INFATUATION, DISGRACE AND DEATH.
A sensational elopement after tho fashion set by the Princess Ohimay has occurred at Balaton Fueled, a summer resort in tho Carpathians (writes tho Vienna correspondent of tho ‘ Morning Leader ’). Among tho visitors were Prince Ivan Semonowski, described as a descendant of tho former kings of Lithuania, with his two sons and a daughter, aged nineteen. Their Highnesses were in tho habit of visiting a garden restaurant, where a Magyar gipsy orchestra played. One evening Princess Olga Semonowski eloped with one of these musicians, an ugly, repulsive man, forty-nine years of ago. Prince Semonowski and his two sons gave chase, but did not overtake tho fugitive till next evening. They administered chastisement to the man which he is likely to remember all his life, and gave the Princess a loaded revolver, tolling her she had dishonored their name. She committed suicide immediately, and was buried without much ceremony in tho remote village where she was overtaken with her gipsy lover.
