The cab drivers of Leghorn who nightly stable their horses In a large court yard situated In the suburb of San Jarobn, have been perturbed by mysterious noises from an old well near by. The well, they maintained, was bewitched, notwithstanding that the police explained that the noises were caused by escaping carbonic gas. To renssure them, however. It was decided to make nil Investigation. Yesterday the well was emptied and to the astonishment of those present a number of very curious articles were discovered. Among them was a heart-shape- d leather cushion. Inside of which was a lamb's heart pierced with fifty needles. The heart was wrapped In a stamped addressed envelope, upon which the address of a young girl living In the neighborhood was written. Further they found the fragment of a marble tombstone, bearing the Inscription: "Here repose the ashes," and a small gluss cylinder, with a parchment stopper, and containing a dead toad, which waa also pierced with fifty needles, the toad being tied with a lock of woman's hair. To all appearances the mntter resolved Itself Into an method of witchcraft employed agnlnst the girl whose name appeared on the envelope. A curious point about the affair Is that two dnya before the discovery was made the girl's relatives received a letter from Ran Francisco, whither the girl had recently emigrated, stating that she waa on her deathbed. A Jilted lover of the girl la suspected of being the originator of the affair, which hns created considerable of a sensation In the neighborhood. VERMONT BAR ASSOCIATION. BURLINGTON, Vt., Aug. 4.

Desn of Ameriesn Financiers Given Up Business Almost Entirely. NEW YORK, Aug. 4. Russell Sage, dean of .American financiers and one of the most widely known men In the country outside of public life, is on the threshold of Today he entered upon his Mth year, looking every bit aa young and vigorous as he did a decade ago. But even a man of Uncle Russell's" remarkable vitality and energetic temperament is forced to pay attention to the mandates of Father Time when he mark on llfee gets near the Journey. It hns been Mr. Rage's favorite boast that he never took a vacation during his long business career, and his rerent statement to the effect that no man absolutely needs a vacation from business started a controversy that swept over the entire country. Whether or not the veteran financier has changed his views In this particular it Is certain that, since his Illness a year ago, he has been persunded by his wife and his physician, Or. Munn, to release himself from the cares of business almost entirely. He now visits his office at very rare Intervals, spending almost his entire time at his summer home at Lawrence, L.

Alexander, Indian agent at Racaton agency, where the Plinae are located. In a special report to Governor Brodle setting forth the condition of the Pima and Pa pa go tribes, refers to these statements and most emphatically denies them. Supplementing the supply of water from the Gila river, the government has provided wells from which water ie pumped for Irrigation purposes. The prolonged drouth In Arizona naturally lessened the qunntlty of water running In the Gila river and Agent Alexander states that the yield of hay, grain and other poducta, was consid-eabl- y less than the year preceding, but that there hae been any suffering he denies. In some Instances shortage of water preevnted Indians from cultivating all their lands and the ngent says that he has been called on to feed destitute families.

The report sent out probably started through the efforts being made to have the secretary of the Interior select the Ran CRrlns reservoir site under the reclamation law. The water that would be stored by this reservoir would lie available for use of the Indians, as well as thousands of whites who have lands In the Middle Gila and Castra Grande valleys. The Huttes site Is also being pushed with energy and both of them are regarded as feasible and worthy projects, although It Is rot likely that both will be chosen. LAND RING TO BE VIGOROUSLY PROSECUTED WASHINGTON. Aug. 4. The government la going to make a determined stand In Its attempt to prosecute the principals In the land ring In San Francisco when the case comes up In the middle of this monih. Notwithstanding the setback which the presecution received by the action of Judge Laroinlie of NW York, who held that the indictment failed to charge Henson with any crime against the United States, the government will Insist before the San Francisco court that the crime against the general government Is charged and sufficiently shown in the several counts of the Indictment. In strengthening the government's stand United States Attorney A. R Pugh, who worked up the evidence agnlnst Henson snd others, is to leave for Ran Francisco in a few days to be present at the henring. He will carry with him a copy of Judge La combe's decision, and a mass of evidence and authorities to show the fallacy of that ruling. Secretary Hitchcock.it Is understood, has Instructed the department authorities to use their utmost efforts to have Henson and Hyde and associates held for trial, and It is under Ms Instructions that Pugh does to Ran Francisco to see what may be the last stand against the lieu-lan- d ring.
