The dead bodies of man and "A woman

The report Is to the effect that the

feet from the island shore, while the
body of the woman, which was found a
little later. was discovered on the beach,

the first body was floating.
The woman WAS dressed in the regula-
ton blue and white-spotted calico uni

the Almshouse stamp.

an inmate of the Metropolitan Hospital,

the woman was Mary Cannon, eighty
years of age, who had been an inmate
since May. 1889. She formerly lived at
S45 Greenwich street. They claimed that
she accidentally fell into the river Tues
day, but failed to say why they had neg
