SCADD[N-LAWLOR CASE
Arguments Finished And Given
 to the Jury This Afternoon
Case Against Boys Was Then Called The Selection of Jury Was Un- der Way at Press Hour.

The evidence in the LaWlor- Scadden case was all in yesterday afternoon. This case occupied the attention of jury and Judge George W. Wheeler fot ten days, or three court weeks, and is to set aside a deed of q house and q gift of Sl3,OOO to Thomas Scadden and his wife, given by Mrs Scadden's uncle, the late Michael McGivney, who lived on Railroad Hill street. The evidence closed in q rather startling manner. One of the witnesses for the plaintiff made a statement to the effect that the presumption of some people who come over nowadays is that they know it all, and those who have been born here know nothing. Attorney O'Neill seized this piece of evidence and made the witness repeat it several times in order to show the jury her animosity toward the defendants.
 In his argument this morning MT ONeiH took up this statement and threw it back upon the plaintiffs, say ing that for them it was nothing but picture hats, frrs, furbelows and more picture hats. Attorney Williams closed the arguments. The drift Of his argu- ment was that a man possessing so much of the worlds goods as MT Mc- Givney did and made such little use of them; who had so much actual cash as he had and toward the close of his life give it all away, leaving himself without a penny, would not have done so had he not been influenced by those who received it.
 The court room was crowded and many were standing. Scores
 there early, but they were too late to get a seat and went away disappointed They had come to hear the arguments which report had said would be dra- matic.
 The case went to the jury at 2:45.
 The trial of the nine young men, Charles Thorpe, Michael Ryan, Joseph Kelly, Stephen Ball, James Whitty. Thomas Kenney William Costello and Thomas and James Quinn. for con- spiracy to injrre the Connecticut Light ing and Power Go, and assault with intent to kill the trolleymen William F. Merna and George Morrissette, began at 3 o'clock. All pleaded not guilty. Attorney Hamilton was appointed guardian of all the accused, they being minors, and Attorney O'NeilI being un- able to recall which of them he was appointed guardian for by the city court.
 The court room was packed to it's ut most capacity and as much interest was shown as was manifested in the case of the eight trolley strikers.
 All of the jurors were polled and in every respect the routine that distin- guished and made the cases of the troll ley strikers long to be remembered in Waterbury. was gone through.
 The first juror polled was Herbert l.. Baldwin of Beacon Falls. He said he had no opinion on the case, nor did he think he had ever formed an opinion about labor unions and such organiza- tions. MT Baldwin was excused. Each of the accused has four challenges.

LABOR MEN AT BOSTON l
Federationists Have Lots of
 Business on Hand

Jurisdiction Disputes Take Up Much
 of Delegates Time-Some of the Men
 Anxious to Adjourn and Go Home.
 Others Trying to Get ill Committee
 Work.
 Boston, Nov 13.-There was some prospect when the delegates to the con Ventlon of the American Federation of Labor reasSembIed in Faneuil hall to- day that an early adjournment would be taken until to-morrow. This was on account of the fact that the various committees have had little opportunity to consider the resolutions which have been referred to them. Since the con- vention opened the sessions in the day have occupied all the time of the dele gates and the social arrangements made for them in the evening left lit tie opportunity to consider the matters given over to them. Yesterday many resolutions were disposed of and to- day few committees were ready to re port. President Gompers called the delegates to order at 3 o'clock.
 A motion was made at once that a
  slider the matter of state fedora tions, and another was offered that the con- stitution be amended to provide for a regular committee of this kind. These motions were unanimously adopted. A great deal of discussion and criti- cism followed from members of vari- ous committees on the subject of the work of the committee on distribution. It appeared that resolutions to the number of 2S1 had been offered to the convention. The criticism offered was that many of the resolutions had not been distributed to the proper com mittees. No action was taken
 Delegate John Mitchell asked to be relieved from serving on the commit tee on education. on account of numer- ous duties arising from his member ship on other committees. The re quest was granted and Joseph Valen- tine of California. vice president of the Iron and Brass Moulders' Information al union. was appointed instead.
 The question of Jurisdiction disputes between affiliated unions of the feder- alton was brought before the conven- tion by motion which was made that the committee to which all the dis putes had been referred be instructed to report by Tuesday morning. With an amendment that the committee re- port when ready, with the understand ing that their recommendation would take priority over all other matters the motion was adopted. A motion to adjourn was offered. but before the chair could put the question a score of delegates we're on their feet to make announcements relatiyesto committed meetings which were to take up the re mainder of the day. A motion also was offered that the federation extend it's good wishes for the success of the street railway men of. Chicago in their present strike and also expressing the hope that an early settlement in the struggle would be reached. This mo- ton was amended by instructfng the secretary to telegraph the action to the strikers at Chicago and was car ried unanimously without demand and with considerable applause.
 Adjournment until tomorrow was then taken.

TRIUMPH OF THE AIR SHIP.

Parisian Balloon, Under Full Com
 trol, Attains Great Speed.
 PARIS, Nov. 13.-One of the greatest triumphs of dirigible balloonlng was achieved here for the I1ebaudy broth CTS by pilot named Juchnaes, who in an hour and thirty-hve minutes GOV cred the forty-siSa miles separating Moisson and the Champ de Mars, Paris. The balloon attained an extraordina- rily high speed, going sometimes at the rate of two-thirds of a mile a minute, the mean speed being twenty nine miles an hour
 The Lebaudys had been preparing the balloon for the voyage for some time and were determined to exceed any per formance by Santos-D -Dumont.
 Only few persons witnessed the dt parture of the balloon from Moisson. It attracted the attention of the coun- trymen and people in the towns along the route, who stared at the strange spectacle.
 In fifteen minutes the balloon arrived at Mantes-sur- Seine, ten miles from Moisson. Observers there saw no evi- dence of difficulty in steering. At 20 the balloonists arrived at the Champ de Mars. The balloon was in excellent condition.
 When the balloon mounted at Mois- son a moderate breeze was blowing in the direction of Paris. Juchnaes said:
 ''We proceeded by way of Cherence, Vetheuil, Fontenay. St. Pere and Gar zenville. To avoid condensation we followed the southern boundary of Yer neuil forest and retrayersed the Seine an hour after our departure. We saw Poissy, passed the forest of St. Ger main and then Montesson, traversed the Bois de Boufogne and entered Paris above the Porte de Passy. The maxi mum altitude was 300 and the mean 100 meters"
 M. Lebaudy, who arrived on the scene after the balloon landed, said he was absolutely enchanted with the voyage"
