8 "fyGEILED COMFORT. #*OW THE HOT SPELL AFFECTED THE SALE OF ICE. The Ice Companies Pushed to Their Utmost-Men and Horses Buffer from the Torrid Rays of Old Boh—Gossipy Notes on a Cold Subloct. “No, sir, this is not the ico men’s paro disc, although the average citizen may think so," remarked Mr. J. F. Cavanaugh, of the Knickerbocker Ice Company, in re sponse to a query regarding the increased demand for ioe during the hot spell. Mr. Cavanaugh further explained: “You see, a long hot spell like this is [far different from a day or two’s high tempera ture Such a long stretch of hot and sultry weather jadalyses us, so to speak, aud not only entails extra expenses, but places a large amount of extra work on the men and animals. The men have their hands full in ordinary weather, and when they are over taxed wdnle almost unfit for work, it does not take long to wear them out. The men go out at I o’clock in the morning and seldom during this hot spell get home earlier than il to 11 o’clock p. m. These long hours with their arduous work soon produce this result, anti in a short time the men are completely knocked out. It is the same way with the stock, in such a soar son. ACCLIMATED MULES. We lost one fine mule the other day, worth $250, it being acclimated, which, by the way, is of great importance in estab lishing a mule’s value in this climate. Our stock is all run down, and is in bad shape, the direct result of the hard pulling in the deep sand of many of tho streets tinder the hot sun. At night tho mules all have to be cared for very care fully, rubbed down, dried, fed and watered 'carefully, and here is whore the stablemen Cuff or long hours too, as they are the last to leave, ana must be tho first at the stable in she morning to see that all the animals are fa good shape to go out on the routes. Besides the expense of purchasing extra *tock, we are worrying all the while for fear mat some of the animals will break down, and with all those troubles to annoy us you can readily see that the ice men do not‘enthuse’ much over the advent of a long period of extremely hot weather. Of course, we sell more ice, but the consequent Increase of exiiensus, tho worry and trouble, and above all the general ‘breakdown’ f the force, fully covers the increased J>mflts.” “About what was tho increase, in amount of ioe sold, say during t.he extremes, be tween the 10th and the 00th?” was asked. WEATHER THE ICE MEN LIKE. “Well, not so much as you would imagine. People would not leavo their residences to any extent during the hot days, and of course the soda fountains, saloons, etc., were leas patronized. But, here are the figured for a comparison. Ordinarily a wagon takes out an average of 6,000 pounds. During the hot spell the average was 6,500 pounds. On Saturday, 16th inst., it car ried 6,560; Sunday, the 17th,6,660, and Mon day, the 18th, 7,000 pounds. However, on Sunday, the 10th, it had 6,6.10 pounds, so you see there is not such a tremendous in crease as you would imagine.” “How about discontinuing one delivery ?” “We have decided to do that. It is im possible to keep up the present deliveries in this weather. Begining with Monday the wagons will go out at 4 o'clock in the morn ing. making last delivery at about 3 p. in. Tiiis will give tho men and the stock a chance to rest ana recuperate, and I know they need it. Both conqianies heve agreed on this. This system is the same as that used in Phil adelphia, New York and other cities North.” Mr. Cavanaugh said ioe men prefer, de cidedly, moderate weather, 80” to ‘JO , than continued heat with the thermometer up to 85" and 100”. KINNICKV HOUSEWIVES. Here Mr. L. I’. Hart, one of the firm and the general manager, was sought out and questioned. •‘Of course,” he said, “we sold more ice by a largej >er cent, during tho hot spell, but i doubt if we made much extra profit from it. You see in ordinary weather the horses, have all they want to pott. When you add to this a thermometer of lUT or so in the sun it breaks down both men ami ani mals. It is a hard business, there is so much heayy lifting to Ih< done. Then again the pettv details worrv one almost to distraction. The ice has all to be brushed off carefully, and if the least bit of saw dust adheres to it the men will hear from the thrifty housewife on the subject in em piiatic language. Then they will lie asked to carry it down to the basement or up to the garret, no difference how many flights of stairs. Why, here the other day we were asked to come to a house off the route