The foregoing statement by Mayor Thomas H. Carr will be of deep signifi- eance to men who follow Mont tgomery City politics. It means that there will De at least a half dozen candidates for Mayor in the primary election to be held some time in April.
 Mayor Carr has not been in good health for several months. It has been 4ima and again intimated he would bot stand for reelection owing to the condition of his health. As he says lin his statement, his health Is not lseriously impaired. bur 1t Is such that he does not care to further burden himself with executive duties of the city after his first term has expired.
 The Mayor has made two trips to Indiana for the benefit of his health and he has been confined to his home on South Court street nearly a nppth. It was said yesterday ;nat he would be able to resume his business and official duties within a few days, but he req lizes that he must give more consid- eration to his physical condition in the future, than he has done in the past.
 In city political circles, there has been a feeling that if Mayor Carr stood for reelection he would have little trouble in securing an endorsement of his administration of the city govern

A aRanIeu, in Columbus.

Columbus has a burglar who indulges in some very eccentric conduct. He ransacked the dental offlce of pr. U. W. Pierce on Broad Street and the next night visited the residence of Misses McDaniel on Second Avenue. He did not secure any booty. but helped himself to an elaborate lunch in the dining, where he dropped and left a dental instrument. valued at $8, that had been stolen from Dr. Pierce's of- flee. Dr. A. A. Williams's office was entered. his desk broken open and pa- pers scattered on the floor, though nothing was stolen. After looking through the desk the burglar went in- to the doctors reception room. curled up on a sofa, and took a nap or rather a succession of maps as the cigarette ashes and stumps on the floor the next morning showed Two other burglaries are thought to be the work of the same person.
