to Know of Property.
 Business in the district court at short calendar this morning was going along very smoothly until a motion in 1 the everlasting contention of the New 1 York Evening Journal against F. $. i, Dillon's surety, Elizabeth Mccarthy, ] was reached. The motion was to pro- 1 duce certain books in plaintiffs pos session showing, according to Attorney Russell's claim, that some payments 1 had been made.
 Attorney Byrne, representing the plaintiff, held there was no such mo- ton on short calendar MT Russell claimed there was, and that if his mo- < ton was not motion he did not know ! what a motion was. Mir Byrnes main tained it was merely request to the clerk to have the matter entered on short calendar Judge Cowell had Clerk Root read the paper which only gave the contention fresh impetus. Af5, ter considerable discussion Judge Cow ell declared 1t a draw by withholding decision.
 A bond of $500 was ordered filed in l two weeks in the suit of Frank Peters against Eugene Mallette.
 Attorney Cole managed to get in some hard knocks on his old friend the Watertown Savings bank on suit for | foreclosure on loan against Eusebe Belanger ct al. MT Cole said he had searched high and low all over Water town and could find no trace of this alleged loan. MT Buckingham, coun- ] Se for the bank said he would be only too willing to let MT Cole see the banks books and show him the of the 1 loan in question. MT Cole scoffed at the offer and said he had been through the books a score of times. The mat ter went over.

 Judge Ralph Wheeler's finding in the case of the state against Willis Vandemark for perjury was delivered this morning to Clerk Marsh of the superior court. It is very long < document, comprising sixty-four pages of legal cap. There is nothing actu- ally new in 1t bearing upon the case, for 1t is merely a repetition of the finding by Vandemark's counsel and 4 the finding by States Attorney Kel- logg. It is upon the latter two the appeal of Vandemark will be drawn and his counsel will have a week in which to comply with that require ment
 It may happen, though, that they may request a change to be made ill certain parts, of the finding, and in case they disagree with the court in any point drawn up by him, 1t is very likely that such request will be made It rests with the court to grant or refuse that request and if 1t happens hat the request is not grant ed, Vandemark may take an appeal on that point also.
 :. However, 1t is said to be very un- likely that such a request will be made as no contention of that kind has arisen over the finding by the as sistant states attorney.
 In case no such request is made the [ appeal may be filed immediately and the entire papers will then be for warded by Clerk Marsh to the su- preme court, so that action may be taken In the June term of that body. j Mrs Harriet J Jerman filed in the probate court this morning an applica- ton for a disclosure by Mrs Jennie Forest of certain property belonging to the estate of her late husband, Bel. mont Forest. This application is a sequel to Attorney Coles appeal from probate which was decided in the su- i perior court a few weeks ago favorably to him.

Mrs Wood owned cottage at Walnut Beach which her father sold to Mrs Jerman's s late husband for farm in Middle bury Tn his will he left her S1,OOO 4 but she was never given this money Now Mrs Herman claims to be a credi- tor of Mir Forests estate and that Mrs 1 Forest has not accounted for certain l insurance policy on Mir Forests life
