 Court Notes
 It will be a matter of considerable in- terest to the bar and litigants to learn that a strong effort is being made to have the present term of the united States court extended. It seems that the very crowded criminal docket has con- stunned almost the entire term time, and unless the term is extended, the civil cases, many of which 1t is said are press ing and important, will go over to the next term of the court. Every attorney to whom the matter was yesterday pre- sented lent it his hearty indorsement, and it is proba ble that Judge Bruce will make arrangements to prolong the pres ent term.
 Sheriff Morrow is in Chicago visiting his daughter. He will return within the next few days.
 State court judges say it has been long time since litigation was so light in their courts.
 The federal court was occupied without q conclusion yesterday with the Carroll damage suit against the Alabama Great Southern Railroad company.
