WEsTFIELD, june 3.-Passengers by the
early trains of the Central Railroad Of New
Jersey this morning had their curiosity
strangely excited. On the platform of the
railroad depot at this place was q woman
who walked up and down in condition of
great excitement She appeared to be
about 30 years of age, and was we'll dressed.
To every person with whom she could
speak were made the inquiries " Are you
going to Philadelphia ?" "Will you take
me to Philadelphia 2" sCan you 90 at
once ?" She carried in her hand an enve-
lope on which was the address, 6 Miss Mil
Ter, No. 1909 Pine street, Philadelphia,
and said if anyone would take her to that
place he would receive there any money
that might be expended in car fare. When
asked her name or where she was from, no
information could be obtained beyond the
fact she had friends in New York. She
claimed that no person had any right to ex-
amino her relative to what she considered
was her sown private business" Although
1one of the people of Westfeld had noticed
her about the town, her shoes bore evidence
that she had been walking for some time,
and fatigued look was taken as an indi-
cation that she might have been wandering
in the neighborhood during the night. Be.
yond the fact that she so so persistantly re-
fused to state who she was, or where her
friends lived in New York, no evidence of
mental infrmity was apparent in her fea-
lures or actions, except some slight wild
ness that might be caused by excitement.
As it was not considered entirely 1udicious
to allow the woman to wander away, Con-
stable Marsh kept strict surveillance over
her movements till kindly conductor
volunteered to carry her to her destination.
