A I'uxtor I licv. L. A. Hall has resigned the pastorate of the Temple Uapllst church , with which lie bus been over since it seceded from the Klrst church , a llttlo over a year ago. Ho has had this in view for some llttlo time past and his decision was announced to the church at its Sunday morning service. Just what is the cause for his action Is not Mated but it Is commonly understood to have resulted from the inability of the organiza tion to support a pastor. The mem- ers have made vigorous efforts to raise tlio necessary funds , but they are few In number and have been un- nblo to meet tbo running expenses of the church , Mr Hull still retains the popular ity he had nt first , and It was with intense disappointment that the announcement of _ his dcclsslon was heard by tbo church. Whether the resignation of Mr. Half means the abandonment of the organization cannot be told yet , as the members themselves have not had time to form unv plans for the fu ture. Tbo resignation takes eftoet March 1. Mr Hall , it is said , has received a number of flattering offers from other churches. An honest plli is tlio noniesl work of the apothecary.

The police .spent it ( food share of the day yesterday in investigating tlio case of .1. P. Worden , thoyotiugman whoso exploits In the wholesale burglary business were recounted in Tin : Hr.n. Worden has Insisted all nlont ? that ho was the only one Implicated in the transaction , but there is some very strong circumstantial evidence to show that ho docs not tell all he knows. At 12 o'clock Satur day night , the night on which the Spctman burglary was committed. Worden called at Kiel's hotel , next door to Spetman's store , with two companions , anil bought some cigars. It was only a few minutes after 12 that the sound of ernshlngiglass was heard by some of Kpotman's neighbors. Who the two companions were and where they arc now the police are very anxious to learn , but willing as Worden Is to confess to the part he has played. Uc absolutely refuses to admit that he received assistance from anyone - ono A further examination into the younp mnii'a effects resulted in the discovery of a number of articles that were stolen from Hrackett's book store. Among other things there were a band glass and a lot of books , some cf them on the subject of shorthand and mhers upon bookkeeping. Women had a friend who clerked In Hrackett's , and these articles are supposed to have been quietly nipped while he was visiting bis friend. Tills makes ten places where he has excrclsc-d his talents , while there may bo ollieis not yet beard Irani. Worden evidently expected to make a raid on some otllce when1 there was an uncnalncd typewriter , for be bad told the other boys in Kiley . * c Hbcrraden's place that ho had lust beard from his molhcr and that she bad promised to send him one. Mr. Sullivan , whoso place was burlarlzed , called on the young man at the city jail yes terday and after Informing him that he wired nothing for the stuff he bad lost , asked him how be had gotteU'lnto the good Rracesofbls ( Sullivan's ) bull dog. "I've liecn feeding that dog on raw meat to make him vicious. " said he , "for the past six months , and I've a great. iiriosity to know bow you managed him. " "Oh , I Just patted him on the head and ho wagged his tall , and wo were friends , " was the reply. Sullivan is trying to sell bis bull dog. COUNCIL ritjiiiiNs. : : ItcMiliitloiii for Tux I.rvlf * to lie Submitted lit till ! Next ilrrtlmi : , The city council held its regular monthly meeting last evening with Mayor Lawrence and Aldermen ( leiso. .Jennings , Maync , Pace , Smith , Tibbits and Van Hriint present. A resolution was adopted to submit to the voters of the city at the next general elec tion a proposition to levy a 1 mill tax foi two years to nay the expenses of the Fair- mount park litigation. Another resolution was adopted to submit at the election March 0 tbo question of levy ing a 1 mill tax for tbo purpose of making improvements in the parks. ' 1 he ( jiiestloti of vacating that portion of Fourteenth avenue between Alain and Fourth streets was referred to the commit tee on streets and alleys. The now ordinance requiring pawnbrokers to keep a register of all goods bought and sold , with a full description of the buyers and sellers , and to send a copy of tbo regis ter to the chief of police before noon of the day following , was read and laid over under the rules. P. Wind asked the council to sell him n strip of land between his ofllce and Hroad- way. Hefcrrcd to the committee on city property. S. H. Wadsworth .appeared before the council and stated that the board of super visors had appointed a committee to confer with the council with reference to making a survey of that part of Council Bluffs west of the Missouri river for taxation purposes. The matter wns referred. The Courtlaml Ueach company llled its acceptance of the ordinance granting a right of way for a bridge over Cut-off lake and a railway in Council Ulufl's. O. W. Drake llled Ids bond as meat Inspector specter , with H. II. Field and W. F. Patton us sureties. It was accepted. The bill of George A. Holmes for Sl.OflO for his services as attorney for the city in tlio Fail-mount park case was referred to the judiciary committee. lilds for grading and paving Fourth ave nue , from Eighth to Tenth street , were re- ceived us follows : .1. .1.

