The Postmaster Appointed.

The long agony is at last over In re-
ference to the new postm aater, and
President Cleveland ended the sus-
pense yesterday by sending the name
Of Robert FL. Taylor to the Senate for
confirmation. AS Postmaster Swig-
Rett's time expired May 10th, there Can
be no doubt about the appointment
being confirmed.
Mr., Taylor is native of Philadel.
phis, and ia about SO years OF age. He
removed to this city when quite young
and after obtaining an education In the
public schools, learned painting, and
has for o number of y ears been employ
ed at that business in the car shops Of
the p, w. & B. Railroad Company
Ever since he attained his majority he
has taken an active part In politics, and
was FIRST elected to Council la 1873,
when but % years of age, and sincs
then has served continuously in tina
body with the exception OF one year
Although he has never aspired to be
leader in Couu cil, he has always exert
ed q great influence upon his fellow
members, and in times Of exciting de
bate has invariably proved himself on
of the calmest and coolest in that body
He was the Democratic candidate 10
President of Council in 1882, but wa
defeated by q. c. Conrad, Esq.
There is no doubt but his selection q
postmaster Is an excellent one and ths
he will perform the duties OF tie pos

In Danger of Being Swallowed Up.

WILKEsBARRE, PA, June 10.-At D
late hour last night the people living
in and about the borough of Parsons
were again terrified by q supposed sec
ond explosion of gas in the Mineral
Spring mine of the LehiRh Coal Com
pany. Many person living within q
short distance of the mine were hurled
about, and they thought for moment
that an earthquake had occurred. A
large number of houses in the vicinity
of the mine were badly shaken. The
surface Of the ground in the vicinity OF
the Philadelphia and Reading depot has
fallen two feet, and this afternoon was
still sinking. All trains are being run
over the spot at a very slow rate OF
speed until the tracks can again be filled
in and repaired. Three houses belong
ing to one man about 800 feet from the
mine have been moved a surprising
distance from their original positions.
Old miners think that a feeder was left
burning after Mondays explosion and
that an accumulation OF gas was finally
reached, this being conveyed to still
larger body of gas. Others think thai
an immense area has caved in, 80 ex
tensive as TO cause a powerful concus
sion of air, and that the noise heard
was made by falling rock and Goa
rather than by an explosion.

Accidentally Killed,

An inquest was held last evening In
the case of Thomas Blake, who was
killed on Wednesday evening by an
engine colliding with the hand car on
which he was riding on the Baltimore
and Philadelphia railroad. The evil
dence was in accordance with the facts
already stated in the REPUBLICAN, and
1t was also shown that on account of
the curve the hand car was not seen by
the engineer until heiwas so close that it
was impossible, owing to the slippery
condition Of the tracks, TO stop the en-
CINE. AS it is impossible for the COM
psny to keep informed OF the whereA-
bouts of the gangs of men employed on
the read no blame can attach to them.
After hearing all the testimony the jury
rendered the following verdict: That
Thomas Blake came to HIS death by be-
