WILKEsBAnRE. Dec. Pa A. M.-Ai
1890 o'clock this morning the mine off.
Gals at Nanticoke decided to abandon
work in the air-shaft ON account OF q cave
and the presence of fire damp. All at.
tempts to get the missing men out alive
has now been abandoned. but work
through the tunnel will be pushed steadily
forward. 1t will probably be W. weeks
before the bodies are reached.
ga. M.-There was no rest for Nanticoke
last night. 1t is impossible to describe in
words the CONSERVATION, dismay and agony
which spread throughout the village when
it was learned after midnight that all
efforts to get the entombed miners out
alive had been abandoned. The town
never saw such q sight IS that witnessed
from 2 to 4 o'clock this morning. No M
thought OF rest. The whole population
was on the streets discussing in the widest
manner the decision to abandon all efforts
at rescue. Explanations of despair, cries
OF agony and mutterings OF discontent
we're heard or every corner and in almost
every household. Relatives OF the un-
fortunate victims were in the widest
agony and despair, and several were seized
with commissions. Fannie Sarver, o sister
of the two Sarver brothers, was FRUSTRATED
with violent fits, and at 5 A. M. it was
feared che would die. Mrs. Kiveler. the
old mother of the three Kiveler brothers,
was at deaths door from weakness aud the
shock, and many other relatives and
friends of the victims were completely
Frustrated. Officials in charge Of the
rescue expedition were forced TO abandon
all work from the air-shaft by several ir-
reBistable conclusions. Investigations at
an early hour this morning show that the
sand. rock and slum had fallen to such On
extent that the mine in which we're the i'm
prisoned miners, was now filled to the
roof, and that the men are dead and be-
yond all human help. A second cave took
place during tho night, which was of
very large proportions, and the real
extent of the damage can hardly be
estimated, but 1t is great. This
fall brought with it volumes Of
black damp and %sulphurous gases. which
filed The mine and put q peremptory stop
to all the work.
At 6 o'clock this morning it was learned
that the bodies of the victims cannot be
recovered for at least a month, and since
the newt has been spread throughout the
mining region the most intense excitement
prevails. Every effort will now be made
to work in towards the men from the
stope. The clearing up OF the gsngways
will be pushed as rapidly as possible. 1t is
thought the work will be long aud tedious,
as there is about 5000 feet of gangwsy
also filed up and said TO be packed to the
roof.
10 A. M.-The officials OF the Lehigh and
Wilkesbarre Coal Company are now going
to sink 0 shaft directly over the stope
where the imprisoned miners are supposed
to be. II is thought that by doing this
they can reach the victims in about four
days.
