CATHOLIC MISSIONS,
An Extraordinary Commission OF Cardi-
nails to Reorzsnixe Them.

RoME. July 3O.-The Holy See has Just
appointed an extraordinary commission of
cardinals TO reorganlze tho Catholic mis-
sions. Two years ago Cardinal Simeoni
prepared and communicated to the Pope a
plan OF reforms, in order to better regu-
late the action OF the Propaganda. But
the coming of General Simmonds from
England on special mission 20
Pope Leo in reference to the Cole
nal question had the effect of post
poning the execution OF the projected
reforms. as the Propaganda did not wish
to awaken the idea that the reforms were
made N consequence of an arrangement
with England. Any suspicion of such an
arrangement would have reused the great
est jealousy IN France. Leo. who has al
WAYS beel IN favor of the missions taking
a leading part in the work Of colonization.
has revived these projects or reform. The
inquiry of the Commission Of Cardinals
Will, II IL said. extend over the whole of
the Apostolic works.
TIE NATTER OF SOCIAL REFoRMa.
The Vatican does not intend 10 let the
question of social reform drop now that
the pope's encyclical has been published.
II Is stated thai inquiries arc still being
made and instructions sent To tire prelates
of all countries to encourage Catholics 10
90 their most towards nmoliOratng the
condition Of the Door and efecting the
social reforms urgel III the encyciical.
Herr Scbloezer. the Prussian Minister TO
the Vatican. will soon leave Rome for his
ordinary vacation. His recent negotia-
tons with the Holy See have had little
success. The Vatican ia greatly dissatis-
fed wirh the hardness with which Prussia
IL inclined 10 treat the most urgent eccle-
siastical affairs.
ART COLLECTIONS sCATTERED.
The recent economic crisis at Rome has
almost ruined many Of the great ancient
families such a. the Borgnese, the Sciarra.
aud the BarberInI. The Borghese family
appears u have been the greatest sufferer.
Paul Borghese. its present head. is said to
have ordered the most rigorous economy
in the management, of his properties,
IN order 10 get over the great
losses recently sustained. He has
distributed the works of art which COM
posed the celebrated Borghese gallery,
among bis nine brothers so as 10 enable
him TO lease the apartments given up 20

greet on all sides at this action. IL is feared
that the example may find imitation on the
part Of the other great families, and that
there may thus be general breaking W

ASEVERE STORM THREATENED.

Richmond were alarmed yesterday after
mood about o'clock because of the
threatening Appearances of a number of
dark clouds that seemed 10 hover ImmedI-
ately over the city.
Tie wind was brisk, and by some atmo--
spheric effect all the smoke from tho coal
burners and furnaces of the city seemed TO
have suddenly settled III the clouds and
then lower itself almost to the very ground
m the neighbOrhoOd of Capitol Square.
The odor thereirom was very offensive, and
pedestrians gathered on the streets and
anxiously discussed the causes for the pre-
cipitation of the smoke.
An ugly storm promised to soon be upon
the city, but II was averted III some way,
and only summer shower came in Its
stead.
At6 o'clock another slight tempest Wis
ited the city and heavy rain followed.
When the waters ceased TO fall rainbow
appeared in the heavens which was perfect
as 10 colors and formed an unbroken span
which extended from point to point in the
horizon,

Of Yesterday was shown to Mr.. Decatur

this work done.
The work of changing tho last set Of
pumps at the new house Is nearly COM
pleted. When this is done all the ma
chinery ut the New pump-horsc will be in
fiTst-cass condition. We have had several
leaks TO repair on the canal banks In the
last month cutailng a cost of 36l.75." He
then gave an tented estimate of the ne
cessary expenditures between now and the

priation of $1,000 more for the extension
fund and 50 900 for the pump-house fund.
SEED OF FUsDs.
Mr.. Boiling stated that last year the APP
preparation for extension Of pipes, &c,
was $4,000. and this year it was only
Sl5. 900, aud that it was necessary that at
least IS 900 more be appropriated for this
purpose
He Furthermore said that the Council
had only allowed for the pumps this year
$4,000, while he estimated at the time
that it would require $4,000 for this pur-
pose.
On account OF the condition of finances
all matters of extension of water pipes
were LAID over until the next meeting for
consideration.
