BREAK IN WATER MAIN
Leaves Nearly 5Seventy-sIv Houses
 Minus City Water Supply.

Between fifty and seyenty-fiv houses are without city water as the result of break in the 14-inch main between the pumping station and the city at the corner of Jackson and Ca- rey streets, Friday morning. For about an heEr large part of the hill residential section was without water.
 The break was first noticed at about il o'clock. It was near a sewer man hole, and leaked into that. The sewer pipes were not large enough to take care of the surplus water, and 1t flow ed back into the houses along Jackson street, and many cellars were flooded, in several instances the water reach ing a depth of three feet and putting out furnace fires.
 Superintendent Moulton was noti- hed and he went in search of the break. The length of pipe in which the leak was located was cut off by closing the valves. so that all houses on the city side of the valve at the corner of Jackson and Carey streets are supplied with the city water, draw ing from the reservoir.
 At o'clock, the location of the break was probably discovered with the aid of a new invention. which re- celVed US nrSt tr1a1 Iii tntS clly Ffl- day, and the men began digging fol the pipe. It will probably take twenty hours of digging to reach tine pipe, as the frost. is about four feet deep. The entire city is now being sup piled by water from the reservoir, witt a capacity of about 5,8o0.000 gallons The city uses about 100000 gallons 2 day, so there will probably be no wa fer famine UnleSs a large fire shOlll( break out or the break is not repairei within a week.
