CHICAGO DAILY NE: SUNDAY, DECEMBER 1 872 11 HORACE CREELEY. Additional Incidents in the Last Moments of the Great Journalist. His Funeral fo Probably Gccur on Tuesday in New York City. ‘Profound Regret Over IWis Death Thronghout the Country, Special Despateh to The Chicago Tribune, New York, Nov. 80.—The remains of Horace Greeley are still at Dr. Choate’s residence, at Pleassntrille, near the Chappaqua farm. Dur- ing the last of his illness, Mr. Greeley was muct reduced in flesh, but in death his face Tetains the expression of gentle benevolence that beamed from bis conntensnce in life. The World makes the following remarksble statement in relation to the last daysof Mr. Greeley: y “Ti is probeble that Mr. Greeley's mind had been serionsly affected before esen the Presi- dentiel election took place. Thesevere taxupon his mental and physical system was produced by the great labor which he performed immediately before the October elections. The disastrous result immediately after; and the chagrin which e felt at the consequance to the Tribune and to himself from his candidature. The illness and death of Mrs. Greeley preyed constantly upon his mind, 8o that before the final decision of the Presidential contest, even, his vigor of mind had been irreparably impaired. After that time snd before his fatal illness, it is understood that he a8 examined by Dr. Brown and other medical experts, and that the opinion given was that, . even hod it been possible for him to have survived the sickness ‘which has resulted in his death, he wonld have remsined a victim of melancholia, one of the most incurable forms of dementia. The Evening Post considers Mr. Greeley's desth physiologically, remarking, *His merely snimal constitution was one of grest strength, and had he lived, as his father did, the tranquil life of the farmer, he also would doubtless have lived to near a hundred years of age. Hishab- its have always been strictly regular snd temper- ste, and we suppose he has never known any- thing of the ordinary disorders to which most men are accustomed. He was capablo of immense endurance end immense wear and icar, His wealmess then was in the sest of his intellectnal nafure. Mr. Greeley's dearest friend would not think of ignoring that he was 4 man of altogether pecu- Jiar and eccentric qualities. The weak spot of Tis constitution, and whero the disease fastened itself when the circumsiances occurred which _were destructive of & healthy condition of the _ geat of the moral and intellectnsl faculties, was the brain. The fact is evident that, whetber from natural causes or too much mse of the brain in Mr. Greeley, it was Mt organ which, under excessive strain, would give way. Those familiar with his life Inow that this is mot the firet time dosth bas threstened him from the seme ¢ause. Tho brain gavo way and the inflemmation disor- ganized his whole system, and Lo sunk as men of less note 50 often do, When & chronic tenden- ey to disease of the bruin becomes by some sud- * den calamity or grest emotion, an acute attack from which there is no possible recovery.” Mr. Greeley's funeral 1 this city nextTuesday will be 3 very imposing demonstration. A large number of civic societies are preparing to take part in the obsequies. [0 the Associated Prees.) New Yor, Nov. 30.—The accounts published of Mr, Greeley’s last moments, represent him to have been conscious. During the day, as is asaal in cases of inflammation of the brain, bis ‘physical guffering was_estremely slight, but en Incressed snd morbid zotion of the mind was evident from extericr manifestations. At half- yut 5 o'clock an old family friend, known as <Auntie” Lamson, entercd and approached his bed. Mr. Greeley waa then romsed by a friend and asked: “Do you know _who this is7” He fesbly said: “Yes” sireiching up. his hand i ceting, and then relapsed into hie reverie. Later, ho was 2sked: Do you know thatyou are dying?” - ‘and in the same manmer, without tremor or emo- - tion, he anawered : “Yes." ~Again, when asked if e recognized Mr. Beid, he looked up with mmediate_Tecognition, Lifting his hand, he o M. Beids, axd fechly said, bot ds- Sinotly, Yea." When asked if he wes in pain - he laidhis hand npon his breast, but wi oub otherwise replying, and returned to his semi- unconscions state, Jying now with closed eyes and hands, sometimes _twitching nervously, but generslly stll. At balf-past 6 o'clock ho stirred uneasily, and began to mutter in- . distinctly something which his friends around him conld not catch. His daughter Ida, Mr. and Mra. Stewart, Mr. Carpenter, Dr. Choate snd “Anntie” Lamson were all in the ¢ ious - 40 heer his leat words. Mr. Greele; incily murmured for a while, and at last he feebly Baid: “Ibisdone.” Therewas no evidence of pain in his last moments. The face was hardly Changed, only settling a littl into a leok of per- -fect peace. Dr. Choste was by his bedside, and ntting his hand to Alr. Greeley's heart said: Ho ia gone.” The remains were dressed and 1aid to await removal in the parlor, while a few friends remained to watch throngh the night be- side him. His remains will lie at Mr. Choate’s Touse to-dsy, snd to-morrow night will probably be brought o this city. Heis eaidto have died amuch poorer man than ho was popularly supposed to be. The following, probably the last politi opinion ever uitefed by Mr. Groeley, i of in- st : On Nov. 15, Mr. Greeley was at his home at Chappaqua, aud a prominent, Liberal Republican from Connecticnt visited him, and fonnd him in Joig broken heslit, & conversation was had 88 1o the campaign.

