The Worlds Fair Fire.

1t is greatly TO be regretted that the
affairs Of the worlds fair were not wound
up without a disastrous accident of any
kind. The fire on Monday is blot on the
splendid record the fair made. The loss
caused by the fire has not yet been ascer-
tanned, and will not be until it is known
how badly the exhibits are damaged bv
water. The exhibits are in boxes in the
manufacturers building There are
i2,GGG Of these boxes and they have an
average value each of 5000. The whole
value Of the exhibits, therefore, that were
exposed to fire and water was So, GOO, 600
The exhibits belong to foreigners and
they have been kept at the fair grounds
by custom house complications. All of
the domestic exhibits We're removed long
ago, and according to the understanding,
the foreign exhibits were to have been re-
moved by Dec, Is.
Unfortunately for the exhibitors, the
insurance policies expired on all
of these goods several weeks
ago, except those belonging to
the Germans The Germans have poll
.cies in German companies amounting to
about 100000. They will not, there
fore, be heavy losers. 1t is believed that
the japanese will suffer the heaviest loss.
The value Of their exhibits is said to be
about 5000, 900
The loss on the buildings will not be
great The casino and music hall might
have been sold for good round sum, be-
cause they contain great deal of valua-
bic wreckage, but it would have cost
more to tear down and remove the lmanu-
facturers' building than it could have
been sold for
Ever since the fair closed there have
been, among the exhibitors and fair man
ayers, lively apprehensions of fire. 1t
was almost impossible to guard the build
ings as they should have been guarded.
not only on account of the expense, but also
because of getting guards who would dis

dated National Bank, this afternoon
stood before United States Commissioner
Craig a prisoner, charged with EN- bez-
cling $47 900 from the bank and with
falsifying the banks books. Baker at

years.
In default of $500 bail he was com
mltted to prison TO answer the charges
before the United States district court.
Baker first went to the bank in the ca
pacity of runner. His attention and APP
parent faithfulness brought its reward,
and he has been gradually promoted. un-

will be utterly discounted before the end

FISH AND THINGS.

Mr.. John McGarvin, the Alamitos
fisherman, was in town yesterday, and
he gave us large block of information
about the piscatorial condition along
the coast.
Two years ago he organized a COM
pany for the purpose of cultivating the
eastern oyster in tine inland waters OF
Los Alamitos. As it was an expert
ment, but small quantity of York bay
seedlings were put out, but they have
thriven exceedingly well. They have
grown finely, and have demonstrated
tent, propagate themselves in the very
congenisl waters that form the estuary
at Los Alamitoe. They are now about
five inches long in the shell, broad and
thick, and the meat is fat and luscious.
The company are 80 we'll satisfied with
their experiment thus far that they will
stock their oyster beds this spring with
a very large plant of eastern seedlings,
and if the present signs of propagation
chow that sufficient breeding may be re-
allied to keep up the plant, the company
will be in possession of very fine prop
erty, and have advantages over the
oystermen of San Francisco bay that
may make thia the bivalve market for
the whole state.
A short time ago it was noticed that a
large quantity of dead and dying 6sh
were washed up on the beach. The
greatest number seemed to be washed
ashore from Point Firman to Newport,
and, with the exception of a few sea
bass, barracuda formed the great bulk
of the fsh brought in by the rollers. A
variety of opinions were advanced to
account for this mortality amongst the
barracuda, some supposing that sub
marine eruption or earthquake had been
the cause others that some epidemic
| had broken out from which vast num-
bers Of the fish had died. But both
| these eurmises are now diacredited.
No submarine earthquake could have
occurred without the shock having
been felt ashore, especially ss the phe-
nomenon must have taken place be-
tween Catalina island and the main
land. And again, the defamation would
not have been confined to one Hpecies
of the tinny tribe, but would have been
disastrous to all that abound in the
channel. The fact that considerable
number of hslibut have also hoated
ashore ID accounted for from the pres
ence of great shoals OF porpoises having
visited the channel this season, and
they are deadly ensmiea OF the hRlibut
The herald., 1894-03-04

The people along the beach have come
to the conclusion that the mortality
amongst the barracuda lie the result OF
foul play on the part of unprincipled
fishermen. 1t is we'll known that the
barracuda at certain seasons hoat DOR
mant under the surface IN the channel
in immense shoals, and that they cannot
then be induced to rise to the most en-
ticing bait. The belief is that unscrupu-
lous fisherman dropped explosive bombs
into these shoals with the result that
thousands OF them were killed by the
shock of the conclusion, and that those
that we're not secured by the man who
killed them eventually hosted ashore.
This theory is sustained by the fact that
the market was largely supplied with
barracuda shortly before the time they
commenced to wash ashore, and that
since that none have been seen on the
market stalls. The fish commissioners
have been made acquainted with all the
circumstances of this singular occur
renee. and are investigating it. Men
who would thus destroy food fish ought
to be severely punished.
