Sinking of Earth caued Excitement
 in Wilkesbarre.
 Wilkesbarre. Pa. Sept 6.--Nearly twer- ty acres of ground over the Payne Mine at Dorranceton caved in tonight. caus- ing considerable excitement in the neigh borhood. Mansions on Wyoming Street were badly cracked. Large Assures are also to be seen in the roadway.
 further collapse Is expected and a number of men have been placed on guard to give the alarm should the earth sink still further. The sinking of the earth Is due to the fact, so 1t is said. that the mine has not been in operation since the strike allowing water to accumulate in the workings in large quantities. Timbers routed away and the roof in many places fell in. Pillars also gave way and this weakened the surface.
