to Be Conservative.

Laws which work a hardship on
common carriers or force them to a
compliance with the views of certain
classes must necessarily initiate
against the working men who depend
on the railroads for their support"
said Mr.. r. a. Gregg, of Roanoke, at
Murphy's yesterday.
Mr.. Gregg is general chairman of the
Southern Association OF Railroad Con-
ductors and Trainmen, and while he
disclaims any intention of being in
Richmond as a lobbyist, he declares
tfat he has resolution passed by the
different orders representing about
$4,000 men, urging Legislative bodies TO
be conservative in eracting laws which
may work a hardship on the railway
interests. He said that the Norfolk

of the financial depression, and that
the railroad business generally was in
a state of unrest and uneasiness.
Mr.. Gregg denied that he was mere

that lay within its reach, the horse
lost last Thursday night by Mr.. Ma
polcon Lacy, of Laurel, Henrico county
was found yesterday afternoon by boys
from the Orphan Asylum
Strayed far from the right way home,
the horse had wandered into the woods
in the rear Of the Dooley place, and
there on of the wheels of the vehicle
to which It was attached had become
caught in tree fork. The animal had
struggled vainly to free itself from
the circumference, and was nearly
starved when found.
Tried to Ent the Trees.
All the leaves and dried grass within
reach had been eaten to the bare
ground, and even the nearby trees and
brushwood were parked. Water was
entirely beyond reach, and the wonder
Is that the horse could so long sur
vive with such little sustenance.
Mr.. Patrick Elicit. of No. 1924 West

Lacy, was notified by Mr.. Beasely
that the horse had been found, and
relief was sent Immediately.
Mr.. Lacy has searched in vain for

his senses Thursday night. He did
find the friendly farm house, where he
procured hat. but the farmer was

treasured. and started off. Their speed
increased TO that of a locomotive when
