A New Fish and Game Market.

Robert Krohn, who is we'll known,
has opened an extensive fish, game and
poultry market at 302 South Spring
street, corner of Third. Mr.. Krohn has
gained an enviable reputation in this
line, having been with Fred Haniman,
OF the Los Angeles fishing company, for
the past four years. This new estab-
lishment is one of the largest and most
elaborate in Southern California. He
will make specially of fresh fish, game,
poultry, oysters, etc. The market is
supplied with large refrigerating rooms
and tanks capable of holding several
tons of fish each. Mr.. Krohn will en-
deavor to supply restaurants, hotels and
families. with fresh goods at the low est
possible prices, and his well-known bus
mess ability will undoubtedly secure
him great success.

UPPER MAIN-ST. GULLS.
HOW THEY PAID GOOD COIN FOR A
CONTEMPLATING PROCESS.
A Patent Way to Make Five Dollar Gold
Pieces-One Man Who Paid Out Cool
Thousand Dollars for the Secret.

The Progress Californian, bi-hebdom-
adal French paper published in this
city, has, in its issue of yesterday, the
following sensational article:
COUNTERFEIT MONEY MAKING.
''For want of space we are obliged to
delay the publication OF the facts rela-
tive to the manufacture of counterfeit
five-dolar pieces in French house of
shady reputation in this city. The
counter6eiters, an Alsatian and Cuban,
left town hastily about two months ago,
after having skillfully duped French
scoundrel who is we'll enough known to
our readers. In few days we shall Get
at these fellows the whole force of the
United States courts"
The story is about as follows, as it is
known to the federal officers of this CITY |:
About three months ago an Alsatian and
and Cuban took rooms at a hotel on
Upper Main street. They had plenty cf
money and lived high. After a time
they began to make acquaintances, and
at last to one of the proprietors of the
lodging house they said:
"We have capital scheme for max
ing money" and on being pressed to
explain they stated that it was the man
ufacture of five dollar pieces. They had.
they claimed, smokeless furnaces. and
the work could be done anywhere with
out any danger of detection. One of the
gulls bit, and he was taken to the rooms
to see the process. The smokeless fur
mace was heated, some metal fused in
crucible and the dies prepared, and in
short time white metal fac simile of
gold piece was turned out.
"Now, then," said the Alsatian, call
we have to do is to plate this with gold.
and we will have five dollar piece
which will only cost us about four bits"
He took a small electric battery from
his valise, arranged the paraphernal;a,
and, during the pretended plating pro-
cess, by clever act OF legerdemain, he
changed the metal fac simile for a gen
uine five dollar coin.
"There you see." he said to the gull
they were working, "take that out and
spend it, and I'll bet you a hundred dol
lars no one picks it up for counter
feit.'
The chump OF course found no diff
Guilty in passing the coin, and not know
ing how he had been gulled, he paid a
tnousand dollars cold cash, in good gold
coin, for the secret. A fruit dealer on
Upper Main street, also, was gathered in
Tor small amount. as were several other
gulls. The sharpers reaped quite large
harvest OF good money for bad, and de-
camped without giving up to anyone
their secret Of turning white metal
piece into a gold fve-dollar coin. Though
they gave their victims full directions,
somehow they could not master the
details, and failed to get rich as fast as
they expected.
Several prominent members of the
North Main street colony were victim
lied, and will be put to considerable
more trouble if the federal grand jury
takes hold of the matter and makes it a
subject for examination.
The police learned of the work being
done, but too late to take action, as bv
some means the scoundrels got warning
and took flight.

HIS NAME is DENNIS,
And He Says That He Not Jacob is
the Babys Father.

