The parents of the young men reside at Bear Creek, the father bi'tng employed as a teamster by Albert Lesvis. The boys were employed St. Petersburg, Aug. 6.—The fate of the general strike, which, although it has affected close to 70,000 men in St. Petersburg, has met with slight response in other sections ol' Russia, probably will be decided with au adverse expression of public opinion. The lack of union among the leaders of the proletariat organizations is working against the success of the movement. 4 f A.  It is said that a large number of the first and second cabin passengers were drowned, their cabins being the lirst to go under water. New York, Aug. 0.—New York city and the surrounding country are still Buffering from the effects of the hottest day or the year. The mercury climbed to !H) degrees and more and stuck there for hours. Added to the heat was an exhausting humidity Which in a giant wave settled over a long strip of the Atlantic seaboard and made llight from the cities only small relief. There was scarcely a spot from Xew Haven to Baltimore where thermometers did not register at lea-it 80, with the humidity record about 1(1 degrees less. The weather man had on his working clothes yesterday, and how he did labor to let the people of this neck o* woods understand that he was still In the hot alt; business. If anybody had any Idea lurking In his mind tfiit this summer was to go on record an an unusually cool one, that idea was quickly dissipated by yesterday's experiences, and the record to-day is not far behind. Since early Sunday morning, things have been sizzling In the Wyoming Valley and telegraphic reports would seem to indicate that the condition prevailing here is general all along the North Atlantic seaboard. Fortunate were those who had sought the cooling breezes of the mountains and lakes over Sunday. In the cities and towns the. sun shone fieercely and there was little or no breeze to temper the atmosphere. People quite generally found the greatest comfort in the shade of their homes, and there was comparatively little promenading or riding on the streets. The weather man started In with a record of 62 degrees at six o'clock In the morning, and the mercury climbed up gradually throughout the morning. At two o'clock in the afternoon the highest point was reached. According to the thermometer at the Water street bridge ollice the mercury registered 92 degrees at that hour, but thermometers at other points in the community registered as high as 94 and 96 degrees during the early afternoon. It was generally felt that such Intense heat would bring on a cooling thunder storm toward evening, but such did not prove to be the case. No storm appeared, and there was comparatively little relief from the Intense heat. Throughout the night It was exceptionally warm, and this morning Old Sol renewed his efforts to burn things up, though the mercury today registered a collide of degrees lower than yesterday. The hot spell has been so unusual that we give the record by hours as shown by the automatic registering thermometer at the Water street bridge office: Disaster Dae to Captain's Desire r to Save Distance, Among the lost are n dozen young women, members of distinguished families In Brazil, who were returning to their homes after finishing their education In Europe.

Survivors Left In Foreign Land Without Food, Clothing or Money—Austrian Diplomat's Narrow Escape After Giving Up Life Belt to Woman and Child—Mothers Compelled to Stand Helpless as Children Drown Before one was saved The railroad men, upon whom the success of the entire movement depends, are still working full time. Many heartrending Incidents are related. A group of six children clambered Into the shrouds of the Sirlo while their mothers were taken off by one of the trawlers. The Sirio sank before the children could be rescued. The mothers, frantic with despair, watched their children as they were engulfed. The children uttered piercing shrieks as they were drawn under the waves. It was with difficulty that the women were restrained from jumping into the sen. Moreover, thore is no promise of immediate relief. The weather bureau predicts continued humidity and high temperature for at least two days more. Even then the spoil may not break, and. following the damp, rainy weather of the past ten days, the country may be in for a long struggle with prostrating heat. No indications have as yet been reported upon which hope for a change can be based. large one and the various members enjoyed the tVunion to the utmost, with little thought of any shadow coming upon them. Sunday afternoon, shortly after dinner, William and George went to the creek, to row and bathe. Iloth were excellent j:\vlpnmcrs. They went to a suitable spot on the shore of the creek, divested themselves of their clothing and for a time disported themselves In the water. Suddenly they began (o splash frantically and In a few minutes both sank to the bottom. The • only witnesses of the drowning were a number of Italians, who were HOate l on the shore of the creek funic distance from the bathers. They did not know that the young men were lighting for their lives until they saw them sink Into the water and the boat floating on the surface.

Montevideo aud Buenos Ayres, with about 772 persons on board, was wrecked off llormigas island. Three hundred emigrants, most of them Italians and Spaniards, were drowned. In New York the suffering was intense!. It was 5 to 10 degrees hotter in the streets than the official records showed. The pavement seemed fairly to breathe up heat like furnaces from sunrise till after sunset. The highest registration was at 2 p. in., when the weather bureau Instruments, which are several hundred feet above the sidewalks, were at !XD degrees. All day, however, it varied little from that ligure.The first break in the ranks of the St. Petersburg strikers occurred when the printers decided to return to work. The employees of several street car lines and river ferries have resumed work. A steady downpour of ruin prevented open air gatherings In St. Petersburg and tile consequent possibility of collisions and disorders.

Diplomat's Heroism The Austrian consul at Rio de Janeiro jumped into the sea wearing a life belt, lie then noticed a woman and child near him on the point of going down, lie gave up his belt to them and tried to swim ashore. He was almost completely exhausted when rescued by a Ashing vessel. Extensive improvements have been made in the tire room. A large section just oUUiide the building lead- Ing to waste pipes has been concreted, so that the floor of the room can be flushed without any trouble. The boilers have been fitted up with the Williams Automatic SaO'ly Feed, making a boiler explosion practically impossible. A new water heater has also been Installed and all water ,1s sent into the boiler warm. An automatic chart is attached to this heater and a record of the temperature of the water at ail hours of the day is kept. This record is sent daily to the headquarters in Dunmore.

Davis has sent notice to the officials of Hugheatown borough that Sunday ball playing in the borough must cease. The burgess could not be seen on the matter this afternoon, but it is certain that if the information has not already been received it will be shortly forthcoming. Sheriff Davis is known to have stated his determination to communicate with Burgess Stahl to New York, Aug. 0. — A sensational story was printed in Pittsburg that Harry K. Thaw was leading a life of ease and luxury In the Tombs. It stated that a Pittsburg man, one Paul Mc- Donald, who had been a prisoner in the Tombs from July 18 until July SI, gave a long and ornamental narrative of Thaw's daily life and the privileges accorded to him. In every detail this story was branded as false by Warden Flynn of the Tombs. 9 a. m.—82. 10 a. m.—84 11 a. m.—86 12 m.—88.

Just as they were alKtut to occupy the boat themselves, another body of«nrmed emigrants came up and a fierce fight for possession of the lifeboat followed. 12:30 p. m.—90 1:30 p. in.—84. / 2 p. m.—86. iter of coke interests and some electric light and water companies, in a number of which Simpson & Watkins held Say Jap8 Will Whip Us. ei controlling interest The Novoe Vreniya, which is the only newspaper appearing except In dodger form, devoted a large portion of its space to an article prophesying war between Japan and the United States and predicting a sure and speedy Japanese victory, the seizure of the Philippines und Hawaii and the occupation by the Japanese of California.
