From September 10, 1833, to August 15, 1884, inclusive, there were twenty-five fire alarms turned in at the central station. Of these ten were caused by burning chimneys, and the only serious fire of the year waB that of June 1, when O'Brien's totel narrowly escaped destruction.

Among the books lately received at The Abtobian office is one entitled "Why I am a Republican." It is logical, terse, timely and brilliant: gives a history of the party it defends, is comprehensive in its nature, and is a graphic and complete presentation of Republican principles.

It will be the last meeting held before the present Pacific coast freight contracts expire, and will be the most important in. the history of the association, because it will decide as to the method of con ducting the transcontinental traffic next year. The question whether the present contract system with cities on the Pacific seaboard shall be continued upon pres ent terms will come up. Cities which enjoy the contract system are: Portland, Astoria, Tacoma and Seattle; and in California San Francisoo, Los Angeles. Stockton, Sacramento and Marysville. It will also be decided whether only such shippers as now enjoy contracts shall be entitled to them next year or whether the rates will be thrown open to all ship pers, large and small, in these favored places.

At 3 o'clock yesterday morning the Metropolitan hotel at RoBeburg took fire and in a comparatively short time was burned to the ground. The hotel was full of guests, some of whom were severe ly burned and otherwise injured in trying to make their escape from tho burning building. The fire burned rapidly and destroyed two business blocks before be ing entirely subdued. N. Johunsen and family had left hero some days ago on a visit to their friends at Coos bay. They were stopping at the Metropolitan, intending to take the stage the next morning, when tho dreadful calamity overwhelmed them. Mrs. Jo hansen was got out in a fearfully burned condition and the unfortunate lady ex- Eired in the greatest agony shortly after. Lr. Johansen and his son were also badly burned, and others were seriously in jured. Louis Ziegler, the proprietor of the hotel, was also burned to death, the whole catastrophe being one of the most terrible in the annals of southern Oregon. 'KXri'SA ME, MK. PERETTA.' A. Baldatta, who was given five years at Salem last week on conviction of as sault with intent to kill, left on yester. day morning's steamer for the seclusion granted by a generous public. Tho even ing before his leaving, however, occur red what our narrator calls "a circus in tho jail." It seems that there was some accounts between Mr. Baldatta, and a gentleman named Peretta, said Peretta being noted for tho urbanity of his man ners and the strict rectitude of his every transaction. Baldatta claimed that Per etta owed him $140, and had got Peretta to pay his attorney $32 for him, leaving a balance due according to his figuring of $88. This Peretta disputed, and Baldat ta naturally desiring to have matters squared up before bidding Astoria fare well, sent for his debtor and the two had an interview in tho cell. No settlement was arrived at and on Monday evening Peretta, accompanying his lawyer, was ushered into the presence of Mr. Baldat ta, who rose and did tho honors of tho tank in which he was confined with all the grace that the limited nature of his re sources would allow. A stormy scene en sued, and finally after much jawing on both sides tho p. a. succeeded in making it manifest that Peretta owed Baldatta about $G0. Baldatta's eyes flashed and as his visitors rose to make their adieux and breathe the freer air of the exterior when the prisoner said "Ah. Excusa mo Mr. Per etta." Peretta turned and as he did so got a tremendous blow from the infuriat ed convict. Seizing the unfortunate Per etta he showered blow upon blow and had he not been promptly pulled off by the sheriff and his deputy, who hastened to the scene of conflict, he might have had a little weightier charge to answer, which would bo a matter of serious regret to all concerned. It seems that after tho little difficulty at Sand Island for which Baldatta gets five years, that worthy skipped to Cath lainet and after as he supposed every thing was all serene ho charges Peretta with writing a letter to him telling him that it was safe to come back. He also thinks that Mr. P. has something to do with getting him in his present fix. "Why didn't you go for him when you had him in the cell by himself?" asked an official as they went aboard tho boat yesterday morning. "Ah," said Baldat ta, with a most expressive shrug, "what ees it you say? Business before pleasura. I was not then a settle mi account with the gentolman. I waita till the books are fixed up." He further said that he felt as if four years of his sentence had expired, it did him so much good to get satisfaction from tho man against whom he bears n grudge. K. OF P. OFFICERS.