twice a day, leaving 2jq pounds each time for a flve-ixiuiid ticket. That is only one of the hundred or more vexations we encounter. We lost no horses in this hot term, but sev eral dropped in the streets and required lots of working over liefore they recovered. Wo made tho experiment of using horse- in the place of mules and like them better. If treated right they are sujierior.” THE DAILY CONSUMPTION. “What difference did you in the sabs, made during tho ten uays of hot weather?" “The first five days of July one of the wagons averaged about 4,000 pounds dally. The last five days this wagon has averaged over 6,700. (juite un increase, lint it is done at tho expense of our men ami the horses. A great loss is cause, 1 also by the waste, which increases to heavy propor tions these hot days, because the trips are so prolonged.” Fully forty-five to fifty tons of ioe (say 88,000 pounds) are used daily in Savannah. Last year it averaged less. It is used in nearly every household in the city, (t is indispensable nowadays and has passed be youd the name of a luxury. It certainly is one of the important essentials of a life in this clime, anil its ntieonce would bo seri ously felt- The companies are deliberating In regard to stopping the Sunday delivery, but it is thought that they will hardly do that. COOL WEATHER COMING. Indications of a Lower Temperature To-Day. The thermometer showed that yesterday was not an extremely warm ilay, but it was eery uneonifortablo until a little blow in tho afternoon fanned tho hot air from the city aud substituted fresh, cool air for it. The morning bore a striking resemblance to the very hot mornings of two weeks ago, but the mercury did not climb so high. It seemed to find some obstruc tion at 82", and thou-di it struggled to get past that mark it was unsuccessful, and when the wind storm can.e up it knocked It bock to 74". Tiie average foe the day was 82", the normal average of the day for fif teen years past. All of the Southern sta tions were cooler last night, except those in the Hio Grande valley. Tho Galveston cot ton district rejiorted an average for tho day of 88", but lti this district the average was 86", and Jesup tried to raise it by running up to 100". It was raining pretty generally In tho lake rogion last night, but there were no indications that the storm would come down this way, though the probabilities arc that it will be cooler to-day than it was yes terday. The Mortuary Roport. The djuth roll for tho week shows n total of twenty-five death*, thirteen whites and twelve blacks and colored. Eighteen dis own*, figure in tho reports, mid the cans*' of four deaths was un refined, One striking tiling about the repo** is tho small number iicatlis aiming infant white children. There wure only three deaths o. white chil dren under tiie ago of 10 years, while tho number shove that age was 10. The blacks were evenly divided, six being more and w Ids iLai 10 yours. THE FORDS’ TRIPLE BILL. The Last cf the Season Except Hanley’s Benefit. On Thursday and Friday nights next the Ford* will present a triple bill which will consist of the second act of Ingomar, the comedy scene, the third act of Vlrginius, and the farce, “His Last Logs.” This bill will close the regular season, and it has been specially prepared to give all the members aud professionals an opportunity to appear at their bast. By request Mr. Lawrence Hanley will play an act of Vlrginius. Mr. Hanley played the leading role of Vlrginius with Edward Collier as the star last season, and ho is thoroughly up In tho work. Miss Clara Baker, who will take tho Dart of Par thenia, has played it with John McCullough, Frank Mordauiit and Frederick Bryton. With these stars has she carried the part and she will play it here. Mr. Thomas F. McCabe played Ingomar in California and scored a success in it. He is master of the pai't, aud will play it well. Tho character of O'Callighan in “His Last Legs," will !>e taken by Mr. Larry Doyle. It is peculiarly adapted to his abilities and fits him better than any part He has played yet. This piece has boon made celebrated by John T. Ray mond. John E. Owens and the comedian Burton. The only performance that will bo given after this will tie a grand testimonial ten dered by tho Fords and tho citizens of .Sa vannah to the popular favorite, Lawrence Hanley. This will take place on the even ing of Aug. 4. Mr. (Hanley has added to his host or admirers this season, and a warm roception is awaiting him. INOOMAtt—ACT 11. Ingomar Thomas F.

