At half -past eleven last night two fish ermen pulling ashore near tho Point Adams cannery, saw a bright flame shoot up from tho middle of tho roof of H. Brown's saloon, where tho upper Astoria road makes a sharp turn to tho cast, op posite tho Point Adams cannery. They gave the alarm, bat the firo had already been seen by members of tho department in the city, and in a short tiuao tho fire bell'woko up the city. Two's hose cart started on a run, followed by Alert I. & L., the boys on a dead run. When going up the hill above Loinenwober's tho hose cart broke down, and farther on, as the truck dashed around tho corner, it ran to one side, severely injuring JohaDunn, who was on the tongue. No. U's engine came thundering along behind, and the other hoso cart, which was jnst in front, came on with such force as to jump tho road bed and into a big gulch just under tho bent work on tho wharf of tho Point Adams Co. "Win. Smith, of Sibson, Church & Co., was flung on an immeuso stump, and as tho hose cart struck the stump and fell over on tho ground, it was thought Smith was killed. Ho was carried on the bank, a doctor summoned, and it was thought at 2 o'clock this morning that there was no danger, though he complained of a pain in his shoulder. Mayor Humo cut his hand badly in trying to save the truck. M. Studzinski was also injured. To thoso who stood by it seemed miraculous that a dozen men were not killed. The hose cart was pretty badly shook up and under tho circumstances it was lucky that no worse result ensued. No. 2's en gine went to tho end of tl o dock, but whether it was that the pamps were over heated or other cause she would not work. Tho firo had broken out in tho saloon of H. Brown on the corner opposite the Point Adams' cannery. Brown was car ried out apparentl intoxicated and ter ribly burned. The flesh of the unfortu nate man sloughed off in cooked strips. He was removed to tho hospital in a hor rible condition. Tho saloon burned fiercely and tho building in tho rear, occupied as a dwelling and tho unoccu pied houses east of it w-o also burned. These three houses belonged to Brown. East of tbat was a house owned by Max Wagner, said to be insured for 2,000 and occupied by Engineer Green. He saved some of his furniture. The house was partially consumed and is a total loss. Fully 1,000 men went'up from town and tho 'department worked hard to get the.tangled hose and damaged cart out of tho gulch and put out tho fire. They were successful in preventing tho firo from spreading, and tho Astoria box factory with great piles of dry lumber, tbe Point Adams Packing Co.'s promises, now owned by Gsorgo & Barker, and Will McGregor's house were saved by what seoraed a terrible hard hour's work. Four buildings were burned, involving a loss of G,OO0. At half past two this morning the fire was all out, and tho Astoria firemen came back. Astoria engine Co. No. 1 was on deck and had got as far as O'Brien's ho tel with their engine and hose cart when they were stopped, as it would hardly do to leave tho city unprotected. Tho pres ent dry spell, with water none too plenty and two oT the ho30 carts stove up, it is necessry iorevearyone to b9 doubly care ful about fire. Five minuter the start would make a ttrrible blaza in any part of the city. A Good Cigar, Just as good as you usually pav a bit for, can be had FOR FIVE CENTS at C. P. Wilson's. STATE TEACHERS' ASSOCIATION. Yesterday morning's bracing air brought vigor to the frames of tho visit ing teachers and the buoyant step and sparkling eye gave evidence of the appre cialion of our cooler temperature of tho ocean. The lodge room of the I. O. O. F. was fairly filled at !):3Q; Supt. McEiroy opened the day's proceedings with an account of what had been done and what they hoped to do. Mr. C. C. Brower. of St. Helens was the first on the list "cf essayists and handled his theme "The Legal Rights and. Duties of a Teacher" in an able manner. Mr. Brower's experience bus made him cognizant of tho difficulties ofttimc3 besetting a teacher not aware of his legal rights or his duties and his re marks wero of a practical nature. The lecture evinced deep researchand thorough kno'.vledge of the subject and was well received. . . , Prof. J. B. Horner, principal of the Roseburg schools, gave