WEEKLY BUDGET.

THE EASTERN STATES. Jaxauschkk, the actress, has instituted suit for $20,000 damages agrinst Henry Ball, Jr., proprietor of the Perry House at Newport, It L, for injuries sustained by falling down stairs, May 17, 1887, and breaking her arm. A desperate fight between drunken Inlanders is reported by telegraph from Wilkeabarre, Pa. A large part of the population consists of Hungarians and Polandera. A grand debauch was in progress over a christening at one of the Polish houses, when a fight began, in which fully thirty men were engaged. Clubs, knives, bottles, jugs, and glasses were used freely. The furniture was broken and the inside of the house was wrecked They fought for fully half an hour, and hardly one escaped mutilation. One was found just outside the house with six knife-wounds in the head and body, his arm broken, one eye gouged out, and his nose smashed He iB dead Two others were fatally hurt and seven others were seriously injured It is not probable that any one can be convicted of the murder, as all were too drunk to know who inflicted the wounds.
