Making Municipalities Not Liable For Non-Repair. : At the present time, the city has several demands upon it for damages in view af injuries to persons by tuus an alleged defectivé walks. The city solicitor will report upon these de mands, to the board of works. The Ontario Municipal Association, for the past two years, has been endeavoring to get the law changed regarding the liability of 'municipalities for acci- dents on its highways. The city council of Kingston has been asked to sign a petition to the legislature requesting that the law he amended, making municipalities not liable for non-feasance, but only liable for mis- fonsance. The meaning of this is that municipalities should not be held liable for walks or roads not being kept in repair, but only liable for accidonts caused by placing obstrue- tions on walks or roads, such as poles, stone piles, unguarded cxcava- tions, eto, It is held to be unfair to hold municipalities. responsible for every loose board that might occur in a walk, or for an icy pavement that might cause persons to fall. This is the same law that is in operation in England and in Nova Scotia, and it is eld that Ontario should also adopt it. HAD A BAD MEMORY.

Montreal, Feb. 18.--A very sad death occurred at the Royal Victorig hospital on Sunday evening, when Agnes Me- Lean, wile of Rev. John Turnbull, died of the result if terrible burns she re- ceived on Saturday. The deceased lady who was seventyfour years old, was engaged on Saturday afternoom cook- ing on the gas stove at the family re- sidence, 131 Park avenue. She was at the time wearing a light kimona with wide flowing sleeves. Evidently one of the sleeves waved into the ges and aught fire, as Mrs. Turnbuid's' son George, who was upstairs, heard his mother screaming and ran down, to find her enveloped in flames, her light clothing being all ablaze. He hud pre- sence of mind and secured a quilt, which he wrapped around his mother, and soon extinguished the fire, Not, however, hefore the whole of the upper part of her body had been severely burned, while her face was also bad- ly seorched. Mr: Turnbull also re- ceived some very nasty burns on his arms while rescuing his mother, W. J.
