WEEKLY BUDGET.

THE EASTERN STATES. Two coal miners, named Gilmore and Dennison, fought a dee perate prize-fight over a girl, near Wilkesbarre, Pa. " The fight lasted l.hour and 10 minutes, and 44 rounds were passed. When the forty-fifth round was called Constable McHenry broke into the ring and declared the men under arrest Both men were terribly punished. While the fight was in progress a dog owned by Dennison, which viewed the battle from between the legs of the bystanders, broke through the ropes, and. on seeing his master knocked to the ground, bit Gilmore in the face. The dog refused to loosen his hold, and his jaws had to be pried open by an iron bar. Gilmore was horribly punished, and may not recover. A Philadelphia dispatch states that T. V. Powderly, General Master Workman, Knights ot Labor, when shown the published report of a letter purporting to have been written by him to E. T. Gould, of Indianapolis, Ind., which expressed his determination to resign, said: “I sent no letter to Gould embracing the points he claims, but he probably takes extracts from other communications I sent him, and, combining them with the gist of my speech at Minneapolis, published the combination as coming from me. You can say for me, lam not going to resign this year. That is about all I can say on the question.”
