COLD WAVE BOUND EASTWARD. The Present Spell Is Not Up to the Rec ord of 1S76 List of Deaths and Fros trations Both Cities Brooklyn's Percentage of Mortality Much Less Than in New York Police Doing Excellent Service in the Milder Cases. The hot spell is about over, for the present i at least Mr. Emery, who is in charge of the weather bureau New York in the absence of Local Forecaster Dunn, said this morning: "It will be appreciably cooler tu night, with possibly a thunder eaower, but it will be cool er whether we have the thunder shower or not. wiil be still cooler to morrow, when the indications are for local thunderstorms, The temperature will be considerably lower this evening.

Cooler weather is now srevail ing in many parts of the country. "The extremes of the weather at o'eiock this morning were at Norfolk. where the thermometer registered SO degrees, a.ncl at Helena, where the people were again 1 obliged to put on their overcoats, 4S degrees being as high as the mercury could climb. Havre and Miies City. and Williston.

IS. were also enjoying the same conditions of temperature, the thermometer marking 4S degrees. The temperature was three degrees cooler at o'clock this morning than it was at the same hour yesterday. This morning at that hour the humidity registered 77 degrees, as against C'J yesterday a't the same time, but at noon the humidity bad gone down to E3. degrees, with no indication of its rising, but with ali probability of its going lower, because at noon a northwest wind was blowing at the rate of ten miles an hour.

In comparison with a southwest wind yesterday 'which had a velocity of only five miles an hour. "The temperature at 11 o'clock yesterday morning marked t'l degrees and the same time to day it had fallen ui $5. In the past twenty four hours there have been many thunder storms in the lake region and the jyeather is much cooler in the Northwest." At Chicago at o'clock this morning the was 72 degrees; St. Paul, 60; Salt Lake City 64; Cincinnati. 74; Muorehead City, 54; Galveston, S2; Philadelphia, SO; in this vicinity, 7S." Much ha been said abrmt the duration of this period and comparisons have been made and statements put forth that It was the longest and hottest of any in many years.

The records at the weather bureau, as exam ined "by the reporter for the Eagle this morning, show that, a hot spell started in on June 1S76, and lasted until July 21, the thermo meter registering SS as a starter and" remaining around these figures. 05. 90, 93 being record fir many of the days. The humidity also was nit behind in its work, going up to keep the temperature company. Conditions in Brooklyn.

The condition of affairs in the city to day is less depressing. There have been fewer cases qt prostration and if the mortality from the heat is comparatively greater than on Tuesday, it is encouraging to reflect that this mortality can be traced to the pas: id the. present condition of the atmosphera.lt isalsa noticeable. and a medical man drew the reporter's attention to the fact i day, that Brooklyn is a healthier city, apparently, than New Tork, for the per centage of deaths to the reported cases of insolation is much greater in that city than here. There Is not such a free circulation of pure air in the larcer city and the conditions of life in the crowded tenement house districts arc much moije disc jur "Sging to the sanitarian.

"xJ3tit In spite of all this Brooklyn has been iSjiffering very severely. There were for the twenty four hours ending at midnight no less than 1S4 calls for ambulances received at police headquarters; so many, indeed, that the ambulance sen ice of the city cnuid not begin to' handle them all. Manv of the calls were attended by the polir patrol wagons and the pouce rendered distinguished service as an auxiliary medical cirps. The benefit of the first aid to the injured lessons that the policemen have been receiving from Dr. Plympton and other physicians during the, winter, was apparent, for some of the cases handled by the policemen with marked skill.

Of I course, in' cases that were at all serious the patient was hustled off to the nearest hos pital; but in several instances it was found that the sufferer was not severely stricken. In such cases the ordinary restoratives were administered and the invalid was removed to his home. The coroners have been kept busy ni.stht and day. Yesterday each of the coroners held thirty Inquests and to day, when Coroner Coombs started off on his unir he had thirty case on tbe list. There at least "thirty of these cases attributable to the heat.

So far the record at the health office does not show a very serious death rate from the heat d'Irectly. On Sunday but cme death from insolation was reported among the certificates received; on Monday the number had Increased to seven, and yesterday there were twenty seven. Up to noon to day there were seventeen cases of death from insolation reported. Police officials are anxious about the horses of the department, which have been suffering because of the increased work forced upon them. This morning Deputy Superintendent Mackellar Issued Instructions to the drivers of the patrol wagons riot to their horses, except in cases of great emergency.

There have been a large number of horses stricken in the city since the great heat, but bo far the police horses have escaped serious injury. The offal contractor has found it almost Impossible to attend to all the calls for the removal of dead animals, and the consequence has been that there has been an unavoidable delay in removing some of the carcasses. The approach of the cold wave will give the contractor an opportunity to catch up with his work. The following is a list of the deaths and prostrations from heat in Brooklyn since midnight: Deaths in Brooklyn. Brombach.

The Elisha Glbbs left Newport News on March 1 with a cargo of coal for Now Bedford, Mass. She was manned by the captain and seven men. When off Absecom the schooner was stripped of her canvas by a gale of wind, her boats were swept away, she became unmanageable and was obliged to run before the gale, leaking badly.

The Scottish Prince hove in sight, when the schooner, had but a few hours to float and, being asked for assistance, the steamer responded promptly and lowered a boat, which, with great difficulty, hauled four men of the Elisha Gibbs on board. When but a short distance from the Scottish Prince on the return trip for' the remainder of the schooner's crew the life boat was capsized; but another boat was quickly lowered and tbe half drowned men were picked up. Later the second boat rescued the remainder of the crow of the Elisha Gibbs and they were eventually landed at St. Michaels, where they embarked on board the British steamer Klngswell, bound for New York, and reached that port on April 14.

She lives at 488 Adelphi street and the couplo arrived at the place about 11 o'clock.

When he did awakejie discovered that he was minus his coat and vest and a later hunt found the articles of clothing in near proximity to Miss Smith, who was sitting in the kitchen. Mr. Hendricks took the coat and vest and demanded S40 iu money which ho said should have gone with them. Mius Smith protested innocence and absolute lack of knowledge of the whereabouts of tho money, and, when Hendricks became noisily indignant, she followod suit by threatening to break a bottle over his head if he did not get out.

The. Kellners, she said, did no work while the children wero sometimes sent out to. beg. The) only food left for them yesterday was' a few cold potatoes, some dry bread and unpalat ably wamn water and this, Mrs. Von Grechen said, was as good as the food usually left the children.

The house is a two story frame one with two families on each floor. Th other tenants corroborated Mrs. Von Grechen The officers then left. At 9 o'clock the parents returned to the house. They learned from the neighbors of what had occurred and concluded to leave to avoid arrest.
