St---- She Had Been Divested of Her Clothing Which Was Bundled Up With Her--Were Apaches Busy. Lyong, July 4.~Excitement has Len created in this city by the discovery of the corpse of a woman in a sack, The aflair is very mysterious. A cou- jlo of workmen were up hetimes, as they were starting for a day in the country, whet. they noticed a large sack lying in g street. On examination they found the dead body of a woman doubled up in. it, so off they hastened to" the nearest police station. Careful inspection by several officials who hur ried to the spot revealed the fact that there was no trace of wounds, but that the poor woman's hair had been cropped quite close. The corpse was promptly idectiil as that of a mar- ried woman, twenty-six years of age, dwelling at Lyons, and soon a visit was paid to the house. 'lhe husband was asleep in bed, and when he was told of the tragedy, ho cried. "My wife dead ? My wile murdered ? Oh, that impossible." He then gave clear and precise answers to tho ques tions put to him by the judicial au- thorities. He stated that he was em- ployed in a local manufactory, and that on his return from work at noon on the previous day he had miss d his wife and had been busy until bel- time in searching for her. Friends and acquaintances on their side report that the couple werd on vety affectionate terms, the hus- bend has not been molested, and, in- deed, is actively assisting the officials in their investigation. All that the wifo did on the fatal morning has been ascertained. At half-past eleven o'dlock she returned from the mar ket, whither she had gone to buy pro- visions for the day, but after that hour nothing was seen of her. If she was murdered at home thie must have heen during the isterval preceding her hushand's return from work, but it appears more likely that she went out again, unnoticed by the neighbors.

Rome, July 4.--Ina modest hidden in a maze of alleys in a burb of the city of Perugia strange ceremonies, it is reported, take place, and rites are celebrated. The house was frequented by women of the suburb, and now and again by some damsel who had been crossed in love, or some wile who was jealous of her husband. 'Lhe police heard vague rumors of the(proceedings, but had not until now succeeded in probing the mystery. Yesterday a chauffeur who was ac- companied by a grdom carrying under his arm a bundle of papers, stopped his automobile opposite: the myster- ious house, the doors of which were closed. The car had, apparently, broken down. 'The chaufieur and the groom, who were actually police agents in disguise, left their maekine and knockeg at the door to ask for ga pair o pliers. The door was opened by a woman, who, suspecting nothing, was going in search of the desired implement, when the two men held her back, entered the house and shut the door in her face. Strange and terrible was the aspect of the interior. The walls were hung with mysterious symbols, human skulls and erpssed bones, bottles, large and smail; swords of strange shapes, heads of dogs, eats and other animals and, in fact, all the- txaditional im- plements of medieval wilcheraft, A thorough search wal made and several hooks were found Yontaining a quantity of various invocations to the evil one.

Saturday Sessions Being Held-- Government Bill Manufacture and .Sale Opium Except For. Medicina Purposes. From Our Own Correspondent. Ottawa, July 4.--All day vesterday the elections bill held the attention of the house, and the same will probably vecur to-day, for . the commons ally now meet on Saturday until the end of the session. The government na dropped the contentions clause regard- ing' the Manitoba voters' lists, but maintains. its attitude of determnina- tion to def! with New Ontario. Mr. Borden 'claims that this is simply to include the employees of the National Transcontinental railway. Mr. Borden, Yesterday, protested against the government's dilatoriness in bringing down its legislation. The opposition, he said, had been accused in the country of unduly protracting the session, yet ut the end of seven months the government had not even introduced all the measures referred to in the speech from the throne." The promised bill for the extension of the boundaries of Manitoba was a case in point. The opposition, Mr, Borden added, was most anxious to bring the session to a close at as early a date as possible, J The prime minister replied that he would make a statement on Monday next regarding the further legislations and if the Manitoba boundaries bill was to be introduced at all it would be brought 'in early next week. The trouble "about it was that sincé the opened the Manitoba legislature had demanded a grant of money in lieu of the, public lands, and this necessitated an adjustment which could not be made off hand. Sir Wilfrid hoped thal it would he possible to prorogue parliament before the arrival in Quebec of the Prince of Wales. It is understood that a government bill will .be presented to the house to prohibit the importation, manufacture and sale of opium excepting for medi- . é presents session {einal purposed. This step is based upon a report -by Mackenzie King, deputy minister of labor, in regard to the opium trafic, on the Pacific coast. WOMAN'S SHREWD GAME. Made Fifteen Cents at Expense of Grocer.

A day or sé later the child returned with the ten-cent package and told the grocer that her mother had changed her mind and * didn't want the seed after all, asking for the money back. This the grocer gave-the child gs he replaced the package in the box. The next day 'the child came back with the second package bought, telling a similar story.
