Mr. Taylor, iu the course of his

do all iu his peer to help the Hardy
adtniiiisteration, believing it to be the
most prosperous and most economical

been to the Goverument, and he con-
gratulated them on making such a
wise choice. The abolution of the
Government House, expenditure of
pubile mneeys, Agricultural College,
developement of our mineral resources
and the Educational Department were
the topics taken by Mr, Ross..

The li ouse of Ref=-:ge Overcrowded
To the visitor who has been through
the House of Refuge,from the base-
ment where a Circular Town idiot in
dulges in yells that are scarcely human
but make the whole buildii,g ring, to
the more airy upper rooms where etet en
insane females mope away the hours,
the most pertinent question is:—" Did
the taxpayers of Hurou intend: the in
stitution as an annex to the provincial
asylums or the Home for Idiots at
Oriiiia.
When formally opened two years
since many thought the building far
exceeded the needs of the county,but in-
stead it is far too small and beds have
had to be placed in the corridors. With',
a capacity for seventy inmates there
are How seventy-eight and the number
is much more likely to increase than
decrea e, so that a larger building is
neeessa ry. It is understood that Coun-
ty Coaueillors have the matter under
consideration and are having plans
prepared. In the meantime the con
gested state of affairs can be relieved
by a Breeding out and a shipment to
i at ,
site Lunatic tree Asylum Toronto or else-
where and to the House for Idiots at
Orilfia.
White the C. Gouuciliors are deliber-
ating as to building, what have they to:
say about an extention to the farm as
well. _Itis contended by those who are,
in a position to know that one hundred
acres could be worked more econom-
ically than the 47e now beengieg to;,
the House. They say that on the larg-
er farm no more hired help wouldbe
required, but that additional stock
eou:d be kept, and all good farmers
know that stock is necessary about a
farm to keep its acres fertile.
The House of Refuge is being abus
ed, even the County goaler unloading,
bis troublesome boarders upon it. The
howling idiot alluded to is a sample.
For several months that unfortunate
creature was confined to the Castle,
until tiring of him the keeper by some
means or other, and an enquiry into
his methods might not be out of -place,
had him transferred to Mr. French's , t
care, He should not have been sent to
the House of Refuge. Old men and l
women, victims, some of .them, of ad- , a
verse circumstances and others of their
own misdeeds, bat all whom hevefared
badly and sadly in life's battle and;
have in this Huron Shelter, sought ref-
uge from its storms, should not be com-
pelled to herd with the overflow of
gaols or asylums.
The House of Refuge is well manag-
ed. From basement to attic every-
thing is kept neat and clean and in
order. There is all over the building
evidence of the presence of .a watchful,
careful matron, an efficient assistant
and a shrewd manager. The salary
of Mr. and Mrs. French receive seems
small for the work done, but this is
another matter, we ur lerstand, the
County Council propose considering at
its next session.—Clinton News Record.
THE BLOODY RIDGE
RE -CAPTURED BY THE GORDON

Without Wavering They Rushed Into the

Fled Precipitately Before Them.
London, Nov. 15.—The newspapers
of the city have just received graphic
details by ntaii of the recapture of
Dargai ridge by the Gordon Highlanders
on Oetober 20, during which that regi-
ment exhibited remarkable dash and
courage. After the fighting on Monday,
October 18,between the column of British
troops commanded by General Sir Y'eat-
man Biggs and the tribesmen froth
Chagru, on the Sanaana range, the Brit-
ish retired upon Shinware, and the
enemy, greatly reinforced, reoccupied
Dargai ridge. On Wednesday following
General Biggs sent the second division
to dislodge the tribesmen. The position
was a very strongone, the enemy occu-
pying the summit of a precipitous hill
that could be reached only . by a single
path. along which the attacking force,
at first consisting of a Goorkha regiment,
the Derbyshire regiment, and the Dorset -
shire,
shire regiment. was obliged to climb in
Indian file, while three batteries of artil-
lery shelled the entrenchments of the
hillmem
I)argai ridge, from the direction of the
assault, presents a frontal of about a
mile. the left end of which is rock for
200 yards. In splta.of the difficulty of

cliffs, When the Goorkhas reached this

cliffs burst out hate flame, for a thous-

their rifles until that mortician Though
decimated, the little mountaineers strug-
Bled across the dip and reached the
shelter of a few rocks. Then led by their
officers they made a dash for the cover
of the cliff side. But tbo others could
not follow, and the enemy, with true
milftar_v instiuot, reserved their fire.
Though the remainder of the Goorkhas,

