Civil Service Examinations.

Chief Clerk Webster, a man of great
zeal and usefulness in his work, denies
that school girls and boys have a better
chance in these examinations than men
and women of more mature years. That
the competitors are not school children
is shown by the average age of candi-
dates, which is about 80 years. 1t is
noteworthy, however, that the average
age of those who fail is always greater
than that of those who succeed. OF
common school graduates SO out Of 100
fail, as against only II of 100 of high
school graduates. Among candidates
who claim academic or collegiate educa-
ton the percentage of failure is nearly
80, and the business college graduates
do but 2 or 3 per cent. better.
Not many of the problems are difficult.
A majority are in simple addition, null

LONDON, July 24.-Since Labouchere
laid on the table in the house of commons
a motion to substitute for the report of
the royal grants committee. an address to
the queen, stating the sums given to the
royal family already are sufficient, and
that if further supplies are needed they
ought to be supplied through retrench-
ment in the expenses of the royal house
hold, and not by fresh demands upon the
taxpayers, there has been a rupture
among the liberals. Gladstone. Sir Will
liam Vernon Harcourt and Parnell have
decided to support the government. John
Morley will nov an amendment against
increasing the allowance of the royal
princes, unless when the next request is
made 1t will be accompanied by a pledge
that it will be a final one. Gladstone's
pressure upon Labouchere to withdraw
the motion has been futile. Labouchere
will listen to no compromise. The Par
neiiite members OF the house of commons
are whipping fer the government greatly
to the disgust OF the radicals. The oppo
sitiou being thus at skies and sevens, a
large government majority on the report
of the royal grant committee is assured.

CHICAGO, July 24.-The proposition
of the Southern Pacific railroad to guar

executive committee Of the Transconti-

that could be reached was to recommend
a reduction of differentials and a report to
that effect was submitted to the general
meeting, but the Southern Pacific refused
to accept it. The meeting adjourned
until to morrow.
The passenger department adopted a
resolution making a rate Of one fare for
the round trip for veterans attending the

opinion is in accord with the decision
given by Solicitor Hepburn on the same
question some weeks ago, which was,
however. not accepted by the treasury

A PECULIAR CASE.
Mrs. Fairchild Lays Claim to a
Large Estate.

But Loses Her Case.
Mysterious Death of Three Men
in Indianapolis.
Mrs. FairchiId Lost Her Case.

CHICAGO, July PA suit at law with
many peculiar features was decided here
to-day by Judge Knickerbocker. Col.
Walters Babcock, a supposed bachelor.

have never been cleared up. He was on
a visit to MISS Sarah Dodge, a Gardner
spinster. lie left an estate valued at
$50, 900 and his sister, Mrs. Hattie A.
Martin, secured letters of administration
thereon. Pending a settlement of the
estate Mrs. Naomi Fairchild, aged 90
years and broken in health, began suit to
secure a share OF the estate, claiming to
be Col. Babcock' widow.
She set up that she was once consId-
cred a very beautiful woman; iu fact, she
was the belle Of the whole countryside in
Wisconsin. Col. Babcock, she AYERS, fell
in love with her as a widow, and on Octo-
Der I, two days before the great fire of
1871, married her. The circumstances OF
the marriage, as she related them, were
very peculiar. He took her, she AYERS. TO
a house ON Wabash avenue in this city,
whose location she cannot fix, and there
at midnight they were made one. After
the ceremony he took her back to her
house and left her, enioining upon her to
keep the matter secret This she did and
was always known as Mrs. Fairchild until
alter the colonel's death.
At the trial w. H. Burns testified that
at the time mentioned and under circum-
stances described he had married Mrs.
Fairchiid to some person. but whether or
not it was Col. Babcock he could not af
firm. On the top of this came the ties
timony of Mrs. Julia Brattan, claimants
sister, that it was she who was married at
night in the house in Wabash avcuue un

Fairchild. The court decreed that the
claimant was not the wife of the de

Bells preaching will not talk of the muir

the negros are in a lamentable Atate of

NEW YORK. July 24.-The Estock
market showed no signs of getting out of
the rule of dullness into which it has fall

same limited scale as usual of late, while
the tone of the market, which was strong

in the direction of lower figures and for
fractional amounts only.

Three Dead Bodies Found.

INDIANAPOLIS. July PA report is
current, but not fully authenticated, hat
early this morning the bodies of three
men, one colored and two white, were
found near Whitney station, Lake county.
Who they are. where they came from OF
how there, is unknown to any one The
most plausible theory is that they were
stoekmen passing through with a load OF
live stock and perhaps tramps on the
train committed the deed and threw the
bodies off in order to allay suspicion. The
bodies were found close together between
the track of the Baltimore K Ohio and
Lake Shore railways. -
