could not swim, else he would have reached
the piling of the bridge; but he managed
10 keep aioat for two or three minutes,
during which time a man ran around from
the roadway west of the bridge to the place
on that structure where the fatal leap was
taken and reached a long pole down to the
unfortunate. 1t was a little too short to
reach him, however, and before anything
further could be done for his assistance his
strength failed and he disappeared. A
messenger was dispatched to the station
house for graphing irons, boat was Sc
cured, and Daniel Gardner and John Shell
lars, after working about twenty minutes,
brought the remains to the surface. The
Coroner was notified and took them in
or 20 years of age, his hair silvery white
and he also wore a full beard, which
reached to his chest. The body was sub
sequently identified as that of Patrick
