Henry Carroll, saloon artist, runsing place
on Main street, was on the path yesterday
the result OF long and repeated practice on MS
own liquor barrels, no doubt, though yesterday
he did not appear to be drunk. He began on his
wife, whom he beat with chair and would have
killed or most seriously injured had he not been
interfered with and when so interrupted in his
amusement, he struck Nick Mccormick, OF
Utica, over the head with measure or pot
tie, inhcting a bad cut The marshal hearing
of the row started down to the saloon, but before
he got there Carroll had rushed out of his place
and around to his sons barber shop on Madison
street. When he got through with that barber
shop 1t looked as though It had been struck by
! lightning, so thoroughly was the furniture ana
glassware demolished. Officer Baker stopped
him at the barber shop, but was unable to man
age him, until the marshal put IN an appearance,
when Carroll was promptly lodged in jail

Some time ago in trying to remove the tubing
Of the well in the rear OF the St Nicholas Hotel,
part Of the upper section was torn off, leaving a
ragged edge some few feet below the surface. To
reach this for finishing so rs TO carry the water
to the houses Of the owners It was necessary 10
dig down to it, part of the distance being
through solid rock On Thursday afternoon, Nh.
CorcOran, known as the dynamite man. was
there with Ed. Morgan blasting with dynamite.
Drills had been made and three dynamite cart.
ridges were discharged by electricity at one
shot. Unfortunately only two were discharged,
as it ultimately proved for in blast Of two OF
more cartridges 1t is impossible to know whether
all are discharged or not. After the blast Nor
gan was down in the whole, digging more holes
for further blasts Corcoran was standing lit
tie above, and on the surface above were James
Carew and his little nephew, watching the drill.
ing As Morgan drilled his iron struck the un-
exploded cartridge, and it was shot of. Morgan
aud Corcorau were both injured particularly
about the eyes, though Morgan is hurt the most.
Their faces were "pcppered" with sand like a
man at short range with gunpowder. Mr. Cor
cOran's injuries are not serious, but Mr.. Morgan
will PROBABLY lose his right eye, with chances
against him for saving the other. The sand
seems to have struck his hat brim, which drove
it back into his eyes and face. He loses also a
couple Of fingers and is otherwise hurt. Mr.. Ca
rev and his nephew are uniniured.- greatest
carelessness was exhibited, for under the circum-
stances not more than one cartridge should have
been shot al time.
