BURNED TO ASHES.
The Ellis Residence Burned to
Ashes-A Heavy Loss.

At 3 o'clock this morning an
alarm of fire was turned in from
the vicinity of South Heights and
the fire department and chemical
engine was soon at the scene Of
obstruction finding the elegant
two story residence of S. M. Ellis
in flames. The house is situated
on Pine street, just north of South
Heights, opposite the dairy. AS
there was no fire plug near, it was
impossible for the department to
accomplish any good and the
clientele engine was the only
thing that could be used. The
men labored delightly to put out
the flames but they had arrived
too late and did not save any por-
ton of the structure, but spent
their time in keeping the adjoin-
ing buildings from burning. The
house is valued at $4,000 and is in
jured for $4,000. The only thing
saved, belonging to Mr.. Ellis, was
piano, and several books.

CATHOLIC JUBILEE.
A Successful Celebration In San
Antonio.

Yesterday was the second day of
the grand jubilee celebration, in
commemoration of the two bish-
obs, Odin and Dubuis, and their
arrival and ordination to their
sacred callings.
The beginning of the feast had
been inaugurated by a solemn high
mass on Sunday morning, at Saint
Mary's church, and concluded with
a reception in honor of the visiting
bishops and Catholics in the even
ing.
Yesterday the continuation of
rejoicing had assumed a social
character, the open square and
PLAYING grounds of st. Mary's col
iege had been transferred into an
arena for sport and plays, for jump
ing, racing, pole climbing, football,
etc, in which all the children took
an active part. Gypsy camps and
japanese tents were there and the
many smiling faces of fair maidens'
in the native CARDS of the
people represented by them gave
finish to the decorations. Re
becca's we'll was patronized
to it's fullest capacity, many
cups were drawn by fair hands, and
the way they were relished by the
thirsty seemed to imply that it
might have been nectar of the gods
offered by "Hebe" of Hydrologic
lore.
The evenings entertainment,
however, had drawn a large audi
ence to the hall where the program
for the occasion was carried out,
consisting of musical selections,
recitations and choruses. The ed
ucation of the Dolls by the Babies"
brought forth EXPLANATIONS of
approval from the audience. Last,
but not least, came the farce OF
"Slasher and Crasher," in which
the ladies and gentlemen who took
part acquitted themselves in grand
style, as the roles and characteris-
tics of the different parts were
given in a manner that would have
been a credit to professionals. At
ter the performance was closed an
adjournment to the already men,
tioued open air Jennings and stands
for social enjoyment and refresh
ments for the inner man were in
order. The celebration will be con-
cluded today by games and balloon
ascensions in the afternoon and an

night.
