis
foot sure. But to tho best of them there corns
Jlrllcultles that bring great dangers, an I sooner
or later tbe boom opens In n place where no

Johnson caution. His courage was ns fine u
htsframo wus big, and when the jnm a too
much for the men, tho giant fjremnn would
send them all away and go In alone to hustle
the obstreperous logs.
When the Inst season opened there came to
work In Johnson's gang a brand new Mvcle
who found nlmoet as much difficulty with ths
Brest logs as he did with the quirks and twits
of the English tongue. He had been at work
only afcv weeks, and Johnon was only utt
beginning to get him licked Into 'hate wlien
the acotdent came, Ther were working on
tremendous boom, sorting out logs of par
ticular sire for a particular kind of lcmUr
on n special contract It was the hirdest Kind
of hard work and Johnson was dri Ing Ms
men as much as he could, Thu new Sned
cot Into a tight place and Johnson stnrtelto
help him. A treacherous log rolled: the boom
opened for a second just far enough to let ths J
big foreman sm-sh through: there wus a little f
splosh as he sank; then the boom rloed again
and Johnson was gone. The new Swe-iegot
out of his own difficulty nnd wen' on with his
work. The other men of the gang were far
away and had not seen tho accident Work K
went on just as usual.
The new Swede watched the place lybe'e i
the big foreman went out of sight, but .iohn- H
son did not come back. Ho waited an hour,
and still the foreman was missing. He had H
been taught In a hard school the hard le'sua H
that what Johnson did was right. w)m'eerlt
might be, and he argued to hlmclf that if the B
foreman chose to dive under the boom and M
come up somewhere else that was tho lore- M
man' business and not his. But after another 9
hour light began to dawn on him. He looked
at tbe olace where Johnson went throuch for H
a long time and scratched his white bead as It
uz7llng over a difficult proposition. At Ivt
io dropped his work and started alowlv acrns
tho boom toward the superintendent's office.
A few minutes later the busy superintendent
was astonished at being interrupted In bis
work by tho new Swede and hearing him say:
"Vaell, I tank Yoneon he qvlt."
The superintendent looked up in amaze
ment and exclaimed:

English ver gude. Vonn I can splk English
vcr gude, den may be I tell it better, den 1
tank Yunson he qvlt."
"Why, of course Johnson hasn't quit." d
clared the superintendent. Irrationally bst
humanly beginning to got angry at tbe log
ger's stupidity. "Johnson line been with us
for teu years. Of course he hasn't quit He s
gone away somewhere. What do you want''"
"Den 1 tank he qvlt," answered the Imper
turbable Swede.
The superintendent stood up.
"I not splk English ver guile," bvan th
Swede, bnt the superintendent lnterrup'ed
brusquely: '
"Where is Johnson?" he said.
"I show you," replied the logger.
With the Swede leading tho two men scram
bled out over the boom. The sunerlnk-nnent
had the agility of experience, and he followed
his leader closely. The Swede pointed out
the war straight to the place whero Johnson
fell. He caught hts big working bar and cava
tho treacherous log a twisting shove. It rolled
a bit and the boom opened. The water was
clear nnd the bottom hard white sand.
Stretched out on It at full length lay Johnson,
fac down. Ills heavy clothes and great toots
weighted him down, and perhnps, too, he had
hit hts head on a log as he went down. Tlm
superintendent looked a long time. It was th

away the new Swede said:

WAsniNOTON, Aug. 11. No other Govern
ment balldlng in Washington was built with
greater deference to the purely class'cal In
architecture than tho United Mates Treasury.
People who have made Grecian ruins their
study havo placed the Treasury among tbe fore
most of the imposing classical buildings of th
world. The beautiful perspective of the rol
umn on the Fifteenth street side are seen In
every book of architecture of Importance, and
Its severely plain facades and cornices lend to
Its stately outline. The interior of the building
is hardly less Interesting, In s ime respects al
though its rooms are not so large aid ornate
nor its corridors so wide nnd lorty as tno-e of
lie State. War. and Navy buildings.
A most Imp rtant feature of the interior ere
the central staircases, whloh connect the floors
In the middle of the Fifteenth street ride and
the opposite facade toward the lute liur.
These staircases aro spiral, and are iiilln;uin
ed by tho fact that there Is uo sutuort at
outer balustrade, and they seem 1 1 lie resvun: 011
