Bills, Etc.
WASHINGTON. April %.

WASHINGTON. April q.
In the House of Representatives tomorrow.
after the usual call of States and Territories
for the introduction of bills, the committee
on the District Of Columbia will be entitled
to the floor. The continued consideration
will be asked for the bill providing for a free
bridge across the Potomsc, which was left as
unfinished business on the l4th inst. The
friends of the tariff bill expect that Tuesday
Wednesday and Thursday will be devoted to
the consideratine of that measure. The ap-
preparation committee may. however, ask the
consideration of the District of Columbia and
consular and diplomatic appropriation bills,
both of which have been reported to the
House. Friday will be devoted to the dis
cussien of private bills The bill to amend
ian act to execute a certain treaty of stipula-
tions relating to the Chinese has been made
a special order for Saturday.
The unfinished business of the Senate is
the pleuro pneumonia bill. Senator Plumb
has given notice that he will ask the Senate
to vote on it before adjournment tomorrow.
The next measure in order, the only special
order on the calendar, is the Senate shipping
bill. This measure has been delayed to await
the action of the House on the Dingley bill.
1t was the purpose of the friends of the Sem
ate bill in case the House sent them the
Dugiey bill in form which met approval,
to move its substitution in the Senate for
their own.
The adoption of the free shipping amend
ment by the House, has, it is understood,
defeated this purpose. and it is now probable
that Senotor Frye will ask the Senate to pro-
ceed to the discussion of the Senate bill as
soon as the pleuro pneumonia bill is out of
the way. 1t is understood to be the intention
of Hoar to ask the consideration of the bill
relating to bigamy. better known as the Nor
mon bill, as soon as the shipping bill is dis
posed Of Matters of general legislation will
probably be displaced for day or two during
the week by the Indian bill, and it is possible
that the agricultural and pension bills may
be reported j n season for action before the
end of the week.

THE END OF A SPREE.
Th" Story Of Mr.. and Mrs. Ike Leach
Suicide After Game Of Cards.

PORTLAND, April &c.
At Portland, Monday morning, the BODY OF
Isaac c. Leach was fonnd at the head Of the
sip between. brakes and Railroad wharf
with bullet hole in the right temple. A 32
caiibre revolver, pointing upward toward the
right lay between the extended legs. The
body lay squarely on the back, the head rest
ing against log that tops the head of the slip,
indicating that. if the man committed suicide
he placed himself in the position before fire.
ing the shot. The face showed no powder
marks and if the shot was self-infiicted. the
muzzie of the revolver must have been
placed against the temple, blowing the
powder in.o the wound. Could the man have
fired the fatal shot with the right hand-ss
ne would have TO do-and had the strength
or presence Of mind to place the revolver
where found? If he fred the shot with the
right hand and placed the revolver - found,
he must first lay the pistol down. take it up
oy the muzzle, to place it in the position
found between the legs. The rumors afoat
as to his not having been married, etc., ap-
pear to be without foundation. From an
interview with their immediate neighbors we
learn that Mr.. Leach was dissipated, and had
no particular occupation. On several former
occasions he has attempted to execute q
chronic threat to put himself out of the way
Friday, week, he lay all day in stupor, and
his wife found on his person an empty vial
marked morphine and it Is presumed he had
then attempted self.destruction. Sunday
evening, it is said, they were together in
their shop playing cards until eleven O'Clock,
when Mr.. Leach went out, never to return.
At few minutes before twelve Mrs Leach
asked policeman to accompany her to her
room over an adjoining saloon. saying she
was afraid to go through q dark alleyway.
After they reached her room she told the
policeman he had best go and find Ike, as
she was afraid he might go and kill himself.
The reply was she need not fear, as he was
too big coward to hurt himself. Mrs.
Leach ascertained that Mr.. Leach had broken
into her trunk and taken her revolver, q bot
tie of brandy, handkerchief and several
other little things.

NEW YORK, April 2

NEW IOkhs ApTh
Col. Robert G. Ingersoll delivered his new
lecture on Orthodoxy at the academy Of mu-
sic tonight before an audience which crowded
the immense auditorium from parquet to
gallery. 1t gives me great pleasure. he said
in introducing the subject to say to the au-
dience that Orthodox religion is dying out
in the civilized world. 1t is . sick man. 1t
has been attacked BY two diseases, softening
of the brain and ossifcation of the heart. 1t
is a religion that gives hope only to . few,
and it is a religion that am going to do
what little can while live to destroy. The
world is . succession Of births and deaths, and
when an old religion dies Q better one is
born. Super natural religion will fade from
this world, and in its place We shall have
reason. In place of worship Of something
We know not of, it viii be . religion of mu-
tual love and assistance, the great religion Of
reciperocity The lecturer then proceeded to
poirt out the causes which have been at work
for centuries destroying the superstitions of
christian religion. Among these he mentioned
first Mohammed, then the destruction of art
by the christian fanatics of the middle ages,
followed by the discovery of America, then
the Investigation of Copeinaue and kepter,
and iually, the writings Of modern philoso-
phy, chief among them being Darwin
The greater part of the lecture was
taken up With q discussion of what he called
the new Congregational creed. parts of which
he read and commented upon. II had not
outerown the doctrines of the original sin, and
atopement. and asserted that the bible was
inspired, that there WAS resurrection and also

the speaker dissented in an emphatic man.
