RAMPOLLA'S BODY EXHUMED.

WHAT THE NUNS SAW. Some, Monday The newspaper "Messagero" states that the courf; has ordered the body of the late Cardinal Rampolla to be exhumed. It is thought that his auspiciously sudden death may be connected with the disappearance of his will. Other reports are to the effect that two nuns who laid out the body saw a box taken from under the dead man's pillow. They did not know whether it contained the will or not. The husband of the Princess Altieri, who is disputing the will of Cardinal Rampolla, is confined in a lunatic asylum owing to allegations that he forged Rampolla's signature to some bills of exchange. An intimate friend of the cardinal states that the 1910 will provided for the children of the Princess, and also left a large sum to the Pope. It is reported that Rampolla's sister, the Baroness Pezzana, the sister who benefitß under the eariler will, was present in the Cardinal's house on the night he died.
