A telegram dated Winchester, Va., rc- ceived on Saturday by Chief of Police Ben- rer of Hagerstown, marked “rush,” and certaining the request to “stop young girl dressed in blue lawn or green cloth, fuli face, large form, in company with a small, delicate man,” failed of its mission, its in- tent being to intercept an eloping couple, the parties being John Greenawalt, claim- itg Chambersburg, Pa., as his home, and Maud Heary, a very pretty and remarka- bly well developed miss of fourteen years of age, and of a highly respected Winchester family.
