Local lntei,iuence,

Abel. of Carrollton, has favored us with a
branch OF flowers Of the Agare americana,
usually called the century plant or aloe.
lhls magnificent specimen is about as fine
as any ever produced here, and attracts
considerable attention. The trees at Mr.
Abels place. in Carrollton, are fully devel-
oped, and may be inspected by anyone
:roln the street There are two other trees
"a this section, about to blossom, one of
them the variegated kind but that one is so
Tar OH the Travelled route that few people
VIII see its beauties. The flowers last
about q month, but have no perfume.
CLOSING Our THE CAsE--The state
ments published il the REPUBLICAN Wed.
uesday morning concerning the burglary
and arson in the house Of DIR. Holt. No. .2i2
Feilclty street, were very singular, and
created considerable comment Two atfi.
davits were made before Judge Adams, but
no arrests were effected. A servant in the
doctors family has stated that q man once
employed IN the house proposed to rob the
place. and made particular inquiries as 70
where yaluables were usually kept. He
was informed. bu: was told that it would
be difficult to steal the silverware, as that
was quite securely hidden. He then said
he would first steal all the things he could
and then ire the building. and during
the confusion steal all he could.
Such IS the story told by the
servant. but there is room to doubt its
correctness. Another singular feature in
this ease is that some Of the missing j.welry
was found IN the servants possession, and
q Is said IT was given by the burglar, which
leads to the belief that. if the statement 10
true. the servant must have been up and
about when the thief was operating. Bur
glars seldom give away stolen goods in that
fashion. Still another feature is that the
prosecutor called on Judge Evans and
asked to withdraw the affidavits. which re.
Gues. was granted. so it seems that an
alleged case sf burglary and arson will be
allowed to go Undecided.
