March 10 After a service of little more than three years as pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of this city, Dr. T.

DeWitt Talmage resigned last night, sending a letter of resignation to the session of elders of the church. A special meeting of the congregation of the church will be called to meet next Thursday evening, when Dr. Talmage's resignation will be accepted. The letter of resignation was as follows: "MOO Massachusetts avenue, "Washington. D.

Made to keei steam from the surface of Atlantic avenue and the construction of the tunnel under the I East River, led Senator Marshall to believe that the measures would readily receive ap proval this year.

The bundle which they were carrying, however, was left on the spot and O'Connell carried it to the station house, where it was afterward found to contain stolen goods. Shortly after 1 this morning O'Connell was standing near Boeltzer's Hotel, at Fulton street and Vesta avenue.

He saw two men come out of the hotel with a large bundle and climb the stairs to the elevated station. There have been numerous burglaries in O'Connell's precinct and in the Bedford section generally lately and all the men on post have been ordered to keep a sharp lookout for thieves. O'Connell thought that the two men looked suspicious, especially as it was a large bundle that they were carrying, so he decided to follow them. Ju3t as he gained the station platform a train hove in sight and the men picked up the bundle preparatory to getting on board. O'Connell asked them what they had in the bundle and one of the men replied that he had some clothing belonging to his wife.

"We're moving from East New York to rrand avenue," he added, nonchalantly. "Ail right," said the officer, "but I think you had better come around to the station house with me," his suspicions still further roused by the storv. shape of votes given to some individual meaures introduced by his Democratic associates, Senator Marshall got the bill out and into the committees of the whole, where it can be reached within a week. The number of Senators who have been recorded as opposed to the measure exceeds that of any number similarly recorded on any bill that has conic out. of eomtnittee this year.

The reason that those who favor the biil believe it cannot be passed, despite its favorable report, is chat among the members of the cities committee who are recorded in the mark. Moisture spoils biscuit; to pre cities have of late years caused frequent interruption of my pastoral work. It is not right that this condition of affairs should further continue. Beside this, it is desirable that I have more opportunity to meat face to face in religious assemblage those in this country and other countries to whom I have through the kindness of the printing press been permitted to preach week by week and without the exception of a week, for about thirty years. Therefore, though very reluctantly, I have concluded, after serving you nearly four years in the pastoral relations, to send this letter of resignation.

I ask you to join me in a petition to the Presbytery for the dissolution of the pastoral relation between myself and the First Presbyterian Church of Washington, D. C. For the uniform kindness shown me by yourselves and the church you repre serve and deliver to the negative are, Grady, the leader of the Dem ocrats on the lloor. and Senator Stranahan, who is as influential with the Republican members as Ellsworth, the active Republican leader, he being Senator Ellsworth's lieu tenant. consumer our new and splendid Uneeda Biscuit as crisp, tender and delicious as when fresh from the oven, we have originated The men assented willingly and the three went down the elevated stairs.

Once in the street O'Connell put a hand on each of the men's collars, and in that fashion started along Fulton street for the station house. Just before Stone avenue is reached there is a dark section extending for several yards. O'Connell's fears had been lulled by the apparent docility of the men, and as he started through this dark place he had no fears of an escape. Suddenly the smaller man dropped the bundle he had been carrying and both men wrenched themselves free. O'Connell drew his club and hit the smaller of the men on the head so hard that he broke his cluh.

I expect to continue residing in your city and hope to have many opportunities of meeting you. That the blessing of God may ever abide upon our beloved church is the prayer of your friend and pastor, (Signed! DE WITT TALMAGE." To a great majority of members of the First Presbyterian Church the resignation of their pastor comes as a surprise, but to many others it is not unexpected. Dr. Talmage packed up his trunk this morning and took a midday train for Old Point Comfort, from which place he will proceed to St. Augustine.

Before leaving he spoke as follows to the Eagle correspondent: "I made up my mind to resign the pastorate of the First Presbyterian Church because I find that I am unable to give to the place the time and attention which it deserves. My literary and religious works have grown so as to require practically my entire time. I am editor of the Christian Herald, which calls for a great deal of hard labor. I have been editing for some years the work increases all the time. I shall continue this work and shall also arrange to preach every Sunday.

I am unable to foretell my plans for the future at this time, but it is natural for me to be busy. "I hope to do my best work yet. Now that I will have more time and more time to devote to it. I am preparing two or three books on literary and religious subjects, which I hope to complete soon. Xo, I do not expect to enter the field of romance.

My life has been a very earnest one and I have found no time for romancing. I shall, of course, keep up my lectures. Although preaching will be rny chief work. Some ministers keep a yacht for pleasure, others keep a horse and some a bicycle, but instead of these, I choose to lecture. That is my recreation and diversion." Br.

Talmage said that he will continue the time the taller of the men had started to run. O'Connell. thinking that the smaller man had been felled by the blow, started after tho tall man and fired four shots at him. The man threw up his hands and gave a loud yell. O'Connell thought that he was taken care of and paused a minute to see what had become of the smaller man.

