An Astorian reporter called upon Mr. Louis Hartwig at his rooms, 241 Ninth street, yesterday, and found that gen tleman "somewhat disfigured, but still in the ring," and hopeful of taking up his dailv business routine todav. Mr. Hartwig was lmdly burned across the nose and mouth, from one cheekbone to the other, and his right hand was in volved in the scorch, by the accident which befell the launch Trifller on last Saturday evening. He says he was not guilty of the idiocy of investigating the gasoline tank on his boat with a lighted lantern as has been claimed for him, but did put the lantern in-ide a locker ten feet away from the tank, for the purjrose of get ting out the funnel which was kept there, and the explosion was due to the fact that gasoline had vaporized on the funnel in such quantities as to set up the explo-ion, and the fire ran along tue sides of the launch in such vol ume as to force all hands, to-wit, Messrs. Chester Winkler and Reese Einroerson, his guests, and himself, over the side. The two former left the boat entirely and were lucky to find shallow water to stand in, while Mr. Hartwig, not dar ing to leave the launch altogether, clung to the brass handrail, and as soon as he had doused the fire on his clothes, climbed aloard, hailed ' his friends, fetched a "Commodore's sweep," picked them up and returned to the city. The accident occurred on the sandliar oppo site the city, in the dark, at 8:15 o'clock, and wa, mot happily, not productive of any worse results. Messrs, Winkler and Kmmerson suffered nothing further than some scorched garments. The party had intended going across the river to Knapton. The Astorian, 75 cent a month. MARINE NOTES.

A meeting of the Astoria chamber of commerce was held at the rooms on Dnane street last evening, at which quite a number of the leading business men were present, notable among whom were noted J, W, Surprenant, Samuel K.lmore, A. It. Cyrus, Judge- J. Q. A. Itowlby, A M Smith, President James V Welch and Secretary C. It. Iliggins. The following matters were preeuted for consideration and were disposed of by the chamlier: The committee here tofore apxiinted to provide a safe and suitable enclosure for the McTavlsh monument repotted tlmt they had de cided upon, and had ordered, iron net ting of sufficient caliber to amply pro tect the monument and that iiton its arrival the. work of enclosing would ls carefully finished. The r oit was in all things approved. Judge Bowlby made an Interesting statement in regard to the Country Fair exhibit, and in the course of his re marks ic was suggested, and unifoimly agreed that some of the grains, grasses and other lasting displays now in the fair, should be transferred to the chain 1"T of commerce rooms, when the exhi bit ion shall have closed. Incidentally, a cordial vote of thanks was extended by the chamber to the original coin mittee in charge of the Country Fair, Judge Itowlby, (!. W. Umnslicrry and O. I. IVtersen, for the masterly fashion in which they had organized, arranged and conducted the exhibition to date. Discussion ensued as to the best meth ods of preserving such of the displays as it may be possible to keep for future use, and the mater was left ots-n until the date of final closing. Mr. F.lmore, who reprinted the City of Astoria and Clatsop county as a dele gate in the recent National Irrigation congress at I 'or tin ml, made a verlwl re port of the transaction of that body and his part in the same, concluding with an expression of regret that the con gress liecamn so factional over certain of the issues pending as to quite nullify the work of the convention as a whole. The report of Mr. F.lmore was adopted. Thee matters dispensed with, the iitemlsTs indulged in an informal dis cussion of certain conspicuous) local questions, such as the momentary build ing boom now apparent here, ami it was particularly noted tliat the big in vestment represented thereby were, I each and all, purely Astoijati, no out , side capital figuring nnywlime. The question of the erection of a new hotel in Astoria was also debated, in term jthut indicated a warm endorsement of 1 the shrieking iiceeity for such an im provement, and there ua not wauling Isoine pretty plain evidence that the gen tlemen involved in the discussion would J lend a prompt and helping hand if the project slioiihl present itself in tangible 1 form. - Adjournment w-as then taken.
