PEASANTS RESIST
 EYICTING POLICE
An All Night Fight in Limerick Town in
 Which "PeeIers'' are Driven off.

Dublin, Jan. 29.-The village of Kill finan, County of Limerick, is today in the hands of an army of rioting peas ants who, after a night of fighting with the police, finally drove the latter to the shelter of their barracks. A heavy detail of constabulary has been sent to the town to suppress the riot.
 The trouble started last evening when an effort was made to evict peasants. The peasants barricaded themselves in their house and drove the police away by throwing boiling water on them. The police retired to await reinforce ments. In the meantime the peasants throughout the entire district flocked to the aid of the besieged tenants. An other clash took place when the police returned. A second time the police sought endorsements but the peasants with sticks and stones drove them to their barracks. The fight lasted all night and many persons were injured.
 The peasants in the Kilfinan district are in desperate state. They pro- tested to the landlords against eviction but their appeals have gone unheeded. Now the peasants propose to fight for shelter and food.

SERMON WAS GOOD BUT LONG
Installation of Faster Recalls Story of Former Bridgeport Divine and Come. dore Vanderbilt.

The installation of Dr. Richardson at the First Presbyterian church, last night, brought out an old story of the first pastor of the church. Dr. Hewitt. who was one of the old fashioned preachers and believed in giving his congregat ton their moneys worth in his sermons. He was noted for the length of his dfscourses. which always passed through series of firstlies secondlies and so on indefinitely.
 Capt. Brooks, who afterwards left large part of his estate to the church, was then in the employ of Commodore Vanderbilt as captain of one of his steamers.
 Capt. Brooks often told the Commo- dore of the wonderful pres cher who occupied the pulpit of the church up in Bridgeport. The Commodore was fin- ally induced to come up and listen to sermon. Dr. Hewitt preached for an hour and half When the discourse was finally ended. and the Commodore was well outside. he was asked how he liked the sermon. 'Very much" said the Commodore. "only I wish I could hear the rest of it.''

A beautiful and talented woman to- day told Judge Gager in the superior court tale of domestic infelicity the like of which has not often been re- vealed in the court of this county. She was Caroline Lawrence Jarvis prior to her marriage in New York on April 20, 1897. to Albert Mortimer Haines. Her father is John A. Jarvis. wealthy manufacturer of New York city with a residence in Darien. Mrs. Haines was allowed a divorce and granted the cus- tody of her two children. Marion. aged Il, and Mary, aged g. The court de- clined to allow change of name be- cause of the rule in vogue here that where children are an issue Tn divorce the fathers name is retained.
 It would appear from the testimony of the plaintiff which was supported by that of her father and others that Haines was a confirmed drunkard. The plaintiff said he drank when she mar ried him and thereafter he was slave to drink.
 He never contributed toward her support she said and she was depen- dent upon her father for the care ana maintenance of herself and children. She had made her home with her -fath- CT since 1900. Her husband lost every job he ever had through drink she said and despite all that was said or done

he continued in his habits. When they were married he had q bright future, being associated with his father in business in New York. His craze for drink was responsible for the failure of his fathers business and then her father bought business and set him up in it. He did no bet ter. It was always drink. Finally the business suffered so through hif neglect that her father discontinued it and she took her children and went tu the home of her father to live. There she has been ever since.
 She recited the number of excellent positions her husband held, all of which he lost through drink. She last heard of him in Manchester, N. H., where he was arrested and sent to jail for passing forged checks.
 Her father John A. Jarvis corrobo- rated the testimony of his daughter. He said he did everything he could to have his daughters husband straight en up. He gave him start in busi- ness and paid a number of debts he contracted in hotels throughout the country.
 He paid for his care three times at an institution for those addicted to drink, but each time he drank fully as much as before. He said he run LID debts that the witness paid because the debts were contracted with custom
