-=sE4sssA -ITRms. Through q business let
ter, received from a friend In Galveston,
we learn the sad intelligence of serious
disaster to the Catholics of San Antonio:
Before this reaches You you viii probably
have read in the newspapers of the pecu-
mary loss 30 our diocese by fire. The paro-
chiai residence of the priest and the lately
finished charity hospital at San Antonio, in
this State, have been, burned during the
past Holy Week, This is "a severe blow IN
q diocese so vast rs ours, and yet SO poor
in worldly goods. The cause of the con-
fiagration have not yet learned.
The services of this Holy Season in our
Cathedral were very imposing, edifyiug and
most solemn. The decorations about the
and those onaEastef about the
high altar, though simple and as incxpen-
FBi9e as possible, yet were very tasty, md
reflect hoh6Fabfy upon OUT noble semina-
rians, vino, without lay assistance except
chat from Mrs. Flood, accompi shed it all by
their own manual labor, with time divided
between the lengthy church service and the
work. AT Easter High Mass large NUM-
Der of Protestants were attentive and
decorous spectators, and expressed them
selves highly edited by very eloquent
sermon delivered by Very Rev. Father
