One of R R Marion's teams in dulged in another runaway yesterday morning, not quite so disastrous as the one just preceding, but yet un satisfactory in an economic point of view. Runaways are unusually numerous in Astoria this summer. v John Miller's milk team had an early rnnaway yesterday morning, starting from in front of Charles Wright's and running down Chena mus, scattering the milk cans and breaking the tongue of the wagon. They were finally stopped on the cor ner of Olney street, where one of the horses fell down. Business men along Squemoqua street from Cass to Olney organized a broom and Bhovel brigade yesterday morning, and energetically cleaned the filth off the street in a way that well illustrates the truth of the old adage: "If you want a thing done, do it yourself." 'Tis a good example and worthy of being followed. The Colum b ia in yesterday, is re ported in the dispatches to be the first in the line of San Francisco steamers to inaugurate the new rate to interior points. But an O.

AVeryPoorBuleThatWorksBothWayB The "Geneva" Wihs the Oenn Yacht Race. New York, Juno 24. Exohange this morning became extremely activo and excited with heavy declines. The markot opened with a feeling of 'con fidence in many of the stocks whioh suffered so severely yesterday and large supporting orders were given all over the room. In a few moments there was heavy selling apparent, and reports were circulated that Jay Gould was dead and that there had been a falling out between Jay Gould and Bussell Sage and Cyrus W. Field. At the same time heavy blocks of Manhattan stock were offered, caus ing prices in that stock to break from 156 to 120. The room was crowded with brokers and the decline brought out selling orders in all classes of se curities. Western Union telegraph stock began to break down about 11 o'clock and in fifteen minutes had dropped eight points. The fll in other stocks was correspondingly great. The greatest excitement was in the loan crowd where many inqui ries were made for loans on call, but parties prominent in loaning money refused to lend any amount, no mat ter how small. The excitement reached its greatest height shortly before noon and a ver itable panic was developed. No at tention was paid by brokers to frac tions in sales made by them and the fluctuations were so wild that sales were sometimeV from" five to ten per cent, apart. Stocks bought near the opening hours were thrown over when the break ocourred and this selling completely demoralized th specta tors. Wall Btrfeet was the fcc-up of more excitement than has beun wit nessed since the May panic of 1S85, but the increased short interest saved the money panic by its demaud for stooks for delivery, and -some large operators entered the market and be gan buying freely. They soon gath ered a large following and, by heavy buying, turned the market almost as rapidly as it had fallen and stooks took long jumps back to former prices. No failures are announced. Jay Gould denies the story that he and Cyrus W. Field had quarrelled, and says they are as good friends as ever. A SURPRISE AIi ROUND. Salinas, Cal., June 24. The trial or E. S. Simmons, for the alleged fir ing of the Del Monte hotel has come to a sudden close.

The prosecution, although taken by surprise, demanded that the case bo argued before the jury. INTERNATIONAL COURTESIES. Loceport, N. Y., June 14. The recent order of the Dominion gov ernment to Canadian customs officials at Windsor to make a record of all Amerioan residents at Detroit and vio'.nity, who daily cross the line to engage in work, has led to a counter move by the collector of customs at Niagara Falls and the suspension bridge. This morning, when the Canadian laborers engaged in employment on this side, reached the frontier of the United States the customs deputies demanded their names, ages, residences, occupations, and where and by whom they were employed. During the day notices were served upon employers of these foreigners that if they should con tinue to employ such foreign labor after July 1st the distriot attorney would be recommendejl to proceed against them according to law.

St., on this part of the insignificant little gob of mud we call "the earth," by the majestic appearance of the planet Venus. Although the sun was several degrees above the horizon and was shining with undiminished splendor, that brilliant evening star was glow ing in the horizon and as visible to the nude eye as the crescent moon, near which the sparkling orb was scintillating. And when the last rays of the declining sun had darkened into the gray of twilight which in turn mellowed into the blue and sil ver of the night, the Hesperian visit or kindled to a brighter fire and hung above the fir-fringed hills like the rounded essence of a million con centrated electric lights, its brilliancy occasionally overspread by twinkling tears as if in sorrow at the Bad lot of man at having to pay 20 cents for a little half-filled box of raspberries. That dispatoh about the railroad from Forest Grove here, whioh ap peared in the HJews last Wednesday and was copied, here the next morn ing, appeared word for word in the railroad news oolumn of the San Fraucisco Chronicle of the 21st the day before.

It is the duty of every person who lias used Hoselee's German Syrup to let its wonderful qualities be known to their friends in curing Consump tion, severe Conghs, Group, Asthma, Pneumonia, and in faot all throat and lung diseases. No person can use it without immediate relief. Three doses will relievo any case, and wo consider it the duty of all Druggists to recommend it to the poor, dying consumptive, at least to try one bottle, as 80,000 dozen bottles were sold last year, and no one case where it failed was reported. Such a medicine as the German Syriq) cannot be too widely known. Ask your druggist about it Sample bottles to try sold at 10 cents. Regular Bize, 75 cents. Sold by all Druggists and Dealers, in the United States and Canada. A strange looking animal was on ex hibition at the city hall corner yes terday afternoon, which had been caught robbing a henrooBt and killed therefor.