a valuable half hour to tho discussion of "School Hygiene," an important topic, and ono only too sadly neglected. The import ant questions of light, water, ventilation, sanitary precautions, school grounds, etc, received due and sensible notice. After tho professor had concluded his interesting remarks Sjipt. McElrov ap pointed as enrolling clerks Mrs. i. E. Martin, Misi M. E. Lawrence, Miss May Trnnrfifinl. Miss Dora Badollet of As toria and Mr. Curtis B?ird, superintend- j ent of public instruction of Clackamas county, after which u recess was taken. Upon reassembling Miss Bredull of East Portland favored tho audience with a brilliantly executed fantasia on . the piano, after which Prof. M. L. Pratt de livered a thoughtful lecture upon "Men tal, Vocal and Physical Methods in Reading.' Probably no branch of a common school education is more slurred than the study of reading, and it is second in importance to none. It is an art. Science is organized knowledge. Art is tho application of science. la this reading may be considered as an art. It is to bo acquired. It make3 demands on teacher and pupil and unless the teacher knows how to teach ho or she can accomplish nothing. In this as in other branches a certain amount of knowledge on the part of the teacher is indispen sable. Prof. Pratt was most happy in the treatment of his subject and demon strated that his pupils deserve to be con gratulated in possessing so able an in structor. Tho afternoon session was finler m at tendance. On tho Telephone and later on the Jiced came 200 more from up tho valley, and it began to look as though the Oregon school teachers had captured our city. Tho Odd Fellows building was headquarters and after Sapt, McEiroy, whoso fertility of resources? is only equaled bv his ability to carry oat his plans, had bestowed the arrivals here and there, quiet was restored and those nresent listened to a crand address on "Voice Culture." bv a fine example of 1 its potency Rev. Dr. Roberts of ibis citj'. Himself a living exponent of the wonderful power possessed by the human voice, ho addressed his hearer? as ono who, thoroughly conversantwith Ike sub ject, was desirous cf impressing npon tho minds of the educators of tho youth of Oregon the necessity of constant atten tion to their pupils voico culture. A man's power of expression is the meas ure of his power in the community where ho resides. Ho illustrated tho practical value of voice culture and asserted that no professional man could afford to bo ignorant of the art of nsing his voico to tho best advantage. Dr. Roberts' re marks were in their enunciation a good model of tho doctrino ho was in culcaling and his manner of expression furnished a good object lesson. Miss Helen Holman, of Salem followed with a solo, following which Prof. Royal, of Oregon City, then spoko eloquently of "Habit building in School,' showing how it was just as easy to form gocd habits as bad ones and just as hard to break them: arguing the great necessity of the forma tion of correct uaoits ami the need lor observance in this respect for the teacher as well as the pupil. "Enclish Literature in Public Schools,' was the title of ono of the best efforts of tho kind over delivered in Orgeon. Prof. Wetzel handled his subject with tho zeal of a master. He insisted on tho irapor- tance of early culture in this regard, of eivinc pupils an insight into the wealth of literature and guiding their tastes to a selection of lino specimens oi puro Jn glish. He brought out tho reason for his argument by showing how a skillful teacher can awaken a love for good liter ature in tho hearts and minds of thoso temporarily intrusted to his care. Prac tical illustration was given of an exer cise, tho text being Goldsmith's "Desert ed Villago." His plan is to tako up somo author of good repnto and analyze one of his works, bring in whatever extraneous matter that may be of value to tho sub ject or that may tend to throw light upon it or make it more interesting. Ho held, and rightly, that a love of literature, a tasta for pure wholesome reading is ono of the best safeguards to throw around tho youth of both sexes. Prof. Gubser, of Washington county, followed in a clear, matter of-fact expo sition of discipline and rules essential for the well