BURNED TO DEATH.
Mary Talon Used Turpentine
Near Kitchen Fire.

Mary Talon, sixty years old, employed
as a housekeeper by Mrs. Baron, of No.
259 Wilton street, was fatally burned
about the head and body about four
o'clock yesterday afternoon, while clean
ing some clothes with turpentlne. She
was sent to the City Hospital in an un-
conscious condition and died three hours
later.
Her death was due to her own careless
ness. In using the turpentine, she went
too near the fire in the kitchen. Inc
turpentine went up in flame, burning
her about the head and setting fire to her
clothing Her screams attracted MIS-
Baron, who succeeded in smothering the
burning clothing. The unfortunate wom-
an suffered intensely from the tearrul
burns. The flesh came off her face in
several places. 1t is thought that she
inhaled the fire and this alone-w stiffi-
cient to cause her death. The family
in Which she was employed will provide
for her funeral.

two weeks past, but he refused to give

allow him to return in safety. His throat
is in bad shape and heavy cold con-
tracted the night of the Armory ball has
settled on his chest. Sergeant Bernard
Wade is in command of the precinct.
Roundsman Ramsey, who was attached to

The new HOSPITAL.
Warden Osborne Says 1t
Should Come Before a
High School.

Warden George Osborne of the City Hos
pital is delighted with the bright pros
poets of new hospital, to replace the
dilapidated structure used as the male
ward. This building runs from north to
south and situated as it is on the brow
of a high bluff overlooking the city, is
subject to the fierce east winds.
aThe News has given exclusive news
of the condition of this building and the
urgent need of more modern structure.
During the last snow storm and the sub
sequent rain storm, the snow and water
found it's way in through the innumerable
cracks and crevices that the warden has
attempted to plub UP dozens of times. 1t
was found difficult to heat the building
unless full pressure of steam was put on,
thus consuming an unusual amount OF
fuel
The patients, and there is an average of
fifty there suffer considerably from the
deplorabe state of the building. AS the
Warden has announced, the cots are
moved to the centre of the floor to escape
the wind and water. The plaster on the
ceiling and walls threatens to fall during
every storm. It is badly dlscolored and
huge gaping cracks extend from one end
of the building to the other.
:" The News said Warden Osborne
recently has done much to bring abou.
what 1 have long advocated Every per-
son I meet about the city tells me that the
need of new hospital is a matter that
should be attended to as soon as prac-
ticable. These people seem TO be of tbs
opinion that the hospital should certainly
come before the new High School | hop:
the Police Board will push the matter
and keep it before the Board of Finance
The Commissioners are aware of the con-
dition of the hospital. They have repeat
edly spoken of It. The lack Of funds, they
say, will not warrant the expenditure fol
a new hospital this year. but hope the
matter will receive the proper attenios
early next year z
