Not So Much Benefit After All.

A. Il. Coe, Scranton, Pa, writes to
the Chicago News; When it Is summed
up in cold blood the result Of the dis
covery of natural gas in western Penn
sylvania is not wholly a matter of
profit. Its immediate effect has been
TO decrease the expenses Of certain
classes of manufacturers in a very
small district, but its use as fuel ia
dwellings has not proved go large an
economy, though it has produced a
great saving OF dirt. The iron men
and the glass men Of Pittsburg have
been benefited, but ii has been at the
cost Of all interest that is quite as
large and fully az important to the
general welfare of the people. The
coal operators have suffered just in the
ratio that gas has been substituted for
their product, and the ratio has been
SO large that they are already cOp-
fronted by the necessity OF seeking for
a new market 10 make up the home
deficiency. A close calculation shows
that since the introduction Of gas the
decrease in the consumption of coal
amounts TO about 4 900 600 tons
yearly. From the standpoint of
the labOrer, that means that ia
the present condition Of things there is
employment for about 5000 fewer
miners than before the new fuel was
discovered, and the loss of the produc-
tive power of that large number Of
men means a proportionate deprecia-
ton of the volume of trade dependent
upon their necessities. Pittsburg's
purely local gain, in other words,
means general loss to the surrounding
mining country that has hitherto been
tributary to and a sharer in its success.
The partial Gripping of the coal pro-
ducing industry in that region is not
sharply felt by any one but the miners.
the operators, and local tradesmen as
yet. but if the gas holds out the depres-
sion will soon become so general as to
demand attention. with the effect, |
hope, of finding the remedy in new
markets beyond tho reach Of gas reser.
voirs.

N%ANTICOKE'S SORROW.
The Last Hope of Rescuing the
Nanticoke Miners DispeIled
by Other Dangers.
A Further Cave Of Quicksand En-.
dangering the lives Of the
Rescuers.
SCENES

Wilkesbarre, Pa, dispatch: Sunday was the
gloomiest day ever witnessed in Nanticoke.
Thousands Of people poured into the town in
vehicles, on horseback and sfoot. Hundreds
OF them gathered In groups around the vari-
GUS workings, where they discussed the situa-
ton OF the imprisoned men. The latest official
message received is that the rescuing party,
working on q gangway from the air shaft, had
reached the first chamber In which 1t was
hoped some Of the men would be found. The
air was good and apparently fresh, but no
signs OF any living person were found. There
are six other chambers along the gangway, and
1t is thought the men may be found In one OF
them. A new gang Of sixty men went into
the mine at 9 O'Clock Monday morning, and
are pushing forward with the utmost e~Iertion.
About 8 O'Clock Tuesday night the work OF
the ~rescuing party was suddenly interrupted
by another fall OF sand rock and culm. The
men we're working on \ steep incline. They
fed for their lives and several Of them had
very narrow escapes. The work of digging
for the m being suspended. The fall did
not come from the surface, but from An up-
B"e ~ ~ IA Sh1 81 u al
exploration, thought 1t could be overcome
with u few hours work, and at IL 20 y. IN. q
new gang OF ninety men prepared TO 90 down.
Three men, James Turner, John AbsOlom aud
Joseph VARIED were caught in the fall
Though not badly injured they were extricated
with great difficulty.
Ii is believed IL viii take seven days TO pene-
trate the mass OF earth now obstructing the
passsgcs The scenes around the mine are
indescrtbable. Women and children. who
have hardly closed their eyes since Friday, are
made neary crazy 10y the fresh calamity.
Screams and walls OF anguish from the women
are continuous, while the disheartened and
exhausted miners sit around the mouth OF the
mine in sullen despair. Crowds OF people for
miles around are coming to view the scene.
LATERAL IL 80 Tuesday night the mine
officials AZ Nanticoke decided TO abandon work
on the air shaft on account Of the cave In aud
the presence of fire damp. All attempts TO
get the missing men out alive have now been
abandoned, but work through the tunnel viii
be pushed steadily forward. 1t will probably
he two weeks before the bodies are reached.
No. | ~colliery, where the accident occurred,
employs coo men and boys. It's output is the
lowest OF any OF the Susquehanna Coal com
papy's mines, being but $50 carloads per day.
The loss 10 the company will be large, and the
next three mouths VIII 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 c~olleries Of the company.
