A special meeting of the Board of Aldermen was held yesterday after noon, at which all tbe member of the Board were pressnt with the excep tion of Alderman PearsalL On taking the obair Mayor Fowler stated that the meeting had been called to consider a resolution that would be submitted relative to the Onslow railroad bends, also a peti tion of the Portner Brewing Company, and matter pertaining to the Fire Department. Bib honor then re quested Alderman Hicks to take the obair. In regard to the Wilmington, Ons low & East Carolina Railroad, Mayor Fowler stated that after consul tation with ooansel it had been deoided to offer tbe following resolution, which bs read as follows: Resolved, That ths Mayor be re quested t j notify Messrs. George Chad boaro. W. A Freoob and Isaac Bates oo; to deliver to the Wilmington, Oosow & East Carolina Railroad Company tbe bonds of tbe city of Wilmiogtoo now Io tbeir bands un der agreement 14th May, 1888, or any of said bonds; tbat tbe right of said company to said bonds will be con tested, aod in case of any such de livery tbey will be held personally responsible. A motion to adopt the resolution having been made and seoonded. Alderman Smith asked who was tbe oounsel referred to, and if tbe bonds were invalidated by tbe alleged fail are of tbe railroad oompany to com ply with the terms of their charter. If the action proposed was simply taking advantageof n opportunity to avoid the issoe of tbe bonds he was opposed to it. Mayor Fowler explained tbat the oompany bad forfeited tbeir -'right to the bonds. Be did not know if the bonds would b good if issued under tbe cireumstanoes. He was followed by City Attorney Cutlar, who said this question would be determined by tbe action proposed . After fur ther remarks the resolution was adopted without dissent. The petition of the Robt. Portner BrewtDg,Co..for permission to lay rail road track along Eigbth and Bruns wick streets, from tbe W.4W. railroad to tbe bo tling works and cold stor age warehouse of the oompany to be erected on Brunswiok street, was granted under such regulatioos as may be provided by tbe Board. Mayor Fowler then stated that cir cumstances had arisen under wbloh be bad placed the Chief of the Fire Department under suspension, and that charges would be preferred against him. Alderman Morton asked City At toroey Cotlar to advise tbe Board as to tbe best way of disposiog of the matter. Mr. Cutlar said that he would sug gest tbat tbe Board privately investi gate the charges and act as they saw nt; that tbe Chief of the Fire Depart ment was not entitled to a trial; he with other officers appointed by the Board oould be removed at plea sure with or without cause He thought it would be a dangerous pre" cedent to have a trial before open board. MaJ. C. If. 8 ted man, who was present as counsel .for Mr. Newman, Chief of tbe Fire Department, asked to be heard in reply to Mr. Cutlar, but tbe cbalr recognized Alderman Lane as haying the floor. Alderman Lane moved that the matter be referred to a committee of three. On motioo of Alderman Smith Major ted man's request to be beard was then granted. Be combatted tbe poeitioo taken by the City Attor ney and said it was a matter of right and decenoy tbat Mr. Newman should be granted a trial. It was the first tune iu bis iife that he had beard a lawyer say that a man had no legal rights and was oot entitled to a trial. Such a doctrine was subversive of tbe first prinoipl of hu man liberty, abhorrent to justice and absonld never be countenanced by freemen. He aaid that Russia was tbs only country of wbloh he knew wbere such doctrine as advocated by tbe City Attorney would be recog nized or allowed. Mr. Cotlar said that he was not disturbed by what had beeo said. He still maintained tbat Newman bad oo legal right there. There was a wide difference between tbe Mayor and tbe Chief of the Fire Depart ment. The Mayor had the right to suspend tbs Chisf, and the latter had no right to eomplain, even if he was summarily dismissed. Msj. 8 led man maintained, iu regard to "legal rights," that every man, whits or colored, bad the right to be heard. The Board of Aldermen, in regard to the Fire Department, had taken the supreme power oot of the hands of the Mayor by the adoption of tbe ordinance in August Isst and given