Wilkesbarbe, Pa??? December 21.???Thu sit* nation it Nantfooke is unebangod. At 1:30 this afternoon the relief party were still push ing toward the imprisoned men, and have been spurred on to greater efforts by a signal they had received, which indicates that there is life beyond. Tapping upon an iron air pipe was heard l>y the rescuers, and they naturally conclude that therein yet good ground* of hope that at least some of the men may be res cued alive. It is the opinion of some of the liest miners that they cannot reach the men for some days, owiug to the extent of the ob- atrnctlons. Others arc ranguine euougli to ox pert that they will reach tho men within the next ten hours at tho longest. At about 0 o???clock this evening, the work of the colouring party was suddenly Interrupted by the fall of sandrock and culm. The men were working on a steep incline when tho vast macs fof debris came crashing down toward* them with great violence. They tied for their lives, and although they escaped nn injured, several of them had very narrow e* rapes. The work of digging for tho Imprisonod men it, for the time being, suspended, but tho officials in charge are making strenuous efforts to overcome the difficulties and continue their labors. an AVAi.Axmr. or ??\ki> bock. The fill of rand and culm at So. 1 slope in Nant icoke. this evening, did not come from tho surface, ns was feared nt first, but from an upper chamber. The officials In charge, after nn exploration, thought it could be overcome with a few hours work, and at 11:20 p.ra. a new gang of flight men were preparing to go down. Three men. .fame* Turner. John Ab salom and Jos. Warm* were caught in the fall. Though not badly injured they were rxtrimfid with great difficulty. The men who were at work are now afraid to re enter the mine, and there now ap pears to he no possible hope of recovering tho imprisoned men alive. They have been im prisoned sineo Friday morning, and oven though they may have lived for a time in the hrotitwork*. they must die of starvation, if from no other cause, it Is believed it will take several days to iicnetrato the mass of earth now obstructing the passages, Tho ex cite ment around the mine is ihdescribahle. Women and children, who have hardly closed their eyes sineo Friday, are made nearly rraxy bv the fresh calamity. Tho screams and walls of anguish from the women rend the air, while the disheartened and exhausted miners sit around tho mouth of tho mine in sullen despair. Crowds of people for mites around are coming to view the scene of deso lation. Tho town of Xanticoke is a place of mourning and lanicntution. AM. lion: AIIANDO.VKI). At 12:10 this morning the mine officials nt Xanticoke decided to abandoti work in the air shaft*. on account of tho cave in and the presence or fire damp. All attempts to get the miming men out alive have now been abandoned, hut the work through tho tuuncl will. be pushed steadily forward. It will profiahly In* alsiut two weeks Iwfore tho hodies of tho miming men arc reached. Wit.KEsnAnnR, l's..

Mrs. Klvclcr, tho old mother of tho three Kivelcr brothers, was at death???s door from weakness and shock, and iiiuuy other relative* and friends of the victim* were completely I prostrated. The officials in charge of the res cue work were forced to abandon all workl from the air shaft by several irresistible con elusions. Investigations at an early hour this] morning show that the sand rock and culm has fallen to such an extent that tho inlno in which the imprisoned men wero confined was now filled to the roof, and that the men are deed ami beyoud all human help.

As far as can bo ascertained, the black damp has been cleared from the slope near wbero it Is supposed men aro imprisoned.

The festive gatherings in household and church were overshadowed by the prevailing gloom and sorrow. None could forget the terrible fate of tho twenty-six men and hoys bnried 200 feet below ground, in the dark chamber* of slope 2. Alter further discussion and con sultation by the engineers today, tho company finally decided to sink a new shaft from the surface at a point dircctlv nl/ove where the bodies are supposed to bo. This shaft will !>e about 175 feet deep, and will take from four to six weeka to complete, even with the most rapid work. The excavating of the blocked gangway from the foot of the slope is being steadily carried on day and night, but it is a very slow' process, and months will elapse before the mino Is cleared. Prayers were of fered this morning in every church through out Wyoming VaJJeyfor the unfortunate men. .
