WHERE is LIZZIE BEEBE ?
A Sandy Hook Pilots Daughter
Runs Away from Home.

To the long list of mysteriously missing
young girls must be added the name OF
sixteen ear-old Lizzie Beebe. of Long
Branch, daughter of Pilot Beebe, of Sandy
Hook.
Her disappearance dates pack two weeks
ago, and the circumstance attaching to
it indicate plainly that the young woman
planned her departure from the parental
roof with more or less elaboration.
1t is strongly limited that a colored
servant girl in the Beebe household
numed Berry aided her young mistress
not q little in fleeing from home.
Two or three days prior TO her disap-
pearance Miss Beebe is known to have
purchased q trunk at Whites harness
factory in Long Branch.
The servant Berry acknowledged to
receiving this trunk after first strenuously
denying that she knew anything whatever
about Miss Beebe's escnpRde. and it was
only when warned Of possible trouble for
herself that the colored woman made the
admission.
A letter dated at Saratoga was sent
within a few days by the absent young
woman to one of her Long Branch
Mends. The peculiar creasing of the
envelope causes a suspicion that Lizzie
first inclosed this letter to some person IN
Saratoga who remailed it thence to Long
Branch.
Here is an extract from the letter:
l see they have my name IN the papers
and have a detective looking for me. but !
suppose you will be surprised To know that
the man l was keeping company, with was
| told him 1 had run away from home he
asked me TO marry hun then. SO l did. We
were married last Monday b. a Catholic
years old and very wealthy. We will start
To-day and travel around the word.
/ have all the clothes | want and
all the moTey want, have a mad to wal,
loves the ground walk ON and | really love
him. My husband gave ms q dress that cost
vi. o and another that cost 81, 900; so
you see | have everything i want. After We
have been around the world we are gong To
live in Europe. and they need not waste any
m ney upon detectives looking for me. for
/ foundo out before ] got married that they
could not do anything with me.
Wearying of searching for his daughter
without success Pilot Beebe placed the
case in the hands of Private Detective
Fuller.
An EVENING WORLD reporter visited
the detective agency TINS morning. In
Mr.. Fuller's absence n operator in
charge had very little to communicate.
~ know scar ely anything about this
case, " he replied to the reporters query.
- AR. Fuller is AWAY. ! believe, in Sara
toga. / believe though me has located the
girl. but cannot tell you just where.
"You see the case IL hardly in shape TO
give to the newspapers as yet. There's
a word of truth, however, in the state
ment that Miss Beebe ran away to Jersey
City with q man."
How about this letter which she is
supposed TO have written from Saratoga ?
You say Mr.. Fuller is in Saratoga. Is it
in connection with the Beebe girls alb
sence ?"
" That's not so about that letter from
Saratoga. / think Mr.. Fuller did go to
Saratoga, but ! can say no o about the
case, except I've heard that the girl has
been located.
81 don't imagine that the girls father
will care TO have much publicity given to
this matter and | cannot tell you any
thing additional"
At Long Branch the story of Miss
Besbe's marriage to a devoted but aged
lover Is discredited, as noueo Of her friends
have any knowledge OF her venerable
suitor,
