WILLIS BARRE, Penn, Dec. 3d.
There was no rest for NantIcoke last
night. It is impossible to describe the
CONSERVATION, dismay and agony which
was spread throughout the village when
IL WAS learned that all efforts to get the
entombed men out alive had been aban-
doned. The town never saw such
sight as that witnessed from two TO four
O'Clock this morning, No one thought
OF ress. The whole population were on
the streets discussing in the widest
manner the decision to abandon the ef-
forts 10 rescue the men. Elk.
lamstions OF dispair and cries
of agony and mutterings OF dIscon
tent were heard On every corner and In
almost every household. The relatives
OF the unfortunate victims were in the
widest agony of despair, and several
were seizeo with commissions. Fannie
Sarver. sister of the two Sarver brothers,
was Frustrated with violent fits, and at
8 a. m. it was feared she would die. Mrs.
KIveler. the old mother of the three
Riveler brothers, is at deaths door from
weakness and the shock, and many
other relatives and friends OF
the victims are completely
Frustrated. The officials IN charge OF
the rescuIng expedition were forced to
abandon work in the air shalt BY several
irresistible conclusions Investigations
early this morning show that sand, rock,
hAVa tn
that the mine in which the imprisoned
men were, ia now filed to the roof, ana
that the men were dead beyond all hu-
man help. A second cave in took place
during the night of large proportions
and the real extent of the damage can
hardly be estimated, but it Is great,
The fall brought with it volumes of
black damp and sulphurous gases which
filled the mine and put q premtory stop
to all work. At six O'Clock this morning
IL Is learned that the bodies OF the vic
Tins cannot be recovered for at least a
month, and since this has been spread
throughout the mining region the most
intense excitement prevails. Every eff
fort will be made TO work IN toward the
men from the slope. The clearing up OF
the gangways will be pushed as rapidly
as posi- Cle. It is thought the work will
be long and tedious, as there Is about
5000 feet of gangwaY also piled up and
said to be packed TO the roof
ANOTHER ATTEMPT.
The officials Of the Lehigh and
Wilkesb IRE Coal company are now 60
ing to sink shaft directly over the slope
where the imprisoned miners are sup
posed to be. It is thought by doing
this they can reach the victims in about
four days.