ape
eared d on the fringe of the dip, yet to
step into the fire zone meant death. But
the Darsetshires again tried te advance.
to the support of the Goorkhas. Thirteen
men struggled into the open space, only
to dropbefore the ether side could be
reached. Already the little dip was
strewn with corpses, and so bloodthirsty
were the enemy that a wounded man
had but to move a limb to become the
target of a dozen marksmen. Reluctant-
ly, the senior officer heliographed down
to the main body of the British troops
that the passage could not be made At
this juncture General Kempster ordered
the Gordon Highlanders to the front.
It was then four o'clock in the after-
noon, and more than 100 men had
already fallen. The enemy were shout-
ing their defiance and waving their
standards, confident of their position,
andcertain of success. But the Gordon
Highlanders had yet to be reckoned with.
Rapidly forming his brave men, and
after his now historia speech, "Bien of
the Gordon Highlanders. our general
says that postion must he taken at all
costs. The Gordon Highlanders will take
it," Colonel Mathias, 'c
at la- the commander,
dashed out at the head of the regiment
In a moment they were across, carrying
everyone with them in their onrush,
storming the ridge with a resolution
that was resistless, and beating down all
opposition.
When Colonel Mathias gave the order
to advance the pipers of the HHigblanders
followed, strikipg up " Cook of the
'_forth," and with a shout the leading
company- of kilted men was into the Are
zone. A stream of lead .swept over,
through and past them, bullets churning
up the dust which half hid the rushing
men. Piper Findlater was among the
first to show the way across that deadly
strip of ground, and when, after Wavers -
ng but a few yards. be was laid low by
a shot tbrough both legs. he managed to
prop himself up .against a boulder, and
continued with unabated energy the
stirring music of his pipes. Men kept
pouring into the passage. and the leaders
struggled across to the cover. Then there
was a lull, and, as one paper remarks,
'one had time to see how cruel hadbeen
he slaughter." Then, with a second
cheer, the mixed troops streamed across,
and the enemy, seeing the barrier swept
way, left their loopholes and rock bar-
ricades and fled precipitately down the
reverse slopes, without waiting for the
line of cold steel which was then nearly
on the crest of the ridge.
Piper Findlater has been recommendedfor the Victoria Cross. Captain Robin-
son, of the Goorkhas, acted with the
greatest gallantry. After leading his men
across the fire zone to the cover and find-
ing the force there insufficient, he re-
turned aver the death trap alone, and
was mortally wounded while leading the
second rush of Goorkhas to support the
first body of that regiment.

instead that Great Britain, the United
States and Japan make joint representa-
tions to Russia on the subject of Corea.

day.
Ou the resumption of the inquest this
morning Mr. Lewis, of Goderich, 'ap-
peared for the Crown and Mr. Wm.
Proudfoot for the accused.
The first witness called was Albert
Woods. He related the story of being
to Varna with Harvey Elliott and L.
Dumart. They had -several drinks
. bile there. Started for home about
ix. Got to Hayfield about eight. Short
v before, Lin Duinart and I went to a
store to get a lunch. When we got oe
Eit°art s platform Harvey had hold of
Fred. I tried to part them. Heard
Harvey tell Fred to go into the house.
Ile refused, I wanted Harvey to keep
tis overcoat on, but he pulled it off, aud
vied to get at Fred. I grabbed him
ad tried to hold bine 'back. Mrs, El -
1 tat and Lilly were on the platform.
Do not know where Dumart was. Saw
a revolver in Fred's hand, pointing to
rds tears ey,. I told him not to shoot.
Harvey- was struggling to get away
from me, With his head bent down,
he dragged me close to Fred.. When
Fred fired Harvey was swinging his
hands about. They may have .struck
Fred's hands, causing the revolver to
go off. Do not believe Fred had aux
intention of shooting bis brother. I
had hold of Harvey around the middle
of the body from behind. He said noth-
ing but groaned, I dragged him to
wardarhe pump. He was then taken
mto the house.
The inquest teas adjourned at 1.80
till after the funeral, which took place
at 3 o'clock, and was largely attended.
Service was conducted by the Rev. i�1r.
Smith.
When tele inquest was resumed Lilly
Elliott, sister of deceased, statedthat
after closing the bar Fred came to the
kitchen and gave her the money and
said that he was going for a walk. She
went with him to the hall door and
locked it. After returning to the kiteb-
en, heard loud talking. Mother had
gone out to seeif the bar was locked.
I was sometime uniockicg the door.

house,. I got hold of him and tried to
help them, I called for help, He was
determined to get at Fred. I am. sure
Fred was not again in the house before
the shooting. Did not see or bear the
,hooting. Wes not on the platform.
Harvey was quarrelsome when intoxi-
cated.

