Love, DeIirium and Poison.

PIrTsBt'R,i, Pa. june ).
Last night young aud beautiful girl,
about nineteen years of age. named Emile
Leinberger, arrived at the Union Depot
Hotel, and registered her name as being
from Baltimore. She was attirel in u
handsomely made travelling dress, aud
wearing 4 jannry hat, richly trimmed, and
ACCOMPANIED by a gentleman. who, when
she had been assigned to her room, bade
her GOOD evening and retired, remnrking
hat he had met her ON the ears and had
merely attended her to the hotel as an act
of politeness due to "a lady travelling alone.
She went to her room, and had her trunk
sent there, as is ordinarily done, and there
was nothing unusual in her appearance OF
any OF her surroundings. About ; O'Clock
this morning a servant heard heavy, Ia
bored breathing in the room occupied by
the young lady. and the forced respiration
continuing, the door was at length forced
open.
THERE TIE YOUNG TRAVELLER LAY
upon the bed, and near by was phial
containing a small quantity OF morphine,
and a physician states that, Judging from
size of the bottle, the girl must have taken
enough of the drug to have made over
thirty ordinary doses. OF course there
was not, under the circumstances. the
most remote hope OF relieving her from its
effects, and within two hours from this
time it was found she had passed, in
state of stupor, into the realms OF death.
WHY SHE COMMITTED TIE FATAL ACT
is plainly developed by sundry sentences
entered in a note book which was found
on her person. Many of these acknowl-
edged the recei pts OF valuable presents
from Fred Pilot, who was theatrical agent
for Madame Janauschek, with whose party
Miss Leimberger is supposed to have trav-
elled. Among other entries which throw
light on the sad ending Of what should
have been a bright young life are the
following, all written on leaves of the note
book referred to, and evidently penned
more as part of a diary than with the inten-
ton OF sending them to any particular ad-
dress =
EMILIE'S DIARY AND REQUEST.
| have gone to rest; you shall never see me
again, for [ am in a happier land than YOU |
could not live any longer, for [ would die of
grief to know that love the man that does not
love me. and so | had to make an end with me.
Better to die quiet than to die of grief and
trouble. You will never see me again in this
WOflu DuI you VIII see me I'LL aHUileT world,
and that world is Heaven. Keep this a
cret, and never let any one at all get this book,
for it is from
A POOR DYING SINNER;
but take this little book and keep it if you will
do and observe dead persons wish; so keep
this little book. l VIII kiss you thousand
times. Goodbye. God bless you and Madame.
Hoping you will live happier together and will
always remember poor sinner like me,
EMILE.
Then on another geographically writ
ten but a few short minutes before she
concluded to take poison-are written the
following sentences;
81 took my life on this 9TH day of June, 1872,
for the man love. | love a dear man, and no
body can tear him from me, and that man is Mr.,
Fred Pilot"
Some forty dollars were found in the
trunk, also some very fine jewelry, and a
fashionable, costly wardrobe.