In each of these bids , excepting tbo hist , it wns specified that Council Bluffs brick should bo used , while Mr. Folsom bid on Heatrico brick. A. T. Fliokingcr , one of the property owners affected , stated that most of the property owners had expressed a preference for the Heatrico article. The bids were finally laid over until tlio next meeting. Alderman Smith stated that n great many defective bricks bad been palmed off on the city through the failure of tbo latter to have an inspector on the ground until after they had been piled up by the roadside. Ho thought that a resolution should bo passed providing that no bricks should bo hauled' until the inspector was on band , and none accepted unless they had been inspected properly as they were laid down. Aftersomo discussion It was decided that Smith should draw up a resolution embracing the points ho had mentioned and present it at the next meeting. The council then adjourned until the 'JOth. i Mclire InlllctK the t/iiw'H I.linlt on 11 lie * ! lul Unite. K. W. McCurdy was brought before Judge McfJee yesterday morning fora trial on the charge of making an Indecent exhibition of himself a short tlmo ago at the corner of Fifth avenue and Eighth street. The case was a very aggravated ono.and thocourt had even less sympathy for him than ho would otherwise have had for him from the fact that McCurdy had run away after being re leased from Jail on his own recognizance. The girl who had been the chief witness of the affair came into court and told In a straightforward mttnncr all that happened , the court room having been previously cleared of all spectators. At the conclusion of the hearing the court sentenced McCurdy to pay a tine of $100 or servo n term of thirty days In the city jail in default of payment. He did not have the money , so ho was locked up. Numerous complaints have been tnado at various times of the actions of a man who did precisely what McCurdy has been sen tenced for. It Is now suggested that the women who are aggrieved call on him at the city jail in order to identify him , if possible , us the man who was guilty in the cases. The sentence , although the most severe that can bo given under the statute , Is altogether too light for tbo crime , and McCurdy should bo given a lesson that will deter other wrong doers from following in his footsteps. 1'layt'il the Onmlm IJiuni' .

During the afternoon n fellow went to the grocery store of .Peter Tholl on South Mala street nnd purchased 5 worth of groceries and ordered them to bo sent to bis house , when ho was to pay for I hem.

Justice Fox wns called upon yesterday afternoon to marry a couple -from Kansas City. Uoth had been through the matrimonial menial mill before , and the groom took the thing as a matter of course , but the bride wns a coy young widow of 27 years , and , In her excess of womanly reserve , the llrst thing she did after arriving at the place where matrimony wan on sale , was to do niand that all the men but Fox bo wit out of the room. The next was to enjoin the utmost secre.'y on the justice , especially urging him not to tell , any newspaper men about It. After this promise had been made by the Justice the ceremony went on , but the squire had only succeeded in n.arrying the man when the bride Jerked her baud away and nmdo a bee-lino for the dnor , through the glass of which she thought she saw some- Wly peering. Once outside the door she decided to stay , ami it took all the urging that her stater could bring to bear upon her tit get her to return to the ofllce and have the : other half of the ceremony performed. At last she came back , the ceremony was repeated and the groom was relieved of the embarrassment of finding himself married but without a wife. They gave their names as Ueorge H Smith nn.l Alice Willoughby. After again ordering the Justice to keep mum they left the office and went to Kansas City in the evening.

