Dr. Garner's Hesitation.
To the Session of the FifU Presby
terian Church of Astoria, Oregen:
Gentlemen: By request of the
meeting of tho members and congre
gation of our church, called on Tues
day, July 10, 1C38, to consider the
resignation of our dearly beloved pas
tor, Rev. E. W. Garner, wo hereby re
port the unanimous feeling of the
meeting to be that we fully appreci
ate his earnest, able and loving labors
among us, and feel that this bond
which unites him to us as pastor aud
people, can never wholly be broken
while ho lives. That wo deeply de-
ploro tho irreparable loss wo should
sustain in tho bevering of our
relations with him as paster, teacher
and friend, and anxiously hoping, if
possible, to retain him after a much
needed rest, wo suggest a vacation of
three months, to begin immediately,
with the regular salary continued.
The foregoing communication was
submitted to Dr. Garner by tho ses
sion last evonmg, to which he
replied in nflectionato terms
but stated that it was with
great reluctance, and even pain,
that he felt himself obliged, on ac
count of impaired health, to adhere
to his former resolution. "

Serious Illness of Samuel J. Randall
Genpral News Notes From AH Tarta of
The Country.
(special to the astoeian.)
Pitisbdbo, July 1L The freshet
in tho Monongahela river is almost
unprecedented, and great damage has
been done to river crafts, and prop
erty all along the river from its head
waters to this city. The suddenness
of the rise took the river men entirely
unawares and they were not prepared
when the great volume of water burst
upon them. Millions ot feet of lum
ber, scores ot coal crafts, fences, out?
nouses, wnen coal topples, are (low
ing down the river for the the last
18 hours. The river at this point is
still rising with 21 feet and 9 inches
on the marks at 9 o'clock, but it is re
ported as stationary with 42 feet at
Greensboro, a hundred miles above
this city.
At every point between Greensboro
and Pittsburg, the landmarks are
under water, and residents have been
compelled to live in the upper stories
of their houses, and in some cases to
seek the hills for safety. Many had
not time to remove tneir goods; as
the water rose at the rate of one foot
an hour, and at Greensboro a 32 foot
rise is reported in less than 24 hours,
The damage to property cannot be
estimated at the present time, but it
will reach away into hundreds of
thousands of dollars; so far but ono
life has been reported lost.
r.ANDALIi's ILK.TJS3.
Washington. July 11. Many of
Saml. J. Randall's colleagues in con
gress made nymg trips to-day over to
his home, which is only a few blocks
distant from the capital, to enquire
into his condition; while pages were
sent to and fro by the members who
could not go.
When occasion seemed to require it
Mrs. Lancaster, the eldest daughter
of Mr. Randall, came to the door and
gave the necessary information to the
callers. Sue appeared to be more
cheerful than yesterday, and showed
a confident belief that her father
would recover from the attack. He
rested quietly during the morning
aud has taken and apparently assim
ilated liquid nourishment. It is not
expected by the family, however, that
Randall will be able to resume the
discharge of his duties in congress
dnring the present term.
THE REPUBLICAN COMMITTEE.
New York, July 11. Groups of
distinguished gentlemen stood about
the corridors of the Fifth Avenue
hotel for hours thi3 morning before
the Republican national committee
went into session. Nearly all the
members of tho committee were pres
ent and probably tho selection of
officers will bo named to-day or will
be discussed. Tho man most promi
nently spoken of in connection with
the chairmanship of the committee
was senator Matthew Quay of Penn
sylvania, and his absence from the
meeting is considered as bearing out
tho probability of his selection. Con
gressman Bayne of Pittsburg is also
prepared to act as proxy for Quay.
He said that the latter wouid accept
if general Harrison desired him to do
so.
Among others named as probable
candidates are John C. New of Indi
rna, J. S. Clarkson of Iowa, and Rep
resentative Hyde of Massachusetts.
Senator Piatt is the most prominently
mentioned as chairman of the execu
tive committee, and W. L. Dudley
of Indiana, was another candidate. "
A few minutes after 12 o'clock the
committee went into session. The
proceedings wero held in private,
with J. S. Clarkson of Iowa, as tem
porary chairman, and Sam'l Fessen
don of Connecticut, temporary secre
tary. After a session of about half
an hour the committee took a recess,
having appointed a committee of nine
to report a plan ot organization and
ono on candidates for permanent offi
cers. HANGED AT WILMINGTON.
Wilmington, Del., July 11. Ste
phen Freeman, colored, convicted of
raping a white woman, was hanged
here to-day. The execution took
place in the jail. Thirty-six wit
nesses being -admitted as requested
by law. Several applications were
made to tho governor for pardon or
commutation bnt after careful con
sideration they were refused. Freo
man protested his innocence to the
last.
OUT OF JAIL AND IN AGAIN.
Dublin, Jnly 1L Patrick O'Brien,
a member of parliament for Tip
perary was released from Tullamore
jail to-day. He was immediately
taken in charge by officers and con
veyed to Kilkenny jail where ho will
undergo a further imprisonment of
three months for another violation

LAST EVENING'S SUNSET.
"What a beautiful sunset!" was the
exclamation that rose to many a hun
dred lips last evening. It was indeed
a sunset that the pencil of the artist
or the pen of the poet could alone
perpetuate.
Above the mighty river that flowed
in silent majesty to the sea, there
hung long lines of clouds in most
fentastic form, Lofty minarets and
tapering spires; rippling seas and
mountain peaks; graded slopes and
trim terraces, were all represented iu
the cloud continents that hung in the
blue aerial ocean above where tho
sun was sinking in splendor. Molten
.gold and glowing scarlet and deepest
crimson tnrew ineir reuecieu color
on tho town below and lit up the
eastern sky with a borrowed glory,
and as though shifted by celestial
hands the scenery changed, each
moment more beautiful, till the blaze
of vivid color faded into the gray of
twilight and the blue and silver of
the night; while on the hillside was
the rustling murmur of the breeze
among the firs, mingled with tho
sounds of the sea, as though Nature
were running her hand over the key
board of creation, striking
here and there a chord, before com
mencing he majestic symphony of
the night, when the great arches of
light shall have been lifted into upper
ether, and half of our swinging little
planet lies wrapped in shadow.
And then as if answering "Here" to
their names at God's eternal roll-call
the stars stepped out into the blue
vault above and stood iu glittering
constellations, their eyes twinkling
as though in tears over the poor mor
tals below who were getting out n
newspaper for fifteen cents a week
and catching salmon for ninety cents
apiece and doing lots of other things
that those starry sentinels nightly see.
.
An Explanation.
What is this "nervous trouble" with
which so many seem now to be af
flicted? If you will remember a few
years ago the word Malaria was com
paratively unknown, to-day it is as
common as any word in tho English
language, yet this word covers only
the meaning of another word used by
our forefathers in times past. So it
is with nervous diseases, as they and
Malaria are intended to cover what
our grandfathers called Billiousness,
and all are caused by troubles that
arise from a diseased condition of the
Liver which in performing its func
tions finding it cannot dispose of the
bile through the ordinary channel is
compelled to pass it off through the
system, causing nervous troubles,
Malaria, Billions Fever, etc. You
who are suffering can well appreciate
a cure. We recommend Green s Au
gnst Flower. Its cures are mar
velous.
