INGERSOLL AND ICE.
The Sunday Question Brought 70 the Sur
EAce-Mr. Tenney's Wind-Msll.

Attorney Riddle has not yet communl-
Gated to the District Commissioners his views re-
garding the point raised by Mr.. Tenney, of George
town, whether Bob Ingersoll should be permitted
to lecture for pay on Sundays, when Mr.. Tenney is
obliged to stop his mill.
MR.. TENNEY's WINDMILL.
The following communication from Mr.. L. Q. C.
Smith touching upon the subject was received yes
terday by the District Commissioners:
The Baltimore Sun correspondent, speaking OF
Tenney Ingersol, says: 1.-The question to be con-
sidered by the attorneys Office is by what right does
a windmill run Sunday, when water-miu IS
stopped by law" This correspondent does not seem
to know that Mr. Tenney besides being part owner OF
water-mill has vested entirely in himselfa wind
mill of considerable power, which is run seven full
days each week. Now as no one has interfered to
stop the Tenney windmill, by what right does Mt.
Tenney interfere to stop the IngersOn wind-mhlZ
This is another question which trust the attorney
office will carefully consider. Please give the Suns
correspondent the benefit of this communication.
REFERRED FOR LEGAL ADVICE.
The paper was gravely inspected by the author
tiles and then duly briefed and jacketed and sent
to the Office of the attorney to swell the pile OF
papers which he will have to perspire over during
the hot spell. If Mr.. Tenney is running wind
mill the fact does not appear the records of the
license office, and the matter will probably be re-
ferred to the Treasurer for investigation.
AN ICE MANS PLEA.
Mr.. Riddle will probably have to make thor
ough review of the Sunday laws in the District as
another phase of the question was brought up yes
terday by Dir. John Leetch, the treasurer of the
Washington and Georgetown Ice Company, of
Georgetown. In letter to the Commissioners, he
submits to their consideration "the necessity of
enforcing the law which prohibits the carrying on
of mercantile or other business pursuits on the
Sabbath day. In the business of selling and dis
tributing ice," he says, 1.-The men and horses thus
employed are necessarily required to enter upon
the work of each day early four o'clock a. m,
and continue till long after dark before the labors
of the day are completed. This being the every
day custom for
SIX DAYS IN THE WEEK,
submit that it is unjust and positively cruel both
to men and horses, thus engaged to require, or in
so far as your authority will prevent, to allow any
party or firms to have their wagons the streets
distributing ice on Sunday" Mr.. Leetch says that
some of our prominent ice dealers arc much op-
posed to Sunday work, and suggests that the pub
lie wants could be supplied by having two deliV-
cries on Saturday.

RE-ESTERIES.
THE HOT WAVE,
Something AbOut Yester;iay-s Weather
Washington Not Specially Favored.

1t will be of general interest to know
that the warm weather is very general throughout
the country. It prevails in the South Atlantic re-
gion, Ohio Valley, Middle States, and lower lake
region. In the New England States, through the
West and northwest cooler weather prevails. In
Washington the temperature rose yesterday seven
teen degrees after seven o'clock, and the maximum
temperature was go. The following is the maxi
mum temperature in the places named: Albany,
$50 Atlanta $40; Baltimore, $780, Bismarck, 60 Bos-
ton, 500; Burlington, 73o; Cheyenne So; Chicago
S9o Cleveland, $50; Denver, go Duluth, 6Oo; Gal
weston, 500; Memphis, $50: New London SO; Nor
folk, 9lo; Omaha, Go; Philadelphia, S9o; Pittsburg
93o Salt Lake City, ESQ; st. Louis, $50;
St. Paul, 90. The cause of the hot
weather is storm which is pass
ing across the northern portion of the coun-
try. This draws the winds from the south across
the country. In Canada there is rain. The coun-
try region in this section is generally in need of
rain, as there has been none for two weeks
Some weather philosopher suggests that this is a
good thing owing to the large fall of SNOW dur
ing the past winter the Larvae of insects were pro-
tected, but now this hot dry weather will tend to
destroy them. 1t is probable that the warm
weather will continue for some DAYS.

How To Do 1t In 1854.

How the Bourbon element in Congress
regards the attitude of the President toward Sen
ator Conkling is very plainly shown by the follow
ing dialogue which took place between two Dem
ocratic Senator'S in Franklin Square, the other day
within hearing of our reporter: Said Florida to
Delaware Well, we've got them if We can only
succeed in keeping up the fight between Conkling
and the administration Yes said the other,
{" in that way we will kill off Conkling. He is the
hero of the Republican party, and as long as he
leads we have no hope; defeat him now and we
will sweep the country in 1884" "Just So" said
Florida. with Conkling crushed the Republi-
cans can never carry New York. On 'em, we've
got them if we can only keep them fighting long
enough to kill him off" Comment is needless.
