TERRIBLY INJURED

Fly an Explosion or Fulminate at che Winchester Armory-HecoveredC Con- sciousness Last Evening Hut His Recovery nos Expected.
 About 7:30 o'clock yesterday morning an explosion occurred in the Illuminating room of the Winchester Armory. Thomas Dona- hoe, an employee was frightfully injured and there is but little hope of his recovery. :. The building In which this and other trightful explosions occurred is long one- stery brick building on the old Munson estate, now owned by the company. It fronts on Argyle street, short distance from the track of the Northampton Rail- road. There are about forty men and thirty Burns is foreman.
 When Donahes stopped work Wednesday night he left quart of large primers on his sisted in running them into @ machine which loads them. To do this safely the caps must be dampened. Donahoe dampened these when he quit work Wednesday. When he commenced filling them yesterday morning they were dry, but instead of again dampen- ing them he went right on filling them. But two or three had been run through when one
 
 and in second the whole quart went off with a tremendous report. Donahue was thrown to the floor with one finger torn of, the sight of one eye totally destroyed, the upper portion of his body terribly bruised and grains of illuminate and powder blown into his arms and breast and face. As the injured man worked in a corner apart from the rest of the employees, they escaped in- jury. As soon as the smoke cleared away his fellow employees found him unconscious on the floor, his clothing and face covered with blood and powder. Dr. Hawkes. was called and the ambulance sent for. He did all he could for the injured man until the ambulance arrived and then accompanied him to the hospital, where consultation was held with Dr. Russell.
 Donahue lived at % Hsllock street. He was thirty years old and was 8 sober, steady, industrious workman. All the girls in the department were excused from further work during the day.

TALK OF BALLOON WEDDINGS.

Captain David 6. Thomas Tells Of a
 Too.
 Balloon weddings frequently figure quite prominently from time to time in the news papers, and last evening COURIER rsport- CT asked Captain D. s. Thomas what he thought of them. Said that gentleman: "Of all the "balloon weddings' have read about of late, the marriage ceremony seems to have been performed either in the basket before the start or at an altitude of a few hundred fee, the balloon being made fast to the earth by rope. The only balloon wedding in the full sense of the term that have ever known was that in Cincinnati in the fall of 1875 in connection with the Barnum Hippodrome. This was fnll ledged affair, and the mar riage ceremony was not commenced until the balloon had reached an altitude of one mile. The party consisted of seven persons. They were Mary Walsh and Mir. Charles Colton, the contracting couple; Miss Annie and groomsmsn; Rev. Mir. Jeffrey, officiating clergyman; Paul Donaldson and myself. When our barometer showed an altitude of one mile and we were drifting rapidly north, I, as master of ceremonies, placed the couple in position, with bridesmaid and groom on either side, when, with far less levity than one sees at an aristocratio church wedding, the brave young couple were made man and wife. All kissed the bride Donelson climb ing down from his perch in the concentra- ting ring for this purpose. A bountiful marriage feast followed the ceremony, and Mir. and Mrs. Colton are now leading @ happy and prosperous life in New York city,"

miIlIoua of Fiah.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 There are millions of fish in Long Island Sound, fat fish, yielding a large amount of fine oil, and tons of Guana by the hundred. The factories along the coast are all busy, night and day, gathering the harvest, sent here to our shores. Soon these fish will go south out of the reach of nets until an- other season rolls around; then it is not cer~ tain they will be fat.
 The Miles factory at Milford is doing some thing after several years of idleness. They have but one net and one steamer. Had they
 the fleet they once had, they could do more
 business in one month, gather in from the
 sea more value in money, than all the busi- nses in the town can produce in whole
 year, and employ a large number of men, men who need work, to support themselves and their families.
 This place is quite resort for people who go there for pleasure, fishing, etc., by the hundred, and spend the whole day. There are no bad or disapreeable oders there to annoy any one, and the visitors enjoy thsm- selves hugely, especially when the fish bite brisk and sharp. Children play in and about the factory when tired of fishing. Here is an extract from decision rendered ! in Atlanta, Ga., where certain sensitive oiti- 1 zsns attempted to enjoin the storing at fer | tilizsrs in that city. The court refused the | injunction and then remarked as follows:
 (vol. 50 Georgia Reports, page 130.)
 "There is nothing in acid fertilizers calculated to produce disease, but on the contrary the ammonia
 Contained therein rendered the odors arising there | broad term; the proceeding to abate it is 8 very harsh remedy. We do not think that the ordinary use of guano depot is very serious ! matter. Every day experience shows that every ! variety of these manures are carried upon rail.

 the ship loads thousands of miles, is not stomach
 the ordinary kind It is too nice, perhaps, from some disease for ordinary life.
 It is not against susceptible organizations that the nuisance arises to make a thing nuisance Il ought to be of such character as would hurt or annoy in the legal sense of those words, ordinary people, not nice susceptible, sicky people; petl tion dismissed.

THAT OLD, OLD BILL.

Superintendent Bollman's Bill For
 Entertaining Bridgeport Omclals at
 Heublein's Again Fails of Approval
 The Board of Finance a Tie-Appro.
 priations Asked For by she Board of
 Public Works Refused.
 The board of finance met at the mayors office at 1:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Mayor Peck, Aldermen Bushnell and Gessner and Councilman Bromley were present. The meeting was appointed at that early hour in order that the board might attend Councilman Lowes clambake.
 The bill sent up 80 many times from the police commissioners for $27.70 expended in entertaining Bridgeport officials at Heublein's and which the board of finance has several times refused to approve, had another inning yesterday. Superintendent BolIman paid the bill and asks for reimbursement. The great objection to the payment of the bill is that some of the finance committee believe the visit of the Bridgeport officials was more ben- efcial to the owners of the Brewer & Smith visual signal system than fer a general in- spsction of the police department apparatus. Hence they think the bill should be paid by somebody else than the 0ity.
 OoMhAAooAokSA oontOA 0APlalucO uOW tuo bill was contracted and thought that for the good name of New Haven the bill should be paid. Alderman Gessner opposed the pay- ment and Alderman Bushnell favored 1t. The latter remarked that there was not city in the State but would pay such bill for New Haven. The vete stood: For approval, Mayor
 Peek and Alderman Bushnell; opposed, Al- derman Gessner and Councilman Bromley. Tie committee of the board of public works asked the board to recommend to the
 common council an appropriation to meet these bills: Contingent expenses, $1,000; crosswalks and gutters, $400; grading streets
 $500; paving streets, $1,000; granite pave ment for Church street, $8,000; total, $10,- | 700. The board decided that they had no money to meet any such appropriation. The board of public works also asked for a spe- cial appropriation of $12,000 for the con struction of the Congress avenue sewer. l Commissioner Reilly appeared in behalf of his board.
 I These billa were approyed.

However,, relief il close at hand. A little
cloud mo bigger than "a mans hand" is
first seen tn rise above the waters, and the
battle of opposing winds begins.
