Judge Moore announced from the bench yesterday that the next term oI the District Court would begin or March ,. when a jury will be called. A jury panel will probably be drawr about Feb lj.
 The present equity term is drawing to a close, and there will not be many equity cases left on the calendar by the end of next month. Those that remain untried between now and the next term of court will go over until the next equity term, which will probably be some time next fall or winter.
 The most important equity case that has been before the court during the present term, that Is the one inyOlvin. the greatest amount of money value, upwards of d half million, is the suit ot Nihma against the Hot Air people. and it will probably go over untred owing to he absence of the plaintiff, and the impossibility of getting the issues set tied before the close of the term.
 The trial calendar for the next term involves a good many important cases. When the grand jury will meet has not yet been determined. but probably not before April.
