EVENING BIKE MEET TO Be HELD

Fitchburg, July 2S.-By the bursting
of 16-inch water main from the West
minister reservoirs at Waites Corners,
at an early hour this morning, the city
was in a bad way had serious fire
broken out, requiring the high water
service. A stream, under SO pounds
pressure, continued for over an hour,
until the proper authorities could be
notified, which was some time on ac-
count Of large number of telephones
that were burned out by the storm of
the afternoon. The break put an end
entirely to the high service, and cit
liens were mystified to get no water
for breakfast. Men have been at work
all day on the break, and this evening
the new pipe was connected. Beyond
the washing into several cellars and
yards, and opening up connections with
the Nashua river, the actual damage
was small.
The funeral services over the remains
of Major N. F. Bond were from his
late residence on Blossom street, this
afternoon, and were conducted by the
Rev. Frank Rector Of the Baptist
Church. Many friends were present to
pay the last respects to the departed
veteran, and the display of floral en-
blems spoke volumes for the love and
esteem in which he was held. The G.
A. R., w. r. C. and the 8. of v. were
represented, as was also the military
order of the Loyal Legion. Major L.
