Mrs. Roeller KULP, of Pennsburg, on Wednesday forenoon left her home on Main street for parts unknown, without telling her husband and children of her intentions. Mr. KULP is a cigarmaker employed in the Sultzberger-Oppenheimer factory in this borough, and was at work when she left her home. At dinner time he went to his home for his meal as was his regular custom. When he came there he did not find his wife nor children. Little did he think of this, for he supposed she was visiting her sister in the same borough. So he prepared a meal for himself and left for his work again. In the evening when he came home he found things in the same condition and the fire out, so he looked around the house and found that all her clothing was missing. After coming down stairs he noticed a letter on the sideboard. The letter was addressed to him and the main parts of it are that she was going away, as she could no longer bear the reports circulated about her, that she was afraid if he heard the reports he might do her bodily harm. In two weeks he would hear from her and that she had a lady friend who would keep her informed of what happens around Pennsburg. She also stated that she was innocent of all the rumors circulated. Mr. and Mrs. KULP have two children aged about 4 and 8 years. These she sent to Mr. KULP's mother who also resides in Pennsburg. Before leaving she went into the store and purchased a silk waist, skirt and dress suit case. It is reported that during the last night she stayed here she secured a $10 bill in her husband's trousers pocket, while he slept. Her husband thinks she had only about $20 when she left. On Wednesday morning at about ten o'clock she was seen going down Main street towards Red Hill carrying two dress suit cases and dressed in her best clothes. The supposition is that she walked to the Red Hill depot and there took the train. Up to this time nothing has been heard from her. Mr. and Mrs. KULP have always lived happily together and he can think of no reason for her actions.

Allen JOHNSON, of Red Hill, on Monday, picked up a twenty-four inch carp in the grove of the Queen of the Valley Farm, in Upper Hanover township. The fish was taken from the Perkiomen creek the night before by the high water. It weighed seven pounds and was a monster fish to be found in this section.
For the third time in his life George Clinton MILLER, the twelve-year-old son of H.W. MILLER, of Steinsburg, will celebrate his birthday next Monday. Master MILLER was born on the 29th day of February 1892, and had no birthday until 1896. Since there was no leap-year since then he had to wait eight long years for his third birthday. Although deprived of the ususal annual celebration Master MILLER is an active and promising boy and bids fair to cope successfully with those who are more fortunate in the number of birthdays. Miss Sallie RENNINGER, one of the daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Abraham RENNINGER, of Hosensack, is impatiently awaiting the appearance of Monday, it being her fourth birthday, although she is sixteen years old. She was born on February 29, 1888, and as she had to wait a long time will celebrated this in a manner appropriate to the occasion. The deficiency of birthdays for these young people results from the fact that the time which the earth revolves around the sun is not an exact multiple of the time of its daily rotation, it is necessary to add an extra day periodically, to prevent confusion in the calendar. But the addiiton of one day every four years if too large, and it was therefore established by Pope Gregory XIII, in 1582, that those years which are divisible by four should be leap years, except the years ending centuries, of which those only that are divisible by 400 should have the additional day. Those people who have been suffering from this deficiency of birthdays may console themselves when they are assured that the thing will not happen to them again until the year 2100.
The three-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Clayton H. DETWILER, residing between Sellersville and Telford, ate about twenty-five stryshnine pills, thinking they were candy, and died shortly thereafter. The little one had been on a visit to J.M. OBERHOLTZER, a neighbor and was playing around the house. Mr. OBERHOLTZER had some strychnine pills lying on the window seat which the girl evidently saw while romping about the house. After seeing them she started to devour them, thinking they were candy. This was done unnoticed to the members of the household. Shortly after this the tot was noticed to become stiff, which alarmed the OBERHOLTZER family and a physician was consulted. As soon as the condition of the child was stated to the physician he said she ate some strychnine pills and an antidote was administered. This was too late and the child died about forty-five mintues afterwards. The box of pills were not labeled, and had they even been labeled the child would not have known the difference.
Though suffering agony from burns on her hands and arm, Miss Anna V. KLINE, of Allentown, daughter of Professor H.A. KLINE, fought a splendid battle, on Sunday, to save her home from destruction by fire. Miss KLINE and her mother were both ill, and the young woman arose in the night and tried to heat some turpentine and lard over a gas jet. The turpentine caught fire and was scattered about the room, some of it falling on Miss KLINE's hands and arms, where it burned itself out. The curtains blazed up, but Miss KLINE begged her mother to remain in bed and to keep perfectly cool. The young woman then collected her jewelry and removed it to another room, after which she telephoned to the Fire Department. When she returned to her room she found the window frame in flames. She battled with the fire for several minutes until it reached her mother's bed, when mother and daughter fled out of the house and screamed for help. A number of the neighbors responded and put out the fire.

