SOME IlfTEREUPTEDDiSPATOHES San Fbaxoisco, Aug. 29. Justice Field, of the United States supreme court, this morning delivered an opinion in the application of the Pa cific railroad commission to compel senator Stanford and other officials of the Central Pacific to answer to cer tain questions in regard to expendi ture of funds for the purposo of in fluencing legislation. The opinion of the court is that that part of the act of congress creating the commission which invites the co-operation jof the court in assisting the commis sion to carry on the investigation is unconstitutional. The court there fore declines to make an order com pelling the officers to answer the questions, and also declines to make an order giving the commission ac cess to the booksof the various con struction companies.

Sewing Society. Uppeb Astobia, Aug. 27, 1837. Editob Astebian: The receipts of the fair of the ladies' sewing society of the Nor wegian Evangelical Lutheran church in April last was 93 dollars. The receipts of the fair held August 23rd was $72.30, making a total of 8165.30 the ladies have, so far, contributed toward purchasing lot and building of a church thereon. When pressing times are considered and the limited attendance of the last fair, the organ ization has reason to be thankful, next to God, to the ladies who so willingly aid with their handiwork the cherished desire of having, in the near future, a house of m their own wherein to worship the Giver of all good. The receipts of the last fair were greatly augmented by Mrs. P. ,W Johnson, of Alderbrook, who donated to the church a fine quilt o ner own make, which brought the handsome amount of 821.25. On behalf of the churoh I wish to express my heartfelt thanks to all who have so kindly extended an aid ing hand. Respectfully, O. J. Setiem, Secretary. Going to Alaska. .

Beck & Soxs. immmntimrrirwrtmmMm A FATAL ACCIDENT. Cnrtis Pcrrie Loses Ills Life on Yonnj River. There was a sad accident on Young's river last Sunday morning, resulting in the death of Curtis T. A. Perrie, a young man of extraordinary promise and a general favorite. In company with Otto Prael and Wilbur Babbage, all three being abont the same age, they started to go fishing up tuo iiiasKanme early &unaay morning. They were in a small din gy, none too large for one but alto gether too Bmall for three occupants. When about a mile above the mouth of the Walluski one of tho boys' foot slipped and he. lurched against the side of the boat, which tipped over and sent all three into the water. They were cool and realized their po sition. Curtis Perrie drew Otto Prael from under the boat and put him on its upturned keel and also aided his other companion to get hold of the boat. They were then in the water about six minutes, and he was about to take hold of tho boat and attempt to guide it and them to toward the shore, when the horrified pair saw him grow purplish black in the face and with one hand and arm curved in the air and the other pressed close to his breast the poor boy sank beneath the bubbling water which closed over his fair young life forever. Prael and Babbage screamed for help. Their cries at length were heard by A. H. Sale at his place, and John Sale and A. E. Turiay came as quickly as possible to their rescue. It was then about half past nine: they had been in the water abont an hour and a half and were almost dead from exhaustion. It is extremely probable that had aid been delayed a few moments longer thore would have been mourning in three Astoria fami lies instead of one. They were brought to town as quickly as possible and when they told of tho sinking of their unfortu uato comrade the Lillian was pro cured and a host of willing work ers went to the spot to recover the body. Several boats were en gaged in grappling for tho body, but not till a quarter to five yester day morning was it recovered. It was in tho same posture as when last seen in life. It was evident from his features and the entire absence of water in his bod that ho had not been drowned. The most probable theory is that in the excitement of the moment he had burst one of the large blood vessels of the brain. His throat w8 also gorged with blood, and he musi have suffocated before he reached the bottom of the river. Seldom has this community ex perienced more genuine regret than that evinced when it was learned that Curtis Perrie was dead. From every lip flowed expressions of sympathy for his mother and grand mother, whose idol he was. Brave, gentle and affectionate, a handsome, well-formed boy, with every promise of an honorable and useful manhood, it seems hard to realize that his young life has ended, and that noth ing is left of him but an aching void in the hearts of those that kcew and loved him. Truly may it be said of him: "None knew him but to love him; none named him but to praise." On his mother, Mrs. Annie M. Per rie, and his grandmother, Mrs. Dr. Trenchard, the blow falls with crush ing force. Both ladies are complete ly prostrated, The plain recital of the facts is a painful duty and if any word could lighten the grief of thosu to whom in life he was dear, how gladly would it bo written. Curtis T. A. Perrie was born May 19th, 1870. He was a general favorite in this city, his honest face, indus trious habits and manly bearing en dearing him alike to old and young. The funeral will be at 1030 this morning from the residence of Mrs. Dr. Trenchard. Services will be held at Grace Episcopal church, and the interment will be in the family lot in the cemetery on the hill. Unnecessary Misery. Probably as much misery comes from habitual constipation as from any derangement of the functions of the body, and it is difficult to cure, for the reason that no one likes to take the medicines usually pre scribed. HAMBURG FIGS were prepared to obviate this difficulty, and they will be found pleasant to the taste of women and children. 25 cents. At all druggists. J. J. Mack & Co., proprietors, S. F. The San Jose Boom. David Goodsell, who is visiting in San Francisco, wrote to a friend here about the boom in San Jose. He writes that the sales in San Jose ag gregate daily from $1,000,000 to $2,000,000. He saw thiee hundred lots sold at auction for $107,000; the owner had ten days before paid for them $50,000, and only $5,000 cash. The boom draws largely from San Francisco for the reason that everyone in I 'Frisco has heard of the Los Angeles boom and they donH want to get left on this one. He reports that there is nothing to warrant the excitement unless it is the climate and the fruit, as these are the only resources of the place. The country surrounding will not support a town of the capacity now laid out in town lots. It is only a question of time before the plow will bury the corner stakes and the "new addition" will exist only on pa per. JSews,4n.

