Earth Is Still Sinking.

The sinking Of the ground in the VI
cinity Of Hampton and Eynon streets,
caused by falling roof in the big vein
which underlies these streets, still con-
tinues, and II seems but question Of
time before large cavities will be made
in the ground. The cavern Of last week
was chiefly confined to Hampton street,
and nearly all the houses lying west Of
South Main avenue, on that street,
dropped in either front or rear from two
to ten inches.
The cave-in has begun afresh running
in a northerly direction. The ground
contains a large number Of flssures,
some Of them being many yards in
length. The home Of J. p. Acker, on
South Main avenue, Is seriously affect
ed. The rear portion Of the building
has dropped about ten inches, while
the front has left its foundation and is
standing about three inches above the
cellar wall.
The action Of the earth has broken the
water pipe in the cellar and done other
damage. The house adjoining, owned
by Mrs. Margaret Acker Is damaged
somewhat similarly, with the exception
that 1t is tilted from corner to corner.
The handsome dwellings on Rock street
are badly shaken. Two large cracks
are observed in the double dwelling oc-
cupied by Evan Zachariah and John
Richards. The home of Mr.. Johnson,
on South Main avenue, has dropped
several inches, and the Carpenter block
on Hampton street shows unmistak-
able signs Of the disturbance Of the
earth beneath. The residents of that
portion Of the city are greatly worried
over the state of affairs.

M. J. Donahoe VIII Speak About
Gettysburg Battlefield Tonight.

A most brukal and cowardly assault
was committed yesterday afternoon on
the Roaring Brook bridge. A young
man who afterward gave his name as
Hopkins was walking toward Cedar
avenue. Another young man was fol-
lowing Hopkins few PAGES behind and
without any apparent provocation he
took Q stone from his pocket and dealt
Hopkins heavy blow on the head.
The blow felled him and he laid on the
ground with the blood gushing from a.
large cut In his temple.
He was carried into one Of the houses
near the bridge and a messenger went
to Powers drug store and asked Mr..
Powers to telephone for the hospital
ambulance. In the meantime DR.. Gates,
who was passing, attended Hopkins
and pronounced his injury a superb
cial one. The police patrol arrived. but
the injured man had regained his
senses and was able to walk about. He
would tell nothing about himself save
that his last name is Hopkins, but he IL
thought to be stronger. His assailant
Is unknown and succeeded In making
good his escape.