Johnston, the President of tho City and Suburban railway, referring to the communication in yesterday’s Morning News in regard to having street car con nection with Tybee railway trains, stated that the street rail mail company had placed a limn on duty charged exclusively with looking after the comfort and convenience of those going to and coining from the island, and that special cars are at his command for that purpose. President Johnston stated that whatever could be done for the accommodation of the traveling public would have his attention. He said that as soon as the city authorities granted permission curves would lie put on at the intersections of Liberty street with Whitaker and Abercom streets and passen gers would then lie landed near their homes. He was endeavoring to get permission, hut for some reason ho had not succeeded. It is to be hoped that the city authorities will at once take action and give the com pany the right to put in the curves, so that the city will have better street railroad fa cilities. Tlie trains for Tybee will Is' loaded to-day as usual w r ith those who will enjoy tile delicious and refreshing sea breezes and the delights of surf bathing. Hot days are not known on Tybee, and it is a great treat to si said at least a few hours there drinking hi the pleasures the island affords. PERRY M. DeLEON INDICTED. The Correspondence Between Him and West Concluded by the Grand Jury. Tlie spicy correspondence between Mr. Perry M. DeLeon and Charles N. West, Esq., culminated yesterday in the grand jury room of the city court, where an in dictment was found against Mr. DeLeon for criminal libel. In mailing his circulars to various (lersons throughout the city, Mr. De- Leon sent one to Hon. William D. Harden, judge of the city court. Judge Harden enclos ed the circular with his card in an envelope and sent it to Solicitor General duliignon. The grand jury of the City Court met yesterday and the case was presented to it and the indictment was the result. A bench warrant was issued for Mr. DeLeon and served upon him, hut lie gave bond in the sum of $5OO, with Mr. Joseph Hull as security, and left last night for Atlanta. Tho punishment for criminal liliel is a fine of not more than $l,OOO or imprisonment in the jail for not more than six months, or in the chain gang for not more tluui tw elvo mouths, or one of the last two and a fine. Ml'. De la'ou said last night that he was very well pleased with the action of the grand jury, and lie hopod the case would come to trial, as it would give him an op portunity that ho would like to have of proving his assertions. OVERCOME BY THE HEAT. Grocers Find Great Difficulty in Keop ing Their Horses Up. I.ast week's unprecedented heat cuused great inconvenience to J. G. Nelson & Cos., tlie grocers under the Guards’ armory, and their patrons, in that it so affected their de livery hoi-sos that they were almost entirely unable to make their customary trips. Yes terday oiio of them fell in his tracks and tho other was still very sick. In view of theo fai ls the firm respectfully request their pat rons and friends to view witli leniency any shortcomings in their delivery service. Nearly every business firm in the citv has been similarly unfortunate, but Messrs. Nelson .V Cos. give assurance to alltluitthcy will do their utmost to prevent a recurrence of the tardiness. In the meantime they call attention to the fact that the prices or gro | eerie* remain at the same rock-liottom fig ures, and that the firm is constantly making a drive on one or more articles that they manage to purchase at an extra low price. Remember the place under tile Guards’ ar mory, and don’t forget that tho firm’s tele phone is No. 2-K7. DESERVED PROMOTION. Mr. M. 11. Connolly Appointed Private Secretary to Gea. Alexander. Mr. M. H. Connally, formerly chief clerk and stenographer in t-upt. Fleming's olllce, (.f the Savannah, Florida and item rail road, has boon appointed private secretary to Gen, Alexander, President of the Central railroad. Mr. Connally came to Savannah some six years ago comparatively a stronger, mid by strict and assiduous attention to his duties he has gradually worked his way up on the rounds of the ladder and is now in a fair way to make his way in the world. Mr. Andrew Anderson, who formerly oc euphsl the pisitioii of private s>xivtniy to Gen. Alexander, will leave for New Murk to night to assume his duties ns Hoerotary of the Mexican National Railroad Company. Mr. Anderson did not expect to leave until Aug. 0, but a dispatch from Capt. Raoul called him there Immediately. "Gontle as tho Broezo of Evoning." This lino of an old hymn is quite appro priate when applied to “Pleasant Purgativo I Pellets.” “1 don’t like to Dike pills if 1 can I avoid It," wo often hear persons say, “I*< cause they constipate me so.'’ Now the “Pellets” never do this. They are so gentle and mild that their effect is almost pre cisely similar to a natural movement of the bowels, aud no unplua-xiut effect* arc left behind. THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, JULY 24, 1887.

