THE TORRID WAVE.
1t was learned at the Signal office this morn
ing that there is probability Of several warm
days ahead tor Washington. The predictions
to-day for the next twenty-four hours, begin
ming at 3 o'clock, are: Fair weather, southerly
winds, and slightly warmer temperature
Warmer weather than to-day means ninety
degrees or higher. The maximum yesterday
was S6.S. AT 1 o'clock yesterday the ther-
mometer registered 81 degrees, and at the same
hour to-day S3 degress-a rise of two degrees
which will make the highest temperature to-

the warm weather is a bare possibility OF cloudy
weather. 1t is growing cooler in the northwest,
and and a cool wave may reach US in a few days, or
the development may pass of without affect
ing US in this part OF the country.

cause, namely, to repair the church which was
damaged by the recent storm. Officers Mari

trict Commissioners the mat ter OF continuing
the business on sundays in the future. AS they
filed out OF court the Judge remarked: IL know
they can't worship very we'll with hungry bel