But the smaller man had entirely disappeared. Then the officer turned to make sure of the tall man, at least, but he, too, had run away in the darkness, leaving O'Connell with a broken club, his revolver with four chambers empty and the bundle. O'Connell picked up the bundle and reported at the station house that he had lost his prisoners. In the meantime Marcus Dominicus, living at 138 Powell street, had reported to the Eastern parkway station that his house had been broken into and a quantity of clothing belonging both to him and Mrs. Dominicus had been taken, together with some small property.

Mrs. Dominicus. with the three children was in the house at the time, but the burglars entered through a kitchen window and did their work so quietly that neither she nor the children had bean disturbed. DICKEY SCORES WHITE. FUNERAL OF CAPTAIN MARTIN.

Diekey has addressed a communication to the Appellate Division as to statements made before that division yesterday in the argument on appeal in the suit for a separation brought by Magdalena Span gehl, against Louis W.

Justice Dickey, who tried the case in special term of the Supreme Court, found for the plaintiff publication of his syndicate sermons and that he would preach there each Sunday, as the terms of his contract required that they i should be delivered from a church pulpit, "I have received some very hearty invita tions to take part in meetings in Brooklyn during the past month, but have been un and directed Spangehl to pay his wife a week alimony.

Mr. White in arguing the appeal, stated that it was agreed at the session on the previous day that but five witnesses The funeral of Captain Stephen Martin, commander of the DeKalb avenue precinct, was held at 10 o'clock this morning from the Church of the Sacred Heart, on Clermont avenue, near Park. The body, escorted by a detail of policemen, was taken from the home of Captain Martin's sister. 34 Madison street, to the church, and the burial was in Holy Cross Cemetery. The pall bearers were Deputy Chief Mc Inspectors Brennan and Murphy and Captains Ennis, Hardy and Campbell.

There was a robbery not long ago in a house only a short distance from that occupied ny Mr. Dominicus. where lived a man named Davies. The robbery was reported at the' time, but a very interesting Incident connected with it did not become generally known untii this morning. Mr.

Davies surprised two men at work in his house. These men, by the way. answered the description of the men O'Connell captured. Mr. Davies inquired with some abruptness what the Intruders were doing.

The intruders remarked that they didn't like to be interrupted, and picking Mr. Davies up, they carried him into a front room and stowed him Senator Marshall, when asked about the fate of the bill this morning, said he did not want to admit it was dead, but he did feel the fate of the measure was dubious. He said he did not propose to leave a stone unturned to secure the desired legislation, but with the great weight of the opposition he did believe the ta.sk was not an easy one by any means. Senator Stranahan. when asked what he thought of the chances of the Atlantic avenue legislation getting through, laughingly replied: "Well, considering the way the senators have been voting lately it is rather dangerous work prophesying how they will vote on any particular measure.

I don't think I would like to play the part of a political prophet just now. But seriously 1 do not think these bills can pass iu their present, shape." "What is the objection to them from your standpoint?" was asked. "Well, the bills are too general in their construction," was the answer. "They apply to all cities of the first class and you can't tell whether they would affect railroad interests in the borough of Manhattan or the City of Buffalo. This is the dangerous part of the proposed legislation.

Last year, as I remember it, the bills were specific and aimed at the particular thing to be accomplished. Then I did net Object." "Does the charter provision relating to twenty five year restriction which is repealed by the tunnel bill affect your opinion?" was asked. "Not in the last." was the answer. "There are occasions when 1 beiieve this can be modified as it is in the rapid transit act. without violating the spirit and the intent of thte charter.

I believe in this instance no harm would be done, but I cannot consent to legislation which is genera; and which reaches out to an extent which no man at the present time can define or desire. That is why I am against the bills and believe they cann at pass." you' think they could be amended so as to bring them into line with your views?" was asked. "It is possible that they couid," was the answer. Senator Grady was asked if hp believed tbo action of the committee killed th bilis. "Not necessarily," lie replied, "but there will have to be amendments." "Well, what would you suggest?" was asked.

"I would suggest that the bills be made to conform to the charter." was the answer. "If the tunnel bili is amended so as to allow the twenty five year clause to operate we will be for it with both hands and pasr. it This favorable attitude of Senator Grady is not as encouraging as it would appear, for President Baldwin of the Long Island Railroad, when before the Senate, and also the Assembly committee, said: If the charter provision in relation to twenty five years' life for a franchise is enforced against, us. the tunnel will not be built, and it" the tunnel is not constructed, the entire Atlantic avenue improvement will be abandoned." Therefore, it will be seen that Senator Grady's attitude, while apparently favorable, means the death of the tunnel scheme and, therefore, of the entire improvement. Senators Ford and Elsberg agree with Senator Stranahan in his views about the general construction of the acw and they believe, if the legislation was put through, it would confer rights upon railroads in Manhattan and particularly along the line of the New York Central, where the tracks have been elevated.

Consequently, they are in opposition to the proposed legislation. Senator White voted to disagree with the favorable report on precisely the same grounds as Senator Stranahan. Senator Davie of Buffalo prevented the bill authorizing the use of the surface for the purposes o' an electric road to convey passengers between the rapid transit stations from coming out of committee, although he voted for the tunnel bill, because he believed it would confer rights on the Buffalo railroads. Senator Raines has one of the bills in the railroad committee. He was asked this morning if he could violate the rules of senatorial courtesy by telling what action had been taken upon the bill.

