Hundreds of spectators visited the place since the occurrence. ALARMING ACCIDENT AT ENNISKILLEN. On Monday last, an accident of an alarming nature, and which nearly resulted in a fatal termination, occurred to a young man named Thomas CONNELLY, from Cootehill. It appears he had been through the fair during the day, in the enjoyment of his usual robust health, and, with a couple of friends, adjourned to the eating-house of Mr. W. DANE, Townhall-street, for the purpose of having dinner. Shortly after reaching a room on the drawing-room landing, he was himself the first to observe a pool of blood on the floor where he sat. He, with his friends, then adjourned to another room, when a young girl, a servant in the house, observed the blood and raised an alarm. The stream was then traced from the room which Connelly had just vacated to the one in which he was, and his friends observed him looking rather pale. The girl, seeing another pool of blood at his feet, at once exclaimed that he was bleeding; almost at the same moment he grew faint from loss of blood, and staggered towards the door; assisted by his friends, he reached the yard, where it became apparent that a vein in his left leg had given way, and the blood was pouring out in an alarming quantity. Dr. TERNAN, of the Medical Hall was hastily summoned, and being, fortunately, at hand, was on the spot at once. On his arrival he found the blood spouting from a burst vein in the man's leg, and the man himself in a state of perfect collapse. The doctor at once stopped the bleeding, had the man removed up stairs, and applied the most powerful remedies to restore animation. In this endeavour, he was, fortunately, successful; and, having got the patient into bed and used warm applications, &c., the young man gradually recovered so far as to be left in safety for the night. The doctor, however, visited him at a late hour, and firmly bandaged the injured limb. His friends having been telegraphed to his mother and a male relative arrived by the 11 a.m. train on Tuesday morning, and the doctor allowed him to leave with them for home by the evening train. CAVAN PETTY SESSIONS. - Monday. (Before W. BABINGTON, Esq.) Mr. J. HASSETT summoned Patt RUDDY, of Glassdrummon, for carrying a gun without having first obtained a gun license. James MALONEY proved the case. He was fined £2 10s. and costs. Sub-Constable Lynch summoned Owen SWEENY for assaulting him. Sent to gaol for a month. The Guardians of Cavan Union summoned Thos. DORAN and Bridget HENRY for neglecting to make a sewer on their premises. Ordered to have it made before the 8th of January next. A number of persons were fined for having light weights in their possession, and also for being drunk or "going on the racket." STRANGE INCIDENT AT CARRICK-FERGUS. On Saturday night last, an incident of a somewhat remarkable nature occurred at the house of a respectable farmer named Robert HILDITCH, situate on the great commons, a few miles distant from this town. It appears that while the inmates of the house were attending to their domestic duties, they were startled by an explosion about the fire-place in the kitchen, which slightly injured some members of the family. As might be expected, considerable alarm prevailed within, thinking that a gun had been fired down the chimney, access to which could easily be had from without by a step embankment which rises immediately at the rear of the house. No one ventured out until next morning, when an intimation was sent to Mr. Hilditch, the owner of the house, who resides on another farm close by. Mr. Hilditch proceeded to Carrickfergus, and informed the constabulary of what had taken place, and Head-Constable HAGAN, and a part of his men at once set out for the occurrence. Dr. TAGGART soon after arrived, and on examination of the faces and arms of the injured persons, he discovered small particles of coal and earth, instead of shot or slugs as had been imagined. The police made a search about the house, and convenient to the fire-place discovered a small barrel of blasting powder, about two-thirds full, which had been used for blasting purposes at limestone quarries adjacent. It is believed that some of the younger members of the family must have had access to the powder, and incautiously put some of it into the fire - hence the cause of the explosion. Fortunately, none of the family are seriously injured. EXECUTION IN NEWGATE. The execution of Charles O'DONNELL, the discharged soldier, who was convicted of the murder of his wife at the last session of the Central Criminal Court, took place at Newgate on Monday morning. The prisoner went to bed at half-past nine o'clock on Sunday night, and slept soundly until six o'clock on Monday morning, when he had his breakfast, and shortly afterwards the ordinary went to his cell and remained with him till the time arrived for the carrying out of his sentence. The prisoner prayed with apparent sincerity and earnestness, and said he admitted the justice of his sentence, and although several of the witnesses at the time had grossly slandered him, he said he forgave them freely. He walked to the scaffold with a firm step, and appeared to be praying while the usual preparations were being made by MARWOOD, the executioner. The drop then fell, and the prisoner appeared to be dead almost in an instant. DISTURBING A CONGREGATION DURING DIVINE SERVICE. - At the Killadysert Petty Sessions on Monday, before Captain M'TIERNAN, Chairman, and Rev. M. FITZGERALD, Rector, Killadysert, a man named SCANLON was charged by the constabulary with disturbing the congregation attending Divine service ot (sic) Lissycasey Catholic Chapel. The offence it appears was committed on two successive Sundays, Scanlon having on each occasion sung some songs of a patriotic and religious nature while the clergyman officiating was proceeding with his duties. Scanlon was committed to jail for one week, the offence having been satisfactorily proven. The poor man was some time since confined in an asylum. He served for a term of twenty years or more as a national teacher, but got no superannuation on his retirement some two years ago. (County Cavan Newspaper Transcription Project)
