BLOWN UP BY STOLEN POWDER.
Black Burglars Badly Mangled by
Part of Their Spoils.

Townsville, Ga, Sept. 2S-About a
week ago the store of James Ruskin of
Metcalfe, in this county, was burglarized
and a quantity of powder secured by the
thieves. The officers have been on the
lookout for thecrimiuals. An unexpected
catastrophe has resulted in their capture
and a confession.
They proved to be two negroes, Shade
Lee, who was convicted of COW stealing a
week ago and secured his release by
Frank Munroe paying his fine of $31, and
Gus Alexander who as an ex-convict.
They met last night at Shades hous e
on the Munroe plantation to di-
vide the booty, among which was a
25-pound can of powder
In dividing the powder some was spilled
on the floor. Shade threw a spoonful of
this into the fire, which flashed and set
of the rest on the floor This in turn
caused the can to explode, which demol-
ished the house and dreadfully mangled
the two thieves. The roof and one side
of the house were blown entirely away.
A shotgun lying near was also discharged,
the load taking effect in the leg of Shades
wife. Gus Alexander was put in Jail, but
he will probably die. Shade Lee is at
home in charge of a bailiff, being too i'll to
move. He is expected TO die to-day.
There were eight pistols a rife and a
double-barreled shotgun in the house.

PATHos IN A SISTERS PLEA.
The Governor Apt to Pardon Boy
Given Seven Years for Theft.


Atlanta, Ga, Sept. 2S.-Gov Northen
received a pathetic letter to-day from the
Little Sister" that is the way she
signs herself, of Young Gilbert, the boy
recently sent to the penitentiary for
seven years by Judge Bartlett for stealing
Is cents worth of old newspapers from the
Office of the Macon Telegraph Gilbert's
sister is working to secure his pardon
Her letter to-day quickly won the COVER
nor's sympathy and there is a strong
probability that the unfortunate boy will
be allowed to go back to his devoted sis
ter and the mother whom she writes is
dying of grief, unless there is some very
unusual circumstance to prevent execu-
tive interference. The publishers of the
Telegraph will urge the pardon. The case
has more deeply than ever impressed the
governor with the necessity for state re-
form school for juvenile criminals, and he
will put this question in its strongest
light to the legislature. He has already
twice recommended such an institution,
but has determined to continue his efforts
as long rs he is in Office.
