A water pipe on the second floor of Mack & Co.'s store burst Monday and flooded the store for a short time. The water came through the floor just above the balcony where Mr. Mack has his desk and soaked everything in the balcony and under it, where an elaborate display of white waisting material was being made.

The water also dampened a good deal of the stock in the ribbon and fancy work departments.

The leakage was soon stopped and the employees of the store went to work with a will with mops and brooms to remedy the damage as fas as they were able. Mr. Mack says that the damage will not amount to many dollars.
