CAUSED BY A BURSTtD WATER MAIN.

A twelve.in ch water main bursted yester-
day afternoon near the corner Of Main street
and Willow avenue, ana the result was the
serious flooding of the streets and filling Of
some Of the cellars of adjacent business
houses The most serious damage was done
to the building on the northeast corner, occu-
pied by DR. Clark as dental Office and Pete
Morris dining hall. The break was immedi-
atey in frunt of this building, and the water
not being able TO force its way up through
the frozen earth and the granite pavement
followed the service pipe leading into the
building The sidewalk was torn up,
the cellar flooded and the foundations Of the
building undermined The break occurred
about . O'Clock and it was nearly before the
water could be turned off on account Of the
difficulty the waterworks employees expert
enced digging away the snow and ice to
find the stop boxes. Main street was covered
with a thick sheet of ice that reached from
Willow avenue almost to the Rock Island
depot. Cross streets were also flooded, occa
sioning considerable annoyance to people on
the streets The elevators in the Brown
building and the Merriam block were
stopped. and good deal of Inconvenience
was experience by people whose service pipes
were fed by the Main street main
No extra pressure was on the mains at the
time and there is no explanation for the sud
den break. Workmen were engaged all night
In repairing the broken pipe.