He replied: "Yes: I can tell you that the bill has not yet been taken up for consideration," which means it is Quietly sleeping. There is another reason why these bills have the slightest chance of getting through the Legislature, according to an authority that is unquestionable, and that is. the people interested in the matter have refused to put up any money to get the bills through. The attitude taken by the Long Island Railroad is that it prefers to be let alone, and that it really docs not, want to be compelled to spend the money the proposed legislation would call for if enacted into law. To that portion of the Legislature which is quite free in stating that Albany is not a health sanitarium, railroads are looked upon as legitimate prey.

The members who are in tice Dickey sent the following communication to the Appellate Division on the subject: "To the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court: "I deem it my duty to call your attention to the deceit practiced on you by Attorney Elmer S.

He was a native of Manhattan and a graduate of the public schools of that borough. In his twelfth year he went Into the law office of Martin J. Early, and when 21 years old he was admitted to the bar and became a partner of Mr. Early's under the firm name of Early Prendergast. His specialty was real estate law and the management of estates.

He was a deeply read man and possessed a valuable library. Columbus Council, Knights of Columbus, was organized by him. and he was a leading member of the Columbian Club of this borough. As a mark of respect to his memory they have placed the club flag at half mast over the club house, corner of South Portland avenue and Hanson place. In polities he was first known prominently as an anti snapper, and attended the famous Syracuse convention.

Since then he has been allied with the Shepard Democracy, though he has never sought, office. William A. Prendergast. the well known Republican and recent candidate for Congress, is his brother and survives him. the only other survivor is his brother.

The life here is very delightful, and I like the associations and the opportunities found only at the national capital. I have a very lovely church and a great many very intimate acquaintances there." Dr.

Talmage says that there was nothing unpleasant in connection with his resignation. "I had talked the subject over in a general way," he said, "with a few of the prominent members, but never in a decisive manner because it was only a few days ago that I mado up my mind to withdraw. I felt that I could not give enough attention to the pastorate. A pastor needs to be always on hand, always at home. My relations here with Dr.

Sunderland have been delightful." Despite the statement of Dr. Talmage that there was no friction in his church, a number of its prominent members make declarations to the contrary. It is a well known fact that what may be called the Allen faction has been more or less hostile to the former Brooklyn divine ever since the Rev. Mr. Adolos Allen was forced to leave here in order to permit Dr.

Talmago to preach at both the morning and evening services. It is also currently reported that the financial condition of tho church was not satisfactory. One of the old members of tho church made the following statement to the Eagle correspondent today: "Since Dr. Talmage became our pastor immense crowds have appeared to hear him preach, but the church Itself has received absolutely no benefit from his pastorate. In fact it hits gone backward.

At the last annual meeting in January the clerk read a report regarding the membership of the church for the past. year. This showed a net gain in membership for the past twelve months of three. In addition to this oor showing many of the old and influential members the church withdrew their letters and went elsewhere, not liking tho way the building was filled up ever' morning with strangers. Despite the great crowds that were always present at the services, the church was in a bad way financially.

The report of the treasurer for the last calendar year showed a deficiency of S750. As Dr. Talmage was to receive as salary all money left after the expenses of the church had been defrayed and the salary of the pastor emeritus had been paid, he of course receives nothing for his services last year.

The case was passed until that justice could have his attention brought to the deceit practiced on him.

As soon as it was he vacated the stay and sent the case back to me for trial. "After case on was finished, the case of Spangehl was taken up and trial begun, it running through that day and the next. In the afternoon, after I had announced I would sit. until the case was finished, and defendant had sworn a number of witnesses, Mr. White said he had no more witnesses except the defendant present; that he had witnesses in Boston, Philadelphia and Brooklyn, not claiming he had subpenaed any of them, and asked for an adjournment until the next morning.

"I asked him. to name the abeent witnesses and finally concluded to grant the adjournment then on the express understanding and agreement that the defendant, was to call not to exceed five more witnesses, with the defendant. The next morning he called the defendant, three of the witnesses he had named, and two he had not named the night before, and all six gave testimony. He then, in utter disregard of the stipulation under which he obtained adjournment, called another witness. "When his attention was directed to the limitation, and being asked whether he wanted to repudiate it, he answered He took no exception to the exclusion of his new witness.

Frederick Benson, whom he had not named before, but acquiesced in my ruling. He now. by suppression of the truth and assertion of untruth before you, misrepresented the facts with the intention to carry the impression that I had summarily and without good reason prevented his examination of his witnesses and deprived him of his constitutional rights, when I had on the contrary granted him an adjournment to enable him to get witnesses. "On the settlement of the case he charged the faithful stenographer who took the ease with editing the minutes because he had not written in a large number of exceptions that Mr. White had not taken at the trial.

I bring his conduct before you for such action as you deem proper. "WILLIAM D. DICKEY. "March 10, ISM." probably ruin Saturday, fresh to brisk northerly to easterly winns. LOCAL.
