express which reached Calvert station Sun
day morning last was young woman OF
prepossessing appearance, who was con-
veyed from the cars by several Of the train
officials and placed in an invalid chair
which the company keeps around the de-
depot for sick passengers. She was in. the
ladies waiting room but q very few mo
ments when she was seized with an epilep-
tic fit, which had been but partly allayed
before a second attack ensued. Proper
remedies being administered she gradually
recovered, and was removed, at her re-
quest, TO the city hospital, IN an ambulance
ordered by Officer Beaver.
PARALYZED.
DR.. Thomas. the resident physic ian
made GIN examination and discovered that
her tongue and lower extremities were par
alyzed, leaving her speeches. and in a
most helpless condition. The lady was
well and neatly dressed, aud of q decidedly
refined appearance. She has a beautiful
and intellectual face, dark brown eyes,
Roman nose and firmly set lips. From
her high forehead profusion Of black
hair is brushed back, and her figure and
features throughout are full of grace and
beauty. She was seen by a reporter, and
asked concerning her strange condition.
She replied By writing the following:
ZEE STORY.
My maiden name was Estelie Russell.
I was adopted when two weeks old by O

1 learn, died some years ago. lived with
this family until attained my fifteenth
year. when became acquainted with Wal
ter Lawrence, young lawyer of st. Paul,
Mimi, and after a short courtship we were
married and went to reside at st. ParI,
where my husband practiced his profess
sion until year ago, when he died, leay-
ing me helpless and with but little means.
Three months before the death of my hus-
band was paraIyzed as you see, becom-
ing burden to everybody. / was the
mother of five children, all of whom are
buried. After the death of my husband /
spent nearly all the little money I had
trying to get cured, but to no purpose.
Finding that my means had given out ]
applied TO the city authorities for aid,
which they refused me and advised me to
go to my native city (Baltimore) and the
authorities here would allow me to enter
the hospital
Much interest is being manifested IN
her condition by the physicians connected
with the hospital, who are untiring in their
efforts to alleviate her suferings. The lady
is entirely friendless, and to the charitable
here is case for the most practical sym
patty and aid
ST. Paul, Mimi, Sept. 20, 1882.
Hon. Edmund Rice, Mayor City of st. Paul,
My Dear Sir: We have made inquiry,
as you requested, concerning tho case to
which you refer in your communication of
yesterday, and can find no trace of the
woman or Of the man Lawrence who rs
said to have belonged to the legal profes-
sion here. No application for relief has
been made TO either DR.. Hewitt or myself
by any such person. regret that so long
a delay should have occurred in respond
ing to your first inquiry, and hope the
above statement will refute the accuse
tons made by the Baltimore press. Very
respectfully yours, O. A. WHEATON,.
