WATER WoRKs.-A valve burst at the
corner of Rock River and Exchange streets
yesterday and threw four inch stream Of
water with such force that the works had
to be stopped in order u repair damages
The break was caused by a defective valve
or the frost. At o'clock this morning
the water works resumed operations, and
the water was turned on. Men were em-
ployed all night in repairing the break.
The managers are now taking every pre-
caution to prevent any further accidents,
by heating the water with steam at the
water works, and opening all the hyiraut-
and getting them in working order, and
they think there will be no further trouble.
Everything Is working in good order at the
lower end Of the city. and as far as heard
from in this and the upper part
