Madame Janauschek'sM Maid Taking
her Life for the Man she Loved.

PITTsBURG, June 5.-bast night a
young aud beautiful girl about nineteen
years Of age, named Emile Liemberger,
arrived at the Union Depot Hotel, and
registered her name as being from Balti-
more. She was attired in handsomely
made travelling dress, wearing,s jaunty
hat, richly trimmed, and accompanied by
gentleman, who, when she had been
assigned 20 her room, bade her good
evening and retired. remarking that he
bad met her on The cars and had merely
attended her to the hotel as an act Of
politeness due to lady travelling alone.
She went 10 her room and had her trunk
sent there, as is ordinarily done, and
there was Rotbing unusual in her ap-
pearance or any Of her surroundings.
About three o'clock this morning a
servant heard heavy, labored breathing
in the room occupied by the young lady,
and the forced respiration continuing,
the door was at length forced open.
There the-young traveller lay on the
bed, and nAr BY was q phial containing
a small quantity Of morphine, and a
physician states that, judging from the
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 that she had
passed in a state Of stupor into the
realms OF death. Why she had COM
mitted the fatal act is plainly developed
by sundry sentences entered in a note
book which was found on her person.
Many Of these acknowledged the receipt
of valuable presents from Fred. Pilot,
who was theatrical agent for Madame
Janauschek, with whose party Miss
Liembeger is supposed to have travelled.
Among other entries which throw light
upon this sad ending of what should
have been bright Young life are the
following, all written on leaves of the
notebook referred to, and evidently
penned more as part Of diary than
with the intention of sending them to
any particular address:
" ] have gone to rest; you shall never
see me again, for | am in 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. Bet
ter to die quiet than to die for grief and
trouble. You will never see me again in
this world, but you will see me in another
world, and that world is Heaven. Keep
this as secret, and never let any one at
all get this book, for it is from poor,
dying sinner; but take this little book
and keep it, if you will do and observe
a dead persons wish; so keep this little
book. l will kiss you thousand times.
Goodbye. God bless you and Madame.
Hoping you will live happier together,
and will always remember a poor sinner
like me. EMILE"
Then on another page - probably
written but a few short moments before
she concluded to take poison--are the
following sentences;
II took my life on this 9TH day of
June, 1872, for the man love. love a
dear man. and nobody can tear him from
me, and this man is Mr.. Fred. Pilot.
Some forty dollars were found in the
trunk; also some very fine jewelry and
fashionable, costly wardrobe.

The Zanzibar Hurricane.

The hurricane which took place at
Zanzibar on the 18th OF April was far
more disastrous than at first reported.
One account says that, besides the ship
ping, all the Glove and cocoanut planta-
tions are for the present completely
ruined, and it will take very many years
before the damage suffered by the es-
tates can be repaired, and the inhabit-
ants can scarcely escape famine. The
unusual veering of the wind from WSW
TO S made it not a little puzzling in the
absence Of trustworthy data from other
points, in the track Of the hurricane, to
fix its center with reference TO the town
of Zanzibar, and trace its course. But
If the accounts from Bagamsyo and
Kokotoni are to be depended on, it would
appear that its direction was from N. Z.
TO s. W.; that its center passed nearly
over the Town, Kokotoni and Bagsmayo
being nearly equi-distant from the
center, the former twenty and the
latter twenty-five miles north Of the
vortex. The radius of the storm was
probably limited to a small area, bui
the authentic data are necessary
to complete its extent With accuracy.
Another account states that the loss in
the harbor of shipping and native craft
was very great When the storm began
there we're at anchor in the harbor the
following ships, etc. The Shah Alum,
frigate; the Secunder Shah, corvette; the
Ell Aladjidi, screw steamer, formerly the
Sea King, or Shenandoah; the Sultana,
screw steamer; all belonging to the
Sultnn Of Zanzibar, as well as several
small steamers; the Adele Oswald
from Hamburg, the Bushire merchant
country ship, from Bombay; The Lobelia,
from London, 623 tons; the Abydos,
steamer, Of London. besides about $50

THE TRIBUNE.
hr. Reid 70 be Retained as Controlling
EditOr-POOr COlfax's Proposition
almost Kicked 0Ht-rhe Future
OeHdSol Of the Paper.

