Past0rate in New York.

for Thirty Year rs-Affecting
SceEes in the Church

New York. Jan 9-The Rev. Dr. JOHN
Hall announced in the Fifth Avenue
Presbyterian church this morning his
resignation OF his pastorate.
DR.. Hall read letter from himself
to the session, in which he stated that
as he had preached the Gospel for for
ty-eight years. and had been pastor of
that church for thirty years. he
thought the time was ripe for choosing
a successor younger and of more vigor.
He also read q set OF resolutions passed
by the session. in which the doctor $
work was warmly praised and a meet
ing of the church called for January
1S. to take action on the resignation.
with the recommendation that the Te-
quest be acceded to. and steps De taken
for choosing his successor.
The announcement deeply affected
members of the congregation While
the last stanZa of the hymn was being
sung, many OF the congregation were
so affected that singing was quite out
of the question. The tears that moist
ened handkeTchiefs were not alone the
tears of the women of the congrega-
ton. There were men and women in
the church whom DR.. Hall had bap-
tized, whom he had married whose
children he had baptized and whose
dead he had buried, and the sound OF
sobbing could be heard above the sing
ing.

tion OF the system.

The first motor cars on the new under
ground electric syst ern Of the Capital Trac-
tion Were operated yesterday.
Everything had been in readiness, as
far as the street work was concerned,
for several days, but the cars could not
be run ON account of some delay in the
arrival Of the 'plows,' which connect
the motors with the conductor rails These
connections came by express saturday.
and, as soon as possible, the cars were
given a trial yest erday morning.
The first car, No. / was drawn from
the shed by a team Of car horses shortly
before 10 O'Clock, and as soon as it was
on the main track the plow was attached
and placed on the conductor rail. Super
ntendent Da vid Carl and his assistant,
MI Hanna; President Dunlop and Mr..
II enry Hurt one OF the directors or tEe
road, were present and boarded the car
The motorman Walter Taylor, manipulated
the current switch crank, and the
car started down town.
It moved off with siuOothuess and made
the journey to street and return in atout
sa satisfactory one. ana the road Officials
who were present expressed themselves al
greatly pleased with the experiment trip.
The conductor on the car was Mr. z. Q.
Keys.
Shortly afterw ard another car, No 2,
was moved from the shed and put i'll
operation, under the control OF Motorruan
NJ. NJ McGregor and Conductor p. F. Teed.
This car was operated on the west track
and the first car on the east track.
Each ear moved up and down these
tracks, between Mount Pleasant and the
u street transfer station during the day.
The reason for this was that there is no
switch al the street temporary terminus
on which to move the cars from one track To
another The cars were built by the
American Car Company of ST. Louis Mo-,
and are splendid examples OF the car
builders art.
They are OF an orange color, upholstered
in green plush, trimmed with hardwood on
the interior and are heated and lighted
by electricity.
Many persons took advantage of the
announcement in yesterdays Times that
the cars would be operated, and made the
trip from L street to Mount Pleass mt and
return.
The horse cars now run from Fourteenth
and L streets to the Baltimore and ONO
depot only. bat give transfers to the new
cars at the L street transfer station.
The ROAD is now completed from Fourteenth

DREYFus's DOCUMENTS.

He FELLED Her TO ESCAPE
Mrs. Marshall Unconscious From a
Robbers Blow.
She Interrupts n Negro Ransacking
Her Apartments Eould Insensi-

