Stamford, and will be remembered by

contracts was the digging out of the
canal, in the seventies. The family liv-
ed here for several years, removing
to Norfolk, Va, Mr.. Caller having large
contracts for dredging on the Chesa-

partner OF his father, and soon demon
strated that he possessed those quail
ties which are essential to successful
man of affairs. Gradually he assumed

WHEN A MORTGAGE SECURED

WAS VALID AND THE OTHER
NOT. THE COURT WILL NOT EN-
FORCE, THE DEED AS TO THE
VALID NOTE.
This was an action to enforce 4 mort

which was for valid consideration and
the other ostensibly for $1,000, but real
~ for future advances, both notes be-
ing payable to the mortgagee. lie
falsely stated they were both for debts

been repaid him he sued on both notes
TO foreclose the mortgage and the
mortSagee answered, admitting the
validity of both notes, knowing that
nothing was due on one of them. There
was decree for plaintiff and defend
ants appealed.
The court says:
The first question raised by the ex-
ceptionS is whether the Circuit judge
erred In not finding that the mortgage
was null and void on the grounds that
the note for $1,000 was without consid-
Grafton, and that both the said note and
mortgage were executed for the pur-
pose OF blndcrinG, delaying, and de-
frnuding the creditors of Robert
Garvin, deceased.
The following facts are established by
the testimony: Cd The plaintiff had
notice, at the time the notes and mort
gage were executed, that Robert Garvin
was indebted to Il. a. McCreery & Co.
90 NO money was loaned by the plain
tit To Robert Garvin ut the time the
notes and mortgage were executed, and,
II the note for $1,000 had been given for
advances thereafter to be made, II

stated this fact than to have said it

years after date, with interest from the
time the note was executed. CD When
the PLAINTIFF was requested to give in
formation as. to the consideration OF the
mortgage, he did not state that the note
for $1,000 was in consideration of add
Vances thereafter to be made. He,
however, at that time, claimed tina,

"A CHARGE TO THE JURY THAT If
A RAILROAD COMPANY FAILED
TO PRODUCE ALL OF IT'S EN-
PLOYES AT THE TIME OF THE
ACCIDENT. THE JURY CAN IN
FER THAT SUCH ABSENT EN-
PLoYES WOULD GIVE THE TIES
TIMONY PREJUDICIAL TO THE
DEFENSE is ERRONEOUS.
This was an action for the killing
and injurlng OF certain mules of the
plaintiff by the railroad company. The
point decided is shown in the opinion
of the court.
The court says:
The charge set forth in the fourth
headnote was erroneous. The law does
not make 1t the duty of litigant to
produce Witnesses and this applies to
railroads as we'll as to natural persons.
The law will sometimes allow infer
ence unfavorable to u litigant to be
drawn by the jury from the fact that
witnesses who are accessible are not
called and sworn. 1t is. however. no
breach Of duty on the part of q liti-
CANT to fail or refuse to produce wit
nesses to sustain a complaint or to
prove defense. 1t he fails or refuses
to produce witnesses that are accessi-
BILE, he must take the consequences re-
sulting from the jury drawing an In
ference that such failure or refusal was
caused by the fact that such witnesses
would, If produced, have testified to
facts prejudicial to him. The Code de-
clares that: Where Il party has evil
dence in his power and within his
reach, by which he may rcpel claim tr
charge against him. and omits to pro-
duce 1t. on, having more certain and
satisfactory evidence in his power, re-
lies OF that which is of a weaker and
inferior nature, a presumption arises
that the charge or claim is we'll found
ed; bug this presumption may be re-
butted." Civ. Code, section 5163. But
no presumption will ever arise prejldi-
cial to the party falling to produce the
witness, provided the jury are satisfied
from the evidence before them that the
party who had such witness accessible
mas nevertheless proven his claim or
established his defense. The failure to
call and have sworn witnesses who are
accessible, and peculiarly within the
power of n party, will authorize argu-
ment by counsel before jury that, in
case the jury be In doubt as to the truth
OF the transaction, they might infer
that the absent witness, if in court,
would have furnished evidence prelude

FEW FAILURES.

A new record which speaks eloquent
ly for the splendid condition of bust
ness throughout the country has been
established this year by the reduction
of number of commercial failures TO
the minimum number known since
an account has been kept of them.
ain the second quarter of 1899 fail
ures were the smallest ever reported
in that quarter of twenty-five years
for which quarterly records exist. The
average per failure $7l65, is the small
est ever known in any quarter; the
average per firm in business, 1920,
and the ratio of defaulting liabilities
to solvent exchanges, go cents pei
$1,000, are both the smallest ever
known to any quarter. In ten out OF
fourteen branches OF manufacturing,
failures were smaller than in the
same quarter of four OF the previous
five years, and in thirteen out of four
teen trading branches. The large
failures for 100000 or more were only
two in trading for 1924, 0S8, less than
tenth of the smallest previous year,
and only fifteen in all for $2,4l7 $50,
from fifth to a tenth OF previous
rears.
This is showing that demonstrates
a singular healthy state of affairs in
the commercial world. When there
are so few business troubles,it is plain
that merchants and manufacturers
are prospecting to an unusual degree.
Reports from all manufacturing and
commercial enterprises are to the eff
feet that the business revival is univer-
sal and the small number of failures
gives confirmation to these reports.
Present prosperity surpasses all ex-
pectaiions and predictions and the
best of it is that there are no signs of
its abatement but everything points
to it's further continuance and devel-
opment.

THE republican state convention, OF
Kentucky, has spoken out squarely
and to the point on the subject of
trusts. The plank on that question
declares: eve pledge the republican
party of Kentucky to the enactment
Of all such laws as may be necessary
to prevent trusts, pools, combinations
or other organizations from combining
to depreciate below its real value, or
to enhance the cost of any article, or
to reduce the proper emoluments of
labor. We congratulate the republi-
can party that the existing federal
legislation for the suppression of harm
full trusts, pools and combination, is
the work of a republican congress, per-
formed during the administration Of
republican president, and we con-
graduate the country that, in the
suppression ofinjurious combinations,
republican legislation has had in the
past as it will have in the future, due
regard for the interests of legitimate
business purposes, such legislation
being remedy for the wrong, and
not an embarrassment to industry, ell
terprise or thrift. The platform, which
was unanimously adopted, endorses
the administration OF President
Mckinley and commends the admin
istration's policy regarding Cuba, Por-
to Rico and the PHILIPPINES, and re-
affirms the principles and policies OF
the last republican convention except
as to civil service. The late amend
ment to civil service rules is commend
ed, and futher notifications recon-
mended for the benefit of the public
service.
