 Three breaks were discovered in the water mains to-day, one on Grove street, near St Margaret's seminary, and two on South Main street, one op- posite Graber's bird store and another in the brook near Jefferson street. The superintendent is at work on them. MT O'Brien states that within the past few days three hydrants have been broken, one at Meadow and Benedict streets, another at Round Hill and Ward streets and one at North Willow and Ridgewood streets. 1t is suppos- ed that they were smashed by heavy teams, but there seems to be some question about this. Some claim the police ought to know something about 1t. but the officers say they are too busy now trying to do nothing so as nos to be up before the board of public safety.
 William Kelly died last night at his home, 233 River street, after an illness of about a year and half. MT Kelly was born in Ireland and came to this country about fifty years ago. For years he was an employe of the thim- ble department of Brown & Bros, where he was considered 8 very slxillful work man. He was a member of the Senior Temperance society for the past twen- ty-seven years and took an active part in the formation of the Sarsfeld Rifles, military company that existed here for time with the late D. J. Casey as captain. MT Kelly had a wide ac- quaintance and was regarded as mtel of great integrity. Besides his widow he leaves three sisters in St Louis. The funeral will take place to St Fran els Xavier's church tomorrow morning at 6:3O o'clock. The remains will be taken to Holyoke. Mass, for burial, in charge of Undertaken Mulville.
 The seriousness of the situation that exists on Baldwin street and other places south of ScoyflTs bridge, on ac- count of the break in the water main north of the Mad river bridge, was made plain to the firemen last night during the two fires below the bridge, when they found 1t impossible to send stream of water higher than the caves of small barns. If the fires had occurred in high buildings the depart ment would have been handicapped for want of sufficient pressure. Unless the work of repairing the main is pushed it will be couple of weeks before 1t is repaired and in the meantime all the property in that district will be at the mercy of the fire fiend. Many be- lieve that the job Is of enough inpor- tance to warrant the city in putting on Right gang so that the connection may be made as soon as possible. Things were bad enough last night but they would have been far worse if the fires had occurred in the daytime, when faucets and closets are in use. It is up to somebody to push that work.