A daring robbery was attempted yes
terday afternoon at the boarding house
of Mrs. Murray No. 606 II street, north
west and as a result Of an encounter
with the intruder negro-Mrs. Mary
Marshall, a boarder in the house, is In
critical condition.
Mrs Marshall and her husband, who
is the proprietor of a billiard room on
Seventh street, occupy the front room
on the third story of the house, but,
with the other boarders, were down
stairs at dinner when the robber en-
tered the house Mrs Marshall left
the table before the others and went to
her room.
Upon entering the room, Mrs. Mar
shall saw "a burly negro ransacking the
bureau drawers. The negro saw her
reflection in "a mirror and, seizing q
pistol belonging to Mr. Marshall, which
had been lying in the drawer, started
toward the woman with it,
Instead of firing the revolver, he
struck, Mrs. Marshall a stunning blow
upon the head with the weapon, knock
ing her senseless. No one heard the
fall, and the negro, taking advantage
of this. hastily made his escape.
Mrs. Marshall lay unconscious upon
the floor for some minutes, until her
husband returned to the room and
found her as the burglar had left her.
She revived sufficiently to briefly relate
her experience with the intruder, but
when questioned further regarding the
affair became hystericaL and again
lapsed into unconsciousness. a physi-
elan is attending her
An examination of the house showed
that the burglar doubtless gained ad-
mittance to the house by climbing the
rainspout in the rear and forcing a
window on the second floor while the
occupants of the house were down
stairs. 1t is believed that the thief
did not get away with anything of val
ue. The case was reported to the police
last night and Detective Hartigan was
assigned to investigate the matter.
Mrs. Marshall has thus far been unable
To give a description of the thief and
the detective has little or nothing upon
which to work. 2G

Mr.. George II. Ham, of Montreal, and

THE DingIey tariff is compelling Can
ada to give UP her trade with the
United States. Every month the busi-
ness we do with the States is less and
that with England greater. The un-
fortunate thing of all this is, and there
can be no doubt of it, that it does you
no good and really hurts US immensely
AS yet there has been no actual retail
alton, but it is threatened and will
come undoubtedly unless your Congress
decides to be less unfair to us. We do
not desire unpleasant relations, and
lack of relations with the United States.
They will cripple us more than you
But the friendship certainly cannot
stand the strain of the Dingley bill and
remain as cordial l am sure. At the
moment the Dtngley lumber schedule
Is the subject of our sincerest consider
alton. The Ontario legislature now has
a retaliatory bill before it. The dis
cussion of the bill commences tomorrow
and you will hear from it later. Your
Michigan and Wisconsin lumber mills
have been getting their logs from us re-
Gently. Their own are all gone. They
sent them back to us as boards Mr..
Dingley'S tariff has spoiled our end of
this. The bill before the Toronto legis-
lature is intended as an offset. The
lumber lands are owned by the Michi-
gan people as purchases from the
crown lands, but there are certain stip-
ulations in the deeds. The Legislature
controls the crown lands in Toronto,
and the bill proposes to make it a
proviso Of the deeds that the lumber
mills must be on Toronto territory.
'One business Of ours that your tariff
bill almost killed was the raising Of
barley. There is one section of Toronto
that is peculiarly adapted to raising a
fine white barley. Your beer people
used it in large quantities The Ding
ley tariff made it impossible to raise
1t at a profit. The farmers all went
into the dairy business. They are
sending cheese to England. The profit
is small but there is profit. The
farmers buy their clothing and hats in
England now, instead of in the United
States. Another interesting result of
the Dingley bill is the pea fed hog. We
sent a large quantity Of peas to you.
Your duty made this impossible and
the farmers began to feed peas to their
hogs. The English people find pork
raised on peas of a better flavor than
the American article. We send our
pork TO England and secure better
prices than you do for all we can raise.
And the pork raisers buy their supplies
from England, too.

said last night to a reporter: The cen

need not be afraid of science, that the
fundamentals and the essentials of re
lfgion will be helped by research and
the closest scrutiny. There are stu
dets and thinkers in the Church OF
England. and their number is growing
larger who work along these lines
fearlessly and with perfect faith
Canon Cheyne says that while un-
doubtedly an established church would
be an anomaly and an impossibility in
in America, the Church of England is
growing stronger all the time. He
saws the dissenting churches are not
holding their own. The principal reason
for this, he believes, is that the cur
rent of religious thought makes men
tend to either of the extremes: entire
unbelief or a stricter and more ritual
istic form of belief.
