November a German tramp named
Ludwig Gumpei was shot and in
stantly killed while walking on the
Frisco railroad track, about three
miles east OF Nlangua, by fellow
tramp. boy named Daniel Moore,
10 years Of age, and hailing from
Indianapolis. Moore was arraigned
for trial at the regular term OF the

Thursday and the case given to the
jury last night. This morning a
verdict OF guilty of murder in the
second degree, and fixing the punish
ment at 40 years imprisonment in
the penitentIary, was rendered. AS
Moore is under the age fixed by law
at which convicts can be sent to the
penitentiarv, the sentence is in effec

will expiate his crime by serv, ng one
year in the county Jail.

The plan for 8 ''univerlal CONNER
cial language originated about five
years ago by Herr Schleyer, OF Switz-
erland, seems to be meeting with
greater favor than has been accorded
ether projects of the kind. 1t is re-
ported that yolapuk is already spoken
with facility by thousands OF Euro
peans; knowledge Of it is being dis
seminated by more than fifty societies
scattered ever England, Germany, Aus
tria, Sweden, Holland, Asia Minor and
other countries; Volapuk grammars
for the use of Hottentots and Chinese.
besides all the European nations, are
either in the market or in course OF
preparation; and two reviews, one en-
tirely in Volapuk and the other with a
translation on alternate pages, are reg
ularly published. The special advan-
tage of the new language is the ease
with which it can be learned. eight les
sons having enabled a Partisan class to
correspond readily with students in
foreign countries.

DIAMOND CUT DIAMOND.

The establishment of what has been
called a counter police is said to be one
of the recent features in Irish secret
societies in New York and elsewhere.
1t consists of a squad of paid spoilers,
or men whose function it is TO detect
detectives. 1t is averred that for some
time agents of the British government
have been busy with the societies here
whose intentions are supposed to be
unfriendly to that institution, and Pink
erton's mea have possibly also had
their fingers in some of the uncooked
Irish pies which John Bull considers so
indigestible. These persons, we are
informed, are not to be molested, but
are to be Swallowed and hampered as
much as possible in the performance OF
their jobs.
1t is also reported that the British
government is now harder at work than
even in the attempt to forge a connect
ing link between its most bitter Celto-
American foes here and the Nationalist
in Ireland. In this way it expects to
have something TO hang to while prose
cutting Irish leaders.
