Had Shown Symptoms Of Dependency
for Some Time, but Went Bicycle
Riding Last Evening.

Weary OF life, constantly asserting
that she wished she were dead, and
out Of the way, Margaret McHugh last
night sought through suicidal act the
relief from the cares OF this life which
she had prayed for.
Miss McHugh was 22 years OF age,
quite prepossessing, kind and faithful
as a servitor and up to within month
of lively disposition.
Born in Ireland, she had been in this
country five years, four of which she
was employed in the family of John
Ardoene, at No. 211 Friendship street.
Six months ago she became acquainted
with German, whose name and ad-
dress the -Ardoepes- could Act furnish.
Last week she decided to go TO New
York and had her trunk packed before
the family knew of her intentions. They
prevailed upon her not to go To that
city, for she would be in a strange
place without either friends. money or
a home, and the perils of the metropolis
We're too many for homeless girl to
contend with.
While she gave up her intended Jour
ney and promised TO remain i'm the SER
vice of the family, she became more
and more despondent and frequently
was heard to say THAT she wished she
were dead
The Ardoenes moved to neighboring
mousse this week and because Miss Me-
Hughs room was not quite ready for
her u was arranged that she should
continue 10 make use of the one she
had occupied so long in the attic OF
the house, No. 211 Friendship street.
