a Wholesale Wine Merchant Burned
Out-Loss, $4,000; Partially In
s11red.
At1 o'clock this morning flames issued sud-
denly from the rear part Of the first floor Of the
three-story brick building, Nos. 259 and 261
South Clark street, and before an alarm vas
given the whole OF the first floor, from front to
end, was one mas Of fire. The nearest box
was at tho corner OF Adams and Clark
streets. nearly two blocks from the burning
building and hence policeman ran direct to the
Central fire alarm Office, which is half block
nearer. The Fire Department we're delayed
somewhat by the SNOW On the ground, but arrived
coon enough to prevent the flames from totally
destroying the structure. The building was
owned by James Mathews. and was damaged to the
extent Of 81, 600; said to be insured. The first
floor WAS occupied by ". D. Pah1man, whole
sale wine merchant. His stock, which be claims
to have been worth 81, 900, was entirely COL
eumed. He was insured for 81, ,O00, $4,000 in
the Phnnix, 81, 500 in the Black Falls River, Of
Watertown, n. Y, and 5000 in two other
companies. The second floor OF No.
$50 was occupied by MIR. Batche1dor,
whose loss will not exceed $500. The
remaining floors OF both buildings were oc-
cupied BY Mrs. Hawley, who keeps boarding
house. Her loss was about $500 insured for
$500. She has about thirty bonrders, and they
we're greatly excited. In their efforts to get out
OF the building some fell down stairs and barked
their knees. All saved their effects, and carried
them back to their rooms when the fire Was out.
The origin is mystery.

PUBLIC SYMPATHY

special Despatch to The Chicago Tribune.
NEW YoRK, Nov. 30.-The loss Of no public
rnan since President Lincoln has caused SO pain
ful sensation here, as the sudden and Ia
mentable death Of Mr. Greeley. The sad event
WIS not widely known until this morning, and
the mournful impression made by it has been
anpareut in all classes OF the community. It
ia generally admitted that h1r. Greeleys death
Is prematively duo to mental overwork, to which
vas added domestic af1iction at most critical
moment. Throughout the city and in the har-
Dor flags are at half-nast. Many buildings are
draped, some displaying banners inscrib ed with
Mr. Gree1eye dying words.
The newspaper reviews of LIT. Greeley's
career are mainly eulogistic, and most Of them
rfectionate. That written By Mr. Chamberlain,
EDITOR Of the World, and an Intimate personal
friend OF Mr.. Greeley, is most tender tribute.
The Hon James Brooks writes:

THE GAMBLERS.
Raid on Their Dens by the Police
Last Evening.
Eleven Houses "PulIed" and Sixty-Eight
Persons Arrested.

The police authorities have apparently become
aware OF the fact that there are gambling saloons
in Chicago. Since the new gambling law vent
into effect, faro dealers have enjoyed immunity
from arrest for some reason The locations Of
the dens were well known, and the headquarter
officers we're aware that strangers and citizens
we're being robbed every night. The gamblers
considered the law an excellent one, when they
found it was not to be enforced. Last
night, however, Superintendent Washburn
awoke from his long nap. Assembling
about fifty men at the Harrison Street Station,
and thirty at the Union Street Station, he di-
yided them into squads Of si1 and eight, and
sent them forth to make q raid. The orders
we're to arrest all tho inmates OF the houses and
eeize everything in the places. The edct was
carried out to the letter, and about II o'clock
last night policemen could be seen on
LaSalle, Clark, State, and Madison streets
carrying tables, chairs. stoves, sofaa,