NEW YORK, December I5.-The
IftOHte'S trustees held a meeting Fri
day evening, every member being pres
emit Mr.. Sinclair brought forward the
! Colfax proposition, but It received the
I support of only himself and one other,
SIX OF the eight trustees opposing It, and
sustaining Mr.. Reid's conduct Of the
I paper, and urging that be be retained,
with no instructions save to continue
carrying out the policy Of Mr., GreeIey's
card. lt was settled that no change
would be made in the policy of the pa
per, as Mr.. Greeley left ii without any
ehSnge in the controlling proprietOrship.
Air. Sinclair then went to work TO make
up pool of outside stockholders, to sell
The controlling interest. 1t is understood
that he, with DIR. Aver and the repre-
sentatives of the estates Of one or two
deceased proprietOrs, not including Mr..
Greeley's, have nearly or quite made up
the hfty-one shares needed, and propose
selling at the rate Of million dollars, to
q combination representing the tele-
graph and the administration interests.
Mr.. Reid said that in case the pro-
prietorship and policy should be thus
changed, he would also sell his
four shares, and at once retire. IT has
transpired to-day that in the trustees
meeting Mr.. Reid protested against
Dir. SinclaiT's proposal to abandon the
ground on which Mr.. Greeley placed
the paper in his card, resuming the
editOrship. He said Mr.. Sinclair
was the last man who ought to
do this injustice to Mr.. Greeley's |
memory, because it was through |
Mr.. Sinclair's solicitation, long con-
tinued, that Mr.. Greeley finally consent |
ed to become a Presidential candidate. |
Mr.. Sinclair admitted this, but said be |
urged Mr.. Greeley to it, and wrote let 1
tiers over the country TO further /
Mr.. Greeley's chances at Gin /
cinnati, because he knew that |
Mr.. Greeley would not support |
Grant, and thought the next best thing /
was to get him to be a candidate him
self. Mr.. Reid said he himself had not |
favored Mr.. Greeley's candidacy, and |
had discouraged Mr.. Greeley from it |
nearly up to the time when Mr.. Greeley
directed him TO 60 to Cincin-
matt as his representative, but
he believed in the Cincinnati
platform, as Mr.. Greeley did, and would
not remain in charge of the Tribune if
that platform were opposed, and the pO-
sitiOn in which Mr.. Greeley placed the
paper by his card and his latest writings
was fatty abandoned, as he understood
TO be now proposed.

a TREASURE-HOUSE OF ART.

A Florence letter, speaking of the de-
parture of the Grand Duchess Constan-
tine for Nice, observes:
IA great cause of establishment to the
august traveller during her stay at San
Donate, was to see that residence,
which is without a rival in Tuscany,
quite unaffected in its internal decOra-
tons by the successive sales at its ex-
pense made by the late Prince de De-
midoff. All the artistic world must re-
member the last of those dispersions, in
1870, when the auction produced no less
a sum than five millions of francs. But
the riches contained in that palace
which the Princess Troubetzkot once
called the Rendezvous Of Museums
wore in such profusion that the voids
thus made are unperceived. 1t is true
that the building is like one of the pal
aces of the Emperor of China, being
quite a town in itself Besides the gall
leries of works of art, there are maya
zines containing duplicates Of all the
furniture, gas-works, bakery, laundry,
ETC., for the service both Of the palace
and ofthe guests, and, lastly, two church.
es-one Catholic and the other Greek
for the use of the inmates. As for the
stables and the coach-houses, which
contain vehicles of all kinds, including
the state carriages used at the marriage
of Prince AnatOle de Demidofr with the
Princess Mathilde, the equal of them
are only to be found at Versailles
