Special trt The Times. 1 Buffalo, Sept.

22. Czolgosz, whose trial begins tomorrow, was subjected to a thorough examination by insanity experts today. While this was going on District Attorney Penney received report from City Chemist Hill, which explodes the poisoned bullet theory. Dr. Allen McLane Hamilton, of New York, an alienist of reputation, arrived this morning, presumably on the summons of the district attorney.

Dr. McDonald, of New York, who had been brought to Buffalo by the Erie County Bar Association, and Dr. Hurd, Superintendent'1 of the Buffalo State Hospital for Insane, made a careful examination of Czolgosz this afternoon and afterwards discussed the case with Dr. Hamilton, the district attorney and several other physicians. Ail the doctors declined to be quoted as to their findings, but authorized, the statement, as a whole, that all the specialists who had examined the prisoner considered him sane.

City Chemist Hill's report was handed to Distinct Attorney Penney this afternoon. Hill said the "bacteriological and chemical investigation disclosed no poison on either bullets, cartridges or revolver." ALHAMBRA CAUGHT.

At a public meeting, attended by over 1,000 persons, last evening, Rev. Silas C. Swallow, or this city, was bitterly assailed for an attack on the late President McKinley in the editorial columns of a recent Issue of the Pennsylvania Methodist. The meeting was a quiet and dignified gathering and was under the auspices of the McKinley Veteran Patriotic League, of Dauphin county, composed of veterans of the Civil and Spanish American wars and their sons, embracing a membership of more than 900. Resolutions offered by Major Isaac B.

Brown, Deputy Secretary of Internal Affairs, were adopted without a dissenting vote. The resolutions follow in part: VVliorena (Ins Silas C. Swallow, a citizen of Harrishurg, claiming to be a minister of a fervently rel'gious church distinguished for its patriotism and loyalty, has in the most brutal manner assailed President McKinley in the discharge of his duties, and with defamatory and outrageous falsehoods assaulted him as he was approaching the portals of death, through the fata) shot fired by an assassin; and, "Whereas, This Silas C.

"Resolved, Tnat tnis assemuiuge, rou vcnoii nniipr thp fliisniees of the McKin ley Veteran Patriotic League, denounce Silas C. Swallow as one unui iu cuju the blessings of American citizenship, as one who should be shunned by true patriots and lovers cf this heaven blessed country. "Resolved, That we call upon Con onit th ee ihlatures of the sev eral states, in their respective spheres, to enact such laws as win iree ine iauu from anarchists, their devotees, and such hypocritical characters as Silas C.

Wellington Van Reed, chairman of the committee on grounds, will look after the repairs and Improvements in progress, and George M. Krick, chairman of the committee on room, will have a force at work putting the buildings in proper shape and attending to the decorations. Mr. Krick will be on hand every day this week, so that business men tlesiring to make uiKttc noil nnnn him nt the fair ground, select their places and make all necessary arrangements. Much space has already been allotted and it is expected that in a few days all will have been taken.

The track record, 2.10V, is held by "Rocky a horse that created a sensation in this section of the state several years ago, by capturin" a number of races.

Many panes of glass in the buildings were broken and had to be replaced. ine panes were wibrm uj in indulging in the pastime of throwing i iho rtntiitrv house nearlv all the wooden rods of the coops were either stolen or DroKen, ana wire neiuns now take the place. Doors at the horse stables were torn off, and holes were cut in a number or siaoies so mui inch and boys could crawl through from the outside. The doors of the offices presi dent treasurers ami ciicnj were tampered with and wooden plugs were driven into the key holes and broken off, so that the doors could not be unlocked. Many other acts of a similar character were perpetrated.

The grounds have been greatly Improved by the attention recently given to the shade trees. The lower limbs have been cut off, and tt Is now possible to drive under the trees with a wagon. There Is also a good view through the avenues between the trees. The trees are in fine foliage, not having been disturbed by caterpillars, which almost everywhere else have been so destructive. The grass on the grounds has been cut, and a lawn mower will be run over the portion near the entrance gates, so that the grass by the time of the fair will be like a carpet of emerald green.

Some carloads of machinery Intended for the fair are now on the way from manufactories in New England and New York, and will reach the grounds by the latter part of the week. The fitting up of the "Midway" will be commenced in a few days. Ten large shows have been secured, comprising a great variety of amusements. A pop corn wagon arrived on Saturday, and the owners have already started up, with the expectation of selling packages of their fragrant product to visitors to the grounds this week. The fair ground will be a scene of animation every day this week.

Two carloads of Belgian hares are coming. The owners expect to do a large business In selling hares to the farmers of Berks and adjoining counties. This is a new industry for agriculturists and is said be a very profitable one. There is a demand for the flesh of Belgian hares in the large cities, and their pelts bring a good price. Arrangements have been made to send for goods in this city if the entries are made this week at the office of the fair, 33 North Sixth street.