Other extensive re !stirs will also be made to these wharves. The hot wave has continued in Charleston now for nearly three weeks, but it did not begin to get in its deadly work until Satur day Inst. For tho week ending Friday there were thirteen deaths attributable directly to the boat, nine white aud four i-olorod jier sons. All with one exception were adults. The bathing house project, still divides w ith the hot spell the attention of the com munity. A prominent minister, discussing the subject, said: “Charleston tin* ut pres ent no greater need, and success is a fore gone conclusion. Let us have a permanent, substantial ami commodious nntutorium, easily accessible by the street can, where old and young, male and female, may enjoy both suit and urtesiuu baths.

The committees include a long list of distinguished and prominent persons, among whom arc the Governors of South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, Ala bama, Nortli Carolina, and a number of well-known military officers. Three arrest* were made by the police yes terday: Win. Smith (white), NI. J. Thomp son (colored) and Ella Myers (white). Thompson was charged with being drunk and threatening to kill one Hannah Brown, also colored. He was relieved of a formid able-looking pistol when locked up. Both of the others wero “drunk and disorderly.” Two lads got into a fight yesterday after noon oil Bryan street, above Bull.

There was slight evidence of an amazonian war, but the fiery clouds blew over and peace reigned supreme. There is not much chance for evil-doers when the police are around. Robert Drayton (colored), who has charge of the residence 138 South Brood street, reported this morn ing at 12:20 o’clock, that, two white men, partially intoxicated, had forced their way into the house and 111X016x1 his wife.

The Marietta and North Georgia road is having a hard time of it. The Legislature refuses to permit its extension to Atlanta, and tiie cause of this refusal is the fact that it would compete with the property of the State and injure the value of tho Western and Atlantic road. A New York dispatch says that a syndi cate copartnership of New York and Lon don bankers has agreed to furnish the money necessary for tiie construction of the Chattanooga, Rome and Columbus railroad, and President Williamson, who was in New York conducting negotiations, left for Homo Wednesday and "dll begin work on the line at once. The right of way through the streets of Palayka, now occupied by tiie Paiatka and Indian River railway was granted Wednes day night to the Paiatka and St. Augustine and St. John’s and Halifax River railroads, and tho same ordinance provides for the building of a bridge over the St. John's to the foot of Admits street. The material is already at, hand, and all doubts as to the lo cation of the bridge, as well as to the pas sage of the roads through the city would seem to be set at rest. The work on the extension of the Orange Belt railway, from Oakland westward, is going on rapidly. The grading between Tarpon Springs and Macon is nearly com pleted, and the hridges over Taconey creek and Salt creek are finished, and there is now no doubt but that rails will lie laid into Tarpon Springs eariy in October. The occasion will be one of much rejoicing not only to the people of Tarpon Springs, but all along tho coast, especially the merchants. These latter are loud in their denunciation of the execrable service which has been given them by the steamboats of late, and are feeling very bitter against the Steamboat company. The boats have been withdrawn without any notice or warning whatever, and freight hits been delivered at Tarpon Springs by lighter and by private boats, whicli have had to go 6) Cellar Key hi get it. NASHVILLE NOWHERE. Charleston Vanquishes Her Visitors With Ease. Charleston, S. C., July 23. Charleston sat down upon Nashville to-day to the tune of 8 to 2, winning the game easily in 1 hour and 50 minutes. The batteries were Smith and Hines for Charleston, and Kelly and Nicholas for Nashville. The only Kelly was poumled unmercifully and tiie game was hardly interesting, so one-sided was it.

