Preliminary Examination Results.

Grading papers is the greatest
drudgery the teacher has to do. To
read and grade 1000 answers to eighty
different questions in nine studies,
written by sixty-four different pupils
is no small task, but it has been &C
complished at last. No attempt has
been made to give each separate an
swer an exact value but only to arrive
at fair comparative results. The
grades have been sent to teachers
who can get the MSS by calling at the
Office. Pupils should compare papers
with text books.
Sixty-four pupils wrote all or part
of the examination. OF these twenty
have passing grades and about that
number additional will be recon-
mended to try the final examination,
of which notice will be published
next week. Respectfully,
A. S. PEACOCK.

TRAMPS MURDERED.
Wanderers Thought to Have Been
Ruthlessly Killed by Brakemen.
4 CHALLENGE TO A DUEL LIKELY
Friction Between Senator blackburn and
Logan Carllsie-A Woman Found
Murdered on the Street ut
Council BiufYs, IL.

New YORK, Oct IA special from
New Haven to the Evening World says
that the police Of that city believe that
brakemen Of the Consolidated railroad
have been ruthlessly numbering tramps
caught stealing rides on cars OF that
line. 1t is asserted that ten bodies, all
mangled by being run over by trains,
have been found on the tracks OF the
Consolidated within the last six
months, The dispatch states that q
man named Moloney, from Brooklyn,
was shot twice and thrown from
train by the train hands, but survived
his injuries and has given information
to the authorities, which led to the ar
rest of brakeman named Bean. The
latter, according to the story, con-
fessed to the superintendent OF police
Of New Haven that the train men
made it a practice to kill tramps found
on their cars.
A CHALLENGE TO A DUEL. LIKELY.
WASHINGTON, Oct, 7.-Rumors are in
the air to the effect that Senator Black
burn may challenge Logan Carlisle to
fight duel because Of the latter's re-
Gently published card, in which he de-
clared 1t would be more OF an honor to
hold a joint debate on the financial
question with a negro than with Black
burn. So far as can be learned here
no challenge has been received. The
senator left town Saturday and has
not been heard of since, and the off,
cials at headquarters are greatly an
noyed Of his failure to keep appoint
ments. His departure is shrouded in
mystery The theory announced here
is that Sol. Blackburn is consulting
with his friend preparatory to chal-
longing Logan Carlisle.
A WOMAN FOUND MURDERED,
COUNCIL BLUFFS, Ia., Oct Mrs.
Zemin L. Axe, of Omaha, was found
dead at an early hour yesterday morn
ing in the street. She had been shot
in the head four or five times. Any
one of the wounds would have proved
fatal instantly. A careful search was
made where the body was found, but
no clew could be discovered. There
were no traces of struggle. The
woman was about 50 years of age. 1t
is believed she was murdered to pre-
vent her from telling something dam
aging to the murderer.
