Mr. Howard NwIueford in Search OF
HI Mother ana SisIer.In-LaM.

HIS Mother ana SisIer-in-LaW.
Mr.. Howard S~ineferd LETT on the 1880
train over the YOrk.Rlyer road yesterday
afternoon for JOhnstown, Pa.
His mission il a sad one, as he goes under
the fearful apprehension that his mother,
Mrs Mary A. S~iHefOrd, and the wife OF
his brother, Mr.. Edward A. SWinefOrd, Of
n. Louis, may have met death in the wrecE
Of the train on the Pennsylvania railroad.
Mrs SWineioTd. who Is an old lady, lives
in New Berlin, Union county, Pa. she
spent the winter with her son IN ~. Louis,
and with the latter's wife was returning to
spend the supmer in the mountains OF Cen
trail Pennsylvania. They are thought to
have been passengers on the tram that was
caught by the Hood, and are supposed 10 have
occupied apartments in one OF the two sleep
ers that were burEed.
Mr.. SwinefOrd hsS been telegraphing for
the past two days and has been unable TO re-
ceive auy information Of the missing ladies.
He received dispatch on Wednesday from
bis brother and one yesterday from Mr.
John I. Kennedy. Of Pittsburgh. cousin
Of the Messrs SYlneiord, who had been to
JOhnstOMn, and both be and Mr.. Edward
Swineford seemed Of the opinion that the
ladies' were lost. This was also the opinion
OF the railroad officials 81 JOhnstOWn after
learning the date OF thelr departure from
81. Louis.
TIE ladies started on their Journey east
ward the day before the occurrence OF the
appalling disaster that has brought distress
and grief to the people OF this entire coun.
try. aud there seems 10 be little ground Tor
doubt that they struck the doomed train.
Mr.. Swineiord will get TO Baltimore tbis
morning at o'clock, and will Immediately
take the train for Pittsburgh, where he VIII
arrive tomorrow morning. There he will
be Joined by his brother and Mr.. Kennedy.
and the three will proceed TO JohnstOwn and
nut forth every exeItion to unrayel the dark
mystery, aud will try to find whether their
loved ones heye really been killed, and II 90
secure their bodies If possible.
Dir. SwinefOrd received telegrams yester-
dav from persons with whom his mother and
her daugbter-in.lsw wese 10 have stopped,
making inquiry as 10 their Whereabouts.
This confirms the distressing belief that
they NAV have lost their lives IN the flames.
Mr.. sWineford IL one OF our best and
purest citizens and most public-s spirited
business men: is exceedingly popular, and
in his search for the missing he has the ten
der symnslhies and the best wishes OF hosts
of frleEds.
