ROMANTIC SUICIDE.
Two New York Lovers Fulfu Their Prom
 ise and Die Together.

NEW YORK, Sept. 19.-The romantic suicide of Miss Emile Rossi, a German actress, and Gustav Koch, a crayon ar tist, is still wrapped in deep mystery. Both deaths had been premeditated and were the carrying out of an insane resolve. The suicide of each was a most dramatic one.
 At 520 both ended their lives. Koch stepped out on the platform of the elevated railroad station at Canal street. No one paid any particular attention to him. After pacing up and down the station platform several times, he stopped at the south end, when woman put her head out of the third-story window of the Bowery building. He said to her: 'sYes, have come, Emile, are you ready 2" She re, piled in the affirmative and a pistol shot rang out in the air. Koch fell dead on the platform. Immediately second shot was heard in the room occupied by the young woman. The police rushed into the room and discovered the dead body of beautiful lady. A black hole in the breast showed where bullet had entered.
 Emile left letter addressed to her aunt, Mary Knoon, with whom she boarded, in which she spoke about her lover, Koch, Q quarrel with her mother, Q determination of Koch and herself to commit suicide and asking that her body be eremated.