WOES OF THE WEATHER MAN IVoplo Pester Olil I'm'-iitbllUlcH with 1m- nmlrrliil and Iiivumpi-tont Last night a HEE reporter climbed tno three long flights of iron stairs in the post- oflice building in order to call uixm Captain O. 10. Hunt , lociM forecast ofllcinl of Jerry Husk's weather bureau. Notwithstanding the fact that the wind was blowing from the north at the rate of about forty miles an hour and the exposed thermometers were 'way down below zero. Uncle I Sam's weather prophet was In a good humor 1 and put in all of his spare time 1t shoveling anthracite into a big heater re gardless of expense. "Very few people. ' ' said tbo captain , "who read the bare figures given in the weather reports realize the immense amount of work It takes to compile tbo data and prepare it for publication. You know that tbo draw- lug of the chart lines and the care wo must observe in watching a storm movement is jften times rather wearing on ones nerves. The catechism that I am put through at such times is something awful and enough to try the patience of a do/en Jobs. "As a general thing , though , there is a tinge of absurdity In tbo questions , and the amusement thus caused makes us oftentimes forgot that we are tired ami busy. But the greatest of till our troubles is the 'telephone fiend. ' Hero is where our patience and good nature is tiixcd to its utmost , so much so , in fact , that I often almost forget that I am a public servant. Everybody calls usjip , and frequently wo are asked to give a forecast of the weather for three , four or a half dozen days ahead. Thcso calls come mostly from women who want to go to a party or something - . thing of the sort some tlmo during the week. This job Isn't the snap people think it is , " concluded the captain as ho wrapped his fur coat about him , preparatory to making n trip to the root to examine some of the in struments. CAB THIEVES CAPTURED. Di'trrtlvn Viuiliii ( Arrests I'olir Hoys fur UrcukliiK Into I'rrljlit Curs unil Sti-nllni ; . For the last month or six weeks the Fre mont , Klkhorn & Missouri "Valley Hallway company has been missing merchandise front Its cars and one of the company's detectives was put on the case , but didn't make much headway. The matter was reported to the police detective department , and last night Detective Vaughn not only captured the gang , but recovered about 10 worth of tbo stolen property. The prisoners are all young men and have the appearance of youngsters trying to bo tough. Isaac and John Shopnrd , living at 81U North Twenty-fifth street , are tbo leaders. They are about ' . ' 0 years of age. I1. 1C. Ben' nett and llay Cotton are a little younger. Vaughn went out to the Saratoga school yesterday and talked with some of the chil dren , and a little boy named Doo/.cnbcrry gave the whole thing away. The detectives visited the Shepard residence and arrested the two boys and found a lot of the stolen goods secreted In the house. When questioned at the jail the gang con fessed and told how they worked the deal They would select a car in the yards along about Grace street , break the seal and climb in. When the train pulled out they would throw off the plunder and then jump off themselves. The merchandise was then gathered up and secreted. All of the young toughs were charged with burglary The parents of the Shepard boys denied all knowledge of the larceny. Still DrinvliiK 1'mivcln. Tlio interest manitlested in the wonderful experiments of I'rof. Heynolds , seems not to have abated In the least. The Young Men's Christian association auditorium was again well filled last evening although this is the mesmerist's secon.l week hero. The experi ments last evening was of a nature similar to those presented last week , a slight change , however , being introduced. Prof. Heynolds repeated his performance of putting a sub ject Into a state of catilepsy nnd placing him In n horizontal position , with head and heels resting on two chairs. Judge Davis and several gentlemen from the audience exam ined the subject and ono , a man weighing nearly UK ) pounds asked to stand on the body. A number of uniubiiig experiments were given and a strorg effort was made by the operator to control the actions of n young woman who sat in the audience with a pencil nnd note book In hand , but the pencil was too strong a counter attraction.

A line htream of uold clour water was Mowing into tlio little meadow , but there sectneil to bo no outlet There was no way of trotting dowu into the yalloy. but quail and rabbits seemed to inhabit the little basin. A pair of operii glasses brought to light a numbo.r of snakes basking in the Bun on the Hat roek. They wore ono to three feet in length and had heads shaped e.xaotly like a blacksmith's hum mer.Vhilo the party was examining with the glass the maneuvers of a num ber of the snakes crawling through the grass a very largo ono was noticed mak ing a sneak on a cottontail rabbit. When within about two fcot of the rah * bit the snake stiffened the front half of its body and bent into u right angle. Then his snakeship straightened out suddenly , bringing the rabbit a swing ing blow on the side of its head , which laid bunny out completely. Another btiako was ob-erved to creep on to a quail sitting on a bernbby tree. This snake twisted about four inches of its tail along a limb of the tree and used all the rest of its body for a hammer and handle to whack the the quail on the Highest of all in Leavening Power.