between the pump and flag pole. Heard
Harvey swear. Saw Fred standing on
the platform with revolver in his hand
by bis side eeleard him say take "Har-
vey away, or I will shoot hitn." They
were about twelve feet apart. Mrs.
Elliott was trying to get Fred round
the side of the house. Haryey pulled
off his overcoat, and, with has bead
down. made a dash forwards. Fred
went round bis mother. When Fred
stepped back he raised his forarm and

Godericb, Ont., Nov. 12,—The pre-
liminary trial of Frederick Elliott, of
Hayfield, for the shooting of his broth-
er Harvey on Monday night last,
opened this afternoon before Police
Magistrate Seager. The prisoner is a
tall young fellow of prepossessing ap.
pearance, light complectioned, bine
eyed; and fair-haired, apparently
about twenty one years of age. He
does not look like .a man who would
premediate a -crime such as that with
which he is charged, and among bis
neighbors bad the reputation of being
a respectable Young fellow. He is
defended by Mr. Proudtfoot, and .the
Crown interests are being attended to
by Ira Lewis. Three witnesses—A1-
pert Woods Frank Reagan, and Thos.
Clark—were examined, but nothing
new was elicited. and, the prisoner was
remanded until Tuesday next at three
D. m., when the magistrate will render
his decision.
MANSLAUGHTER.
Goderich, Ont., Nov. 16 --The Bay-
field shooting case was called for argu-
ment at 5 o'clock to day before Police
Magistrate Seager. Crown Attorney
Lewis asked for the prisoner, Frederick
Elliott, to be committed on a charge of
murder. M. Proudfoot argued to the
contrary.
The Police Magistrate gave a leng-
thy review of the evidence and of the
law, and held that the whole facts of
the case being before him he felt it his
duty to decide that there was no evi-
dence of any kind to substantiate a
charge of murder, and he accordingly
committed the prisoner to the next
court of competent jurisdiction on a
charge of manslaughter. Bail was ad-
mitted, and fixed at $1,500, which will
no doubt he produced.

Lines on the death of Hr. Bdward Jones,
To -day when I heard the sad tidings
Of the death of a dear worthy friend,
I thought of a promise I gave him
Of some verses 1 promised to send.
A few lines that may serve as a token,
A few words of esteem so commbined.
That whenever his name will be spoken,
These words will be first on our mind.
That he died with his trust in the Saviour,
His faith it was firm and sure,
A.od is now in the mansions of glory
That's only preparee for the pure.
His faith did not rest in professioz.,
In wards, or in actions precise,
It was plain that he bad the ptofession
Of that
pearl that is above e rice
His life it may serve as a sample,
For all those who wish to heed,
And his precept, advice and ex tmple,
Was that of a christain indeed.
Lines on the death of Miss Jennie Ford,

In searching the Scriptures we find on re
cord
What we give to the poor it is but to the
Lord,
And a life gave for him shall again be re
stored
Was a most precious promise to dear
Jennie Ford.
Who went on a mission the heathen to save
From a death that is lower than even the
grave;
When the Lord called her Home in His
wisdom and love
And she is with him now in the mansions
above.
The Master He calls that her task it is
done,
The battle is fought and the victory won;
To life everlasting she has been restored
And a mansion in glory assigned Jeanie
Ford.
She devoted her time to the cause of the
Lord
For her infinite gain for she won the re-
ward;
All the bright shining gems that Heaven
aliord,
They will shine in the crown of our own
Jennie Ford.
The Saviour has promised all we ask in
His name,
But here is a promise that Jennie can claim,
Every life gave for Him shall again be
restored
Was a most precious promise for you Jen-
nie Ford.

A HAMILTON SUICIDE.

{
Hamilton, Nov. 15.—Gh;:rles. Pedley,
eighteen years of age. committed suicide
by hanging himself in the shed at the
rear of his father's residence, Hilton
street, about 2.30 this afternoon. The
yeathful suicide, it is said, was in the
habit of asociating with char:eeters who
did not meet with the approval of his
father, and in consequence the latter
frequently remonstrated with bion. It is
understood that ibe father and sou had
, a dispute at the dinner table ro-day, and
about half an hour afterward the boy's
dead body was found dangling from the
end of a rope in the shed. On Thursday,
October 7, the suicide was arrested at
the instance f hi f hL
of assault, but Police Magistrate Jelfs 1
allowed him to go on the understanding
that he was to mend his ways. An in-
quest will be held by Coroner Philip.
The detectives here are working. with

old goat, a scarf much the worse for
wear, and r. piece of carpet, all of which
are saturated with blood. The floor of
the car was also besmeared with blood,
and an effort bad apparently been made
to conceal this by .sprinkling sand over
the trap of it. The railway authorities
are enable to account for the state of
the ear, and so fah it has baffled the
detectives. Is may be that the owner of
the coat and scarf was murdered.
