THE EASTERN STATES. Two men were killed and two shockingly mutilated in the Mill Creek mine of the Delaware and Hudson Company at Wdkesbarre, Pa.

Lesley, the defaulting Secretary of the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal Company, has been arrested in Philadelphia. He absconded a year ago, and his peculations aggregated about $(150,000. F. Trigg, Eastern Passenger Agent of the Ohio and Chesapeake Railroad, committed suicide by drowning at Niagara Falls. Five men were frightfully injured by an explosion of gas in the Twin Mine at Pittston Junction, Pa. At least two will die.