George Wellington LUTZ (picture). The Pennsburg, Huber's and Sassamansville Reformed congregations which were recently constituted by the Goshenhoppen Reformed Classis as the Pennsburg charge, held an election on Sunday to determine if they will extend a call to George W. LUTZ, who is a student at the Reformed Theological Seminary, Lancaster, Pa., to serve as their pastor on the completion of his studies. Two hundred and five votes were cast of which one hundred and ninety-six were for and nine against Mr. LUTZ. Mr. LUTZ is a gentleman of wide experience for his age and shows great ability. All who know him intimately predict a bright future for him. He was born at Steinsville, Lehigh county, on June 26, 1876, while a boy he attended the public schools of his native township. In 1891 he became a student in telegraphy and for several years worked for the P. & R. and the L.V. Railroads. In the Spring of 1895 he graduated with honor from the public schools and followed teaching for two terms. In the Fall of 1897, he entered the Freshman class of Muhlenberg College, Allentown. When the Spanish-American War broke out in the Spring of 1898, Mr. LUTZ enlisted as a volunteer in Company B, 4th Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteers Infantry, and later on saw active service with his regiment in Porto Rico. While in service in the army he was detailed, successively as orderly to Col. CASE, Regimental Clerk and Regimental Post Master. On returning from Porto Rico, Mr. LUTZ was mustered out of service on November 16, 1898. He at once re-entered the Sophomore Class of Muhlenberg College. In the Fall of 1899, he entered the Junior class of Franklin and Marshall College, Lancaster, and graduated in 1901, with second honor, delivering the Franklin Oration at commencement. He became a student in the Theological Seminary of the Reformed Church, at Lancaster, in the Fall of 1901 and expects to graduate on May 4, of this year. While at College, Mr. LUTZ was a member of the Goethean Literary Society and was one of the orators at the annual anniversary. He was always an enthusiast in athletics, having played right end on the "varsity" foot ball eleven for four years. For the past three years he has held the position of coach for the football and baseball teams of the Franklin and Marshall Academy. At present with his work at the Seminary he is serving as Professor of German at the Cotta College, a Lutheran female college at Lancaster and as supply pastor of the Pennsburg congregation of the Pennsburg Reformed charge, which positions he has filled very acceptably.
The children of Mrs. Elwood HEACOCK, of Skippack, on Wednesday forenoon set fire to the house while playing with the fire in the stove and only by the heroic efforts of Mrs. HEACOCK and several of the neighbors was the house and children saved. She did her washing in the morning and was out in the yard hanging out the wash, while her three children remained alone in the house. During her absence the children began to play with the fire in the stove and ignited the carpet. When Mrs. HEACOCK returned she found the room dark with smoke and could not see her children. She heroically entered the room and groping about in the darkness found two children which she carried out, but the baby she could not get until after making several unsuccessful attempts. It was in a coach and it was already in flames. Mrs. HEACOCK then called her neighbors for help, and Henry H. KRATZ came at once. He was unable to get into the room on account of the dense smoke. After more help arrived, buckets of water were filled and a window sash was smashed in and water thrown on the fire in this manner. It was soon under control, but not until some of the furniture in the room was badly damaged. The floor was nearly burned through. The Skippack Fire Company also responded to the call of fire but their services were not needed any more. Mrs. HEACOCK's cheeks were almost blistered by the fire and the baby's ears were burned so badly that they had blisters.
John TYSON, aged 20 years, a prominent young man of Upper Gwynedd township, met a horrible death on Saturday morning in his father's creamery at Drake's Corner, about one mile west of Lansdale. Young TYSON was operating a separator, running at a very high speed, when suddenly it burst, the flying fragments going in every direction. The major part of the machinery struck TYSON with such force as to sever the legs and mutilate the body. Death was instantaneous. TYSON was the only one in the Creamery at the time of the accident, and with his death is sealed the direct scenery at the time of the bursting, and is inferred that the separator was being run at too high a speed. The noise of the bursting brought the young man's parents and several neighbors to the scene. The parents are frantic with grief, and anxiety is felt as to the effect of the shock upon them.
George WEBER, of Centre Point, Worcester township, met an untimely death on Sunday evening, by drowning while trying to ford the Skippack creek, near his home. He was about 21 years of age and a son of J.D. WEBER, the storekeeper at Centre Point, and assisted his father in the store. On Sunday night, he was obliged to cross the creek at a late hour in order to reach his home and the heavy rain during the day had caused the stream to be very much swollen. He evidently did not think the stream to be so dangerous and after he drove into the stream the swiftly passing current took him and his team along. On Monday morning his horse and wagon were found lying along the banks of the creek, the former having been drowned. Searching parties started in at once to hunt Mr. WEBER, and worked hard all day but did not find the body. Early Tuesday morning a new party began the search and divided itself into several delegations. Many of the new searchers were members of the Centre Point P.O.S. of A. Lodge, of which the unfortunate man was a member. At noon the body of WEBER was found by a member of the party.
Mrs. John HUNTER who lives at Schollenberger's Mill, near New Berlinville, Berks County narrowly escaped a horrible death by being cremated alive. She was carrying a lamp when it exploded, throwing the burning oil over her dress. Luckily her husband was close by and he grabbed a bucket of water and threw the contents over her. After quenching the flames it was ascertained that she had received painful burns. Mrs. HUNTER, for a few days after the accident, suffered from nervousness brought on by the excitement.
