THE LAWLoR-sCADDEN CASE
Motion to Set Aside the Verdict
 Heard By Judge Wheeler To-Day.


 The motion to set aside the verdict in the case of Lawlor vs Scadden which was decided in the superior { court few weeks ago was heard by Judge Wheeler this morning. The case was brought on the grounds of undue influence and the motion this morning was based on the grounds that the verdict which was against the Scaddens. was against the evil dence. Attorney O'Neill, senior coun- sel for the Scaddens, argued at con- siderable length. He claimed the yer aict was a surprise to- everybody ac- auainted with the circumstances just AS the verdict in the case of John Galvin's and later the case of John Lawlor's will. MT O'Neill was warm ing up on this point when Judge Wheeler informed him he could not listen to him any longer if he contin ued in that strain. The court said he was going outside the case altogether The trend of his argument was that old man McGfvney, as he was called, knew that the Lawlors and the Me- Givneys had plenty and he wished to secure his poor relations. He was $ under no obligation to the McGfvneys or the Lawlors, whereas he was under every obligation to the Scadders and the others among whom he distributed his property.
 Attorney Williams replied that in $ all the evidence one statement stood out prominently and significantly and S that was the manner in which he seemed so anxious ! to distribute his property equally among his relatives in order to protect 1t from the lawyers. The yer S dict, he said, might be regarded as q compromise verdict, and in that case # must have been reached out of re- s gards for concessions to certain claims. Nevertheless the supreme % just verdict. It was not such shock as Mir O'Neill claimed nor was 1t S founded upon sentiment or prejudice.
 MT O'Neill in answer stated that M Mir Dorahue asked MT McGivney a short time before his death if he had # settled everything and the old man said he had MT O'Nei1I then asked the court if he thought MT Donahue perjured himself in making that state < ment. Tn MT Donahue's opinion MT NIcGivney at that time was mentally sound. Mir Donahue asked him if he had given anything to his br~smer's $ children, meaning the Lawlors, and the McGivneys and he said he had not because they had not used him right, 8and that if anything was left after his estate was settled un 1t was to go to Mrs Scadden, and that the others had enough. Decision was reserved

THREE WEEKS OLD CHILD.
Found in Mad River Near Dublin
 Street Late Saturday.

Saturday afternoon James Donahue and other boys while amusing them selves along the bank of the Mad river, near the Dublin street station, noticed a parcel in the water which at first sight looked like bundle of rags,bu upon closer inspection it turned out to be the body of three weeks old male child. The young sters called officer Noonans attention to the strange find, who reported the facts to Medical Examiner Crane. The medical examiner informed the cor ner of the situation and also commun- icated with the police department. It is not likely that the guilty parties will ever be known, so that about all society can do in the premises is reg ister its regret at the commission of such dark deed.

 The Cuban reciprocity bill is on the calendar as the unfinished business, but no speeches will be made on it until after the beginning of the regular ses- sion week from today.

REMEMBER FRIh DS IN EUROPE
Money Orders Will Reach the Other
 Side by Christmas Time.

Already people who have families in the old world are counting their sav- lngs with view to seeing how much they can afford to send away for the time. 1t Is Surprising now many men now living in Waterbury have wives and children in Europe. A large share of the Italian laborers pre- fer to maintain their families in their native country rather than here; but this feeling is dying out to some extent and for the past few years Italians who have made up their minds to re- side permanently i'll the United States have been bringing their families here with the result that there is q notlce- able increase in the number or chll- dren about town of that nationality who were born on the other side or the water. But the forwarding of money to the old country at Christmas time is not confined to any particular cass Of citizens, nor is It always an 1ndica- ton that the persons for whom 1t IS intended are in straightened c1rc,'m- stances.

SPORTING WORLD.

