A FRENCH JACK SHErPARD-TuE STORY OF
A YOUNG SCAMP.-[ Paris letter in New York
Times. THE famous affair Of Gelinier ter
minated yesterday, the young scamp having
been sentenced to twenty years imprison-
ment. David. Richard, Jacqua, and the girl
Mathev were acquitted; TouZard and Mouret
received fifteen years at hard labor, and
Renault ten years OF recluSion. If | rcmcm-
Der rightly, | have already told you of my
acquaintance with the i!luStrious Gelinier
during the siege, he being then large boy
of thirteen and nearly full grown. His
mother is concierge of the house in front Of
the kioSque where | was accustomed to
buy MY morning and evening Journals,
and Geinier was nearly always there, gene
rally engaged in reading the feuilletons
in the papers lent him by the dealer.
| was much struck by his good man.
ners and modest bearing, and still more by
his intelligence. lie then expressed himself
extremely anxious to get work in order to
help his mother, for whom he had a real af-
fiction. His continued reading Of bad novels
gave him the idea of forming band OF rob-
bers and of distinguishing himself in the
world. At fifteen Gustavus Gelinier was the
chief of a band which had already committed
thirteen robbericS, and was detected on the
fourteenth. After being arrested his sole
idea was to get his name into the papers,
and he confessed to a number of robberie>,
five of which were accompanied by aSsaSsi-
nation. In one case he gave so many details
about killing sleeping guard by driving Il
nail through his head that the body was en-
humcd, and it was found that nothing Of the
kind had occurred, and that Gclinier only
knew of the case by reading of it in the pa
pcrs. 1t was proven in very satisfactory
manner also that he had no share in any OF
the ASA, sinations narrated by himself, and
that he had formed these little romances
upon newspaper items in order to make a
reputation. In his cell this perverted young
scoundrel began to write his memoirs, and
in the first chapter made himself out real
Jack Sheppard. He writes very well, and Is
clever with his pencil. The Judge had seye-
raj OF his sketches before him, Que represent

CuIcAGo. September 11.--The total loss by
the fire TO-DAY is estimated at from $3.50, 900
to 100000. The number Of buildings de-
stroyed Is sixty.four, only one of which Uhe
packing-house of Richard NJ. Oliver 81 Coz
was of brick, the remainder being wooden
tcncmcnts from one to three stories high, and
occupied mainly as residences and stores, or
shops and dwellings combined.
The fire originated in the depot from q
spark which flew in from q passing train.
Almost before an alarm could<be sounded
the entire shed, with its iuGammable con-
tents. was a mass Of flames. and there
being mt the time stiff breeze from
the southwest the first engines had
scarcely arrived before the fire had
spread to q row Of wooden houses on the
north, and from them to the buildings
on the east side Of Halstead street.
\ second alarm was now struck, and soon
afterwards third, which called to the scene
the entire Fire Department, which was soon
at work with courage and energy which
challenged the admiration Of every one.
In the mean time the streets in the line OF
the fire were literally swarming with people,
burdencd with every variety of household
goods, rushing to places Of safety.
The vacant lots west Of Haistead street
were soon covered with furniture, bedding,
clothing, &C., which the fleeing inhabitants
of the doomed dwellings had managed to
save.
Intense excitement prevailed in the neigh
borhood, and many people living several
blocks from the line of the fire began to pack
up and move their portable property.
The dry goods firms of Field. Lester 4
Co. and Farwcll & Co., as soon as they heard
of the extent of the fire, sent all their trucks
and teams to the spot, and placed them at the
disposal of those whose houses were threat.
cned. Owing to the effective work of the
Fire Department, however, the removal OF
many proved unnecessary.
At Mitchell street the flames were stopped
in their progress northward, while its spread
in a westerly direction was stayed OH the
