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, who sublet the masonry, flooring, etc., to '1\—Walker, brickwork, est•, to Messrs Heywood & Prior, plastering to Mr. Croll, tinwork to lilarland Bros., all of town,plumbiog to Messrs.

J, Davis, aged 29 y*ettrq. 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. A small insurance was on .the house and nelltents. 8eaforthr Mr. Richard Robinson has purehaSed the old MuNab farm, east of Jaeadhury,in McK.itlopfor $3,000.
