The people know. and they are well
convinced of the fact that, it is cheaper
to educate the community than to be
taxed to support them as criminals!
Property pays the cost, and the enor-
NOUS burden of expense Of all this
criminal prosecution.
This question cannot be put of.
Shall we educate and save the young.
or be taxed to punish and provide for
the adult criminals?

Dol. Collins Free on the Insanity Plea.

The hog stealing cases of A. c. Dol
Collins were disposed of in the Criminal
court yesterday. Dol, it will be remembered
was an industrious and competent carpenter
of this city, always regarded as an honorable
man, but he seems to have been taken with
hog stealing mania some days ago, and was
bold and relentless in his operations, taking
hogs inb road daylight from VIM. Gardner,
George Davenport, A. Kennedy and others.
He was indicted in two cases.
Proof was introduced, however, by his
counsel that he had received an injury on
the head some months since, after which
time, and especially within the past few
weeks, he seemed to have no mind
at all, and was perfectly worthless
as workman, and his actions plainly indi.
Gated insanity. The jury consequently re-
turned verdict Of not guilty of the larceny,
and set him free again. Some disposition
should be made of him, however, as is pro-
vided for other insane persons.
Dol seems to have also a mania for trying
to escape from custody. He gave the officer
a sharp race at his first arrest, and yesterday,
after being brought to the Court House, Dol
jumped out of the window and ran, jump
ing over the fence and spraining his ankle,
after which he was caught, and has to go on

Convention.

WORCESTER, Mass, October s.
The NJ ,ssacbusetts Democratic Con
vention was called to order at 11:25
this No. Jonas H French, chair
man of the State Central Committee,
was greeted with cheers on his ap-
pearance on his platform. He ad-
dressed the convention at some
length. E..
Colonel French spoke feelingly of
President Garfield, who, he said,
belonged to the whole people, and
whose death binds them in close
fellowship. At the conclusion of his
remarks, he was called by the con-
vention to act as temporary chair
man. The usual committee were ap-
pointed, and Jarvis N. Demhan, of
Springfield, was elected permanent
chairman, and the organization of
the convention was otherwise COM
pleted.
Reuben Noble nominated Hon. G..
P. Thompson, of Glancester, for Gov
ernor, which was carried by acclama
ton. Col. French said Alpha
Thompson bad Withdrawn as can
didate for Lieutenant-Go Governor, and
in his place he nominated j. H.
Carleton, OF Haverhill. Mr.. Carleton
was then nominated for Lieutenant
Governor with a few dissenting
voices. A committee was appointed
to nomin4te the balance of the State
ticket and the convention took re-
cess for one hour.
The committee on nominations re-
ported for Secretary of State, Gen.
Michael T. Donahoe, of Somerville
Treasurer and Receiver General, Col.
Francis j. Parker, of Newton; Audi
tor, Chas. R. Field, of Greenfield
Attorney General, Gen. Patrick A.
Collins, Of Boston.
The report was accepted and unani-
mously adopted.
The committee on resolutions re-
ported o platform, in which, after
avowing the constant faith of the
party in the expediency and right of
democracy in the government, "as
expounded by its great teachers"
and declaring the Union indestructi~
be, save by successful revolution or
common consent, assert that the con-
servative principles of the Democracy
are demanded at the present time to
resist the insidious encroachments of
arlstocratic tendencies and the effects
OF organized avarice and ambition.

WASHINGTON.
News From the National Capital
as Received Yesterday.


WASHINGTON, D. c., October s.
Captain Howgate was brought before
Commissioner Bundy to day, charged
with with embezzlement of $4,000
from the United States. He was at.
tended by counsel. Bail was fixed at
$4,000. failing to procure which, he
was sent to Jail. Later in the day
his counsel procured writ of habeas
corpus returnable before Judge Cox,
of the Criminal Court, Friday.
Messrs. Winstead and Tuck, of
Greenville, S. G., recently indicted
for defrauding the revenue, appealed
to Commissioner Raum through their
attorney few days since for a com
promise. Tne Commits -ioner inform
ed the attorney that if his clients
would pay the United States Gov
ernment $4,000 and costs and plead
guilty he (the COMMISSIONER would
recommend a suspension of their
sentences. This proposition was
unsatisfactory and consequently de-
clined. Since then the persons in-
dicted have forfeited their bail and
escaped to parts unknown. Com
missioner Raum to day offered re-
wards of $3.50 each for their arrest.
In the Criminal Court this morn
ing, the Star route cases were called,
and Judge Cox announced the af-
fixed bail for Brady aud Brown at
$500 each, and Turner and Finch,
clerks, at $4,000, which was given.
The expected motion of the counsel
for the defendants to quash the in
formation, was not fled to-day, but
! probably will be tomorrow. 1t was
agreed that two days notice be given
before any motion in the case be
argued.
The fund for Mrs. Garfield now
reaches 1886, l12 16; the sum OF
! S191.75 additional has also been re-
ceived for the mother of the late
President.
TREpAED, N Y, October AT the
opening of Monmouth County court,
Judge Scudder, of the supreme
court, detailed to the grand jury the
steps to be taken by the New Jersey
authorities in regard to the punish>
ment of Guiteau for the murder OF
President Garfield. He said, in view
of the statement of the Washington
district attorney, that the laws of the
District were adequate to meet the
case, it would not be advisable Oh
necessary for the grand jury Of Mon
mouth County lin which Long Brancl
is situated) to take any action al
present, unless notification is giver
that the prosecution and indictment
of the offense in this county are re
quired to prevent the failure of jus
tice, which does not now appear
probable, according to the statemen
made by the proper legal authorit,
of the city of Washington.

