WILKEsBARRE. Pa, June 27.-It has been
raining here for several days. The Baltimore
dam covering several acres on the outskirts of
the city, gave way this morning, filling creek
rnnning over the lands of the Delaware &
Hudson Company and the Baltimore miners
The water began running into Nos. and
mines, washing ont the props and causing an
extensive cave-in of nearly half an acre. The
water now is finding its level in the Conyn-
ham mine and the miners have made hasty
retreat for safety. The residents in the neigh
borhood are alarmed.
At1 o'clock great excitement prevailed at
the scene of the CAVERN. 1t has extended a
considerable distance, and has already eng ulf-
ed one house, which was carried down with its
contents rs feet. A large portion OF branch
of the Delaware & Hudson railroad is now en-
dangered and may disappear at any MON eut.
Several houses are in peril, the occupants seek
ing safer quarters. Up to this time there has
been no loss of life 1t is feared that there
will be still further loss of property.

Sir A. T. Gait on Political Matters.
MONTREAL, June 27.-Sir Alexander Gait, in
a conversation, said that the right of Canada
to make her own commercial treaties had been
practically conceded by England. He thought
the Governor General would always be ap-
pointed by the British government, and
though the Dominion pays his salary he
thought it very unlikely that the Canadian
Parliament would have the right of choosing
who should be Governor, especially AS the
Governor-Geueral was responsible TO England,
and not to Canada. The independence ques-
tion was not only dead issue, but had never
been a live one. On the question of Irish im-
migration, he said the Dominion was taking
its share. He had always besn extremely par
ticular in selecting for assisted passages oaly
such people as had physical force to I'LL posi-
tions. Under no circumstances would he ae-
cept pauper or one who had been in the
workhouse.

placed was driven from under him, producing
the fall. Five hundred persons of 10th races
and sexes were present. No secret was made
Of the ntended6hanging, general notice be-
ing given Of the exact hour. At first it was
decided to burn him, as was done in a previous
case in the same vicinity some time agJ, but it
being recollected that the law provides hanging
as the penalty for rape, it was finally deter
mined to follow that course. OF the three
negroes concerned. Lacey and Sullivan were
captured by citizens. Sullivan, it is thought,
Is innocent, and will probably be released
Douglass was arrested by officers and is still in

CIVIL SERVICE
Providence Has the First Examination In
New England.

FTOVluence las tne tlfSb examination In
New England.
Providence, r. l., June 27.-T The first ex-
amins ton held in New England under the civil
service law Of last winter was conducted yes
terday in this city, Hos. D. B. Eaton being
present and assisting. There were fourteen
competitors; eight for service at the post office
and six for service in the departments at Wash
ington. The examination lasted from h l-past
12 until nearly 5 o'clock. 1t was under the
charge of w. d. Brayton, George M. Kendall
and Charles III. Williams the board of exam
liners Of the Providence post-office. The ques-
tions were all in writing, and the answers were
also made in writing Ibe subjects were such
as to test, as far as practicable, the possession
OF the information and capacity needed in the
part OF the service which the different classes
of applicants we're seeking to enter. 1t is
thought that the Civil Service will soon give to
the public press the questions used on this
examination, in order that it may be better
understood what are to be the standards of
capacity and information which are to take
the place OF those familiar influences which
the new law is intended to suppress at the
gates of entry to the public services
