West Huron Election.
Dungannon, Oct. 26—This afternoon
a convention of the Liberals of West
Huron was held here. The following
executive wa elected: D. McGillicud-
dy, Goderich, president: Jos. Griffin;
Kingsbridge, first vice-president; R.
Holmes, Clinton, second vice-president,
Jas. Young, Auburn, third vice-presi-
dont; Wm, Coats, Clinton, secretary -
treasurer: Resolutions were passed en-
dorsin•g the leadership of Mr. Laurier
and the Ottawa Liberal platform; also
one of condolence to the family of • the
late president, A. H. Manning, who
had died since last convention. The
unanimous nomination was tendered
to M. C. Cameron and accepted by him
in a speech that roused the convention
to the highest pitch of enthusiasm,
When it was decided by the Cnunty
Council of Huron that a House of Re-
fuge should be erected for the benefit
and use of the county wards and others
whose reduced circumstances prevent
ed their supporting themselves, the
committee chose for the farm and site
of the House forty-eight acres on the
London Road in the township of Tuck-
crsmith, about one and a quarter miles
from the centre of Clinton and on a
good rise of ground. From a number
of sets of piers prepared by different
architects, the committee selected those
designed by Messrs Fowler & Fowler,
of Toronto and Woodstock, and from
these designs without material altera•
tion the large building has since been
constructed, and under the watchfa.l
eye of the Senior member of the firm.
J. Ades Fowler, at last stands just
about ready for it3 occupants.
The house consists of basement,
ground, and first Stories only, as the
inspeetor of charities, etc., does not
favor too high buildings when they are
for occupation of such a class of inmates
as those deers pit, infirm and aged per
sons who will form the greater number
of those who will live there.
The total length of the building is
one hundred and twenty feet by a.
depth of forty-three feet on the main
part with an addition Or wing in rear
thirty `feet wide and thirty -sir feet
long.
The house fronts towards the west
running paralled to the London road,
the northern portion being devoted to
men's and the southern portion to the
women's 'wards, whilst the centre with
extension forms the administration por
tfon.
'1'he basement contains on the front
at either end large, cheerful winter
is orkrooms, and the other space is de-
voted to stores of various descriptions,
except the small portion taken off and
appropriatc,d to the punishment cells in
which the manager has power. to con-
fine for limited periods such as are fra-
grantly violating• the rules and regula-
tions of the building; wash rooms and
conveniences from the north and south
ends respectively with ways to the out-
side yards. The bathrooms are also in
the basement, each side of the ceutre
stairway. "The landing and boiler
room, ete., with stores occupy all the
rest of this flat.
The ground floor contains the main
entrauce holland stairway and tom
mittee room, manager's parlor and din-
ing room and doctor's dispensary and
stores in the administrative portion
and at either end in front large day
sitting rooms for the -inmates, dining
rooms• and rooms with large folding
doors that if occasion requires can be
thrown open and form very large
apartments for services, meetings, etc.
At either end are rooms for very infirm
inmates and conveniences. In addition
to the ceutral stairway there is at each
end another stair from basement to
first floor. The kitchen and accom-
panying pantries. eta, occupy the ex-
tension.
The first floor is entirely taken up
with dormitories in the main building,
sixteen large rooms being thus occu-
pied, and a bath and convenience room
at either end.
The wing is completely isolated and
contains three rooms or wards and is
designed for hospital accommudation
for men and women and a lying-in
ward; this is fitted with its own plumb-
ing accommodation so that if occasion
requires it no communication need be
held with the house proper.
° The whole building is warmed by
steam at low pressure, about one pound
being enough to fill the raditors, but it
will be run on about five pounds of
steam. The boiler is of steel and tested
to one hundred and sixty pounds Pres•
sure and adopted for supplying steam
for any reasonable future exteutton.
The water supply of the institution is
effected by means of the windmill
pumping the water from the well up
into a steel tank in the roof or attic,
whence it is distributed through gal-
vanized iron piping to ail the points
where it is needed. Hot water for
bathing is supplied from a copper boil-
er attached to the kitchen ranges,
The buildings have been erected
closely to the plans and specifications
under the architects, Messrs. Fowler &
Fowler, by contractor Sam. S. Cooper,

Burned to Death
Never in the history of the township
of• Usborne has there been a more la-
meptable and sad burning fatality than
happened on the South Boundary,
Tuesday morning last, when the home
of Mr. F. J. Davis was totally consum-
ed by fire, together with the entire con-
tents and to add still more to the urlfor-
tunate calamity his beloved wife per
ished in the flames. It seems they re-
tired Monday night at the usual hour,
never dreaming of the sad catastrophe
that they were doomed to undergo be
fore morning, when about three o'clock
Mrs. Davis was aroused from her slum-
bers by a choking sensation caused by
smoke. She imraediatoly called her
husband who le urridly arose and looked
down stairs ohly to find all in a blaze.
He at once called to his wife and bade
her make haste or she would be burned.
They both got to the head of the stairs,
when she remarked she was going to
get some of her clothes. He told her
not to, that she was in danger of her
life, and thinking she would follow
started down, but was so overcome by
the smoke that he could not speak till
he reached the outside. Seeing that
his wife did not follow, he tried to re
enter but he found it impossisblo. He
then proceeded to the East end of tete
house to a pantry windew and endeav•
o•red to enter but in vain, his attempts
were futilti, and it was now that he
realized his last sad hope of rescuing
the one so near and dear to him. The
house was a frame structure and was
soon leveled to the ground. - Mr. Davis
says he can in no way account for the
origin of the tire, but says on reach.
ing the back door the lock dropped
orf. Thus giving ground for the belief
that some fiendish person was at the
bottom of the affair, and set fire to the
building,
'rhe'remains wore gathered together
and were buried in the Kirkton ceme-
tery ori Wednesday
Mrs. Davis was a daughter of Mr.
Robert Creery of the same township.
The blow is indeed a sad one to Mr.
Davis Who has the sympathy of the
community in his sad and irretrievable
loss.
