and its Consequences.


From the Pittsburg Gazette, June Is.


Early yesterday morning a very sad
and touching tragedy occurred at the


Union Depot Hotel. A strange young


lady committed determined suicide, the
fatal act being, without doubt, brought
about by dependency on account of un
Election.


On Monday morning about nine o'clock
a gentleman and young lady entered the
Union Depot HOTEL the former telling
the clerk that the lady desired room
He further stated that the lady was
stranger to him and that he had only
casually made her acquaintance while
travelling in the same car on the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad. After room had been
secured and the lady name registered as
Emile Leinberger of Baltimore, the gen
tleman left. The young lady was at
once shown to her room and her baggage
sent up after her. Throughout the day
she only left the room to eat her meals,
and then nothing particular was noticed
in her appearance or manners.


About three o'clock yesterday morn
ing one of the chambermaids thought she
heard heavy breathing in the laay's
room. Becoming alarmed ani fearing
that something serious had happened, the
domestic at once summoned assistance
and the room was entered. The poor
young lady was discovered to be lying
on her bed in an insensible condition and
apparently in the article Of death. DR..
Dickson was Immediately summoned and
on his arrival he at once discovered that
Miss L was suffering from the effects Of
an overdose of some powerful narcotic
On searching the room a vial was found
with some twenty grains of morphine
remaining in it. The remainder of the
contents, some forty grains, had been
taken by the unfortunate young lady
dose which was more than sufficient to
produce death The usual remedies were
applied and every yihing done to restore
life but she did not recover sensibility,
and at FIVE O'Clock yesterday morning
departed this life


Acting Coroner Neubert was summon
ed and an inquest held, the verdict being
that death resulted from an overdose of
narcotic poison administered by her own
hands.

with fine clothing, jewelry. &c had be-
louged to her Various letters and pa
pers were found among its contents, from

Iaents abou4 herself and about her in-
