Broughton preached to one of the largest congregations ever Been in Raleigh Sunday night. His text was "The Unpardonable Sin."- He treated the subject ably and avoided the so called sensational features which have characterised most of his sermons. PROPOSITION. AN ELOQUENT SERMON. Rev. Dr. Yates Preaches on Thoughts of God Toward Man. Rev. Dr. E. A. Ya'tes, Presiding Elder of the Raleigh District, occupied the pulpit at the Edeliton Street Methodist church , yesterday morning. The an nouncement that Dr. Yates will preach never falls to draw a large congrega tion in Raleigh. He 1s greatly beloved here by all who know him and he is universally esteemed on account of his lovely christian character, and his ser mons which are always inspiring spirit ual and intellectual feasts. The conception of Dr. Yates' dis course yesterday on "The Thought of God Toward Man," was grand. His text was 40th Psalm and 5th verse, "Many, o,ord, my God, are Thy won derful works -which Thou hast done, and Thy thoughts which are to us ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto Thee; if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered." Dr. Yates' sermon brought out beautifully how the thoughts of God work for the pleasure of man. The flowers, the grass, the fields, the sky, the landscape are all the result of God's thoughts toward man. 'Man cannot make them but they are the result of God's thoughts. Dr. Yates told beautifully how all nature points man to God. Then the thoughts of God toward man are demonstrated in the thoughts of man. The arts, the sciences, inven tions, humanitarian conceptions are the product of thoughts of great men and these thoughts have their origin in One who is greater than man. These are manifestations of God's thoughts towards man for man's benefit. God never thinks evil and all good thoughts come from God. Dr. Ya:.es described God's thought for man which led to the incarnation of God's love in his only begotten son. whom He sent to save man. This is the greatest manifestation of God's thoughts us-ward. A DEVIL FISH. Among other interesting specimens received at the State Museum recently is an octopus or Devil fiish. This is something that most people have heard of, but very few have ever had the pleasure of seeing one. This fish has just been received from Morehead. It was caught near there by some fisher men and sent in by Dr. W. E. Headen, of that city. It has 8 arms and meas ures nearly 4 feet from tip to tip, all of '.hese arms are covered from base to end with sucking dies, which gives him a grasping power almost beyond our imagination for so small an animaH This is something that will attract the attention of many people who visit the Museum, as it is a very rare specimen and one that everybody should see. It is a very valuable addition to the State's collection. The Museum has also received a very interesting and historic curio. It is a cartridge used in the Hotchkiss rapid fire gun, with brass case, fuse, and explosive shell. This cartridge came from the torpedo boat "Winslow." It was at the side of 'this Hotchkiss gun that the late Worth Bagley was standing when he laid his life down upon the altar of his coun try. WARMER. Weather Man Promises Rain and War mer Tomorrow.

Dr. Broughton Denounces Their Use and Favore the Tennessee Law. Bev. D. L. G. Broughton preached to an Immense crowd In Metropolitan hall yesterday afternoon. His subject was the familiar passage of Scripture, "Whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap." In the course of his re marks he spoke of the use of ciga rettes. He said that he was astonished the other morning when he read in the paper the resolution lopted by the Western Methodist nference in re gard to the use of cigarettes. Dr. Broughton said that '.he conference re fused to pass a resolution condeming the use of cigarettes and instead pass ed a substitute discouraging the use of tobacco and the sale of cigarettes to minors, which Dr. Broughton construed as a virtual endorsement of the use of cigarettes by others than minors. He declared that this yielding to the cigarette power and could not profit the conference in the end. He asserted that its action was indefensible. Dr. Broughton was severe in his con demnation of cigarettes. He declared that they contained arsenic and opium, and depicted the effect which, as a phy sician, he knew, the inhalation of ciga rette smoke had upon the lungs. He grayed God that North Carolina might have legislators, who, like the members of the Tennessee legislature, would rise above party and all else, and legislate for the benefit of public morals by pro hibiting the sale or use of cigarettes in the State. Tennessee now hassuch a law. Of course, the Capital Club and danc ing came in for their usual round of censure in the discourse by Dr. Brough ton. J. W. PARKER DEAD.

It may be proper to ro.ate jfflc1al positions which require n spe' ial oq particular professional skill or art to fill, but in the case of Itoart Supervisor for Raleigh Road Dis trict they can do no better than replace Mr. V. C. McMackin. The consolidation of ttiat office with that of Superintend ent of the Work House and County Home was a grave error, and has work ed badly. Mr. McMackin has devoted several years of hard study and practi cal experience to road building, and when relieved of his position a year and a half ago had the best roads in Ral egh District to found in the State. The position Is one requiring not only k theoretical knowledge of how to do he work, but one must have had some xrerience In the use of that knowl edge to put It quickly into effect. This Mr. McMackin has and the roads re tire Just such a person at once. There Is none other at hand and Mr. McMack in should be restored to the place he was taken from. Thanksgiving Day was celebrated in far away Manila by a dinner given bjr U. 8. Consul Williams to the offi cers of the- army and navy. The Brit- a and Gclgian consuls participated. RYAN'S NEW MOVE Applies for Mandamus in Seaboard Fight WARM CORRESPONDENCE Letters Interchanged Between Thomas Ryan and Charles Krumbaar, Chair! man of the Stockholders Committee. BALTIMORE HERALD. Correspondence between Mr. Thomas F. Ryan and Mr. Charles H. Krumbaar, chairman of the stiekholders' commit tee. The following correspondence will ex plain itself, and Is published :for the in formation of the stockholders of the Seaboard and Roanoke Railroad Com pany: Charles H. Krumbaar, Attorney at Law, 532 Drexel Building. Philadelphia, Pa., Oct. 25. 1S9S. Thomas F Ryan, Esq., :;2 Libel ty Street, New York: Dear Sir The "ommittee recently ap pointed under resolution of the stock- j holders of the Seaboard and Roanoke Railroad Company, adopted at their last meeoting, in Portsmouth, Va., met in Baltimore yesterday, at which meet ing I was chosen chairman. In consonance with the resolution and its preamble, the committee under stands that its first duty was to notify yflu of its readiness to take cognizance of any and all charges which may be preferred against the President or oth er officers of the above road, in order that it may. in the fullest, freest and wisest scope, investigate and pass upon the same. l'pon motion. I was request ed to inform you of above, so that, should you have any charges against any of the officers of the above road to present to the committee, you would have full opportunity to do so. I en close you a copy of the resolution, in order that any charges which you may file shall meet the requirements thereof, and also -that you may be informed of the extensive authority and powers with which the stockholders have clothed this committee over the offi cers, employees and books and papers of their company, with a view to ena ble them to report effectively and con clusively upon the subject. Truly yours. C. 11. KRUMBAAR. Chairman. Thomas F. Ryan, Liberty Street. New York. let. 27. is-ls. C. II. Kiumbharr. Esq., 5:!2 Drexel Building, Philadelphia, Pa.: Dear Sit I have to acknowledge the receip. of your polite letter of the 2."th instant, as chairnvtn of the committee of stockholders of tile Seaboard and Roanoke Railroad Company, informing me of the readiness of the committee to take cognizance of any charges which 1 might prefer under the terms of .certain resolutions adopted by the stockholders of that company at their last meeting, on October 4, ISilS. I beg to inclose a copy of a letter which I re cently addressed to the secietary and treasurer of the Seaboard and Roanoke Railroad Company, which. I am in formed, was laid before the stockhold ers at the last 'meeting, and which con tains over my own signature, charges of 'the most serious character against the management of the company, to gether with a reference to know facts tending to show that these charges have a substantial basis. It is apparent that to make these charges definite and certain, to discover fully the evidence by which they may be sustained, and to ascertain what further derelictions of duty, if any. of a similar character ought to be charged against the man agement, requires an examination of the books and papers of the railroad company. This I demanded as my right as the largest stockholder of the company. It is apparent that the res olutions under which your committee was appointed were designed to evade my demand for an examination of the books and prevent my exercise of that right. TKey were manifestly drafted with the intention of closing the books to my investigation, while at the same time demanding a stitjement and veri flcatlon of the charges wi.h particular! ty, which an examination of the books alone eouid make possible. I do not for a moment Impute to your committee any intention to be made the instrument of thus stifling the truth. I accordingly request that you direct that an examination of the books and papers of the railroad company be per mitted to be conducted in my behalf as a stockholder of the company, and at my expense. For that purpose I name and If you shall answer affirmatively will employ Mr. Stephen Little, an ac countant well known to you all and throughout the United States as abso lutely upright, impartial and to the highest degree competent to perform such a duty.

Editor Times-Visitor: The remarks of "Democrat" upon the distribution of the "'spoils'' by the in coming Democratic officials is correct. There is but very little inducement for a young man without "inlluen?e" to vote the Democratic ticket, for they are. as a general thing, side-tracked for the old "moss-backs" of the party, because they are supposed to have in fluence. From close ohserva' ion, the wiiter has never been able to see any groat results from the "immense" influ ence some of those already slated for positions have exerted. You had better be particular, gentle men, or our oft-repeated slogan, of "Retribution in History" will become a boomerang, wielded by 'the young Democrats of this city, county and State. E. A. ADAMS.
