Giant Powder ExplOdes.

Batesville, Dec. 18.-An ex- plosion of giant powder tore out the glass front of Ed Carter's store in West Batesville and in- jured two boys Tuesday night, and it is considered remarkable that the results were not more serious.
 A can of giant powder at the door of the store had been left open by a clerk. Several boys entered the store and purchased some Roman candles laid in for the coming Christmas celebra- tion. As they left the store they began lighting and shooting off the fireworks. Sparks were car ried back toward the store by the wind, and one, falling in the powder, caused the explosion. The noise of the explosion was heard for several blocks.
 Evan Hicks was severely burned about the face and was also badly cut by flying pieces l of glass. His injuries are very painful, but are said to be not serious. Will Pankey was also burned about the face and hands
 and slightly cut by glass. Every pane of glass in the store
 front was shattered to frag ments. The damage is estimated
 at from $150 to $20O.

Carnegie Helps BatesviIIe.

Rev. T. Y. Ramsey announced Thursday morning that letters have been received from James Bertram, secretary of the Car negie Corporation at New York, in which he agrees that the cor poration would donate $2,0O0 to- wards the $4,000 pipe organ for the new Methodist chuch.
 John w. Glenn had correspond ed for some time with the cor poration, and after considerable discussion, the offer of S2,000 was made. It is said that the check will be forwarded as soon as the other S2,0OO is made up, and that will be within the next few weeks.
 MT. Ramsey says he believes the organ will be installed short ly after the church is completed, and it would not be at all sur prising if they make it a S4,5O0 organ instead of a $4,00O one. The donation from Carnegie makes it possible that the dona- tion may be increased to S2,500. -Batesville Guard.
