education. He spent the night at the lookup,

LouckX, and gave some particulars of his hsto-
~ Saturday morning he was put into the priS-
o1eT'S dock at the city court, as some disposition
had to be made Of him, The court noticed that
Mr. Loucks trembled, and in order rot to do an
injustice, sent for DIR. Bartlett, who made an ex-
animation into his case inside the office Of the
chief DIR. Bartlett reported that the gentle
man had apparently been suffering for some
time from fever with chills, and that he was
quite i'll, his condition having probably been
aggravated by indulgence in alcoholic drinks.
The court put some questions 10 the sick man
he was a dying man, as now appears, and
learned little of his history. From what he told,
and what we have heard from others, his story
Is that of an accomplished man who for some
reason or other had gone 10 the bad. He was at
one time the head of military school IN Chica-
90 and hIS establishment was burned at the
time of the great fire. Since then he has been
teacher in military schools, and it was while
teaching at a large school of the kind at Hud-
son that he made the acquaintance of a son OF
wealthy man Of this CITY. He had wife and
two children at Baton Rouge, La. Daring the
latter part of the war, Mr.. LouckX or Col.
LouckX as he was called, lived in this city aud
taught the gentlemanly artS-sword exercises
and the likc-Io such pupils as offered. 1t is
believed that hes had sisters in BROOKLYN, y. \.

man to the aims house. A gentleman spoke to
Mr. Ruck oldt, at the town agents office. inform.
ing him that as Col. Louckx was sick
the ordinary treatment bestowed upon
Migrants would hardly be judicious
All that day Colonel I.ouckX re-
manned in the lock up until late in
the afternoon, it not having been convenient
to have him removed TO the almshouSe immedi-
ately after the sentence Mr.. Stewart attended
upon him during the day, and, as he gave evil
denee of great suffering and almost total pros
tratiOn of strength, Mr. Stewart gave him, in the
afternoon, some whiskey, which appeared TO
have a good effect. The colonel rallied consd-
erably, and when the poorhouse wagon came TO
the city hall TO take him away MIR. Stewart rode
out with him in order to see that he should be
properly cared for. Mr. Stewart also left word
at the office of DR.. JudSon that the case needed
his attention. DIR. JudSOn prescribed for him,
but on Sunday morning The man was dead. A
citizen called at the office of Charles W. Shelton
and notified him OF his death, suggesting the
proprety of having an inquest. Mr.. Shelton
made call at the police office and town agents
office and concluded that there was nothing in the
matter of the death which called for the formali-
| ty of an investigation. Moreover, the city has
no coroner. We were told yesterday afternoon
| that the intement of the remains had not been
Effected 1t is supposed by the authorities that
the cOlonel's sister is Mrs. Ellen Gray, who lives