It to tbe Chief and then through the mlaadvertenoe of the Mayor, the ( hlef bad been suspended, for what ths Board had directed and required 'as m. a nim ao N, a, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1889. Aldermen Morton said the question was whether the action of the Mayor and Committee would be sustained by the Board. Maj. Sted man Reinstate the Chief and then make your charges if you have them. Mr. A. Gh Rioaud, counsel for Mr. Newman, read the order of suspen sion issued by the Mayor, and argued that the proper course to pursue was to investigate this question: Was the Chief legally suspended? After further discussion Mayor Fowler rose to the point of order that the motion of Alderman Lane to ap point an investigation committee was before the Board. He seconded the motion with an amendment tbat the chairman ( Alderman Hicks) be a member of the committee. Alderman Craft said at the begin ning it was said tbat charges would be preferred against the Chief, bat none had yet been made. Alderman Bell said. It looked as if the committee was to be appointed to find charges. Alderman Smith asked how oould the Board aDDoint a committee to investigate charges tbey know nothing about ? There was only one way to investigate and that was be tare th fall Board. He moved, as a substitute for Alderman Lane's mo tion, that the order of suspension be annulled. Mayor Fowler opposed the adoption of tbe substitute, arguing that a com mittee should be appointed to iuves tigate charges that; might be brought. Counsel for the accused could be pre sent, if it was desired. Major Stedman explained that the suspension was made for a specific cause and it was maintained tbat the Mayor had n" right to suspend. Tbe Board ought to reinstate the Chief and then try him if they had charges to prefer. Mayor Fowler said there was a mo tion to lay the substitute offered by Alderman Smith on tbe table and called for a vote. The motion was defeated; Aldermen Smith, Montgom ery. Craft, Hicks and Bell voting against is adoption, and Aldermen Post, Morton, Lane and Mayor Fowler for it. Further debate ensued on the mo tion to refer to committee and the substitute to annul the order of suspension. The Chair said the charges against the Chief should be presented to the Board and until they were presented he did not see how a committee oould be appointed Mavor Fowler said if it was the pleasure of the Board to have the charges submitted be would submit them. Alderman Smith said it was out of order. Mayor Fowler offered as a substi tute for Alderman Smith's substitute that the Committee on Fire Depart ment submit tbeir report and charges against tbe Chief. Alderman Morton said that if tbe Board would sustain the committee, the Mayor would reinstate tbe Chief. Finally the motion to receive the re port and charges was put to a vote and lost, and the motion to annul the suspension of .the Chief was adopted; tbe vote on the last motion being: Yeas Aldermen Smith, Mont gomery, Bell, Craft and Hicks. Nays Mayor Fowler, Aldermen Morton, PoBt and Lane. The motion of Aldermen Lane to appoint a oommittee to investigate charges against the obief of the Fire Department was then renewed and was adopted wlthont debate. The Chair Alderman Bioks -appointed Alderman Morton and Craft to serve with him on this oommittee, report to be made to the Board at as early a date as possible. After a statement by Mayor Fowler in regard to the differences that had arisen between himself and the Chief of the Fire Department, the meeting adjourned. Firth Street H.

The order of business was resumed by taking up the report of the Mis -sion Committee. The report was considered by items, provoking a fuH and amicable discus sion. Tne question or continuing cne publication of the Mission News was discussed at length. The following substitute for this item, offered by Rev L L Smith, was adopted. Resolved, 1. That the Board be re commended to publish the Mission News monthly, if the Board deem it advisable. Resolved, 2. That each pastor within our bounds send a mailing list of the families of his congregation to the Secretary of the Board, or if so de sired, the pastors have the option of having the copies set directly.

The recommendation regara- ing the Richmond Mission was adopted. Rev. S. B.

