MRS. FELTRAPPIE SENT
TO AN INSANE ASYLUM
Found Not Guilty of Child Murder by
Reason of Insa nifty.

Middletown, Conn, Dec. 20.-Mrs
Antoinette Feltrappie of Etllingworth
was presented before the superior
court today and pleaded not guilty o.
manslaughter in the killing of her
child The jury was instructed to
bring in a verdict of not guilty by rea-
son of insanity. Mrs. Feltrappie was
then sentenced to the insane hospital
for three years by Judge Shumway.
Mrs. Feltrappie's home IN Killing
worth was burned down last March.
She was found at q neighbours. but her
four-year- child Martha was miss
ing. A search of the embers disclosed
bones which were later determined to
be those of a child. 1t was thought
that Mrs. F'eItrappie wanted to re-
turn to Germany and for this reason
set fire to the house with the idea that
her husband. by losing his property,
would let her return. Later, il was
the opinion of medical men that the
woman was mentally unbalanced. She
had been under observation since last
spring. Once Mrs. Feltrappie told of
killing her child by wringtng its neck,
but the authorities have never definite
" determined just how the child met
it's death, although the opinion was
held that it was killed before the house
was set afire.
Walter ChappelIe pleaded guilty to
injuring trees at Essex and was Civ
en- one week in the county Jail. His
brother Stephen pleaded not guilty to
abuse of a female child yesterday. but
today changed his plea. and was SEN
fenced to state prison for not less than
one year nor more than ten.

STEEL MILLS HAVE
MANY ORDERS AHEAD.
Enough to Keep Them Busy for First
Half of 1912.

New York, Dec. 20.-From an au-
thoritative source it was learned today
that the likelihood Of any further adj
vance in prices by the United States
Steel corporation is rather remote. In
TO event is it probable that any change
in the existing schedule will be made
before the new year.
The presidents of the steel subsidf-
aries adjourned their monthly meeting
in this city today after a two days
session, during which special attention
was devoted 10 handling business for
the incoming year. With scarcely an
exception the heads of these companies
reported that orders now on hand are
sufficient 70 keep their mills busy for
the first half of 1912. 1t is understood
that Chairman Gary and other infiuen-
tiaI members of the corporation adVis-
ed against any Immediate advance of
prices. although such action was
strongly urged by some subsidiary
presidents.

1t was originally planned that Canal
street was not to be closed to public
travel, while the grade crossing was
being eliminated in connection with
the railroad improvements. but that a
temporary roadway would be substitute
ed SO that traffic would not be incOn-
venienced. After careful consideration
of the whole matter it was made plain
that there would be an element of dan
ger that could not be avoided by the
use of the improvised highway and
the project has been abandoned. This
action will be of mutual benefit to the
public and the New York, New Ha-
ven & Hartford Railroad Co.
Therefore before long Canal street
will be closed in the section where the
work is in progress, but no longer
than is absolutely necessary. During
that traffic in that section of the town
will be diverted to the West and High
street bridges and their nearness to
Canal street will reduce the public
Inconvenience TO the minimum.

A case of chickenpox mas started a
smallpox scare in the White Rock sec
ton Of the town of Westerly. Two
weeks ago, Mrs. Mary Mahow. mill
operative came from the smallpox in
fected district of Warwick Soon aft
er her arrival she was taken sick; the
attendant pains indicated smallpox but
there was no sign of RASH
DR.. J. L. May decided that although
there were suspicious sympatoms,
smallpox had not developed In few
days the pains disappeared and the
woman was apparently restored to
health.
Wednesday evening there was the
appearance OF a rash. DIR. May was
called and diagnosed the case as chick
enpox; but TO allay excitement, Health
officer Lewis Stanton placed the pa
tient under strict quarantine
At DR.. Mays request, Dr. ]. Howard
Morgan was called and his opinion Of
the case agreed perfectly with that of
Dr- May, his diagnosis also being
chickenpox.

is in the jail at Kingston, in default
OF bail, to answer on January 1 to
the charge of assault, While the eX-
pectant bride is at the home of her
uncle in Peace Dale. The assault is
based on Antonio forcing Andonetta
lie Pe1Fo into an automobile ana Inen
speeding on to Providence to get mar
ried. The accused and the chauffeur
declare that once in the automobile
Andronetta was a willing victim, her
only objection being that she was in
her working clothes and not becoming
~ dressed for a bride. But when An
tonic assured her that a bridal out
fft would be provided in Providence
she was satisfied to make the elope-
ment complete.
Tuesday Antonio met Andonetta
with a girl friend on their way to work
and he forced Andonetta into the au-
tOnobile and sped away. The girl
companion went with all speed to the
home of Andonetta's uncle. with whom
she resided, and told what had hap
pened- The uncle appealed to Sheriff
Wilcox to bring back his niece, and
the sheriff was in telephone communi-
cation with the Providence police in
short order. The clippers were taken
into custody a few minutes after they
were within the limits of Providence,
and held for Sheriff Wilcox who re-
turned with them to Peace Dale.
Antonio. age 20, and Andonetta, IS,
came from the same place in Italy.
Antonio has been in the country about
five years; Andonetta arrived about a
year ago and made her home with an
uncle, her parents remaining IN their
native land. Although friendly with
another young man, Andonetta now
declares that she loves Antonio the
best, and regrets that he is in a prison
cell just because he was little force