Present Council men Case, Cooper, Cleveland, Dealy, Smith and Trenchard. Mayor Hume was not present. Councilman Case on motion took the chair. Tho object of tho meeting was stated to bo the discuss ion of the matter of extending the time for the Astoria Street Railway company's going on with the work. The first question being in relation to tho time, it was given as the opinion of tho city attorney that a new ordinance was essential to enable the company to begin the work. Councilman Dealy thought that the ordinance should be drafted with reference to the rights and convenience of "the citizens of Astoria. An ordinance giving C.A.Knowles and J. Q. A. Bowlby, successors to the Astoria Street Railway company, the right to lay a street railway on certain streets was read. Councilman Cleveland thought that tho ordinance was defective; that it did not contain all that it should mid pointed out several matters that in his judgment were necessary to make the or dinance satisfactory to the public and in accordance with the convenience of those who would use the road for travel, and the requirements of the public. An or dinance granting similar franchise to the city of Pnrtland, now in force, was read and commented on. Councilman Dealy moved that a similar ordinance was drafted and that Messrs. Bowlby and Knowles be given a franchise as request ed, to be, in general, in accordance with tho provisions of such ordinance, such details being incorporated in tho ordin ance as might be required. Councilman Cleveland seconded the motion. The motion was carried aftor amendment to tho effect that the parties asking the franchise be consulted in the drafting of the ordinance. On motion the council adjourned. . THE OLD STEAMSHIP 0RE00X. The old pioneer steamship of tho Pa cific, the Oregon, owned by Holladay & Brenham, has been sold to Adams & Blinn, lumber 'dealers of San Francisco, who will convert Tier into n sailing vessel bark-rigged to carry lumber from Hood's canal, at Seabeck, Kitsap county, W. T., to San Franoisco. The San Fran cisco Times of a late date says of her: The Oregon is a historical steamship. She was one of the three (the California, Panama and Oregon) built in 1818 by tho Pacific Mail Steamship company, with the aid of tho government, to ply between Panama and the then newly ac quired gold regions of California. She arrived at San Francisco March 31, 1849, from New York, touching at Panama, with about 350 passengers, and bringing the first United States mail to California from the Atlantic states, which, with tho passengers, came on board at Panama. Among her passengers was John W. Geary, the first postmaster of San Fran cisco, present governor of Pennsyl vania nnd general in tho Union army. Alfred Robinson was then agent of the company. She made twenty-eight round voyages to Pan ama from 1849 to 1855 inclusive, having steamed in that time 182,000 miles, and carried at least forty thousand passen gers to and from this state without ever meeting with an accident. On her first arrival here she was commanded by Cap tain R. H. Pierson; and her officers were R. L. Whiting, W. C. Dall and Thos. Huntington, afterwards promoted to be captains. In October, 1850, the Oregon brought the news of the admission of California as one of the states of tho Union, and the flag sho wore on the oc casion is the one recently presented to the society of California Pioneers, In the spring of 1SGL sho was sold to Messrs. Holladay and Brenham, who used her in their coast steamship lino to the northward. Her last direct trip to Panama was made in February, 1855. In the fall of 1858, when the Tehauntepec route was opened, sho went to Ventosa via Acapulco, and thence to Panama where sho remained until tho summer of 18502 when she returned to San Francisco. During the Frazer river excitement, in the summer of 18G8, she made a trio to Victoria and back, commanded by Cap tain Patterson, and on the return pas sage, while crowded with passengers, sho was wrecked on Point Reyes, some miles to the northward of San Francisco harbor, but with her usual good luck, she just scraped on tho rocks and glided past, with only a splintered plank or two" as a proof of her narrow escape. She has al ways been a successful, money-making vessel, and it would seem to be almost an act of ingratitude for tho company to part with such an old and faithful ser vant, but for the fact that she will float longer and to a better purpose in her future useful career as a sailing vessel. Her boilers and machinery have been taken out, and she will bo docked at Hunter's Point in a few weeks and ex ainined.