The following are the appointments for the various churches in the city on Sunday morning, by ministers of the Synod: First Presbyterian Rev. W. S. Bowman, D. D., of Savannah, Ga. St. Andrew's Presbyterian Rev. C. A. Rose, of Salisbury, N. C. Grace M. E. Church Rev. L. G. M. Mills, of Winchester, Va. First Baptist Rev. L. A. Fox, D. D., of Salem, Va. Bladen Street Methodist Rev. W. A. Lutz, of Enoch ville, N. C. Seamen's Bethel to be supplied. LECTURE BY DR. CONRAD. Owing to the great and general de sire both on the part of many who heard it and also on the part of very many who desire to.hear it but could not, the lecture of Rev. F. W. Con rad, D. D., of Philadelphia, Pa., on Luther, will be repeated on Sunday night. Owing to the fact that the pastor and officers of the First Baptist Church have kindly tendered the use of their large and capacious church to the Lutheran Synod for any ser vices they might wish to hold in it, the services will be held in this church at 7.30 p. m. There will be no ser vices in the Lutheran Church at night. FRIDAY EVENING. A large congregation assembled in St. Paul's Evangelical Lutheran Churoh last evening to attend the services in the interest of Foreign Missions. After a voluntary by the choir, Rev. C. A. Rose read the Scrip ture lesson, and Rev. G. H. Cox led in prayer. Hymn No. 387 was then sung, and the Rev. L. G. M. Miller, of Win -Chester, Va , a thoroughly consecrated advocate of missions, set forth the obligation of men to care for their neighbors, as set forth in the parable of the Good Samaritan. He, there from, drew our obligation to do for all who need our help whatever lies in our power. Tbe heathen need the light of the Gospel; they are in dark ness; they lie in sin. wounded, sore, unable to help themselves. We have the means to relieve them. Will we do it ? What, indeed, are we doing ? The Church cannot lay the flatter ing unction to her heart that she is WHOLE NO. 7219 doing her full duty. We lavish our means on ourselves and do not the hundredeth part of what we can for the heathen. No denomination is doing the full extent of its ability. Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. That is the rule by which we are to care for the heathen. Here we have fine churches and fine lurniture and fine appointments, and pull out our nickels and pennies to send the gos -pel to the heathen. The Church is Dives and the heathen are Lazarus appealing for food food for the souls, for the lack of which they are perishing. And yet God has given every individual a positive command to send to them the bread of life. "Go ye therefore into all the world." Preach the word to every creature, is the design of the divine commis sion. The Christian is to pray for Lthe success of mission work and to give the means for sending out the heralds of the gospel. If we do not do this then we are responsible for the failure to con vert the world. The primary motive however is that of obedience. The work is ours, the result is God's. By laboring for Him we glorify Him Hymn 388 was sung and Rev, Dr. F. W. Conrad, of Philadelphia, fol lowed on the same subject. Full of facts, a mind well stored with infor mation, it was an easy matter for him to run back over the history of mis sions, showing that even a half cen tury ago there was so great apathy on the subject of missions; that it was difficult to secure either men or means for the foreign field. He traced the growing and widening influence of this work in the Lutheran Church. The employment of wo men in the foreign field is another and glorious evidence of the growth of this work. He gave details of the number of missionaries, native and foreign, employed and the students being educated in our for eign mission schools and colleges, and enforced the obligation on young men and women to devote themselves to this work, and asserted the rightful authority of the Church to call suitable and capable young people to a life of service in this cause. An anthem was then beautifully rendered by Miss Mina Swartz and an offering in aid of Foreign Mis sions made. Dr. Luther A. Fox, of Salem, Va., delivered the closing address of this interesting evening. The subject is an important one, said he. It is such in view of