TEXAS democrats are fighters from
way back. They carried themselves
bravsly through the late terrible CON
test at the polls. The fight was fierce
and stubborn, but southern ardor tri-
umphed, and they came out victorious
with slight balance in their favor of
10000 votes. This will appear rather
small to some, who locked for demo-
cratic majority of 200. 200 or m6fe. but
as Texas is satisfied. let us all become
resigned:

ALUCKY DARBY.
The Young Colored Porter Who Won
ST. 5000 in. the louisiana
State Lottery.

A reporter while in the Mallory
steamship company's office in this
city few days ago met the young
colored porter George Henry Ashe,
who, at the last monthly drawing of
the Louisiana Lottery, won $4,000 of
the capital prize.
Ashe is young unprecedented dar-
ky, 2S years of age, polite and Oblig-
ing, of sober and industrious habits,
and has occupied the position of por-
ter in the Mallory office for the past
six years.
One would naturally think that the
acquiring of such sudden wealth
would be calculated to turn the head
of one in Ashes station of life, but
such is not the case. He pursues the
his position as Office porter, and
earnestly as though the position were
his only dependence.
When asked as to his plans for the
future he replied: II have put my
money out at interest, and intend to
continue to work for Captain Sawyer
as long as my services give him salts
faction. 1t was my wife who pur-
chased the ticket 55,915, which won
the $4,000.
Eyes. 1 have been buying lottery
tickets for about three years. / have
always come out even ON the invest
ment during this time by winning
small approximation prizes and at the
same drawing in which won the S15,-
600. also won $3.50 on another ticket,
but this amount is so insignificant
compared with the $4,000 that L only
mention it incidentally.
Eyes, the money was promptly paid
and have it securely invested for the
benefit of my family, consisting of a
wife and three children. I expect l
will continue to patronize the lottery,
and should 1 be as fortunate in the flu
ture as I have been in the past, l
don't think 1 will have any cause to
regret it."-GalvestOn (Tex.) News,

Picnic Der JaegerluSt.
Translated from the Texas Post, June Sth.

Translated from the Texas Post, June Sth.
Last Sunday was an exceptional
sunny day and the Jaegerlust society
had picnic on the shady banks of
the Olmos, the thorough enjoyment of
which was increased by the presence
of large number of ladies, wives and
daughters of the disciples of Nimrod.
AS true disciples of the last named
saint and father of the noble art of
the hunt, they also had made arrange
ments for the practice of the science
of target shooting and this was be-
gun with a shooting for prize, and
this prize consisted of giant sausage,
we'll spiced and prepared by Mr.. Ar
mold for this specific purpose. Hun
ter Koch gained the prize. After
wards the ladies shot at a small tar
get, for which the prize was cured
Angora skin, donated by Mr.. Koch.
Mrs. H. Kuehn was the va
liant winner of this prize. Afterwards
came a ''Flatter shoot" for cigars re-
spectively three for large and five for
a small one. Among those who
brought large supply of cigars home
were the Hunters" (?) Ernst Dietz-
mann, G. Koch, Heinrich Wagner
Robert Carolus, and others. Some
came home empty. Hunter Heiderich
had the misfortune that fly lit on
the "eyesight" at the end of the gun
and left a rise on the "visir" of the
rifle as to entirely mislead the shootist
to hit above the mark.
"Thus, even fly at play,
Can lead hunter astray."
The whole company returned home
in most happy mood, however not
soon enough, for they were overtaken
by one of Jupiter Pluvius' outpours in
the shape of a large and heavy shower
of rain, thunder and lightning, which
latter displayed some magnificent
fireworks

A Santa Fe passenger train had an
unusual experience few miles from
Dorsey station, Monday night. The
train suddenly stopped and eight
masked men boarded the platform of
the baggage car. Two of the robbers
crawled over the coal tender and
ordered the engineer to stop

but during the parley the fireman
jumped from the cab and made his
way back to the station, informing

which were several detachments Of
United States troops going south. The
second section came up, and the rob-
bers realizing the motive Of the fire.

Young Builders.

The Society of Young Builders of
the Alamo Baptist church, held a
very pleasant meeting at the church
last night, corner Nacogdoches and
Crockett streets, which was quite
largely attended. The exercises be-
gan with first part comprising songs
by the congregation and well de-
Hvered speech read by the talented
young DR.. Clifford, which was well re-
ceived. Following was beautiful
solo, Hear us, oh, Father" by Miss
Hortense Jones, in her best style.
Rev. DIR. Dodson followed, in a short
exhortation, and then a collection,
amounting to $3.50 was taken up for
the benefit of the building fund of the
church. Coronation" was then sung
by the assembly, which was followed
by the solemn benediction. Those
who wished to remain were then en-
tertained socially by the young men,
bers of the society and, it is needless
to say, all enjoyed themselves.
1t is the intention of the cOngrega-
ton OF the Alamo Baptist church to
soon erect a beautiful brick sanctuary
on the site of the present store build
ing now occupied as church, and
which they now own, having pur-
chased the same from the Grenet es-
tate, at cost of $4,000. 1t is the hope
of the LIGHT and many other friends
of this church, that they may succeed,
even to the fullest of their desires.
