Too MUCH MORPHINE.
John H. JOry the Victim Of an Over
Dose Of this Fatal Drug.

AS the JOURNAL goes to press 1t
learns that Father John H. Jory, of
South Salem precinct, who has been
sick for some time past, had taken
an overdose of morphine and that
his life was dispaired Of None OF
the facts could be learned definitely,
but simply that messenger came
over post haste for a physician
who is now at his bedside.
Being an intense sufferer from dis
ease, Mr.. Jory has been able TO find
relief only in the use of this deadly
drug, and is supposed that in his
agony he was led TO take a potion to
great for his system TO withstand
The many friends Of this respected
family win anxiously await the
news of Mr.. Jory's early recovery

so even II | were personally in
clined, as had no right to set aside
the findings of a legal ecclesiastical
court, whether favorable or unfavor-
able 20 me but must abide by the
verdict rendered until reversed by a
higher court.
Since this sham trial has been
held, the findings of which | have
only discovered by reports published
in the public press, not having re-.
ceived from the so-called trial con
ference any notice Of their action,
large number of annual conferences
have been held, all of which de-
nOuuced the Illegal action of these
parties in strong language, as a
gruss Islander upon me and an out
rage up,u the church. Two of the
participants having t2cn suspended
from all their official functions, and
one deposed from office aud expelled
from the church, by the annual con
ferenccs of which they were mem
hers. Moreover, the.y conferences,
since in session, have unqualiliedly
endorsed me in my position, aud
requested me To proceed In my
work, and give no heed whatever
to the so-called suspension. This !
have been doing, and shall con-
tinue to do.
1t was our purpose to avoid all
friction in our local societies as much
as possible, guarding, OF cource, all
property rights, until our general
conference has decided the question
at issue. A large majority of the
annual conferences having already
given expression to their sentiments
it is easy to forsee what that decision
will be. At any rate, my mind is
quite calm and undisturbed, while,
however, | very much regret the
trouble the "secedersn have given
themselves and us, and our people.

Defends Himself in the Oregonian la =
Vigorous Manner.
PORTLAND, Or, May Bishop
Bowman, who has just returned
from presiding over the Albany con
ference, has this communication ia
this mornings Oregonian:
THE DEPOSED BISHOP.
Whereas rumors have been in
dustriously circulated on this coast,
that the undersigned, who has been
one of the Evangelical church for
fifteen years, had been suspended"
from his official functions, brief
explanation ought probably be given
to the public in justification Of my
self and those who have acted with
me.
The general conference of our
church, which is composed Of dele
gates elected by the different annual
conferences is the highest tribunal
in the church. Its decision on all
questions is authoritative and final,
there being no higher court of APP
peal. This body fully represents
the church, its delegates being elect
ed 10y ballot in accordance to the
numerical strength of the conference
represented. The last session of this
body was held in 1887, in Buffalo,
New York. With the findings of
the same, in certain case coming
up for adjudication, number OF
delegates were dissatisfied, and in
stead of accepting its decision and
working peacefully in harmony with
the church, organized an independ-
ent publishing company, aud have
since published a paper of ther own,
in opposition to the official publica-
ton OF the church. In this paper
fierce assaults have been made upon
the general conference, and especial
ly uLon the officers elec ed by that
body, but more particularly against
me.
This paper continued its assaults
upon me and my character 80 per-
sistentiy, and in such coarse and
vulgar language, that it was believ-
ed 10 be necessary to make an
inquiry into the correctness OF their
assertions, in accordance with the
directions of the discipline Of our
church. This court, after a tho
rough examination, gave me the
following verdict
"As result Of our investigation,
made agreeably with the foregoing
facts, we state
/. That We are fully convinced
that said Tumors ana accusations,
one aud all, are unfnundeh and
utterly unjust
=. That there il therefore ru
