ASTORIA, OREGON: FRIDAY -.SEPTUM KKlt 7, ISSS jn exact accordance with ihe an nouncement in the Daily Astorix of August 22, rain began falling at Aslorta yesterday morning at 9:35 A. M. A severe attack of lung fevor has confined Rev. B. S. McLaflerty to liis house for the past vreck, rendering him unable to meet his congelation last Sunday. The Portland News has a lot of oditorial bosh about the striking of the Queen that had far better been left unsaid, Time enough to begin squealing after j'ou are hurt. The Gen. Miles and A. B. Field leave for Tillamook this morning. The Miles has a large lot of freight for Hobsonvillc; the Field will proba bly go as far as Xestucca this trip. Thore is a change in the time of leaving of the steamers of the Ilvraco Steam Navigation Co. After this the Miles or Canby will leave Astoria on Mondays and Thursdays at seven a. Jd., and other week days at nine. lij' the last steamer arrived the new carts for the Firo Department. They niako a valuable addition to its efficiency. The next thing in order is to organise a couple of juvenile com panies and give them an opportunity to get to the fire on business. The C. J). Bryant has had her pumps working continuously, and yesterday had tho water reduced to two feet She will discharge as soon as tho consignees can be heard from, and in her present conditiou is in no further danger, beyond the damage resulting to her cargo. Wheeler & Tudor's English Novelty company opened last evening at the Occidental and gave a crcdit ablo and attractive performance, intro ducing many novel specialties. There will bo another performance this evening, reserved seats for which can be procured at J, Straus3. Capt. Gregory arrived in with the Shubricl; yesterday afternoon. He had a tedious trip on the north coast. He left Capt. Davis at Tacoma. Tho flotsam from tho Queen lines the shore as far as Leadbetter xoint, and every conceivable description of merchandise is bobbing about on the water. W. IT. Clough, long and favora bly known as "a resident of Astoria, leaves us next woek for Montesauo, WT. T., where he will in tho future re side. Part of the family have gone to their new home, and as soon as the Gov. Newell, of which Mr. Clough is engineer, goe3 around to Gray's har bor, ho will join them. Owing to the dense fog tho steam ers wero late yesterday. The Fleet ivood left Portland at nine, and got here at :30 r. M., tho Mountain Queen left at 10, and arrived at 8. The rain extendedjwell up tho river and will do a good deal to dissipate tho fog which so persistently envelops the country. It has been discovered that it is one of tho numberless rules of the postoflice that a cent stamp partly on the wrapper and partly on the news paper will constitute it a sealed pack ago and send it to the dead letter of fice. Now our readers may know why some of their papers have never reached their destination. But there are a great many rules and if this one had failed another might have been efficient in creating disappointment. It seems, says the Orcgoaian, that tho Columbia river is not the only place where vessels Like the bottom or collide. After leaving Seattle Sunday tho steamship Wilmington ran aground and remained for seven hours. The steamship Empire also collided with the steamboat Washington, the latter receiving damage to stern and wheel. Yesterday mcrning the George E. Starr came near being run down by tho DaJ&ta. Tho Starr was running slow when whistles were heard, and imme diately tho black hull of a steamship came inight. A full head of steam was turned on and the Starr passed adead of tho Dakota. Theso items are caused by thick weather, as wero the disasters in the Columbia river. Card ofThanka. Astoria, Sept., 5, 1883. Eb. Astoria: I wish through your paper to ex press my sincere thanks for the prompt courage that so many of yonr city showed in aiding the Queen of the Pacific. My especial thanks aro due to Al. Harris, of the life station, to J. H. D. Gray who stood by and helped from the start, to Geo. Plavel, to whose determination we owe the safety of the vessel, to his experi enced pilots, to the brave men who took off the passengers, and to the citizens who kindly cared for the pas sengers and provided them with all they required. The services of all were of the best nature and arc grate fully acknowledged. I shall ever hold them in remembrunco and again de sire to express my sincere thanks. E. Alexander, Capt, Queen of ihe Pacific The finest flavored Ice Cream at tranK je aore , Udu Fellows building. Further In Regard to the Queen. Additional particulars as to the stranding of the Queen wero gleaned yesterday in conversation with those on board, the vessel not leaving the iain streot wharf till half-past one in the afternoon. It eeems that about the time she made Tillamook head the fog showed signs of closing down, when the vessel was put under slow bell with the lead going all the time, and sixty fathoms water reported. About a quarter past nine on the night of the 3d Pilot Wass took charge, and after assuming control anchored the vessel some distance from the automatic buoy, where they remained till just after one the next dajT, when the fog lifting enabled them to see a little ways in. The vessel was put under way and after passing the black buoy, No. 4 was picked up, the ship going under ordi nary headway, and two men in the chains taking soundings. When about abreast of the red buoy the fog closed down and tho vessel swung to the south where she struck. The engines were reversed, and for a con siderable time were kept going but it was evident that other means would be needed to get her ofi", so after firing the guns which we in Astoria heard so plainly and which brought the Brcnham from the Cape, Capt. Alexan der determined to send the passengers ashore. The great point was to keep the vessel from being driven farther up on the sand, and the passengers having been all got of and sent up on tho tug3, one part of the crow assisted by Astoria 'longshoromen started to throw some of the cargo overboard, while more under immediate direction of the officers got out a bow anchor. Capt. Gray who had hastened with tho Gen. Canhy and a scow on receipt of the news of the stranding, got up alongside and taking tho anchor and several hundred feet of 12 inch haw ser got it in position. This was a ticklish piece of business, the night being thick and the