Passage of Resolutions by the Port
land District Association.

The particulars of the death of the late
Rev. DIR. O. j. Clark are these He had been
In good health on his arrival in New York
last week, but on Wednesday he complained
of a severe cold, and was suffering so badly
from a sore throat that the following day he
remained in his room in the Sturteyant Hou e
and medical aid was summoned. The ply
sieians said that his illness was a diphtherit-
ic sore throat. Sunday morning Mrs. Clark
and her brother arrived from Portland and
found DR.. Clark apparently much improved.
About noon his symptoms became more
alarming. He had great difficulty in breath
ing, and rapidly grew worse, and before any
relief could be brought he died from stran-
gulation. A short time before his death he
dictated a letter to his eldest daughter Mel
lie.
The Portland District Ministerial Associa-
tion, atits meeting yesterday morning, passed
these resolutions:
