MINE CAVES IN UNDER TOWN
About Twenty Acres Settles, InvOIv-
ing Much Valuable
Property.

WILKESBARRE. Pa, Sept. GA big
cavern OF the earth's surface over the
Payne mine at Dorranceton took place this
evening, causing considerable excitement
in the neighborhood. The cavern covers
an area Of nearly twenty acres and affects
some valuable property on Wyoming street.
The foundations Of some Of the mansions
on this thoroughfare are badly cracked.
Large assures are also to be seen in the
roadway. A further cave-in is expected
and a number Of men have been placed on
guard to give the alarm should the earth
sink still further. The cavern is due to
the fact, so 1t is said, that the mine has
not been in operation since the strike and
water has accumulated in the workings in
large quantities. Timbers rotted away and
the roof in many places fell in. Pillars
also gave way and this weakened the sur
face.
