BRUSTING PIPES A pccular result of the fire or Sunday morning was the bursting of water pipes in St. Paul's Rectory and the Wesley -Willis Manse, caused it is supposed, by the pressure of water used. The leakage was dis- covered on the return of the rector and his fancily from church and as- sistance called. Rev. Mr. Foster and Mrs. Foster were away at the time and the next door neighbors happen- ed to hear the water trickling in the house and 'called a church official who got a plumber and went in to in- vestigate. In both cases the water had flood- ed the floor above and leaked down through, causing considerable dam- age and inconvenience. It was an um - fortunate day for ministers. THE FLOWED.
