The little town of Wilton, six-miles from Norwalk, furnishes a tale that is almost beyond credence, but as the State Humane Agent has taken cogni- zance of-the matter and caused the, 'fiend’s arrest there is little doubt but what the facts are as reported. ., . _ About two months since Benjamin Drappo, a French Canadian, wedded a woman in Wilton who had a child some nineteen months of age, and while ap- parently caring for the woman he took a strong dislike to the child and seemed to enjoy the greatest pleasure in work- ing himself into a terrible rage and abusing it. . It is told by the ofiicers that recently while in a rage Drappo took the little babe and placed it upon a hot stove burning its flesh and leaving scars that the child will bear to its grave. As the little one yelled from the terrible pain Drappo would laugh With ghoulish glee at its agonizing screams. At another time, as is alleged,and went to the little one and. picking it up as it lay nearly naked in its cradle, he with a devilish pretense of fondling and loving it, he bit it on the face and body until the child was covered with blood. At sight of the-blood and the sufferings of the babe Drappo seemed to take fiendish delight and would laugh until the tears coursed down his cheeks. These acts of barbarism were kept up until the neighbors who had been annoyed by the child’s screams began an investigation. It was then learned what was going on and complaint was at once made to the authorities. On Tuesday State Agent Thrall and Constable Morehouse visited Wilton and after an investigation of these stories decided that there was sufficient evidence to convict the fiend, and ar- rested Drappo. The latter was found‘ at work chopping wood and offered no resistance When placed under arrest. He was taken before a Wilton justice , and failing to procure bonds to the amount of $300 was remanded to the custody of Constable Morehouse and brought to the lockup in this city and placed behind iron bars, where he wrll remain until today when he will again be taken before the Wilton justice for trial. At the time of Drappo’s arrest he had removed his wife and the child to Bridgeport where he had made prepar- ation to join them and get out of Wil- ton. He had been emplo ed by Mrs. rank Brady to work her ilton farm, but owing to his abuse .of the child Mrs. Brady had given him notice to leave. Friends of the prisoner on Wednes— day made an effort to engage Cit At- torney E. M. Locdwood to defen him at his trial on. Friday , but after making inquiries and learning the facts in the case Mr. Lockwood declined to act as his counsel, for which action he do- serves great commendation. As the Superior Court will not hear the case before next September it is probable that Humane Agent Thrall will have the child photographed in order that a jury may see what condi- tion it was in at the time of Drappo’s arrest. If one half of the acts of cruelty to the child charged against Drappo be true, he is deserving of a long term in states prison preceded bya thorough thrashing at the whipping post. “Wu—4+ G. A. R.

The recovery from disease of Charles Homan and wife looked upon as a. modern 'mlracle-i-As heipless as a child from inflam- matory Rheumatism———Charles Homan restored to health by a simple remedy-~Others use it with success--Physicians every— where prescribing it. BIVERHEAD, LONG ISLAND, N. Y.— Public opinion is always worth heed- ing, and public opinion in this village has not made a mistake in the exalted position it has placed Dr. David Ken~ nedy’s Favorite Remedy. The family of Charles Homan of this place in- creases the list of residents who have been benefitted by its use. Favorite Remedy was first introduced’ in the family by Mrs. Homan, who has been afiiicted for years with an‘ awful pain in her back, occasioned by chron- ic ksdney Complaint; at times she suf- fered so that she was unable to lie down, sleep was impossible, and she walked about with much difficulty. Physicians prescribed various medi- cines, but to no purpose. earning of the great good others had received from the use of Dr. Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy, she purchased a. bottle and began to use it with the most satisfac- tory result. To use Mrs. Homan’s own words, “It saved my life; why, it’s worth its weight in gold. I knew of over twenty people who have taken Dr. David Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy, and in every case it has benefitted them. My sister, Mrs. Loomis, suffered from creeping paralysis; began to take it, and it did her a world of good. Three years ago my husband was suffering dreadfully from inflammatory rheuma- tism; both feet and hands were swollen to enormous size; had pains in his back and head; for one whole year he was such an awful isufferer that my neigh- bors expected to hear of his death any day. Four physicians prescribed all sorts of medicines, but he kept grow- ing worse. He wasted away from 200 to 130 pounds. Finally, he began to use Dr. Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy. and in a short while he could sleep and eat well, and today he is as well as ever in his life. The two druggists in this place say they sell it so fast they can'- not keep it in stock.” Other Riverhead people who have been benefitted by Favorite Remedy are George Benjamin and wife, Lyman and George L’Hom- medieu, Benjamin Adams and John Pugsley. - In speaking to one of our physicians about Favorite Remedy, he said : “Its great value lies in the fact that it dissolves the excess of uric acid in the blood, thus curing the disease." Dr. David Kennedy’s Favorite Rem- edy is a never-failing specific in di- seases of the skin, liver, kidneys and blood. It restores the disordered liver to a healthy condition, corrects the worst cases of constipation, it is a cer. tain cure for the diseases and weak- nesses peculiar to women. It cures scrofula, salt rheum and erysipelas. For nervousness, loss of sleep, or that worn out feeling. it has no equal. In cases of rheumatism. dyspepsia, gravel, Bright’s disease, diabetes and bladder troubles, it has cured where all else failed. Dr. David Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy is sold by all dealers, at $1 a bottle, or six bottles for $5. on WEEK. —"\ ONE COUPON AND . ran cams 1 Will ‘ Get !. Any !
