Now, I do not say that Cardinal tribbons was not honest in that advice, but if he did mean what he said he was not a good Catholic, and if he did not mean it he was not honest. The aim of the Catholic is to make Komanists; our aim i9 to make character. Koine controls all her people, and therefore a Koraanist cannot be a trood citizen of this Keuublic. If the Pone had his way,- our Kepublic, with its pubfio schools and tne open mole, would soon go.

TIIiriTT HOUSES DESTROYED

A. Blaze at Johnstown that Threatened to Burn the Remnant of the To'm The Flames Subdued After Doing About $35,000 Damages Dynamite Used with Good Effect on the Wreckage at the Bridge. Special to the Indianapolis JoaroaL Johnstown, Pa., June 34. It was only due to the direction of the wind that tho remains of Johnstown were not entirely wiped out by lire this afternoon. Tho blazo began atl o'clock with the First ward school-house, which stood on tho bank of Stony creek. That building stood on the upper sido of the dismal wasto which tho torrent of water swept clear across the town. Close by the school-building, all jumbled up together, were about thirty buildiugs, some of them in a good state of preservation, and inhabited. Next to these houses was a street, the only one not yet cleared of debris, and on the opposite sido was a wide stretch of ground tightly packed with frame buildings in all manner of decepit attitudes. Still further above were some of the best preserved buildings in tho city. Had tho wind carried the llamo in the opposite direction fire would havo destroyed wbat the Hood had left. As it was, the fire caused aVeri table panic in tho immediato neighborhood, as it enveloped one house after another iu rapid succes sion. One of tho abandoned houses had been a hardware store, and the explosion of a keg of powder in it sent the burning roof flying in fragments, thus increasing the danger. Men were put to work smothering the bonfires that stretched across the open space, with earth, and in this manner cut off tho lire's line of com munication to the threatened buildings, whose occupants were already moving the remnants of their furniture. This banking tne bon tires with earth and the veering of tho wiud so that the burning embers were carried into Stony creek ended the danger in this direction. On the other side tho lire met no opposition until it had reached tho ruin-packed street. The militia and a gang of laborers worked hard at cleaning the street. and then tore down a number of houses ou the opposito side. By this time the streams of water from the lireengines had their effect, and the lire was under control, after burning over two hours, and twenty or thirty houses wero in ashes. Tho whole nonulation of the vallev turned out to watch the contlagration, and so general bocame tho belief that everything re maining would go up in smoke that in every direction people were loading their rnecis on wagonspreparatory to nigm to the mountains. The monoy loss will bo about $35,000. The fire was caused by threo small boys setting lire to a pile of rubbish. Clearing Up the Wreckage. Johnstown, Juno 24.Notwithstanding that tho force of workmen employed in tho 'ruins here was reduced nearly one-half, to day, a remarkable showing was made in tho way of clearing up the wreckage. Ono heavy blast followed another in tho debris above tho railroad bridge, and Manager Phillips, who has charge of the work, says he will have the placo cleared up by Thursday. Tho various workingmen's camps wero thoroughly renovated to-day, in accordance with the request of Surgeon-general Reed, and all the superlluous straw and garbage about the camps were burned. Tho workmen who will remain here were moved into tho choicest quarters, and earlv to-morrow morning the tents now occupied by the dist r mi i i , , cnargeu men wm oo laKen uown ny a squad of soldiers. 1 his afternoon, between 2 and 3 o clock. a charge ot dynamite exploded near the second arch from the east end of the bridge. From the great body of wreckage tossed in the air pieces of human bodies flew in all directions, and the remnants afterward gathered together indicated at least six corpses had been blown up. They wero doubtless all close together near where tho dynamite was dis charged. Alucn of the drift which has been dislodged from the stone bridge has lodged in various places, extending as far below as "Cooperdalo. In some places tho channel of the Conemaugh river is nar rowed to a few feet and turned from its channel. A force of men was put to work this morning at removing these obstructions, which nave rendered useless a great part of the work at the budge. It is thought the stream below the bie drift will hereafter be kept open so that debris once started down tne river will pass down without interruption. Clara J5arton. of the Ked Cross Societv. this evening asked General Hastings for transportation for twenty-live of the more destitute people, largely females, to Asbury Park, N.
