We learn a about ISO pounds to the square inch WHH put mi, mid one pipe gave way. The wider was thrown up some sixty feet, but we confess that it did not wem lo drive it much better than our enuinc could, Wo would not undervalue the i i and power of our Water Works, but we would counsel otir city authorities to subject the works to the severest tests, compatible with the contract, before they shall be received.

Most Desperate and Oaring Robbery of the Age. THREE MEN ROB THE TICKET-SELLER OP THE KANSAS CITY EXPOSITION. l-'rom Iho iin.siis Clly Times of (lie Last night, just ai sundown, mid as the gntcs of Exposition Grounds were closed, the most desperate, daring determined deed of robbery every known in the annals of Missouri was done.

There was left in the till AND SEVEXTY- DOLLARS, and this WHS the earn robbers About l.ult' mi hour after While went i the bulk of tlic receipts, three men rode up from llie direction of Twelfth street.

At tho time of their arrival an VXIXTEtiMrrrKXT STUKH and pedestrians was surging out of the gate on their way liome from the show. The Inrgcstof the three men quietly dismounted, handing the reins of his horse to one of bis confederates, and walked up to tho.

ticket-booth, which is small building located just at tho right of the gate as you go in. The I'll, a larpe tin box, stood on the counter in front of 'the arched window through which tickets were wild.