Onbs, a merchant of Ringgold, Ga., was in the city. While walking around on Br and street ho sudden ly came across a face that was very familiar to him. The two me 1 were not exactly friends, and they did ot rush up and fond ly embraeo each other Tho man who Mr. C >mbs saw was named W. B. Ault, and ho a one time was also a merchant of Kinggoi He, it is said, about two years ago came < im the State of Indi ana and opened up a rocery store. He rep resented himself as l> ng a man of moans, though sulisequcnt' nevolopments showed that his starting cash was rather limited. At first. as tho story goes, Mr. Ault conducted business on the square, and in a short while his credit be came No. 1. In i about, one year after opening It became noised around that Mr. Ault was selling goods wonderfully cheap, and, it was claimed, way below tho cost prices. After he had gotten his stock nearly cleaned out, which was about one year ago, he skipped the pleasant little mountain vil lage and has not been seen by any inhab itant thereof until ha came in contact Thursday with Mr. Qombs. In the mean time his creditors have suffered on his ac count. The two men did not speak as they passed by, though each eyed the other for all he was worth. My. Ault hastily hurried up Eim street and Mr I ’ombs, catching sight of Policeman DemUwy, soon put him on the track. Mr. Ault seemed in some hurry, and it was quite awhile, after much fa tiguing exercise, that tho officer came upon him. I Comics,not having the least idea of ever see ing Ault, of course, had uo warrant for his arrest. lie induce-1 Dempsey to take a walk with the man and kept him in tow while he did some telegraphing. He wired two or three of Ault’s did creditors, and among them was the firm of J. M. Teach & Cos., Adairsville. This firm referred Combs to their Mr, Boyd, who was then in Rome, and that gentleman coon was found. He was very glad to see Ault and wn* anxious that he should settle the little bill cxrod by him to his establishment, This Anlt agreed to do, and Mr. Boyd told him that so far as he was concerned, Ihe would not prosecute him. The cither Creditors telegraphed had not answered up .<> the time the 2:40 o’clock afternoon train l ulled out. On board of thus train was the trio, Messrs. Combs, Ault and Boyd, and In this time, pW.oably, the little difference b tween the latter two is settled. _ An Ox' Boiled Whole. From tie London Times. An experiment rare, if not unprecedent ed, was tried on jubilee clay at Liss, a vil lage on the Bonefon and Southwestern rail way in Hampshire'. It consisted in boiling a bullock whole, in addition to one roasted the evening before. A hole dug in tlie gro*rirt was built over with bricks. Into the latter was built a tank, and into the tank w as lowered the car cass, placed within a case formed by iron bars, to w hich chains were attached. Pul leys from a scaffolding immediately above raised and lowered the ox, of which the head and carcass were sewn up separately in strong canvas. Carrots were lioiled with it, and potatoes inclosed in bags, making gallons of rich soup. The fat was remove'd from the carcass before boiling. A t 5:80 p. rn. the carcass, which had been boiled about .seven hours, was raised from the tank, two bands playing “God Save the Queen” and “Rule Britannia” on the scaf folding above. It was placed on a large bier-like vehicle and carried on the shoul ders of twelve men to the booth where it was to Ice cut up, the bands playing in front. A beautiful wreath and flags were placed over the ox, and the gentlemen wdio gave the bullucks, the butcher and an as sistant were Isirne along with it over the heads of tb crowd. The meat was pro nounced excellent, and was certainly well cooked. The huge knife and fork used on this occasion were especially manufactured for the purpose in the village. Bucklen’s Arnica Salve.
