A NIGHT OF MOURNING.
Heartrending Scenes in the
Village of Nanticoke.
Mothers and Sisters Frustrated
With Grief.
of Despair and Agony
Fill the Air.
Terrible Scenes of Anguish.

WnKEsBARpE, Pa, Dec. 22.-There
was no rest for Nanticoke last night. 1t is
impossible to describe the CONSERVATION
dismay and agony which spread through
out the village when it was learned after
midnight that all efforts to get the en-
tombed miners out alive was abandoned.
The town never saw such a sight as that
witnessed from 2 TO 4 O'Clock this morn
ing. No one thought Of rest, and the
whole population was on the streets dis
cussing in the widest manner the decision
to abandon the efforts at a rescue. Ex-
carnations of despair, cries OF agony and
mutterings of discomfort we're heard en-
every corner and in almost every house
hold. The relatives of the unfortunate
victims were in the widest agony of des-
pair. Several were seized with convul-
sions. Fannie Sarver, a sister of the
Sarver brothers, was seized with violent
fits, and at 5 o'clock a. M, it was feared
she would die. Mrs. Kiyeler, the old
mother Of the three Kiveier brothers, was
at deaths door from weakness and the
shock, and many other relatives and
friends Of the victims were completely
Frustrated. The officials in charge of the
rescuing expedition were forced to sban-
don all work in the air shaft from several
irresistible conclusions. Investigations at
an early hour this morning show that
sand, rock and culm had fallen to such
al extent that the mine in which the
miners are buried was now filed to the
roof and that the men are dead and be-
yond all human help. A second cave
took place during the night. which was of
very large proportions, and the real extent
of the damage can hardly be estimated,
but it is great. This fall brought with it
volumes Of black damp and sulphurous
gases which filed the mine and put a pc
remptory stop ia all work. At G O'Clock
this morning it was learned that the bod
les of the victims could not be recovered
for at least a month, and since the news
spread throughout the mining region, the
most intense excitement prevails. Every
effort will now be made to work in toward
the bodies from the slope. The clearing
up of the gangways will now be pushed
as rapidly as possible. 1t is thought the
work will be long and tedious as there is
about 300 feet OF gangway also filed up,
and it it is thought to be packed to the
roof.
LATER 1.-The officials of the Lehigh &
Wlkesbarre Coal company are now going
to the shaft directly over the slope where
the imprisoned miners are thought to be.
By doing this they can reach the victims
in about four days.

oregon's Memorial Stone.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.- Senators
Mitchell and Dolph, and Representative
Herman of Oregon, visited the stone
warehouse of the Washington monument
this afternoon where the Oregon m
ial stone now lies, and formally presented
it to the monument commission as a gift
of the state OF Oregon. The stone is a
very elaborate piece of work. 1t is AZ
feet long by . feet wide and 6 inches
thick, and consists of three different kinds
of Oregon stone. The stone itself is of
brown granite sandstone and bears On Its
face landscape with Oregon's coat of
arms, surrounded by fruits and flowers,
the whole enclosed with araised moulding
set in sandstone. and surrounding the
state seals are t~hirty-two stars of greenish
syenite. Snow capped mountains are
represented by white marble from south
ern Oregon, also set in brown sandstone.

Mormon Conspiracy Trlals.

SALT LAKE, Dec 22.-The trial OF B.
Y. Hampton, charged with conspiracy,
commenced before Judge Zane to day.
Hampton, a city officer and a prominent
saint, is charged with entering into a con
sDiraey with prostitutes to establish
houses of prostitution for the purpose of
eatrapping federal officials and Gentiles.
The only witness examined to-day was
Mrs. Fields, one of the prostitutes. She
testified that she entered into a contract
with Hampton. He furnished the house
for her. The police promised her that
she should not be arrested for running a
house Of prostitution in the city. The
police paid her rent, and reserved one
room in the house for spoilers. Hamp-
ton paid her S4O0 altogether. He took
her past Governor Murray's house in a
buggy and pointed out his residence. He
told her to call on the governor and try to
get him to call on her. Hampton prom
ised her $500 if she got the governor.
AAauhptou duu MS dScDtldlt0 AOiu utT ludl
they wanted to get the names of these
Gentiles so that they could take them off
from the juries on polygamy trials. They
wanted to entrap the governor in order to
get the polygamists out of the peniten-
tiary. 1t appears that the police took a
very active part in the conspiracy. The
trial is exciting great interest, and is at
tended by the governor, the mayor of the
city and other officials. 1t will probably
last several days. There are three other
indictments against H~ampton-onc for
consDiring with woman, and two for keep
ing houses of ill-fame. Judge Zane en-
panelled the grand jury to day and gave
them pointed instructions to investigate
cases of polygamy, unlawful cohabitation
and keepers and habitues Of lewd houses.
He referred to the rumor thar the jury
men would be made to suffer if they did
thorough work. and said be would excuse
anyone who was afraid. They must de-
fend themselves, even by shooting their
assailants, if necessary.

Washington Gossip.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22--The cabinet
meeting to-day decided that in addition to
closing the departments Christmas an |
New Years they would only be closed at
moor on each of the days Immediately
preceding those holidays, and that, con-
trary to long established custom, they
would be open for business as usual in the
interim. This course was adopted in
view of representations that the business
in the several departments, notably the
treasury, is somewhat in arrears and might
accumulate to serious proportions if the
hours were shortened as usual.
1t is said at the white house that with
two or three exceptions, all recess appolnt-
have now been sent 10 the senate
for confirmation.
The Star says that after Senator Beck
had made his speech yesterday in favor of
the continuation of silver coinage, Senator
who had listened attentively
throughout, said: Mr.. Beck is right,
intend to make a speech on the
line. His arguments cannot be re-

en- the Anxious Seat.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-The speaker
OF the house is now at work arranging
the committees, and it is said, will give
them out for publication as soon as corr
pleted, not waiting for congress to meet.
There is considerable uneasiness among
the members to know where they may be
assigned. Their anxiety has kept many in
Washington for the recess. Had the
committees been announced before the adj
journment it is probable that most of the
members would have gone home for their
Christmas dinner, but ander the existing
circumstances only seventy-fve have
taken advantage OF the opportunity.
The remainder, or most of them, will stay
in the city.

DAILY RELIGION.

one of the modern writer's has recently
said that the danger to religion which
should he guarded against is the separat'
ing of Christianity from the daily life and
setting 1t aside, as IL wore, TO be practlccd

that he should spend It precisely as he
intended to do without that knowledge,
He would make no alteration whatever,
for his bible and prayer-book had taught
him always to 1--we IN such a
