Wilkesbarre Sinking. WiiJCEsnARRn, Pa., Juno 16.—Tlic a most disastrous cnvc-in that ever oc curred in the ci al regions took place here late this afternoon. The Ilol B leuback & Heilman vein mines aie situated under a thickly settled por tion of the city. They are 1,000 led deep, and for years past no coal was supposed to be mined in that portion of it underlying the city for (ear the earth would sink. To day at 4 o’clock the crash came. Madison street, one of the principal thoroughfares ot the city, is filled with large crevices,from which the gas escapes in huge volumes. Owners of houses are greatly alarm ed. The men in the mines had all they could do to escape with their lives. Some of the mules were caught in the workings and killed. Eight hundred men and hoys are thrown out of work. The loss to the mine owners will he over 8100,000, and the loss to property owners on the sitr face will he double that amount. Joiisstown, Pa., June 10.—Sun day quiet reigned here to-day and in stead of booming dynamite the sound of sacred hymns was heard. In the few churches remaining services were held, but the largest meetings of the day took place in the open air. Kansas City, Mo., June 10—Mea ger details of a flood, and cyclone in Kansas, have been received, Union- town is reported swept away. The globe in the Paris Exposition represents the earth on the scale of one-millionth, and is nearly one hun dred feet in diameter. -Paris occupies about one-third of an inch. All the great lines of communication by land and sea are shown in detail. The earth’s daily rotation will be precisely imitated by clock-work; a point on the globes equator moving an eighteenth of an inch per second. Family Records.—“Lige,” said the President, meditatively, "I understand there was great difficulty experienced in finding Washington descendants lor the recent centennial.” “Yes, sire,’ responded Lige; “it was, I believe.one of the hardest jobs the committee had on their hands.” “Well, Lige, I think Washington should have had sufficient forethought to have prevented all that mystification, don’t you?” “Yes. sire, and it would have been easy enough to have kept his relations before the public if he had wanted to,’’ observed Lige quietly, as he addressed and seal ed an appointment ol the President’s fourth consin to a $4,000 salary.— Puck.
