Two of the robbers were disguised as
women, and when the engineer saw them
swinging IL lantern across the track, an
apparent signal of danger, he did not
hesitate to stop. The engines crew were
Immediately covered with revolvers. Con
ductor Dennis O'Brien and Brakeman
Michael stepped out to see what was the
matter, and were greeted by volley OF
bullets. which caused the greatest con
fusion in the passenger coaches.
The conductor and brakemcn were
compelled to cut the express and baggage
cars from the rest of the train. and the
engineer and fireman were made to get
dow Il from their cab. The robbers quick
ly jumped aboard and took the engine
and express car about two miles further
east, where they stopped and compelled
Express Messenger Williams to open hi

messenger and went through his pockets
but $265 was all they secured. After thi
they quickly left the train and disappear

NO PAY FOR REv. DIR. TALMAGE.
Big Falling on in Church Receipts
Since the CIeveIands Left.
From the PhIladeIphla RECORD.

u
Washington. d. Cat a special meeting
last night Of the trustees and elders OF
the First Presbyterian church of this city.
of which Rev. DIR. T. Dewitt Talmage Is
associated with DIR. Byron Sunderland as
the pastor. 1t was decided to close the
church for the rest of the summer, be-
ginning with the first Sunday in July. DR..
Talmage will spend the summer at his
home on Long Island.
DR.. Sunderland made an announcement
at the meeting which occasioned some
surprise. He said that DR.. Talmage had
not received a single cent of salary for
the past four months. and he also added
that there was very little prospect of his
getting any for the next three months,
as the church was to be closed during that
time.
The fact Is that the attendance at the
First Presbyterian church has taken a
big slump since the withdrawal from Il
Of ex-Presdent and Mrs. Cleveland. The
collections and pew rents have fallen off
in proportion, and, as DR.. Talmage's sal
airy Is contingent upon the receipts of the
church, his preaching for the past
months has been Improbable from
financial standpoint
When IL was decided TO bring the cele-
brated Brooklyn divine to this city he
agreed that with the receipts from pew
rents and the collections all the expenses
Of the church should be paid, including
the salaries Of DIR. Sunderland, the choir
and the sexton, and the bills for light
fuel, etc There was a big boom In the
church Immediately after Or. Talmage's
advent IN this city, and at every service
hundreds Of people were turned away
from the doors. one Of the members said
to-day that the income OF the church was
then averaging 500 a week. large body
Of police was stationed a the front door

and to prevent disasters from overcrowd-

The attendance gradually dropped of
however, and since March 4 the church

gregations. The police were withdrawn.

services. As a result OF this lack Of in