being of a pnbtic school, his essay forming the conclusion of tho after noon exercises. When th3 association reassembled in tko evening, standing room was at a premium. Had tko capacious kail been larger it would hardly have accomodated the throng, anil any one who saw the steady stream of ladies and gentleman going up stairs last even ing need not question the interest thnt tho people of Astoria tako in educa tional matters. After somo exquisite music, Rev. M. L. Rugg, of Salem, was introduced by Prof. McEiroy, and proceeded to give a brief exposition of his views regarding educa tion. The need of eduoation,the ends and aims, tho effects; tho kinds, tho sources of supply; tho duties of parents, of edu cators; the part tho state should assumo and rightly claim, tko moans of incul cating morality, tko difference between tko false and tho true all this and much more did the reverend centlomcn in fit ting phraso set forth. His stvlo is cap tivating ana convicting. ins argu ments, like well set gems, flash from every facet tho light of reason and of truth, and his discourse is well worthy of mora extended notice than it is in our power to give. A vocal duet by Prof, and Mrs. W. A. Wetzel followed Mr. Rugg's address. With complimentary remarks regard ing tho state of Wisconsin, Prof. Mc Eiroy introduced Mis3 Addie Ray Cook, of tho Wisconsin State Normal School, who read an essay on one of America's pioneer educators Horace Maan. The subject of her remarks was born in Mass achusetts in the early years or tuo cen tury, and after a youth of privation bo came a school teacher. Quick to see Ike disadvantages under wkich common sckool education at tkat day labored bo be gan to agitato tko necessity for normal sckools, and as stato superintendent of sckools in Massackusetts ko labored for twelve years for tko aosompliskment of kis object With persistence and a kigk ideal of duty ke worked in tke face of wkat would have daunted a less deter mined man, and in 1833 ke succeeded in founding the first normal school this side of tho Atlantic In his maturer years honors flowed in upon him. Ho died in August VD, and his memory is commemorated Jin statuary and sculp ture, but tho most fitting monument to the memory of the pioneer educator is the system to which he gavo so tremend ous an impetus and which to-day acknowledges tho surpassing services of that earnest advocate of tho needs, tho rights, tho duties and proper qualifica tions of the' teachers of the United States. A trio sung by Mrs. W. A. Wetzell, D. A. Mcintosh and H. G. Smith followed Miss Cook's essay, after which Miss Emily Hculat of Salem, recited an inci dent of tho civil war. A solo by Prof. Z. V. Parviu preceded a recitation "Archie Dean," by Miss Josie Bryceof this city rendered in an inimit able manner. A'delightful waltz closed the evening's entertainment and the vast audience waltzed out. Owing to the lateness of the afternoon hour the paper on the "Truo Work of a Teacher," by Miss A. L. Dimick of the Portland Central school, and tho general discussion "Should tho Pupil's Record Follow Him" were postponed till this morning. Following is to-day's programme.

On Saturday evening, says tho Orego gonian of tho 7tk, quito a painful acci dent befell Mrs. Josio Robb, of Astoria, now visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Curtis, at Forest Grove. On rotiring for tho night, Mrs. Robb had occasion to re move the lamp from a stand to the floor to assist in tho search for a ring tkat sko had dropped. On setting tho lamp down it exploded, pieces of glas3 and burning oil flying in every direction. Tho explo sion was heard by other members of the family, who rushed in and found the room a perfect blaze, a portion of tko carpet and one wall being on fire. Tko flames were quickly subdued by tko aid of articles of clothing. Mrs. Robb was found to be seriously burned upon ono arm and foot and received slight injury upon tko forekoad. Her kair also was pretty badly singed. Jier physician ro- ports that while her injuries aro very painful they are not necessarily ularra- iug. It was also a miniclo that she did not receive tho burning oil in tho face. Tke lamp was an ordinary one, and was thought to be nut more tkan half full of oil Wide Awake Druggists. Messrs. W. E.

