DAMAGE TO SCHOOLS AND’ CHURCHES. Several Catholic churches have been seriously injured. Tho cathedral chapel will not bo used for several Sundays. A temporary altar will bo erected on the cathedral grounds, where tho congregation will attend mass. Repairs will be made as soon as the condition of nffairs will admit. Tho Catholic school* have all been in jured. The Academy of Oar Lady of Mer cy on Meeting street, the Central school on George street, St. Mary’s school on Society street, have sustained sucu damages os will not permit of stadias being resumed os an nounced. The convent of the Sisters of Ms rcy, on Queen street, was also damaged. Tho Sisters cud chiliren have all been camping out. Tae St. Francis Xavier infirmary, on Cal houn street, was very badly damaged, and thero were several providential escipes. Tin* episcopal re3idenoe on Broad utrW. ia ri.mD.iv .1 uninhabitable. Tho clergv who were in the building during the shock had miraculous escapes, and have since beeu guests of the Brothers of tho Sacred Heart, and have camped with a largo portion of the congregation on the cathe dral grounds. The Catholic Benevolent Asylum also suffered, but in no instance did loss of life result. The churches and schools, as well ns tho episcopal residence, need immediate re pairs to render them habitable and to allow of th&conduct of religious services nnd ed ucational exercises. This misfortune is moro keen, for tho reason that on account of tho general loss throughout the com munity it will bo almost impossible at this time to obtain funds hero for tho repairs so imperatively required. Any farther information on the subject will be given by Rev. H. L. Duffy, vicar- g<-acral of Charleston. Father Duffy was himself slightly injured at the time of the ■bock, but is able to attend to his duties. The Holier hospitfd is wrecked, nnd will probably be condemned, and tho building of the training school for nurses is seriously damaged. The hospital patients wore re moved to Agricultural Hall. The Injury to the county jail is well nigh irreparable. Thirty-six paisoners escaped, alx of whom have returned. LAST NIGHrS SHOCK SETS THE ENTIRE SOUTH TBKMB- LING AGAIN.
