ALL HOPE ABANDONED
Of Saving the Miners Imprisoned
in the Slope at Nanticoke.
rwenty-four Lives Almost Certainly Conc
Out in the Coal Mine.

WILKEsBARRE, Pa, December 2O.-To-day
was the gloomest day ever witnessed i'll
Nanticoke Thousands of people poured
into the town, in vehicles, on horseback
and on foot Hundreds of them gathered
in groups around the various workings,
where they discussed the situation of Il
imprisoned men. A message was brought
here from Nanticoke this morning to the
effect that William Elke had been found in
the gangway, and evidently had been
dead several hours AT the com
pany's office this was denied. They
state that the situation remains
unchanged from that of yesterday, though
they hourly expect to reach the fatal spot
where the entombed are supposed to be.
The rescuing parties are continuously at
work, under direction of Superintendent
Morgan. There is no hope of rescuing any
of the victims alive. AT s o'clock this
evening the rescuing party struck mass of
wet sand, and forty-flve additional men
were sent in to remove it, At 9 O'Clock an
official report was received at the COM
pany's office here to the effect that the
rescuing party were then within twenty
feet of the fatal chamber, and were hoping
to reach the imprisoned men by eleven
O'Clock 1870 O'Clock message was
brought from the pit in which the relief
that the men We're still working vigor
ously, but that they had not yet reached
the imprisoned miners. From the present
outlook it is doubtful if they gain entrance
to the fatal slope chamber before to-mor-
row. Almost as fast as the sand is re-
moved it fills in again, and the men are
now laboring under great difficulties. No.
Colliery, where the accident occurred,
employs six hundred men and boys Its
output is the lowest of any of the Susque-
hanna Coal Companys workings, bling
but $50 carloads per day. The loss to the
company will be large, and the next three
months will be consumed in max
ing repairs. During that time the
men and boys will not remain idle,
but will be given work at the other collier
les of the company. At 1:G0 o'clock a. m.
report from Nanticoke says that rescuers
finally reached the place where the men
were supposed to be- but the men were not
there. The rescuing party are now push
ing forward to another chamber, with hopes
| of finding them in few hours
