ECCENTRIC MRS. FLYNN.



New York Recorder: Mrs. Annie Flynn
was for nearly half a century one Of the
Of Batavia street. She lived in
the cellar at No. 5 in iiIth and misery and
had nothing to DO with her neighhors, ex-
cept to abuse them occasionally when they
entered her room during her absence TO
clean out the place Mrs. Flynn kept
little apple stand In Washington Market
for twenty-five years and did q very large
trade i'm small way with the butchers
She paid cash for all her ware and ne one
is known who ever got the better Of Mrs.
Flynn at bargain. She was very friendly
with her customers, but had not q word to
say to those who would not buy her fruit.
Her husband died about thirty years
ago and il is said that lac left her a life ln-
slrance policy sufficient to have taken care
of her, but no one ever saw the money,
No one who can remember that she ever
spent any money for food, clothing or
anything else, except the rent ef her
room. This was SS a month and she
has tried every month for twenty-five
years TO get the landlord TO reduce
It. What she did with her money
no one could find cut. Quite often
She would 60 for days without eating
and then the nelghbors would send 1000 tQ
her. She always acted as though she had
a right to the things that belonged to her
neighbors and never thanked anyone for a
favor. During last month she was very
troublesome. She labOred under the delu-
sion that she was the queen of England,
and that the other tenants in the
house were her subjects. She declared
that they were trying TO starve her and
made a complaint to Capt. 0iConnor of the
Oak street station. She finally tried To set
] tire 50 her room, and was taken to the
Chambers street hospital. She raved
wildly about her rights as queen
and after being examined by Drs,
/ Fitch and Field was sent to the lunatic
asylum at Blaokwell's island, She had a
! lot Of Did traps lii her room, and hidden
away i'm an old bundle of carpets were sew