A SAX FRANCISCO LETTER. Tke California Grocer and Conner kas a correspondent kero who says a good many tking3 not usually published. He writes somo spicy letters from here re garding Ike salmon industry on tke Co lumbia river, and discourses on matters and tbings in a way of kis own. Below is kis latest a3 it appears in our San Francisco contemporary of tke 3rd inst. His letter is dated June 20tk: Tko largest cannory on tko river re ceived last year, in tke first week of June, 7,530 fish, against 8,952 for tke samo pe riod in 1835, but tkis is ratker larger than tho average falling off and is to some ex tent attributable to tho fact that tho number of boats employed this season is somewhat smaller tkan during 18S4. Tkcro can be no doubt wbatever tkat tko pack up to date is very muck below last year. Careful inquiry in Astoria and at tke canneries along tko river seems to point to a great falling off in tko catch. One cannery in Astoria, which last Juno at this timo reached 1,000 fish per day, now reports a daily catch of 500. Tho daily averago per boat for tho montk up to tko 19th is not more than nino fish. The traps are not stopping the salmon as they did in 1834, and the trap men ae selling blue-backs, six to eight for ono salmon to thoso cannery men who are ready to put these fish into cans. There are canners who will not bavo tkem at any price. Tkeso will doubtless be called "Columbia river salmon." Tbe scarcity of now nets will from tke present timo kavo moro effect upon tko catch of fish. An old net wkick went tkrougk tko kands of tke averago gentle fisherman (wko did not own it) last season is now a very small impediment to tko salmon. Perhaps in no singlo particular is a chango so noticeable, as in tho item of nets. A now not, complete of Barbour's twine, (tho only thread which meets tho requirements) 13 worth $350. Hitherto theso nets have been placed in chargo of fishermen at tho beginning of tho season, but this year many of the canners have determined to effect a decided change. Notwithstanding tho cry about "the poor hard working honest fiskermen"' tke canners kavo learned by bitter experience tkat it does not pay to placo tbeir, valuable property in tke possession of men wko individually could not offer security for a week's board. Tko history of tke past few years, .known to tkoso in tko business, kas proved beyond a doubt, tkat many nets are lost during tko year, and lost in a manner wkick cannot bo satisfactorily explained. To kavo a half drunken man turn up at tho office in tho morning with the news that ho has lost 300 fathom of net, and to elicit nothing beyond tho report that ko "got snagged" is a poor satisfaction for tko owner of tko outfit. But when you add to this tho fact that tko owner, by waiting dovclopements may find kis net fished by a favorito fisherman in another cannery as his own property, and rend ered unrecognizablo legally, you havo a condition of affairs which is as unsatis factory as it is prevalent. . ScTcral of tho canneries this year are being run npon a better plan. The pro prietors determined that tho timo had arrived when they would no longer sup ply fiskermen witk nets. Eack man who received n net was told that he must pur chase it, and pay for it with salmon. Of course many did not like this, but this is not a fisherman's year, so they had to agree to tko terms. Tko result ha3 been that many havo already paid for'their nets. They take great oaro to avoid snags, and upon dark nights they avoid the fishermen, for it has occurred to them heretofore to lose a net mysterious ly by approaching too near some active competitor. What might occur should ono of these new proprietors lose n portion of kis not, i3 sometking wkick is open to discussion, but tkis branch of tke subject is not in teresting to tkoso canners wko still run their own nets, and who supply new twino each season. One thing is certain, the canners who sold their old nets this voar, aro not subscribers to tho police boat fund, for they are not in a position to loso anything. The canner wko takes uo risks, but pays tho market prico of salmon, as they are received, may be rep resented by an individual who after be ing bled by the plumber and the dentist, looks coolly on and sees tho plumber with the tooth-ache, and tho dentist witk tke batk-tub connections "busted." Ho is not paying eitber. but is "getting even" witk both. Ho enjoys tho combination. Of course it won't do to tell all tho secrets of the trade, but it may serve as a subject of thought to say that many fishermen havo appeared this year with carpet bags and boxes which, when open ed, disclosed some fine Web, with various obliterated marks, and tho industry with which they lengthened their net after they began fishing, showed that if per haps they did oomo from the Sacramento, they speedily adopted tho manners and customs of tho country. Many of tho men fishing with new cannery nets have met with very serious accidents this sea son, but ono rarely hears of any loss boruo by a fisherman who used his own net. In fact there aro some captious in dividuals here who say that tho outsido fishermen will have more web at tho end of the season than they had when they began fishing. Perhaps tho web is elastic? A well-known packer, whoso portrait is supposed to adorn (?) each can of salm on which bears his label has made a wager of $200 with a representative of a skipping firm, tkat tko pack of S5 will fall skort of tko total of "84 by at least 200,000 cases. As tke packer referred to is not addicted to losing kis bets, tbis may bo taken as a candid expression of opinion, a raro tbing on tke Columbia river. uuuook. Ilttchleu's Arnica Salrc.
