Deer on the Increase.

From the New York Sun.
1t is estimated that in the last five years the
number Of deer in the Adirondack region has
doubled. The estimate is considered by those
familiar with the subject as conservative one,
and the good result is attributed to the protec-
ton afforded by the amended game laws as en-
forced by the watchful care of the state game
protectors, assisted by the efforts of the several
sportsmens clubs in the localities where game
abounds. OF late there has been some dis
cussion and not little misunderstanding over
the question of the proper Interpretation Of
the term 'fawn," as it appears in the game
laws of the state. The law previous to two
years ago contained clause defining fawn
as deer with spotted coat. As it has been
discovered that in some animals the ''change
OF spots" occurs much earlier than in others
the test was decided unreliable, and today the
state game and fish commission construe all
references to a fawn to mean deer under eight
months old. That is, a fawn born in the spring
of any year would be fawn until the succeed
ing January. Careful sportsmen acting in line
with this construction consider it safest to kill
only yearlings. The protectors in some dis
tricts have already collected fines from a num-
Der of persons who have violated the law as
thus construed

THE VIRGINIA COLORED PEOPLE.
A Conference Asks Congress for Laws
and Money to Go West.


A Richmond. special to the Baltimore Sun
Of Virginia was held in Richmond last night to
memorialize Congress to pass a national cleo
ton law and to make an appropriation for
locating the colored people on lands in the
west. There were about one hundred and
twenty-five leaders present, including the five
colored members Of the Virginia legislature
A. W. Harris of Dindwiddie; T.. C. Corrigan,
Newport News; Col. Jos. T. Wilson, editor Of
the Industrial Day. and W. W. Evans, editor of
the Virginia Lancet, of Petersburg.
The resolutions adopted say Of the presiden-
tial election of 1888 and the last state elections
They were characterized by fraud, reinforced
by wholesale Acknowledgement of colored men
and denial to them of the right of suffrage
guaranteed them by the United States Constr
tuition. This consisted Of striking the colored
republican voters names from the registration,
posting live men as being dead, intmidating
by threats and discharging from work colored
men who desired to vote the republican ticket
and obstructng colored men by unnecessary
challenging. The public schools and churches
were made the vehicles for the dissemination
OF democratic doctrines by indirectly coercing
teachers into voting the democratic ticket or
remaining away from the polls We call upon
the Fifty-frst Congress to enact some legislation
for the remedying of these evils. We heartily
recommend the passage of a national registra-
ton and election law and an appropriation
sufficient to allow to every colored person who
SO desires free transportation to the lands in
the west. We discountenance African emigra-
ton and recommend that every Afro-American
remain in this land of his BIRTH the home of
his adoption. We Indorse the Blair educa-
tional bill as the most potent measure for the
solving Of the most momentous problems
which agitate this section of the country"
plan OF organization was adopted creating
an executive committee, which meets on the
first Tuesday in February, and proposes for a
thorough organization throughout the state.
committee of twenty-five was appointed to
urge Congress to carry out the legislation asked
for in these resolutions

Frances Dudley, charged with having on Thurs
day last abandoned her six weeks old child by
leaving ii in the area way of house No. 1918 N
street northwest. Officer Hanley testified to
the finding of the child and its transfer to st.
AIMS asylum. The girl said she had given the
child to Lucy Smith to take care of; that she
had been married, but did not live with her
husband, and that the father of the babe was a
coachman. She further said that her object in
getting some one to take care Of the child was
that she might go out in service. The Judge said
that unfortunately the law did not reach the
man, but this business Of getting rid of Off
spring should be checked. The father Of the
girl was present, and in answer to the
court said she had friends In North Carolina to
whom he would send her. The court said that
the law provided for punishment by fine not
exceeding $3.50 or imprisonment not exceeding
two years. II, however, her friends would see
that she would get away from temptation he

Inc mystery OF the disappearance of W. ].
Longmeyer, one OF the leading citizens OF
knoxville, Tenn, has been solved by the find
ing OF his bones near Glenmary, in the Cum
berland mountains. The Identification was
made by his purse, which contained Sl6 in
money The latter fact seems to corroborate
tue theory OF many that he had become insane
and wandered off into the mountains and died.
Longmeyer has been missing over three
months, during which time constant search has
been made for him. Only the skeleton was
found, the flesh having been eaten by wild ami
mails or buzzards
