BEYOND HUMAN help.
A Second Cays-In Fills Thousands
ofFest of Gangway With
TONS OF SAND AND DEADLY GAS.
Scenes Of Agony at NanticOke Among the
Families and Relatives Of
the Dead.

WnKEssARRE, Pa, Dec. 22.-There
was no rest for Nanticoke last night 1t
is impossible to describe in words the con-
sternation, the dismsy, and the agony
which spread throughout the village when
it was learned after midnight that all ct
forts 10 get the entombed miners out alive
were abandoned. The town never saw
such a sight as that witnessed from two to
four clock this morning. No one thought
ofrest. The whole population was on the
streets regretting in the widest manner the
decision TO abandon the efforts at rescue.
Exclamations Of dispair, cries OF agony
aud mutterings of discomfort were heard
in every corner and in almost every house
hold. Relatives Of the unfortunate vic
tins we're in the widest agony Of despair.
Several were seized with eonvulsions
Fannie Saryer, sister of the two Sarver
brothers, was prostrated with violent fits
and at ) a. m. it was feared abe would die
Mrs. Kiveler, the aged mother OF the three
K,veler brothers, was at deaths doo' from
weakness and shock, and many other
relatives and friends of victims were COM
pletely Frustrated. The officials in charge
of the rescuing expedition were forced to
abandon all work from the air shaft by
several irresistible concessions.
Investigations at an early hour this
morning show that sand rock and culm
had fallen TO such an extent that the mine
in which the imp p'isoned men were was nov
fled to the roof, and that the men are dead
and
gEYOND ALL HUMAN HELP.
A second cavein took place during the
night which vas of very large proportions,
aud the real extent of the damage can
hardly be estimated, bat it is great. Tins
fail brought with it Volumes Of black damp
aud sulphurous gases, which filed the
mine and put a peremptory stop to
ali work. At o'clock this morning
il was learned that the bodies OF the vic
inns cannot be recovered for at least q
month. and since this news has been spresd
throughout the mining region the most In
tense excitement prevails. Every effort
will now be made to work in toward the
men from the slope. The clearing OF the
gangways will be pushed as rapidly as pos
sible. Il is thought that the work will be
long and tedious, as there is about 5000
feet of gaugway also filed up aud said to
be packed 10 the roof. The following is q
complete and

Good for a Democrat.
Norton Corner.

r. 3. Wahlquist, formerly OF this place
but now of the McCook (Nebraska) Dem.
ocrat, has the following complimentary
notice Of our candidate for district judge;
"The Democrats of the 18th judicial
district of Kansas can never, in our opin-
ion, win so long as the Republicans con-
tinue to push forward such strong, clean
and intelligent men as is the nomination
OF Hon. Louis X. Pratt for judge. 1t has
been our fortune to know this gentleman,
to see him rise from poverty and obscurity
to means and position. His election is
certain: First, because there is no man, In
any place or party, who will not say that
he is in every respect qualified; second,
because, personally, Mr.. Pratt is man Of
spotless name and reputation, lawyer
who reaches high up toward the very
head of the Kansas bar, and has strong
personal friendship with the legal profess
sion and the courts of tie state. Heis a
Republican of Republicans, always true
and able, and the people of western Kan
sas are bound, without regard to party, to
recognize his ability and strength. We
ara glad Mr.. Pratt was nominated; we
know he will be elected and make judge
of whom the people can be proud"
