CLUB IS LIKELY TO . ..BEARRESTED Probable That Information Will Be Lodged and VVarrants Issued, on Charge of Hunting Oeer Odt of Season. There is eve'ry reason to believe that the members of the Deep Hun Hunt Club, jointly and peveraHy, will within a few days be called upon to answer the charge of havihg unlawfully. engaged in the .s-port of decr-hunting, and with havlng baggcd one doe during .the season'that the laws of Virginia forbid such animals being nrolested. lt ?will be recalled by readers or The Times that a short time ago there was a lively ehase a'fter a lleet-footed doe, ex tending through a portion of the county ?of lianover and takiag in the thriving town of Ashland. lt was also'related that (the quarry ran through the main street of the aforesaid town. -with the hounds in full cry behind her, and that none of the inhaJ knew of the occurrence. iWAJS UNl^OUNDlvD. This assertion, however, circumstances sccm tn prove urifourided, since a few days after the chasr- several gentlemen of Ashland communieated with the Ameri? can League of Sportsmen with a vlew of havlng the hunters prosecuted for hunt? ing out of season.' lt is said that promihent lawye'rs have been consulted on the subject by both sides, and the opinion expressed tb.it there Is no ground for action, biit that. nevertheless. an attenipt will be made to reach liie bffenders. The facts in th.- case are these: The Lakeslde iPark has beeh iccustomed for years to maiitain a sori of menagerie, ambrig the anhrials there being a num ber ??: deer. At differenl times these lat ter have escaped, and iri each Iristarice they have been run down by hounds and recaptured uninjurcd. ucstlbn, who is The doe in questlon, who is <!???.> cause of the trouble, took i; Into her head to wander. nnd the Lakeslde authorities,;folr lowing their us-i;al methoos, promptly borrowed tiie paek of hounds of the Deep Run Hunt Club and gave ehase. MET HER DE.Vi'll. The urifprtunate doe, af;?-r her exhiln rating spln through Ashland. took to the siashos. for which lianover is famous, and was there cnughl and killed by the hounds before the riders. who were close at hand, could save her life. The death of the ariimal was much regrettcd by the hunters, for they were not blbod-thirsty, and simply desired to relurn "her to Lake? slde, where sh'e mi.uht ag'ain enjoy life in the green v'ales and beslde the silvery lake of that beautlful spot. iMr. P. A. K. Brine, secretary of tfte Deep Run Hunt Club, said last ni-^ht that while he h.i i heard that warrants would probably be Issued. Tie had no positive information as yet.

Cansiricircd as Pi'ciuattirc?Confcrcnce Cbminittcc Not Appointed. It is ha'rdly probable that the journey men plumbers will -^o out on u strlke to morrow, as was reported yesterday, as their action would be rather preraature. The increase in wages asked for by the journeymen will not take effeet until June. and tho coritractors have taken no defi nlte action on the matter as yet. Several days ago. at a meeting of th" eontr.o tors, a committee was appointed to confer with a committee from the journeymen in regard to the matter. but the latter refused to appbint a committee for such a confbrence. When seen yesterday a prominent con tractor said that he had heard nothing of any proposed strikc and did not credit the report. He sr.id that such" action on the part of the men would be very hasty. A meeting of the contractbrs will be held to-morrow to take fur'her action in regard to the demands of the journeymen. Tjyiielibui'g Democrats. LYNCHBURG. VA., April li'J? Special.
