CATHOLIC CHURCH ON FIRE.-At twilight last
evening smoke was seen issuing from the base of
the large gilt the steeple OF St Paus Roman
Catholic Church on Christian street, below Tenth.
The alarm was given that the church was on nre,
and in few minutes an excited multitude OF men,
women, and children were in the streets Upon
looking up thin curl OF smoke rising from
IRE Companies went to the spot, snt their @ services
were not needed. Men went up in the Steeple and
discovered small smouldering fire, which was ex-
tinguished by bucket OF water. How the fire got
there is a mystery. Had it smouldered for an hour
later the magnificent structure would probably have
been destroyed perhaps involving loss OF life, as
service was TO have been held in the church in about
half an hour. The church was entirely DESTROYED

that addresses itself TO the honest pride of Phi
adelphians generally, Tor it is even now, splendid
avenue, and could be made the most magnificent
boulevard in the world. Improved TO the condition
its advantages warrant, it would greatly enhance
furnish an avenue the reputation OF which would
soon become world wide. We trust the meeting this

Vted, will be well attended, and result in definite
measures looking to the full furtherance of the OBJ
ject for which II Is called.
