Correspondence of the Gazette.
UvALDE, TEX, May PA freight train
on the Southern Pacific ran over q young
man by the name Of Albert Long yester-
dsy morning just before day and horribly
mangled his body. The deceased and
Hans Letters and Friedrich BurKhart
have been working for some time at
Piedras Negras, Mex and Eagle Pass,
Tex and on Monday the 2lst started to
San Antonio for pleasure, hoping to beat
their way. They came to Spoiord juno
ton, where they spent Monday night and
made several unsuccessful attempts to
ride on freight trains. On Tuesday they
walked about six or seven miles to q
water tank, and having made free with
John Bsrleycorn, they spent the re-
mainder of the day and night
there Long lying in the middle Of the
track and Letters across the trecA while
Burkhart lay little way from tie track.
Burkhart and Letters say that train
bound east came along and ran oyer Eopg
and came near running over Letters, md
they two jumped up and ran OF and g llne
on to Cline Station and reported th&l ID
Of their friend, and the agent told theaas
gineer Of the next train west bound "a
look out for him. That engine passed
over the body, ard when they
stopped to examine him he was already
cold.
Longs father is at work in Monclova,
Mexico, and he has relatives in San An
tonic. The above is substantially the
statement of Burkhart and Letters, who
are now in Uvslde jail awaiting further

O'Clock this morning e sad accident hap
pened to q barge-load of people returning

loosed snd the barge swung around,
coming in contact with apier of the bridge
with terrific force. The shock knocked

gers from the sun or rain. This clumsy
affair, which was built Of planks and tar
paulip, fell upon the passengers
like . trap. Those who saw the

that everybody on the barge had beeif
killed or wounded. After the debris& kd

Herb, leader of the Light Guard bands1t
is feared that his back has been broken,
and grave fears are entertained foe his

by removing it from the board and substl-
tuting his own: and if, from any cause, he
fails TO comply with this rule he forIeits
his offending counter. A variation In the
method of moving may occur when coun-
ter occupies square through which there
passes line of railway. 1t Is then entitled
to be moved two squares forward and back,
instead of only one, provided that it follows
the line. In these circumstances it can also
capture an opponent on the second square
or on the first but not at one move, on
both. One position on British ground Is
supposed to represent the Dover mouth OF
the completed channel tunnel. If white
can occupy this without mourning imme-
date capture his position there becomes
improbable SO long as he chooses to hold IL,
and in addition, he RECEIVERS three counters
should he have already lost so many, or the
first three which he may lose during subse-
quent operations. White wins if he succeeds
in placing one of his counters on London.
Blue wins If he capture all whites counters
The game is very simple and very attrac-
tive. A draught player could learn II IN
five minutes. But although it is simple, 1t
is by no means easy to play with success

operation of chance, and the issue must in
every case lie in the hands Of the player
who develops the greatest amount of tactl-
cal ability 1t is, therefore, game which

thusiastic as chess, and the impedimenta
which are needed for playing it are so cheap

THE NEGRO'S FUTURE.
An Interesting Lecture by a Distin-
guished Colored Divine.
From the Philadelphia Times.


Rev. F. j. Grimke, D. D., distinguished
colored divine, of Jacksonville, Fla, deliv-
cred lecture in the Berean Presbyterian
church, South College avenue, above Nine
tenth street, last night. His subject was
"The Future of the Negro" The speaker
said: II do not stand here to glorify the
negroes, but as one who is deeply interested
in their future am here to criticise their
faults and to show them, if possible, how to
improve their position. Nor do | favor race
preiudices, for the best friends we ever had
were white, and the best we have now are
of that class.
"There are three things we need to raise
US up-wealth, education and character.
As to wealth, we need it because it will
tend to make US in one sense independent,
and that is one of the greatest blessings of
mankind. How shall we get this wealth?
We must be industrious, economical, avoid
strong drink, and cooperate.
"As to education, it will not do for us to
sit and moan about the insufficient means
at our disposal but to be up and using what
we possess We must elevate the mind and
a great many things will come with it.
Character, above all other, is necessary to
our race to bring us to that position we all
wish to enjoy. If we build our hopes upon
anything else, it will be most disastrous
to us.
''The colored people must be courageous.
patient and self-reliant, as upon these
virtues depend our future happiness. Our
race will be Just what we make it, and our
future depends upon the use we make of
the present"
