GRENADA, Sept. 5.—Driving over to Mrs. Marshalt’s, the widow of the Westera Union operator, that atilicted lady was found alive.and well physically, but almost dementea. She has los¢ father, mother, uncle, aunt, her hus- band, snd three .children. Her couversation was wild and disconnected; who could expect otherwise? Goiny from there to the bospital I found eleven patieats, two of whom are little, motherless cmidren. A husband and . wite were Iying in 3 cot nearest the door. The busband looked earnestly st me, as though he were wishing Le, too, wasable to ride about. , The wifé, a fine looking lady, Was alnost datiti-" ous zud scemed entirely unconscious of ker hus- band’s presence.
