About six weeks before his death while sitting in his office, et Lang- ston’s Law and Forensic Institute on D street, Mr. Langston made a remark to me which I on recalled after his death, that seemed to indicate that he must have had some premonition of his death, though he was at that time in the best of spirits, and in his usual health, fora man of his years. Said he to me: ‘‘I have done a great deal for the colored race during my life, and I certainly think that I ought to get to heaven, ifI don’t | don’t, know whether they have at all times thanked me for what I have done but I have done it. But, sir, | shall not be able to do very much more.” ._ I did not have the opportunity dur- ing Mr. Langston’s life to know him as intimately as some others, but the im- pression gained of him from our lim- ited association as a man and a gentle- man was one which the lapse of years will never erase from my memory. Three things stood out pre-eminent- ly in Mr, Langston’s character and readily impressed themselves upon all with whom he came in contact. They were, first, his intense American- ism; second, his absolute fearlessness when enlisted in a cause of right; third, his dictinctive individuality. These three traits of character had more to do with molding his enviable reputa- tion as a citizen, a leader, and a gen- tleman than anything else. As a citizen Mr. Langston was proud of his country, being always ready to defend her reputation and her institu- tions, condemning that which he thought was wrong but still jealous of her honor. But it leader that he was looked far beneath the skin ‘o discover If he had a mission to perform a white face did not daunt him any more than did a colored one. All were alike to him.

A PROBABLE CLUE TO THE MURDER- ERS. What appears to be a murder was probably committed last Tuesday night near Deanwood. Wednesday morning the dead body of William Lazenberry, colored, was found in a culvert near the railroad in the vicinity of Deanwood. There was a deep, clean cut on the back of the man’s head. It looked as if inflicted by some sharp instrument and undoubtedly caused almost instant death. Just how the man met with this in- jury is unknown. It is certain he was not struck by a train. The position of the body was face downward, and signs of a struggle were visible on the ground. An engineer coming in on the 9 o’clock train from Baltimore was the first to see the body. When the train stopped at Deanwood he informed Mounted Officer Jack Boland, who no- tified the Ninth precinct police station. A patrol wagon was sent to the police and the body brought to the morgue. Coroner Carr was notified, and, after an investigation at 20’clock. Morgue Master Schoenberger searched the dead man’s clothes and found numerous receipts made out to Willtam Lazenbury. Other papers discovered showed that Lazenberry was the man’s name, and that he is a prominent member of Columbia Lodge No. 1376, of Odd Fellows. He was also treasurer of the com- mittee which has in charge the collec- tion of funds tor the purpose of erect- ing a hal) for the Colored Lodg Odd Fellows in Gecrgetown. As ciated on this committee are Ralph Lee, a lawyer on 14th street, between F and G streets northwest, and James L Turner, at 3,000 M street northw Maurice Honesty, secretary of Co- lumbia Lodge, stated that Lazenbury last Tuesday night attended a meeting on Twenty eighth street, between O and P streets northwes He left the hall in time to catch the 10.45 train to Deanwood, and did not collect the money from the members, as is his cus- tom, he being treasurer of the associa- enbery was about torty years id Mr. Honesty. ‘‘He never gentlemen can go and be served with the finest in the market.
