mis-, Esq, Deputy United States Marshal of
Ohio, arrived in this city last Wednesday
night, having in charge notorious robber,
named George Swayze, indicted by the Grand
Jury of the United States District Court, of
this District. for robbing the mail Swayze
belonged to gang of the most adroit villains
that even infested Pennsylvania. In conjunc-
ton with two others he planned and executed
daring mail robbery, nearly two years ago,
for which two of the gang were convicted and
sentenced. Swayze fed into Ohio, but was
so hotly pursued by the officers of justice, that
he actually committed larceny in Trumbull
county, for the purpose of getting out of the
reach of the officers. He succeeded in get
ting into the Penitentiary at Columbus, where
in he was incarcerated until last Wednesday,
when, on the expiration of his sentence, the
papers were already with Dennis, to take him
to the scenes of his former rascality Pitts

A Thrilling Scene.

A Washington correspondent. of the
Pennsylvania Enquirer, writing under
date of the 3lss Of August, relates The
following ,hriIliI g incident:
You have seen many accounts Of late
burg!aries in this community, exceed.
ingly daring and ingenious. Within The
last W weeks, q gentleman on a visit TO
This city, wal entertained a, a friends
house, in which the arrangements were
such that il was necessary to lodge him
in a small back parlor on the second floor,
there being no sleeping apartment. in the
main or front building below The third
story. Early in the night, the lady Of
the house became suddenly and seriously
indisposed, but found relief before mid.
night, when all became quiet throughou.
the house. A. about two o'clock, the
guest was aroused from a brief sleep by
a slight movement in the passage or hall
below, and supposing that the wife Of
hrs friend or host had again been taken
i'll. he stepped lightly from his bed, but
was Immediately conscious Of the al.
tempt OF some one TO open the door of
his room. He, in an instant, seized q
little rotary companion or his travels, set
its ears back. and stood for a
before the door; bot hearing the intruder
setreatine steal,hily down the stair case,
the head Of which vas near his door, he
opened the door. and leaned over the
balusters in time to distinguish the figure
OF q man pressing itself 10 the darkness
Of a corner at the foot of the stairs. He
pointed his revolver ut the crouching
figure. took az good aim as his half
guessing figure, would permit, and re.
manned in this position long enough 10
reflect upon the deed he was almost
resolved TO commit. The person he
was abou. TO shoot would no, shoot him,
because of the certain apprehension thar
would follow; the explosion Of his pistol
would alarm The entire family, and per.
hsps produce serious, ii no, fatal effects
on the nerves Of the invalid lady In the
apartment, above his own. With q few
moments reflection cam: a change Of
purpose.
The man at the foot OF the stairs sill
crouched; the sentinel a, the head of The
stairs still pointed the deadly weapon .,
the darkened corner below. Time passed
on; il seemed long. but, sill; 1t passed on.
while the watchers tried 10 gaze through
the darkness at each other. Al length
came the bare consciousness Of increas.
ing light, the day began to dawn. and ito
uncertain. grayish light stole into the
window behind the vigilant sentinel. and
more freely through tie casemen, over
the street door. But the thief still
%crouched, and The sentinel still aimed The
muzzle Of his deadly weapon towards
him. A length, a. the ligh. increased.
a voice came from below, halt in whisper.
II uttered the name of the senlinel,
again and again. "Who are ynu?" was
responded. A name was uttered. The
weapon was laid upon the step. and two
brothers clasped each others hand-the
one strong. erect, proud. wealthy ond res
pecsed; the other fallen. depraved. dis
.graced and wre,ched. Proofs of this
statement will never be given to the
world, and they may doubt it il whose
family there has never been q fallen
member.