Editob Astebian: In reading a paragraph in the edit orial columns of Sunday's Astobiak, that the high court of that august body.tho Ancient Order of Foresters, has resolved that it will submit to no dictation from the British body, even if we sunder ourselves from such su preme court, as our fathers did from the all-claiming England. And whereas this resolution has attracted the attention or tne associated press, and that most of your readers un doubtedly know very little about this body, or upon what point nor the cause of such action, I -will undertake to impart a little more information on this subject. This resolution on the part of the subsidiary high court of the United States was not a hasty one; for, while attending as a delegate from Califor nia to the tenth subsidiary high court meeting, held in Philadelphia four years ago, (August, 1883,) the question upon which all this action bancs was discussed betweeu ses sions by the delegates from all parts of the United, states, ,as it was al ready a burning quesiion be tween the high court in England and S. H.C. of the United States (al though it was not then before that session for action). The Ancient Order of Foresters is the outcome of tho institution which was founded at Knaresborough Cas tie in England on the 29th day of Oc tober, 1745, under the title of "Royal Foresters," by which name it contin ued until, at a grand convention-of delegates held in Rochdale in August, 1834when it was chinged, and it is now known as tho Ancient Order or Foresters, and has a membership go ing well on toward i,uuu,uuu aoie bodied men above the age of 18 years, and with a reserve fund of 20,000,- 000. To become a member ono has to be between the ages of 18 and 4o years, ana no person can occome a member of the order who is either deaf or dumb, partially paralyzed, of unsound constition, in ill health, or minus a foot or hand, or sight of an eye, etc, etc., (as it is strictly a bene- uciai organization;. The S. H. C. of thoU. S. which was organized less than 20 yeurs ago, in serted in its general laws upon tho admission of membership the word "white," (respectable white person,) and it is around tnat pome wnicu an this action revolves. To be more ex plicit, nrior to the organization of the S. H. C. of the Ti-3., tho H. C. in En gland granted a charter, ana tliere was a subordinate court organized in the southern states consisting of ne groes, and upon their application to tho S. H. O. of the U. S., after its or ganization, they were refused admis sion to become a part or parcel of such body, or come nnder the juris diction of the S. H. U. of the U. b., when uoon their appeal to the H. C. in England, thatJiody finally ordered the S. H. C. of the U. b. to admit such courts; hence the final resolu tion of that august body, the to. t 0. of the U. S.'lafely in session. Although I have been- out of the order since coming to Astoria over 3) years ago, I merely write this to give these few facts, as it is strictly a fight on the color line, and between an American organization and its English parent, which has its off springs in all the colonies, and most of the foreigh countries. I. Tj. Osgood. Give Them a Chanre! That is to say, your lungs. Also your breathing machinery. Very wonderful machinery it is. Not only the larger air-passages, but the thous ands of little tubes and cavities lead ing from them. When these are clogged and choked with matter which ought not to be there, your lungs cannot half do theii work. And what they do, they can not do well. Call it cold, cough, croup, pneu monia, catarrh, consumptionor any of the family of throat and nose and head and lung obstructions, nil are bad. All ought to be got rid of. There is just one sure way to get rid of them. that is to take Boschees German Syrup, which any druggist will sell you at 75 cents a bottle. Even if everything else has failed you, you may depend upon this for certain. A Peculiarity of the Boom. Ono peculiarity of the boom is the fact that in many places the owners have been compelled to nail up a sign reading, "This Place Not for Sale.1' This is done to keep out the agent who is looking for pieces of property for his firm to offer the cam- biers.
