WHEN OLNEY IS ACTIVE.

Mr. Olney is not an inert person. It
is only that he discriminates and
avoids waste Of effort.
When the newspapers were clamor-
ing for activity on his part in the sup
preston of the trusts and that kind of
things he preserved a dignifed in
difference. His client in that case
would have been nothing more than
that vague entity which we call the
public, and Mr.. Olney is quite superior
to the weakness of considering the
public as of Importance.
Now that the great corporate inter,
ests of the country are attacked, how.
ever, Mr.. Olney is quick to find ways
in which the Federal power may be
employed in their behalf, and active
to bring that power to bear.
He kmws the corporations as clients.
He recognizes their capacity to appre
ciate and reward service in ways i'm.
possible to a mere public" He is an
exceedingly active and energetic At
torney General now that he has clients
be deems worth serving.-New York

the sort of dialogue you hear now ard

That means reputation, and is the

a man hope to earn it without careful

awful job for him to pick the habit up

somewhat modified by statute, and in
Delaware, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa,
Kentucky, Maine, Michigan, Nevada,
Oklahoma, South Carolina and Yer
mant the rule is the reverse to the gen
eral rule above stated. In some States
the mortgage is held to be valid on
certain conditions, as in the State of
Idaho on condition that the proceeds
of the sale go to the mortgagor, and in
Kansas if the mortgagor acts as the
agent of the mortgage. And In Mas
sachusetts the mortgage is good, in so
far as it covers the original goods that
remain in the stock, but not on the
goods brought in to replenish the stock.
Missouri holds with Idaho. In New
Hampshire the mortgage is good if
sworn to and recorded, and in New
Jersey it is good if recorded. In New
York it is good if it is provided in the
mortgage that the mortgagor is in pos
session as agent of the mortgage, and
the sales are for cash, and the proceeds
are to be applied in reduction of the
mortgage debt. The same in North
Carolina and North Dakota. Ohio
holds with New York. In California
and Pennsylvania chattel mortgages
are only authorized on certain articles
specified by statute. South Dakota
holds with North Dakota. Virginia
the same as North Carolina. In Wash
ington the mortgage is good if it is
drawn so that the mortgagor must
apply the money received from the
sales to the payment of the mortgage
debt. In Wisconsin it is good if sworn
statements are filed every sixty days
showing the amount of the goods sold,
the amount added, and payment made
On the mortgage debt. Wyoming
agrees with North Dakota. The law
in Maryland is doubtful. Some times
a mortgage is 50 drawn as to attempt
to cover not only goods in existence
but such az may afterwards be &C
quired. AS a general rule, however,
chattel mortgages do not after
acquired property. Where it is pro
vided in the mortgage that property
acquired thereafter shall be covered
thereby, the mortgage will not cover it.
This is a general rule, but the rule is
denied in Iowa, Michigan. Mississippi,
Nevada, North Dakota, South Carolina,
South Dakota, Vermontand Wyoming.
The question is doubtful in Florida,
Indiana, Kansas, Montana, New Mexico
and Utah.
The mortgage will cover after ac-
CURED property if it is sc specified in
the mortgage in the States of Mime
sofa, New Jersey and Washington.
In Maryland it is said that the mort
gage will probably be goodi if the mort
gagee takes possession before the rights
of third parties to the after acquired
property attach. This is probably true
also Missouri and Rhode Island.
In Ohio a chattel mortgage will cover
after acquired property if the mortgage
is on file.
In Texas the mortgage will not cover
such property unless it had potential
existence at the time the mortgage was
given,

A COOL MURDERER.
After Staying His Victim He Wraps the Corpse iu Blanket, Puts It
 in Box and Labels It.

JASPER, Oct. 15.-[Special. l-Late yes- terday afternoon J. F. Allison, a jeweler of this place, left presumably to go to see a woman who lived at New River water tank, near Glen Allen, on the Kansas City !, Memphis and Birmingham. He went alone, and few even knew where he started. When he got to New River tank |, and in a short distance of the house where the woman whom he had started to see lived, he sat down.
 While he was sitting down resting some one from ambush fired load of buckshot into his body, which, from all indica- tions, produced instantaneous death. The murderer, to make novelty of his crime, took the body of the dead man, wrapped it in blanket and placed it in a pine box. He then wrote upon slip of paper, "J. F. Allison, Jasper, Ala.," and tackled it upon the box.
 The body was found by some of the resi- dents nearby and taken to Glen Allen, from which place it was shipped here to- night.
 Wno the murderer of Allison is, is not known, but it is supposed that the deed was either done by some close relative of the woman or jealous lover.
 Allison ran a jewelry store here, and was 37 years old. The affair has created proba- bly more comment than anything that has ever happened here. Officers are at work trying to run down Allson's slayer, but when this will be done cannot be told.

Chesa peake Bay Characters.

Itis an interesting revelation of char acter to the northerner to go down the Chesapeake bay by any one of several steamboat lines running from Balti- more to points in Maryland and Vir- ginia, on each shore of the bay. The boats are of very different quality and speed from those that ply the East river and the Hudson, and the passen- CTS are usually southerners or border state folks. There is much talk of pol itics and hunting -''gunning" is the more usual term-a great deal of to- bacco chewing, and an easy familiarity among the passengers and between them and, the officers of the boat. The voyage on the Chesapeake, if taken by moonlight or by day, is as charming and varied as one could wish, and the steamboats run up half dozen tidal rivers that are beautifully clear and lined with an abundant semi-tropical growth of trees and shrubs Here and there one catches glimpse of the grounds attached to house having what Marylanders call . water situa- tion, and there are occasional stops at private wharves to receive as freight the products of one or more farms.

The baron, when he sold out the controll- ing interest in the Alabama Great Southern and Cincinnati, New Orleans and Texas Pacific, never let 0 his hold of his voting powers in those companies, but tied both Brice and Thomas up as tightly as bur- glar proof safe.

 That is what the baron did during the Brice- Thomas regime on the Alabama Great Southern and Cincinnati, New Or leans and Texas Pacific roads and what he did today.

OPENING DAY AT NASHVILLE.


 NASHVILLE, Tenn, Oct. 15.-The att tendance of the opening day of the fall trots was very discouraging. The track and weather were all that could be desired and the racing was of an interesting char acter.
 In the second heat of the 2:15 trot Thayer sent TreviIlion out for the stallion record. He made a show of his field, but could not finish better than 2:08A. It is conceded, however, that if he had been pushed he could have gone faster.
 New Castle won the three- minute trot after stubborn contest with Sallle Sim mons. The mare won the first two heats, but she weakened after this and New Cas- tie had 1n easy time of it, except in the fourth heat, which caused him to break badly.
 Miss Nelson and Knightmore were equal favorites in the 2:13 trot. Miss Nelson won the first two heats quite handily, and had good lead in the third, but William Penn forced her off her feet in driving finish in the third, and she finished h the ruck. She took the last heat hapdily.S
 The2:12 pacing race was the most exciting of the day. Patti b was the best liked, with Venture the next in demand. Not a few pinned their faith to Brookside, the record breaking Tennessee colt. He acted very badly, however, and was distanced in the first heat, Aggie D, an outsider, taking the first heat. Venture took the next two and Patti D the fourth,s when darkness compelled postponement until tomorrow. Summarizes: sysss.rx t tsA
