Sergeant KNAUSS went on a hunt for the couple and located them at Lanark, where they had left the car. GRIESEMER was accompanied by his brother-in-law. He denied that he and the girl had intended to get married and that they were only on a little pleasure ride. He said the girl's mother denied her every little pleasure, and, when he proposed the trip the girl gladly accompanied him. The latter also denied that she had any intention of marrying GRIESEMER. The couple was taken to Allentown and at the police station the girl was turned over to her mother. She was satified with this action and would not bring any complaint against GRIESEMER.

BIG FIRE AT TELFORD

One of the most destructive fires that ever visited Telford occurred on Thursday night, when about $25,000 worth of property was consumed. The main buildings destroyed are as follows: M.S. SHELLY's feed store and hay house, North Penn depot, block of three frame houses of Geo. EGOLF, carriage and blacksmith shop of Isaac ALDERFER, hotel stables of W.H. BLANK, barber shop of Harry KELLER, saddler shop of H. KNIPE. About twenty-one buildings were consumed, almost all were built of frame. About 10.30 o'clock the alarm of fire was given and it was at once noticed that the large frame buildings of M.S. SHELLY, alongside of the railroad were in flames. As these buildings are always well filled with hay everyone knew that they were doomed. The fire rapidly spread along the other frame buildings which were close to the hay house and in less than an hour about one acre was one mass of flames. A flying ember set fire to the Telford depot which was directly opposite and it was also destroyed. A block of three dwelling houses owned by Geo. EGOLF, of Philadelphia, were next consumed as well as all the furniture and belongings of the tenants Chas. LEISTER and N. WENHOLD. One was unoccupied. The family of Mr. WENHOLD narrowly escaped with their lives, as they had already retired and they slept soundly when the people tried to awaken them. Had not some one broken in the door and entered their bedroom in order to awaken them they would have perished. The child was carried out of the house ere the father was aware of the existing fire. The barber shop of Harry KELLER and the saddlery of Mr. KNIPE which were in the SHELLY building were consumed with all the contents. The carriage and blacksmith shop of Isaac ALDERFER which was in the rear of the SHELLY Buildings were also totally consumed with contents as well as the stables on the County Line Hotel. The horses were removed as well as some wagons and minor articles. A freight car filled with baled hay and standing on the SHELLY siding was also consumed. Many of the surrounding buildings were at times ignited but by the heroic work of the Telford Fire Company assisted by the Perkasie and Sellersville Fire Companies, they were saved. The County Line and the Telford Hotels were in imminent danger. The firemen were handicapped as their apparatus did not work for some time. The origin of the fire cannot be definitely ascertained as some claim it started in the engine house of Mr. SHELLY and other think a passing freight train threw a hot coal on the roof of the hay house which came in contact with the wood work and caused it to ignite. The loss to the owners of the buildings destroyed is very great as most of them or only partially insured and some of them are not insured at all.

RUNAWAY ACCIDENT NEAR SUMNEYTOWN

Peter SANDERS, the scavenger, residing near Morwood, met with a runaway accident on Monday evening near WENTZEL's hotel, on the Ridge Road, while returning to his home with his team. The harness broke which caused the horses to run away. They ran into a fence which caused a sudden stop which jolted Mr. SANDERS from his seat and he was violently thrown upon the ground. He received several ugly cuts and bruises about his head and face and his leg was severely sprained. Mr. SANDERS was removed to his home by Hiram SCHWENK, who lives close to where the accident happened.

The large shepherd dog of Francis REED, of Sumneytown, on Saturday afternoon bit Catharine, the five-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank DERR, of Norristown. Mrs. DERR and daughter Catharine, were visiting the family of Mr. and Mrs. Jacob JACOBY, at Sumneytown, on Saturday. In the afternoon the little girl noticed the dog in the yard and she started to play with him. She had a fan in her hand and with this she patted the dog when he suddenly jumped at her and caught his teeth in her forehead, causing a number of ugly lacerations. Mr. REED was close by and saw the occurrence. He quickly chased the dog away and rescued the child. The dog was never before known to bite or attempt to bite anyone and he is considered a regular family pet.

THE LARGEST OF LARGE RYE STALKS

Allen F. MOLL, a farmer residing near Corning raised some very large rye this season. He has measured some of the largest stalks and found them to be seven feet and seven inches in length. He has many that reach that length. The seed was sown in October on good democratic soil. Daniel REITER, proprietor of REITER's mill, near Hoppenville, can lay claim to the championship in raising the largest rye stalks in this section. He picked one this week that measured eight feet and five inches. The stalk is on exhibition in his mill, anyone doubting the statement can see it there. T.A. PYLE, a farmer residing in Upper Hanover township, near MARKLEY's mill, raised some very tall rye. He has an acre in which about all the stalks measure from seven to seven and one-half feet. He picked several of the largest out and brought them to this office. We found them to measure eight feet and four inches. Mr. PYLE claims the good Republican soil is the cause of his tall rye.