locality a danger ous one. Block and tacklo was at tached to the ship capstan and the lines hauled taut, and at midnight work began to koop the vessel from going farther on shore. So success ful was this that by daybreak she had been brought off several feet. By this time the tugs had come down, an account of xvhose ablo work was given 3resterday. A Little Sprinkle. At daybreak yesterday the fog was thicker than at any time in the last week; it seemed to be in strata; near the ground was a dense layer of thick, blue, resinous smoko, thon camo an azure stratum of finer smoke tinged with traces of pyroligneous acid of just about the same quality as wo used to manufacture in boyhood's days in the smoko house when the timo arrived for tho manufacture of sidemeats and hams. Suixiriinnosed on this was a bluish gray fog and smoke combined, through which one could just see the roofs of the houses, above was presumably the ordinary fog. Objects a hundred yards away were indistinguishable. About half past nine there was a slight clearing awa3T and a gcntlo rain began to fall. Those who were in tho street stopped in surprise at the phenomenon, others, remembering the dato, said "Septem ber Gth; sure enough," while all seemed pleased that a shower how ever light, should favor us with a visit. By one o'clock in the afternoon rain was falling in a steady, upright, down right, bnsine3S like fashion, and never was rain more welcome. Tho side walks were warped and dried, the houses were dry, the streets were dusty, the woods wore on fire, the wells were empty, the waterworks were nearly so, tho very air needed washing and everybody felt uueasy. That's why the rain is so welcome in Astoria. Already thoso menacing smoke wreaths have gone, tho air feels fresher, and a good many people who wore scared on account of firo enjoyed their first comfortable sleep for six months last night. If it will just pour down and keep on pouring for a week every one will be pleased. Y. M- C. A. Regular business meeting this even ing at 7 o'clock, a full attendance is desired. Carl A. Hasox, Secy.

The city was decorated in honor of the day and a great proces sion paraded. The procession was four hours in passing a given point. Tho first wagon contained reminders of the early days of Minnesota, and Indians in all their simplicity, some seated in birch bark canoes. Besides theso were log cabins and thirty-day stago coaches, and the inevitable 'prairie schooner," containing an em igrant and his family and his posses sions. Then came a wagon filled with baggage, representing the early days' express business, followed by a wagon on which a car was placed "Minneapolis to Portland, via the Northern Pacific Railway," After these came magnificent models, com plete to the ninutest detail of the im mense Washburn and Pittsburg mills, and immediately following were wa gons containing machinery from the mills, contrasting the earlier days of milling with tho present, and showing the improvements which had taken place. Tho lumber interest was duly represented in a series of wagons, tho first containing a large log un hewn and ending with a house in pro cess of erection. In many of the ve hicles the machinery was arranged with leather bands attached to the hub3 of the wheels, so that the ma chinery was kept running during" the entire parade, and wheat was thrash ed and ground, and lumber sawed and planed along tho whole route. It required nearly four hours for tho procession to pass a given point. In the Hue were fourteen bands, fifteen companies, of military, 134 men ou horseback, S29 wagons, 2213 horses, and thousands of men engaged in var ious flour and lumber mills of tho city. Such a vast industrial proces sion has probably never been seen in this country, and in it was represent ed every vocation in life. Not the least attractive object was a wagon containing a band of Indians, listen ing intontly to Father Hennepin, tho first missionary in Minnesota. Tho president of tho United States, General Grant, General Sheridan, Secretary Lincoln, H. Villard, and a large party of notables reviewed tho procession. Con siderable was dono in the way of speeches, and the entire party of visitors went to St. Paul where sub stantially tho same scenes were en acted. At tho latter city Presidont Arthur said: "1 am glad to take part in the festivities. Tho great accomp lishments which they commemorate may well be celebrated, and tht mayor, as well as the residents of your city, which stands at tho gateway of that highway stretching far out in the western sea, congratulate themselves, as they aro about to enter upon a career of renewed prosperitj'. Com ing to you from that wonderland of America, I have traveled thousands of miles over tho Northern Pacific rail way. Nothing I have read, nothing I have ever heard, has equaled that space seen, which has convinced me of the importance of this great enter prise, and that it has not been over estimated by its most sanguine friends. All honor, then, to the zeal and energy which has given to their enter prise such tremendous success." The presidential party returned to Washington, the railroad visitors took tho train for the scene of the lasFf spike festivities. Fargo, Dakota, was reached last Thursday. Bands of music were out, and sereral thousand people filled tho platform steps aud the park, 550 school children being on the ground in the park. Speeches were made by a dozen or more of the excursionists. General Grant said: "I came out here to be imposed on, but I see greater ovidencs of enterprise in your city property and in your country than I anticipated, and all promises aro great for tho future. Although I have crossed the United States much, and visited nearly every territory, as well as slate, it is the first time I have ever set foot in Dakota, and I am glad to be on so solid and substantial a foundation." Tho party left Fargo for the west, Thursday night. Fine Books at Auction. An opportunity to purchase books seldom offered. Standard works of Eng lish literature are sold nightly for half of their usual rates, or at private sale during the day at equally good bar gains. Such works in good binding as Gibbon's Home, McCaully and Hume's England, sets of Buhver, Diekens, Thackary, Waverly, Irving, Elliott, Bronte, and all the standard poets, in cluding Longfellow, Whittiers Farm" Ballads and a fine collection of Juven ile Works.