The 10-round fight between kid"
Fredericks and DUDE Lewis at the
Spokane Amateur Athletic club last
night was decided a draw by Referee
Max Karter. The decision was not
favorably received. The colored boy
was clearly outclassed during the en-
tire 10 rounds. the only one in which
he did any effective work being the
third, when, after being stopped in
a rush by left jolt on the nose, he
came back and landed a well deliver
ed left and right on the kids" head.
Lewis did all his fighting in the
first three rounds and during the bal
ance of the game had not the ghost
of show. His ability to stand body
punishment was all that saved a
Knockout. Fredericks played for the
body most of the time and some of
his short right hooks over Lewis
heart had the latter in a bad way
in the fifth, when he slipped to the
canvass and was helped up by the
kid" who was apparently confident
of the decision.
The kids" work was evenly d.
vided and only once. in third, did he
appear in a bad way from the jabs of
Lewis. During this round he avoided
Lewis swings by footwork. The
mixups which the fighters engaged
in more than once showed the negro
to be the stronger but the clever
ducking of Fredericks made a chance
knockout blow impossible. The poor
work of the referee was particularly
noticeable In the tenth, when the
kid" had Lewis groggy from cutting
left jabs.
The dude" made a good fight to
save himself and clinched repeatedly,
hanging to the white boy until part
ed by the referee.
During the entire game after miss
ing a swing from Lewis the referee
was wary and kept as far from the
fighters as possible. His work in
the tenth when he allowed the negro
TO hold on clearly saved the latter
from punishment If not a knockout.
While the spectators called for
Fredericks. Karter declared the match
draw to the evident displeasure
OF the crowd. The preliminaries were
excellent and kept the crowd in good
humor until the main event About
500 people saw the fight and the
principals divided go per cent of the

20, 900 PEOPLE.

Thomas Lynch, q miner who arr1v-

Of the coal strike in the East Koote-

THE miners have a long list Of
grievances. The companies have not
yet given their side of the story to
the public, but at present there is no
sign Of settlement.
There is no shipment Of fuel from
the East Kootenay mines, with the
result that the mines and smelters
are compelled to close. The North
port smelter and the Greenwood
Hmelter are shut down and the Mother
Lode mine has reduced its force. The
CRANKY smelter and the Sunset smelt-
er can not operate more than one
more week.

pie are beginning to feel the effects
of the strike. 1t is estimated that
about 10000 persons are either d.

when young Norman joined the
conference in Raleigh he showed the
true spirit of a Methodist preacher.
When asked where he wished to be
sent he answered, Send me where
there are sinners When the North
Carolina conference was formed, in
1886, he remained in the territory Of
this conference.
H was married in 1913 to Mary
Rucker, and for more than thirty
years they lived and worked together
and eXemplified the great WOrk that
can be done by a consecrated man
and his wife.
alfred Norman was a circuit
preacher; he was never q presiding
elder, and never a station preacher.
He was a true pastor, and his people
loved him n he had a big heart in
a healthy body. Genuine integrity
was the foundation of his character,
and simplicity, g~entleness and humil-
ity the marks of his life. He was
true to his own people and his own
country. He was a southern gentle
man Of the highest type. He was a
revivalist of great powers. His SER
mons were plain, practical. and at
times filled with overwhelming pow
er. He was a man Of tremendous
force n power. His wit, and sar-
casm could not be surpassed. He was
a man of intense nature. He was
impulsive, and at times excitab1e. In
his various fields he had a triumphant
ministry. In 1861 in the midst of his
labors, he was stricken with paralysis,
and he retired from active work. He
purchased a home in Caswell county,
and there with his wife and children
he spent the closing years of his
life. His wife, whom he loved de-
votedly, preceded him to heaven a
few weeks. In 1867 he resumed his
labors as az active worker for a
short time, but the end came on
August 20, 1878. 1t was said of the
early Methodist that they die Well
and this can truly be said of Alfred
Norman. The gospel that he preach
ed in life sustained him in the hour
Of death and he ave full assurance
that with him all was we'll. His per-
SOnal ambition knew no purpose on
earth save to be q cOnSecrated timer
ant and preacher Of the gospel. At
Thomas, one of the Oldest members
Of the conference, spoke of his aSso-
citation with Rev. Alfred Norman. He
referred especially to two occasions
when Mr.. Norman assisted him in
conducting p~rotracted meetings. He
gave numerous incidents of Mr.. Nor
mans ability as a preacher. Mr..
ThOmas although old in years retains
the VigOr and wit of youth, and is
one Of the most active members Of
the conference at every annual meet
