A CURIOUS CASE.
A Young Englishman Mysteriously
Gets Rid Of Considerable Money.

A Young Englishman Mysteriously
Gets Rid of Considerable Money.
RICHMOND, Va, Dec. S.-A curious
case is that of John F. Swineburn. a
young Englishman, who recently.resiled
in Chesterfield county who is said to
have mysteriously gotten rid of a thous-
ands of dollars sent him from England
by his mother. The young MN in
question came to America in response to
an advertisement of asconcerning in Mon
treal Offering to secure positions for
young Englishmen who were DESTROYS of
learning the American mothod of farm
ing.
Arriving in Montreal young Swine
burn was sent to Covington, Va, where
for time, he says, instead of being i'm
structed in farming, his life was one of
drugery. 1t is alleged that he there fel,
in with man from this city, q represen
ative of an excellant family, who induc>
e young Swineburn to go with him to
Centralia, in Chesterfield county. There
they engaged in poultry raising.
Swineburn vote often to his mother, a
wealthy English lady, telling her of his
prospects and always asking for money
to enable him to give his business a good
start. 1t is said that she sent thousands
of dollars at time. Not only did the
money disappear as fast as it was receiv-
ed, but Swineburn's health began to
fail him. Friends took an interest in
his case and about a week ago he was
started to his old home in England.
Previous to his leaving this section it is
stated that his condition was such for
two months that food would not remain
on his stomach.
Mr.. c. B. Richardson, the druggist at
Chester accompanied Swineburn to
New York to see him safely off. Mr.. Rich
ardson had suspected that the young
man had been duped and robbed, and
in New York Swineburn made sensa-
tional disclosures in an affidavit, which
was witnessed by three of the leading
members of the Young Mems Christian
Association Of that city. This affidavit
is now in Mr.. Richardson's possession.
In it the yOnng man states that his life
at Centralia was clouded in mystery
He remembered very little that occurred
while there. To the best of his knowl-
edge he was kept systematically drunk
and where his money went he did not
know, Before leaving for England Mr..
Swineburn gave Mr.. Richardson power
of attorney in his affairs and the Chester
druggist intends to probe the matter to
the bottom. Thus far no evidence has
been obtained. however, duplicating any

The origin of the symbol ''cwt," for
hundredweight is as follows: G is the
initial letter of the Latin word 'centum,"
meaning hundred, and W.T. are the first

Virginia War Maps.

Major Jed. Hotchkiss, of Staunton,
has forwarded the last instalment of the
numerous maps made by him during
the war to Secretary of war Eikins, for
the use of the Government. Major
Hotchkiss has been busily engaged for
some time past, says Yosts Weekly, in
arranging these maps to conform with
the changes which have taken place
since they were originally prepared, and
has also added full explanatory notes
to the entire series. The publication of
these maps will be proceeded with at
once, and they will form valuable ad-
dition to the works in this line already
issued. Secretary Elkins offered to pur-
chase the maps, but Major Hotchkiss
declined to sell them, preferring to allow
the Government to make use of them
without charge, and retaining possession
of the originals himself.

U. s. Laws Governing Subscrip>
tions to Newspapers.

tiOnS to Newspapers.
We print the following postal laws in
relation to subscriptions to newspapers.
periodicals, &c. It will be observed that
Publishers have rights the public are
bound to respect. They read thus:
81 Subscribers who do not give ex-
press notice to the contrary, are consid-
cred as wishing to renew their subscrip-
ton.
So If subscribers order the discontin-
uance of their periodicals, the publisher
may continde to send them until all ar
rearages are paid.
49, If subscribers neglect or refuse to
take their periodicals out of the post
office to which they are directed, they are
responsible until they have settled their
bills and order them discontinued.
a. If subscribers move to other
places without informing the publisher,
and the papers are sent to the former
address they are held responsible.
s5. The courts have decided that re-
fusing to take periodicals from the Office
or removing and leaving them uncalled
for, is prima facie evidence of intention
al fraud.
IS. Ifsubscribers pay in advance they
are bouLd to give notice at the end of
the time; otherwise the publisher is au-
thorized to send it, and the subscriber
will be responsible until an express no.
tice, with payment of all arrearages is
sent to the publisher.
81. The latest postal laws are such
that newspaper publishers can arrest
any one for fraud who takes a paper and
refuses to pay for it. Under this law
the man who allows his subscription to
run along for some time unpaid and orr
ders it discontinued, or orders the posts
master to mark it refused" and has
postal card sent notifying the publisher
leaves himself liable to arrest and fine,
the same as theft.

Treasury Investigation.

WASHINGTON, Dec. ia meeting of
the committee of ways and means was
held this morning to consider the reso-
luton of investigation into the financial
condition OF the Treasury department.
Preliminary to the inauguration of the
inquiry into the stains Of national finan-
ces resolution lefe rring the various
the appropriate committees was approx
ed and ordered to be presented to the
House for adoption.
There was some discussion as to the
manner in which the inquiry into the
condition OF the treasury should be pur-
sued by the committee, some favoring
an investigation by the entire commit
tee and others believing results could be
exploited by assigning the work to o sub
committee. The matter was finally sete
resolution, presen1e ed by Mr.. Wilson, of
West Virgini&
"Resotoed, that the inquiry devolyed
upon the committee by the resolution
adopted by the House on the 18th inst
be conducted by q subcommittee to be
composed of five members, consisting of
the chairman and four members APP
pointed by him.
The committee will be announced by
Chairman Springer before the holiday
adjournment.
Mr.. Wilson said today that he had
drawn up the resolution with very great
care aud that it was more sweeping and
aimed at more than was apparent ON th;.
surface. His idea was that the commit
tee would be able to discover the exact
condition of the government finance,
and that their work would supply the
next Congress with all the information
which could be had from examination of
the books in the Treasury Department.
Moreover, he regarded it as important
before the change of administration that
there should be general sort of an ia
ventory taken. He said that he wanted
to find out if any change had been made
in the form of debt statement, and if so =,
why it was made; what available appro
priations were still unpaid; If there had
been any change in the classification of
funds designated fer special purposes,
and if these funds had been regarded as
available for purposes other than those
for which they were specially provided
In other words, he said, they pro1nstd
to discover, if possible, the exact co,i,i;~
ton OF the treasury and to ascertain il -
the methods which had been in vo.s1.4
during the last administration. The
committee on ways and means of the
House, he said, would begin franinA. /.
tariff bill to so revise the tariff as no.
only to reduce the duties materially, bnr
perhaps, to increase the revenues, ara
he hoped that this investigation wou!si
give them such information as would il,
dictate just what they have to provide
for.
