MUST APPEAR.-Is has become frequent
practice for parties who have been robbed in
houses of i'll repute on Second and L streets,
to cause the arrest of the offending parties,
and when it comes time for the case to be
prosecuted the complainant fails TO appear
and the case has to be dismissed. This is
probably, IN many cases, caused by the prose-
cutting witness concluding that he would
prefer to lose the money and let the criminal
go unpublished rather than appear as wit
ness and let his name be known in connection
with the circumstances Of the laicsny. In
many cases. however, it is clearly matter Of
after arrangement between the witness and
the party arrested, by which the former is
hired not to appear and prosecute. A few
nights since Maud SiiveTstein, Of l. street.
was arrested for having stolen $50 from
young fellow from the country, and the case
has twice been postponed to procure the at
tendance of the prosecuting witness. City
Attorney Anderson on Saturday asked for
another poStponemeDt of the case until to-
morrow, and for attachments for the delin-
quent parties, which requests were granted
by Judge Henry, and it is determined by the
law officers to compel attendance and not to
permit these escape cases to be SO frequent in
future.
growth Of banana trees in this city, in con-
nection with the severe cold Of last winter,
was not such as to raise very strong anticipa-
ton of success. The one in Mr.. Cummings
yard on o street was frozen entirely to the
ground, although inclosed with matched red.
wood flooring, with movable top to afford
air and light, while the one at Mr.. Browns
on II street was much less injured with only
muslin walls placed around it fer protection.
The latter one, however, was very badly
effected by the freezing, but seems to have
grown well this summer. Mr.. Currier, Of
Folsom, has been experimenting in the cult
ure of the banana, having several trees, in
relation to which the Telegraph says that
with but slight protection afforded they
have grown fnely. They now measure from
sixteen TO twenty feet in hight, and with
their long, glossy leaves make beautiful
showing. Mr.. Currier has eleven Of these
trees and expects them to come into bearing
next season. As they in their early growth
withstood the cold and frost so succ essfnliy,
he now fears but little danger, yet says he
shall slightly protect them with light wrap
Of straw around the main stalks next winter"
