DIR. Luppo, of Los Angeles, California,
who is one of the efficient members of the Howard
medical corps related 10 us yesterday a sad event
which occurred In Fort Pickering. The wife of Mr.
Abadie. French citizen, died some two or three
stricken with the fever DR.. Luppo was called to at
tend them, and all became nearly convalescent. Mr..
Abadie continually brooded on the loss of his wife,
but steadily grew better day On Saturday DR..
Luppo called and found all so far recovered as to
called TO see Nj. Abadie, but, arriving at his
house, found him dead The children say when the
doctor called last on Saturday and went away, their
father dismissed the nurse, and made them bring
him several bottles which DR.. Luppo on examina-
tl0n, found had contained respectively lau0anum,
ergOt and paragOric, but which were nearly empty.
The conclusion arrived at was that Abadie In deep
grief on the loss of his wife, had taken the poison
GUS pOttOnS with the determination OF ending his dis
tress By DEATH -Four children are thus left father
less and mOtherleSs. Dr.. LuppO took possession of
all the valuabes to be found in the house, and put
them in charge of the Towards, of the children
being old enough to take care of them.
