Eastern Echoes. F. DeCordora & Co., commission and shipping men of New York, are in the hands of a receiver; debts, $200,000. News is received from Flathead Lake, Mont., that thirteen Indians tried to cross the ice on ponies, broke through and five Indians were drowned. Two men were killed and three wounded in a wreck on the Philadelphia and Reading road near Shamokin, Pa., caused by a freight train running into a huge boulder that had rolled on the track. At Punxsutawney, Pa., the Sheriff evicted five families at the Adrian mines. He was accompanied by a squad of Pinkertons. There was not the least sign of resistance. Twentv-five Chinamen from California have arrived at Pittsburg, Pa. It is the intention to put them to work as laborers in place of Italians and Irishmen. Fifty others are now on their way from San Francieco. A northbound International train met with an accident four miles from Galveston. The front trucks of the mail car gave way, derailing the entire train. Two passengers were injured by cuts and bruises, but there were no fatal casualties. The State Bank oi Irving, Kan., has suspended. An application has been made by one of the stockholders for a receiver, who alleges great irregularities in the bank's business. The assets of the bank amount nominally to $150,000; liabilities, unknown. In his insugural message to the Legislature, Governor Leon Abbett, of New Jersey, comes out flatfooted in favor of ballot reform. He says the best sentiment of the country in all the States demands ballot reform and honest elections. At Albany, New York, before the ninth annual convention of the State Bar Association, Col. Robert G. Ingersoll delivered an address upon the subject of "Crimes Against Criminals," in which he demonstrated that punishment by torture and death have failed to abate crime. By the explosion of a natural gas main at Sewickley, Pa., Mrs. George Gibbs was fatally burned and her daughter seriously injured. The ladies were carrying a lantern to light them home, and the gas, which was escaping from a break in the main, ignited. Nearly 200,000 shares of Atchison stock were represented at Tuesday's modified five-year trust meeting at Boston. B. P. Sheney, Levy C. Wade and William J. Roche were chosen new trustees. The trust indenture is modified 80 that any vacancies in the trust shall be filled by the trustees as a whole. James Fortner, the defaulting Treasurer of Riley county, Kansas, who was arrested and brought back from Memphis, Tenn., has announced his determination to etarve himself to death rather than take punishment for his crime. He has not touched food or water since Sunday night. Mrs. Whitehead, a widow living near Lafayette, Ind., is in jail charged jointly with Rev. W. Fred Pettitt, with murder in the first degree. Pettitt, it will be remembered, was arrested at Columbus, Ohio, in December, charged with the murder of his wife, last July, by poisoning. Articles have been filed with the Secretary of State of New Jersey by the American Tobacco Company, which is supposed to be the consolidation of a number of old companies. The capital stock is fixed at $25,000,000. It is thought this is the sequence of the recent rumors of the formation of a great cigarette trust.