The attorneys for the defense in the
$4,000 damage suit brought by Miss
Jennie Marshall against Jacob Taylor,
had an innings yesterday. Their de-
Tense is that Jacob Taylor, the defend
ant in the present suit, is not the father
of Miss Marshall's baby. Taylor testi-
fed at great length He swore that he
had had very little to do with Miss Mar
shall wien she officiated as waitress at
his hotel in Del Mar. In fact, Taylor
swears that he was never criminally in
innate with the complainant, and that
he never even visited her room. He ad-
mitted meeting Miss Marshall at the
Arcade depot in April, 1889, when he
was on his road to Arizona. He also
admitted that Miss Marshall went to
Arizona on the same train,
much to his surprise. He also had to
admit that he had stopped at the same
hotel with her at Phoenix, Arizona, and
that they had come back to Los Angeles
together, but that nothing improper oc-
Cured on the trip. Taylor also testified
that Iiss Marshall had told him that a
step-brother was responsible for making
her mother. The witness was cross
examined at great length, and made way
for Dennis O'Brien, the young man in
the case.
OBrien caused sensation by testify
ing that he had been criminally inti-
mate with Miss Marshall at the hotel by
the sea. He stated that the intimacy
began six weeks after the arrival of the
young woman at the hotel. The witness
appeared to be remarkably reluctant
to answer questions. He will be cross
examined this morning, when the case
Will be resumed.

FRANK DANIELS.
Frank Daniels has been smashing
theater records in the most reckless
manner. He has just played to the
largest week ever known at the Califor-
mia theater, San Francisco, and has car
ried away the banner left behind by
John Russell's City Directory company.
This is the third visit of Little Puck to
the Pacific coast, and that it should
have beaten the record of all other farce
comedies which preceded it is big
feather in Mr.. Daniels's cap.
Manager Frank Murray says that mot
only have they beaten the record in
San Francisco, but they carried away
the banner from Omaha. Salt Lake and
Portland, on their way to the coast
Mr.. Daniels and Little Puck appear to
be growing stronger every day. The
company is now the largest ever en-
gagged in the profession OF farce-comedy
in this country, numbering twenty -four
people. They open at the Los Angeles
theater for four nights, beginning Thurs
day, December 1lth, and no matinee.
THE SWEDISH QUARTETTE.
Illinois hall was racked last evening
with large and enthusiastic audience
to hear the Swedish quartette, assisted
by that most charming elocutionist,
Miss Barden. This quartette is under
the management of the Star Lecture
Fureau, and it certainly reflects credit
on the gentlemen in charge here for
bringing so high classed a company to
this city. 1t was more than appreciated
last night, as it received encore after
encore.
Miss Barden is simply delightful; she
captivated the audience from the start.
A concert by the quartette, assisted
by Miss Barden. will be given at the
Los Angeles theater, Monday night,
and will be a treat for lovers of quartette
music.

THE CHRISTMAS FAIR.
Residents of the West End Enjoy
Unique Entertainment.


The Christmas fair at the Plymouth
Congregational church, on West Twenty
first street, attracted a large number Of
the residents of the west end yesterday,
most of whom took advantage of the OPP
portunity it afforded them OF obtaining
articles suitable for Christmas presents,
and at the same time lending their as
slstance in substantial manner to the
good cause for which it was designed.
The fair is somewhat heavily handi-
capped by reason of its location, but
though little out of the way it is very
easy OF access, as it is only one block
distant from either Of the Figueroa street
car lines.
To give detailed account Of the al
most innumerable articles displayed up
on the tables in the various booths would
be well nigh an impossibility, as they
include nearly everything in the way of
useful and ornamental wares. The great
est difficulty to be encountered is that of
deciding what not to buy, as at every
table there are so many beautiful things,
that to look upon alone creates desire
to obtain.
1t has been decided upon to give mu-
sical entertainment, at which several
talented young ladies connected with the
church have promised to lend their ser
vices, and another interesting feature
will be added this evening in the shape
OF prophets cave, where fortunes will
be told for small consideration.
The supper room annex is one of the
specialties OF the fair, and has proved
one OF its most remunerative branches,
as it is crowded every evening.
The fair will be continued today and
tomorrow.