DR.. Bliss Makes Another Publ

The Star Reuters Admitted to
Bail by Judge Cox.
DR.. Bliss History Of President
Garf1eld's Case.


New YORK, October 5.-"rhe re-
port of the case of President Gar
field" by DR.. Bliss, published in the
forthcoming number OF the Medical
Record, occupies over six pages Of
that journal. He concludes his his
tory of the case as follows: I desire
to say in brief the review of leading
facts as to the general conduct of
the case that it has been apparent to
the medical reader thai my prognosis
was favorable, and notwithstaud udlng
mutations, I argued a successful
termination. 1t is but justice
to myself to state that
my prognosis was based on
the lesion of minor Importance.
Had our diagnosis been correct,
modern surgery should have con-
Quoted the case to successful ter
mination. I believe the medical pro
fession whom 1 address will bear me
out that the prognosis was correct. l
was not always able during the pro-
gress of the case to account for many
of the mole profound symptoms, and
yet cou d not succeed In leaning of
any more extensive or complicated
lesion than those at first expected.
He makes inquiry of the profession
whether more extensive explorations
could have been safely made, or
whether the condition presented a
knowledge of the relative position Of
the patient to the assassin, the char"
acter of the missile and condition of
lesion, and symptoms which follow,
would have directed investigation to
ward the actual track and Iodgment
of the ball; also, whether any known
instrument, or means of exploration,
has ever been presented to the pro>
fession, capable of tracing, before the
death of said patient, the course
of this bullet; also, whether
the conditions could have been
improved, or mitigated, OF
his life preserved longer by any
other line Of treatment.
DR.. G. F. Shrady, surgeon to the
Presbyterian and st. Frances hos
pita's in this city, says in an article
Oh the case, that from careful study
Of the symptons in connection witt
the examination of the autopica
lesion, the conclusion seems inevita
5 bic that the case was one which
commencing as milder form o
septicemia, gradually developed int
graver metastatic variety, or tha
generally understood as chronic
pyamia.
DR.. F. E. Weisse. professor o
: surgical anatomy in the Universit,
of New York, closes b s review will
the statement that there wer
< sufficient grounds to warrant th'
=. diagnosis that was arrived at ant
> maintained up to the time of tn
? death of the patient, especially SO il
the absence Of any evidence that tn
a ball had taken different course.

SwEETWATER FAIR.
A Fine Exhibition of Good Stock.
Some Interesting Races Yesterday

Some Interesting Races Yesterday.
Special Dispatch to the Chronicle.
The exposition building presented very
attractive appearance this morning, especial
ly the ladies department which was filled
with variety of canned fruits, jellies, quilts,
counterpanes, and every description of fancy
articles, displaying skill, good taste and ca
pacity on the part of the fair exhibitors.
The exhibit shows that the Sweetwater
valley abounds in good mothers and good
wives, and young men hunting good wives
could not do better than to come this way.
At half past nine o'clock this morning
there was general parade of fine stock and
finer display has never perhaps been wit
messed in East Tennessee Over eighty
animals, including horses, mules, &c, were
led around the track in procession, headed
by the cornet band, and among them were
many animals remarkable for their beauty.
One of the prettiest of the lot, perhaps
was Riley Miranville's four year old mare,
from Blount County, and she was the SUBJ
ject of general remark. A number of fine
| stations were noted, among them the
celebrated Vanderbilt. There are some fine
race horses here, ready for the speed-ring,
and we expect to see some good time made.
| The exhibition of stock commenced this
large number as we'll as variety of fine
stock. In cattle, the Short-horns, Jerseys
and Devons, all thoroughbred, are we'll
represented. We notice also some fine
Angora goats, Merino, Cotswold and South
down sheep. The number of hogs on ex-
hibition is not very large, but they make
up in quality what the lack in numbers.
Some of them are large fine fellows and
looks as if they would make large guam
| tity of good bacon. We wo uld like to go
into particulars and mention the names OF
exhibitors, but have been requested by the
| officers Of the association to wait until to-
morrow before mentioning the winners OF
premiums.
| At about o'clock this afternoon the
racing for the day::commenced, and attract.
ed much attention. The first one on the
programme was dash of one mile by three
year olds. There were only three entries,
and but two of these started. "Lottie vii
| son." sired by Helmet" dam, Virginia, ;,
owned by r. s. Wilson, took the inside.
"Chota," mahogany bay stallion, sired by
Helmet" dam Lady Hilder," and owned
by J. r. Jones, took the outside. The race
was nearly even for the first thee-quarters
of a mile, but ''Chota" gained as they
neared the end and came out three lengths
ahead-Time 1.57.
The pacing race Of one mile came off
next. "Bob Taylor" owned by J. F..
Woods, after rather amusing race, came
out ahead, G. F. McInturff's Frank being
second. A single-foot race of one mile was
the last on the programme for the day.
''Charlie McGhee," owned by ]. R. Jones'
won the race; Jennie" owned by Dick
Griffith, coming in second, while R. S. Will
sons kate" brought up the rear.
