Early last evening water was discov-
cred running in the house occupied by
Rev. j. A. Larry, on Congdon steet. The
latter was out OF the city with his fam
lily, and the owner of the house was noti-

the flow OF water showed that a large
water tank In the top of the house had
burst. Mr.. Talbot, the owner of the
building, shut the water off and then
looked over the furniture, which was
found to be badly damaged by water, the
carpets and chairs being badly soaked,
as well as some OF the pictures. The ex-
tent OF the danger could not be ascer-
tanned, owing TO the absence, as before
stated, of Mr.. Larry from the city.
