WIZ. swINEFoRo's TRIP.
Probability that ft VIII Be 'se'ess'
and that the Two Missing La
dies are Dead.

Mr.. Howard Swineford. who left here
Thursday afternoon for Johnstown, "a, IN
search OF bis mother and the WiIe OF ms
hrotber Edward, OF st. Louis, both OF whom
were sunposed TO have lost their lives In the
great catastrophe OF May 31st. was expected
10 reach the stricken city yesterday alter
noon.
From the latest advIccs il seems very ccr-
tain that his trip will avail him naught eX'
cept the consciousness OF having performed
the part Of faithful son and having ieit no.
thing undone in the way OF trying 10 sscer'
tain ms mothers fate. This view is con-
hrmed nv s telegram received at his office
Yesterday morning from his brother, who
was already at JohnstOwn, saying that both
ladies lost their lives and that If their bodies
had been found they had been buried wlth'
out being identified.
Tho circumstances connected with what
seems TO have certainly been the fatal trip
with both Of these ladies' were published IN
the Dispatch OF Friday morning. Mrs.
SwiueiOrd, who resides IN Central Iennsyl
yania, had spent the winter in II. LOUIS and
on her return home WAS being accompanied
by her daughter.in-law, who contemplated
amending the summer with her IN the noun
tains OF Pennsylvania. They left II. Louis
the day before the awful disaster and are
supposed 10 have occupied apartments IN one
OF the two sleepers that were swept away
with the Pennsylvania railroad bridge over
the Conemaugh river.
Mrs. STineiord was in Richmond during
the Exposition last fall aud not only those
who knew her but the numerous friends OF
Mr.. Swinciord. one OF our most popular
citizens and public-spirited businessmen,
will deeply sympSthize with him and his
family in their affection.

JOY AT PENITENTIARY.
A MAN WHO WAS DELIGHTED TO GET
WITHIN ITS WALLS,
And Yet He Has to Serve Term OF Eigh-
teen Years. Imprison-
ment.

Aioyiul prisoner was received at the peni-
Tertiary last night.
His name Is John Davis and he is to stay
there eighteen years.
All the same he now breathes freely and Is
fairly happy.
lie was one OF three young colored men
arrested near Crewe, in NOttoway, In May
charged with a burglary in one case ana a
CRIME 3 hundrediold worse (wherein Mrs.
Moran was the victim) in another.
Asto which one was the assaiant OF Mrs
Moran could not be shown. hence true
bin could not be found. But # Is believed
that either Davis or one OF his companions
was the offender.
Night before last mob entered the Not'o.
way Jail took out John Forbes, and lyncned
hun by hanging and shooting
UNHAPPY PRISONERS.
The other two prisoners feared that II they
STAYED in that iail much longer they, too,
would share the same fate hence they Deg
ged srd prayed 10 be taken to the penlienusry.
John Dsyis, who upon trial FRIDAY got
eighteen years for burglary, was brought
here. John Cousins, who was an acconP'lcc
in the burglary and who got five years, was
taken 70 Petersburg jail, his counsel hs'lus
moved for new trlal Tor him.
John Forbes, the man lynehed, had never
been tried at ali; he was used as witness
against The others IL the burglary case. lie
acknowledged the burglary ut Dr. bryant .,
but denied the other crime.
Dsvis and Cousins never admitted any
thing at all.
TIE CRIMINALS.
Torhes who wes lvnched, was from Della
ware: was a tramp, and was about nineteen
wears of age. lie had on handouts and leg
irons when he WAS swung to the tree ana
ridded with bullets
Davis, who was sent here for eighteen
wears for burglary, pleaded ~ bar to con-
yiction IN N0ttoWay that he Wss an escaped
convict from South Carolina. He thought
that plea would secure him safe trip back
TO South Carolina. lie was very wrong
His age is about iwentyiour.
John Cousins, ,he fellow who stood ana
watched while one OF his companions COM
mitted the burglary at Or. Bryants, i
about nineteen, and native OF The county
OF NoitOway.
When the three men were nrSt arrested
the county Judge sent them to the refers
burg Jail for safety, and all excitement
having apparently subslded, he had them
brought back for trial Thursday.
sheriff j. J.. Fowler. who brought DAVIS
here, thinks II possible that an attempt
might have been msde 10 lynch Davis, but
does not believe any such proceeding was
contemplated against Cousins.
