Cooked Groceries, A fire alarm from box 31 ealled out the de- partmentat 11 o'clock yesterday and when the hose companies reached the ground they found a dangerous fire under way in the gro- cery store of J.

The whole interior of the building was en- veloped in flames and it was necessary to throw an lmnense quantity of water before the fire couid be subdued sufiiciently to por mit the firamen to enter the door and dis- cover the point from which the flames were emanating, It was discovered that the main part of the fire was located in the cellar, but the blae, fod by ligit and dry woodwork, poured all over the store and set all the shelving afive. A half hour's stubborn fight was necessary before the fire was gotten un- der control. When this was accompli shed the entire stock was ruined excepting a fow kinds of bulk goods kept in cases and barrels under the counters.

Garri placed the value of the goods at8535. He ob- tained possession of them, and hurried them L 10 one seems to know where, he soizave of gambling utensils under the law of Towa does not seem to amount {0 much. The goods ave seized and held until a court pass upon the matter, and determine whether they should be destroyed or not, and before such a hearing can be had the owner can replevin, gain possession and carry them off. There’ can hardly be any damages claimoed of the owner if the goods are not r turned by hind, for all that is wanted of them is to destroy them, a virtual concession that they are worthléss, It secis, therefore, a good deal of a farce and waste of time and fuoney to seize them, Carrige is still breathing thre against the ofticers, and promises seve zo suits against them and He claims that they took the warrant. Yesterday moruit rant was issued for & his private rooms. He this without a protest, ing was found there. A in one room was locked, as it contained pri- papers of valie. The officers were ous of this and made asecond trip, first getting Carrigg to bring ulong the key. The search here was likowise in vain, No gambling utensils were discovered, Carrige pronounces the proceedings a bit of spite work, and says thatif the authorities really mean business and want to stop all gambling, they should shut up two or three places which are running right under their noses, of whose esistence they should be aware, as oficers supposed to know tis going on in the city. He claims that illwill by his refusal to pool with some others whoave interestea in gamb- ling places, he beivg urged to go nto a com- bination by which all the gambling houses could open up of old. He also s that tho officers are set against him b cause he has been bailing out some nocent, and persecuted fellows, inste: tting them lio in jail.