Raid on Their Dens by the Police Last Evening. Eleven Houses “Pulled” and Sixty-Eight Persons Arrested. The police authorities have apparently become sware of the fact that there are gambling saloons in Chicago. Bince the new gambling law went into effect, faro dealers have enjoyed immunity from arrest for some reason. The locations of the dens were well lmown, and the headquarter officers were aware that strangers and citizens were being robbed every night. The gamblers considered the 1w an excellent one, when they found it was not to be enforced. Last night, however,” Buperintendent Washburn awoke from his long nap. Assembling about_fifty men at the Harrison Street Biation, and thirty st the Union Street Station, he di- vided thém into squads of eix and eight, and sent them forth to make s raid. The orders were to arrest all tho inmates of the houses and eeize overything in the places.” Thoedict was carried out to the Ietter, and about 11 o'clock Isst night policemen could be seen on LaSalle, Clark, State, and Madison streets carrying tables, chairs, stoves, Bofag, carpets, and everything else that tends to make a room comfortablo, addition to these were bags full of checks, bushels of cards, & cart load of check racks, and a basket full of deal boxes. Quite a number of the blers had bean notified by some ono that the polica wero out, and consequently sbont one-third of the houses were closed. In afew of the others no games were going on; but the people within wers arrested. Subjoined is a list of the places visited, and the number of inmates captured : John Whitney, No. 47 Clark street, 4 inmates ; Charles Dubois, Room 70, Exchange Building, corner of Clark and Washington streets, 2in- mates ; George Bruce, Morrison Building, cor- ner of Calhonn place and Clark streot, 18 in- mates ; Gus Green, No, 879 Clark street, 7 ne- groes and 1 white man—the latter, & profession- al, wanted to change his luck ; Paschal Pollock, No. 402 State street, 6 inmates; Nike Mc- Donald, No.427 State street, 2 inmates ; William McGuire, No. 1409 State sireet, 4 inmates; Will- jam Talcott, No. 965 Wabash ayenue, 6 in- matos; Charles Bartlett, No. 64 West Aadison street, 8 inmates; J.

At 1 o'clock this morning flames issued sud- denly from the rear part of the firat floor of the three-story - brick building, Nos. 259 and 261 South Clark street, and before an alerm was given the whole of the first fioor, from front to end, was one mas of fire. The nearest box was ab the corner of Adams and Clark streets, nearly two blocks from the burning ‘building, and hence a policeman ran direct to the Central fire alarm offico, which is half a block nearer. The Fire Depsrtment were delayed eomewhat by the anow onthe ground, but arrived Boon enpngh to prevent the flames from totally destroying the structure. The building was owned by James Mathetws, and wos d: extent of $2,000; said to be mn::e%flmfit:fi floor was occupied by W. D. Pahlman, whole- sale wine merchant. ~ His stock, which he claims to have been worth $14,000, was entirely con- sumed. Ho was insured for $12,000,—8,000 in the Pheenix, $2,500 in the Black Falls River, of Watertown, N. Y., and 6,000 in two other companies. The second floor of No. 259 was occupied by Mr. Batcheldor, whose loss will not exceed §200. The remaining floors of both buildings were oc- cupied by Mrs. Hawley, who keeps & boarding house. Herloss was abont $300 ; insured for $500. She has about thirty boarders, snd they were greatly excited. In their efforts to get out of the building some fell down atairs and barked their knees. All saved their effects, and carried them back to their rooms when the fire was out. The origin is a mystery. The New York Markeét.

Ald, McAvoy eaid this was practically the last meeting of the Council. There were many ‘members of the Council sbout retiring, who had been in the Council for many years, among them Ald. Holden. He had been asked on this occasion to present to Mr. Holdon a token of the esteem of ‘his many friends, something he could look to and remember that his servicos had not been nn= recognized. He had been in the Council for ton yoars and hind been o haxd wiorker, voting upon all important quostions. ~Ho would presont b with 87 volumes of the American Cyclopmdis, and hoped that in perusing these volumes he would learn that the Jabors of & statesman wera not always unrecognized. Here, amid loud applause Alderman McAvoy ‘handed Mr. Holden the pile of volumes. "Ald. Holden, though taken sback, neatly and briefly roferred to the multitude of causes which had produced that remarksble series of vol- ‘umes, snd the improvements which had taken place'in the city during bis ten years of service in the Council. _ STBEET ESDS.

DAGGY said that a8 he had been called to the chair mors froquently than any other Alderman.in the Conncil, hie must say something. Whether these courtesies were extended to him on account of his dge or good looks he did not know. If he had erred in rulings, his errors had been of tke head and not of the heart. They might ssyhe would die hard, but he wished to assure the Council that he left the Council Chamber of this sl.;st) ‘ovening with & lighter heart than bo bad ne ever before.

Why did the Board of County Commissioners o its Building Commit~ tee let the contract for buildinga sewer at the In- sane Asylum to a plumber who sub-let it to a mason, and why did not the county deal directly with the man who did the work? The time for paying the water tax has been extended_ten by the Board of Publio Works. If the persons who are indebted to the city for water o not psy befors that time the penalty will be added, and their water supply ‘shut off.
