Sunday evening previous, but met with no
success here. Mr. Walker rode into oxford

terrain church, and attended service there,
and after service he found that some one
had taken the horse away. A Golored man
who came to Oxford a day or two previous,
and who had that day announced his inten-
ton to go to Newark, Del, was suspected
of the theft, and as he was not about ON

was dark brown or black roam, with a
curb in right hind leg and an enlargement
on left hind leg caused by kick Mr.
Walker and several members of the Detec-
tive Society started out in different direc-
tons on Monday, and kilograms were sent
to all prominent points. Late in the after
noon the thief was captured and the horse
and saddle recovered at the stables of Thos
Pagan ~ Co, No. POI and BOG Orange street

time had reached Wilmington, accompa-
MED by AN officer, took horse and thief tn
Oxford, and the latter was committed to
West Chester Jail.

 The Western Union Contracts-An Inter
 esttng Account of the Business Given
 by President Green.
 WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-Dr. Norvin Green, of the Western Union Telegraph company, accompanied by ex-Attorney General Gwynne, of Maryland, appeared before the Senate Committee on Postofices and Post Roads at o'clock this afternoon. After being sworn Dr. Green said that the inter roeatories submitted to him by the committee embraced certain questions which he could not properly answer, especially those respect ing contracts. He hoped that the committee would not insist upon the production of the Western Union contracts. He was not au- thorized to produce them and would not do SO unless the other parties consented. He had already furnished the contract with the Associated Press, and even that was produc- ing it's effect on the company, as every one not having terms as favorable as those given the Associated Press were looming down" on the company for smaller terms. There was nothing in the Associated Press contract to debar a similar association doing as large business from enjoying equally favorable rates and individual newspapers, whether in one association or another, are given the same rates and treated alike. Chairman Hall asked witness if he would produce the contracts
