The Stories of Alleged Inhumanity and
 Outrages at the Institution.
 Among those present at the state prison committee meeting yesterday was J. M Plum, a young man who spent six years at the Wethersfield prison. He was sent up when eighteen years old for highway robbery, and while in the prison acted as an assistant in the hospital.
 "The World has not begun to tell the horrors of the Wethersfield prison" !" said he. "In the six years I spent there saw things which I did not believe it possible could exist in any civilized Ecommunity. It was the usual thing at this place when I was there for sick man to be confined to the dungeons i'm stead of being sent to the hospital When man was sick and would re- main in his cell the deputy warden, on his rounds, would see him and at once order him out. If the man could not get up he was considered obstreperous and was promptly ordered to the dun geon. I spent seven days in one of those dungeons because contraband articles were found in my possession. l have rheumatism now from that ex- perience."
 Two years ago William Harrington was sent up from Bridgeport for two years for stealing. He was a well-to- do, robust hackman. He came back a physical wreck. The stories he tells of his sufferings are in keeping with those published by the World. John Beck of Bridgeport was sent ur some years ago for burglary. After he served his term he came back a mere shadow of his former self. He is in business in Bridgeport, but is in very bad health. He also tells of the hard ships he endured.
 Charles SwInck and Jake Brown are still in Wethersfield from Bridgeport Those of their friends who have been permitted to see them are told by these convicts that they have suffered i'll treatment, but dare not complain fol fear of worse treatment.

Queer Relation Between the Stock and
 Debenture. Ht
 Rights" of the New York, New Ha- ven & Hartford road sold yesterday at 154, making the cost of a debenture of $1O0 trifle less than $40. In ten years this will be convertible into share of stock of the road. Ten years interest at per cent on the cost would be $70 The ten years interest that it will yield at per cent on par will be $40o Add the $50 difference to the first cost and investment, if, at the end of ten years, the stock is worth $170. To-day it is worth 225 to 230. Either the stock must fall heavily or else the ;ieben- lures are very cheap. It is a case of mathematics.

Texarkana is again enlivened by
the presence of a number of her fair
students, who have been seeking
knowledge at distant points during
the past year. AS it is so good to
have these fair maidens with us dur
ing a small portion of the year, why
not keep them here during the entire
period and educate them at home?
If our local educational Institutions are
unequal to the task, which we doubt,
let our citizens see toit, that they are
improved and enlarged, both in capac-
ity and excellence. Texarkana has
already one well equipped college and
might easily have another, If needed
or desired. There are few subjects of
greater general Importance to COM
munity than that of superior educa-
tional excellence in local institutions
of learning and the attendant advan-
tages of home training and teaching.
