MYSTERIOUS MISS PUGH, A Wealthy Young Woman Roaming the Streets at 4 O'Clock A. M. MENTIONS JAMES 6. CARTE, Riding Around the City with a Roundeman in Searoh of Friends, DECLARES SHE IS NOT DEMENTED She Lives in the Upper Part of Harlem and Twice Was in Bloomingdale. When a young woman, refined, and @aid to be of a wealthy family, was found wandering through Fifth avenue, at Clinton place at 4 o'clock this morn- ing, the police of the Mercer street sta- tion did all they could to keep it a wecret. The woman was Miss Grace Pugh. Hi jother is a widow and lives at $43 West One Hundred and Thirty-eighth atreet. Policeman Wiesner noticed the young woman wandering along the avenue. Her aprearance attracted his attention, Bhe ts about twenty-four years old and handsome, with light hair. She was at- tired in - light house dress, and wore thin-soled slippers. She had no hat or cloak, and seemed to be suffering Greatly Yrom cold. At the Mercer street station, to which Miss Pugh was taken,she gave a number af adcresses. One was 144 West Forty- fiftu street, another 27 East Twenty-sec- ond street and a third Washington Heights. | with ner to tre address she gave in| man tn charge sald he ald not know | Forty-nirth street. | After the woman left the station-hou Sergeant Grey was asked about the case. He refused to say anything fur- ther than that the woman was of @ wealthy family, No report was submit- ted at Police Headquarters. At M44 West Forty-fifth street the foundsman learned that the house wi Unoccupied except by a man who looked after it This man knew of Mins Pugh's family, he sald. They were related to ® Mr, Lanyon, the owner of the house, He could not take the young woman in, he said. He declared she lived at One Hundred and Thirty-eighth street and St. Nich- Olas avenue, and suggested that the roundsman take her there, as she must have come from that house during the night. But Miss Pugh would not hear of being taken there. She insisted ehe should not be treated as a person de- mented. She knew what she was do- ing, she sald, even though she did not wish to let everybody know her busi- ness, She wanted to be taken to ‘Twenty-second street. The roundsman ordered the carriage to go to 7 East Twenty-second street No one knew Miss Pugh there, Then the young woman said she had made a mistake, as {t was number 22. Still at number 22 nobody could be found who knew her. This Is a private family hotel. At last Miss Pugh told the roundsman to ask for Mrs, Elihu Chauncey, That lady was aroused. She knew Miss Pugh, she sald, She was a friend of the family. When the finding of the young woman was explained to her, she did not want ser, and told the roundsman to take her to the home of Lawyer Carter. ‘The policeman ald he had gone far enough, and if Mes. Chauncey did not take her, he would be compelled to re- turn to the police station, Mrs, Chauncey admitted the woman. Later in the morning when Mr: Chauncey was seen, she refused all in- formation concerning Miss Pugh or her family. If there was an explanation necessary to make to the police, she sald, it would be made directly to thi Superintendent Futher than that she did not care to speak. At the Forty-fitth street house the DOCTOR'S BILLS SAVED. Upon this | THE WORLI\): ‘TUESDAY EV: anything of the young woman, that si and respected family. The police of the Mercer atreet sta- tion had nothing to my. BSergt. Gray id he could not hold the woman, and ald not seem to think there was any- thing out of the regular in having a Toundsman go about in w carriage with & missing woman, restoring her to her friends, and mace no report to the Cen- tral Office Roundsman Scheviin, who had the \eurly morning rid: with Miss Pugh, says she refused to aprak to him all the time they were in the carriage, except when they were at the Forty-tifth and Twen- ty-second street houses. She seemed ra- tional enough, he sald, but sald the po lice wee taking too much interest in ner. ‘Thin morning a brother of Miss Pugh called at Pollce Headquarters and in- quired for nis sister He was referred to Mrv. Chauncey, of 2 West Twenty sesohd street, for information of her, He declined to talk on the mystery Finally he adaitted his sister bad been M1 and left her home, West One Hundred and Thirty-elghth street, yes: terday afternoon *ugh lives at 822 We ighth str t One Hun: nt, with he John, Onl; : n ort She said Mi Pugh, rally t times was | Last 6 young woman 2 the ser- o sit with her until 10 o'clock, The servant did so and left her at that hou when her brothers came in, They al Ured shortly after that, and this morn- ing Miss Pugh was missing The ser- vant could not tell at what hour she left the house. at the office of Lawyer James C, Car- 64 Wall street, it was eald this tning that for seven years the young woman haa been suffering from insanit She was {r Bloomingdale Asylum on tw me from a@ sanitarium at Litchfeld, Conn. last November, Her brother, Jotin Pugh, is connected’ with the New York Belting and Packing Company, at 18 Park Row.

It Is a time-hon- | ored custom, By ‘midnight the grand ballroom was brillant with gay maskers. Capt Pickett, who went Into the Tenderloin with a determination to keep it straight had his hands full from that time on, with his thirty-fve uniformed men ali over the place, to say nothing of ¢h fifteen detectives up from Headquarters under Inspector McAvoy ‘On. they. came, slender girls, buxom | women and stalwart amazon, each vie- |ing with her sisters in the liberality of her anatomical display. Indeed, one young person set out from the dressing-rooms in a suit of flesh: colored tights, wane everything in the way of trimming; no skirts, no trunks, not even a girdie—a veritable living pic: ture.
