CRUELTY TO AN IMBECILE.
A Father Keeps His SON ChnIued Like
Beast for Sixteen Years.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.I
FRANKLIN, August 20.-Dr. II. NJ. Witherill,
Secretary of the State Board of Lunacy, accom-
panied by II. n Culp. Superintendent of the
Venango county poor farm, last evening went
out into Canal township to investigate case of
alleged cruelty to a lunatic, the son of Henry
Young. a weli-to-do German farmer. The sight
that greeted them on their arrival at the Young
homestead is almost beyond belief. In a small
room on the second floor they found Young's
son, man of Is years, chained to the wall. A
staple was driven into the wall, to which was
attached a chain, the other end of which passed
through ring attached to a belt that encircled
the body of the lunatic.
Young admitted to DR.. Witherin that the
young man had been chained in the room in the
manner described for 16 years. The imbecile's
body was clothed in what was once a calico
dress. but now is nothing more than a dirty rag
His body was filthy in the extreme and was evi-
IDENTIFY stranger to water, while his long hair
was matted together, giving him terrible ap-
pearance. The room was dirty and devoid Of
furniture, with the exception of an old lounge
on which the boy was allowed to sleep.
DR.. Witherin went before Judge Taylor and
has had a writ sworn out for the imbecileis re-
moval to the Warren Insane Asylum, a proceed
ing that almost threw the old man into a spasm
when he was informed that he would have to
bear the expense of keeping him there.

DISPUTE OVER A DRAW,

Ohio Commissioners and the Government
Have n Different Opinion.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.i
EVANSVILLE, August 2O.-Colonel W. E
Merrill was in the city to-day, and has served
notice on the County Commissioners of Mus
kngum county from the Secretary of War or
dering them to place draw in the Taylorsville
bridge across the Muskingum river. They will
decline to do SO. There is a draw in the bridge
already, but It spans a long canal. A new lock
has been built and the canal has been aban-
doned, thus requiring the construction of a
new draw. 1t is claimed on one hand that the
general government and on the other that the
county, should bear the expense of the change.
