UNWELCOME GUEST IN JAIL INSANE:
 TAKEN TO RETREAT

Threatening to boycott the county jaI in future unless their demand was granted, all the prisoners at that in stitution went on strike this moi ming, Fairfield, one of their number, should be removed from the jail and placed in some more suitable place.
 After a consultation of the jail of ficials it was decided that the guests had made a good point, for Remondski made so much noise at night that oth- CTS in the jail had great difficulty in sleeping.
 and Dr. D. M. Trevartin were ca led tits morning. examined Remondsk1, found him very much insane, and had him committed to the asylum at Mid dletown upon an order from Judge William s. Case.
 Remondski was taken to the State institution today by Charities Inves- tigator Alex MorrfsSey, who was well prepared for a tussIe because of the previous reputation of his prisoner.
 Since his incarceration in jail on a binding over process from Fairfield, two weeks ago, Remondski has made life miserable at the county hostelry. He has been exceedingly destructive, and exhibited great strength, tearing up his iron cot, breaking everything in his cell he could lay his hands on, and making all the noise possible at all Hines.
 When he had broken everything DTSahdD Die III HIS Cell AAO tdAtON to specialize on noise. Time after time the jail officials searched his room and cleaned it out as thoroughly as possible, but always Remondsli. with demoniacal Ingenuity, would dis cover something new to break, or a new way of making a fiendish racket.
 Last night he discovered an old lock one one of his bars and invented method of running it up and down the bars making noise like the nine Hves of a pussy cat entering into purga- tory. That was the last straw and the jail officials hRstened this morn ing to get rid of their unwelcome guest.
 Remondski was bound over for steal ing thirty chickens from O. G. JeR- rings the millionaire owner of the famous Jennings Castle in Fairfield. Amongst the chickens were a number of very valuable prize winners, all of which were killed by Remondskf.

.'I don't think I'm asking too much to see my own flesh and blood two weeks in a year and I don't think you're much of a lawyer to say so, exclaimed Annie Reilly Pitcher as she glared at Attorney Powell of Stam- ford in the superior court this morn ing. Annie was the defendant in a divorce suit brought by Ernest Pitcher of Stamford and she was making a fight to be allowed the custody of her child for a part of each year.
 Pitcher objected to allowing his wife any privileges and the wife had a bad time when she was cross ex- amined by Attorney Powell. The lawyer asked Mrs. Pitcher if her con duct had been above reproach since she left Stamford and went to live in New York. The witness said it had. Then she was asked if she hadn't been named as correspondent in a divorce suit. Mrs. Filcher said RowelI started to tell the court that he could bring witness but Mrs. Pil cher interrupted by saying, And 1 can bring witnesses, too. She would htve said more but Judge Case re- marked, That will do Madam, sit
 Judge Case declared he would re- custody but he granted Pitcher q divorce on the ground of infidelity.

here that on account OF his loyaity
to Governor Wilson, a remnant OF
the Smith-Nugent faction In the
Fifth District is trying to persuade
General Meaney to make the hghb

All the present Democratic con-

for further service in Washington.
Outside of the mention OF General
Meaney's name against Mr.. TuJtle,
and reports OF considerable opposi-

reports from New Jersey at present
to seriously worry the Democratic

however, that opposition will develop
against Representatives Mccoy and
Townsend In Essex county ecaus
OF their alignment with the Smith
Nugent faction.

George s. LaMonte, of Bound Brook.
The latter is an avowed a~spirant for
the Democratic congre ssional nomf-
nation In THAT district.
Former Senator oliver Brown, Of
Monmouth county. is expected to

Thomas w. Scully to succeed himself.
Randolph Perkins, who served
two terms as a member of the New
