PATHETIC SCENE IN COURT.
Severe Sentence ofEugene Moore, Il,
State Auditor. of Nebraska

State Auditor of Nebraska.
Lincoln, Neb., Dec. 1.-Ex-State Au-
ditor Eugene Moore, found guilty on
Monday OF embezzllng $23, 900 state
funds, was yesterday sentenced to
eight years in the penitentiary. The
sentence was a surprise and a crush
ing blow to the prisoner, who had ex-
pected nothing but nominal punish
ment. and the scene in the court room
was as affecting as it was dramatic.
Moore, with his wife standing by his
side. pleaded with the court for mercy,
making a long and somewhat rambling
statement. At it's conclusion he sank
in his chair. sobbing bitterly, his wife
trying vainly to comfort him.
Judge Cornish, visibly affected, spoke
slowly Of the crime committed and OF
the entire absence Of extenuating cir
cumstances. He said ne believed no
less than ten years in the penitentiary
would satisfy outraged justice. AS he
paused Mrs. Moore threw her arms
about her husbands neck and shouted,
"Oh, please, judge. have mercy on him;
have mercy"
Judge Cornish then said:
"On account OF your devoted wife and
your loving children I will reduce the
sentence by. two years. Therefore, the
sentence Of the court is that you shall
be confined in the penitentiary for the
term Of eight years at hard labor, pay
the costs OF prosecution, and be fined
in the sum OF 46,S1610."

of a coach in the West when the driver
said to him:
I've had q coin guy me to-day 200
years old. Did you ever see a coin 200
years old?'
"Oh, yes; l have one myself 1000
years Old

and spoke no more during the rest of
the journey.
When the coach arrived at its destina-
ton the driver turned to the other with
an intensely dissatisfied air and said:

sally into Macedonia need not of necas-

action and sends troops to take the in
vaders when driven back, it is proba-
BILE that the Porte will be satisfied. But
there's the rub. King George will, we
fear, hardly dare to punish the invaders
if the Turks drive them out. Nor will
he be likely TO officially disavow the ac-
ton of the irregulars for fear of the re-
sentiment of the Grecian people who
unquestionably applaud the acts of the
invaders Grecians probably look upon
the situation as such, that no matter
how war is begun, it will evertuate

thereby declare war against Turkey

Gladstone, who recently said that Ger
many is ruled by young man incapable

the language employed was more polite.
! William is reported to have been

he vehemently insisted upon severe
measures being employed against
Greece. His persistence grew annoying,
whereupon Russia informed him that
| he had least of all rulers in Europe con-
Germ in the settlement of the Eastern
/ in the matter are SO slight as to render
/ it offensive to have German views
/ pushed so annoyingly upon Europe.
| This is the cut direct, and amounts to
premeditated offense. But Emperor
William dare not manifest a feeling of
resentment concerning it, for as surely
as he does England will withdraw any

rope is, as the dispatches state, more
menaced to-day by him than by the

ser is giving the Turk encouragement
and urging him to take aggressive
steps. Is it indeed true that the grand
son of the great William is 'off" in the
