Perfect harmony subsisted from first

Clifford soon became, moreover, and

he consulted on every occasion. Nor

years after the establishment of the

Destroy the Toledo House of Refuge-An
the Inmates Escape.
TOLEDO, Ohio, March l5-At 10:45 Satur-
day morning fire was discovered in the
House Of Refuge which soon succeeded in
gaining rapid headway Fire alarms were
quickly sent in to the various fire depart
ments, and they responded as hurriedly as
possible As the refuge is situated about a
mile and quarter below the city, and re-
mote from a convenient water supply, its
total destruction was assured. As soon as
the fire department arrived at the scene of
the fire they experienced great difficulty in
obtaining water.
An engine was sent to the river, which. is
near the burning structure, but owing to the
ice no water could be obtained from that
source The efforts of the firemen were of
no avail and soon the roof fell in with q
loud crash The inmates had been removed
in safety to the Schutzen park. About half
an hour previous to the fire being discovered

to have fired the building. The refuge is a
total loss.
The loss on the building is estimated at

at Schutzen's park, large summer re,