the greatness of the field to be occupied. It is such in view of the command of the Head of the Church. Every Christian is called to be a foreign missionary. The early Church in its dispersion became of necessity foreign missionaries. It was thus brought to us Gentiles. It was only a thousand years ago that it was brought by Boniface to our German forefathers. And later the noble Muhlenberg came to our land to do foreign mission work, and we owe it as a debt of gratitude to do what lies within our power to carry the gospel to other lands. The heavy responsibility to do home mission work does not exonen ate us from duty to the foreign work. Doing foreign work rather adds to and strengthens the home work. The speaker closed with an eloquent ap peal for a consecrated effort in be half of foreign mission work. The choir and congregation then chanted the Lord's prayer, and Rev. Barnitz pronounced the benediction. KNIGHTS OF PYTHIA.8. Dedication ot tne New Hall. The new Castle Hall of Stonewall Lodge No. 1, and Clarendon Lodge No, 2, of the Knights of Pythias, was dedicated last night with imposing and interesting oeremonies. Tne Lodges were called to order by the Chancelolr Commander M.C.S.No ble. after which was sung an ode "Remember Now Thy Creator," by the choir. The officers filling the chair upon the opening of the Lodge were Pas) Chancellor Commerder G W Cat lett, Chancellor Commander M, C. S. Noble, Vice Chancellor J G Olden buttle, Prelate J D Bellamy, Jr, Mas ter at-Arms C H White, Master of Exchequer G M Altaffer, Keeper of Records and Seals L H Vollers, Out side Guard Geo F Warren, Inside Guard HJ Gerken. After the Lodge was called to or der, the Grand Master' at-Arms, Dal las Orrell, announced the presence of the officers of the Grand Lodge, who came in in the following order, filling the chairs vacated by the former occupants: Grand Past Chancellor John Haar, Grand Chancellor T. D. Meares, Grand Vice Chancellor Sol. C. Weill, Grand Prelate R. B. Clowe, Grand . Master-at-Arms J. D. Orrell, Grand Master of Exchequer W. P Oldham, Grand Keeper of Records and Seals J. L. Dudley, and Grand Outer Guard E. Porter. The declaration of principles was read by M. C. S. Noble, and after the dedication ceremonies by the Grand Officers, the Dedication Ode was sung by the choir, and the remainder of qaare the dedication ceremonies were com pleted. Thereupon, Rev, W. S. Creasy de livered a dedioatory address and pre sented a beautiful gold watch and chain to Knight R. F. Warren, in be half of the Lodges of Wilming tonStonewall, Germania and Clar endonin appreciation of th knightly courage and daring of their brother Knight. He alluded in graceful terms to the noble senti ments which the Order inspired, and paid a glowing tribute to Captain Eugene Maffltt, the father of the young lady rescued, showing the great courage and generosity which actuated that Knight in tendering his life-preserver to his superior offioer, while buffeting the waves in the Eng lish Channel, when the Confederate oruiser Alabama was sunk. The speaker was frequently ap plauded for his eloquent remarks, and as he presented the watch to Mr. Warren was greeted with loud and continuous rounds of applause. Mr. J. Iredell Meares accepted the token in behalf of Mr. Warren, in a speech which showed thought and deliberation, and was eloquent in tone and graceful in delivery. After these ceremonies Grand.Chan cellor T. D. Meares delivered a short Speech abounding in wit and humor, and was followed by a most plensing and humorous reading of "The Dreadful Husband." The music was one of the most pleasant features of the occasion, under the direction of Mr. N. B. Rankin, the choir being entirely composed of Knights of Pythias. Mr. E, P. Boatwright pre sided at the organ and Messrs N. Mayer, James D. Smith, Geo. P. Welch, R. H. Grant and N. B. Rankin formed the choir. Tbe pieces selected showed taste and study, and the admirable man ner in which the well modulated voices were blended was most pleas ing to the large crowd of ladies and gentlemen assembled. It was a grand occasion in the history of Pythianism in North Carolina, and will long be remembered by all those who participated in. this pleasant affair. Cbnrch nnoonc narms.
