BASS SAID WIDOW OF SON TRIED TO FORCE HIM B Y THREA TS TO WED Philadelphia, Oct 17.—The mist ha» been cleared regarding the yellow slip of paper written by William Welght- imin shortly before hie death, the pro duction of which defeated the attempt of his daughtcr-tn-law, Mre.

On the slip of paper Welghtman, It Is declared, averred that she tried to force marriage upon him, coupling her proposal with a sinister threat. Much' more. It Is declared, appears In an affidavit, for old Welghtman had the memorandum sworn to and wit nessed. It practically admitted the slip was the paper regarding which Mr. Welghtman had written, on July 4, be fore he died, to Mrs. Wlster, say ing: "1 have been very much annoyed to day by the fireworks going off around the house, but 1 have just written and signed a paper, which when it becomes known, will make more noise than three such celebrations.” Mrs. Wlster declares there was noth lng In the paper In question to cm barrass her, but any statement regard lng It must come from her counsel. She said her lawyere were now con- sidering whether the will contest would VETERANS GRIEVE AT NEWS OF DEATH Atlanta Camps Adopt Resolutions of Regret and Sympathy.

Garnett Detailed to Arrange for Suita ble Memorial. 8peclst to Tho Georgian. Mobile, Ala., Oct. 17.—U. ., learning of the death of Mra. Jefferson Dqvla when he returned here last night from New Orleans, William E. Mickle, ad jutant general and chief of staff of the United Confederate Veterans, laaued the following order: "General Order No. 57. . "1. With a heart full of grief, the general commanding announces to hia beloved comrades the death of Mrs. Vartna Jefferson Davis, which occurred In the city of New York Tuesday night, she being at the time of her death over 80 years of age. Thus passes away another of our distinguished Confed erates: and the bonds which connected the people of the South with the house hold of our flrst and only president have been wholly severed with the ex ceptlon of one link yet remaining. “Mrs. Davis was such a part of the people of this section, participating In their griefs and sorrows and rejoicing in their prosperity and happiness, and was for so many years Intimately as sociated with them In every way, that an extended notice Is unnnacessary and out of place. "She wae In every sense of the South, Southern, and her earnest wish was to live and dlo among the people she loved so well, and what she suffered that III health compelled her to take up her residence among strangers far from her own people, la known only to those who were Intimate with her, and though denied the pleasure of being with them In body, she was ever pres ent In spirit and delighted In dwelling upon the deeds of our Incomparable armies. As an author, as a wife, aa a mother, as a patriot, as a Southern woman, she attained a high eminence In the estimation of the world, and died, full of years and of honors, re spected by all and beloved by the sur vivors of the Confederate armies every where. ”2. In order that proper respect may be paid by this federation to this pa triotic and illustrious woman. Major General Theodore 8. Garnett, com manding the Virginia division of the United Confederate Veterans, Is -here by detailed to see that suitable arrange ments are made to-carry out the In tentions of this order. He is to use his best Judgment aa to the course to fol- low. "By command of Stephen D. Lee, general commanding. "William E. Mickle, adjutant general and chief of staff." Presented Large Eagle.

Sam P. Jones left an estate estimated at $250,000, consisting large ly of valuable properties In Atlanta, Cartersvllle and other points. Prop erty belonging to Mra. Jones was sold here not many years ago for $80,000. Mr. Jones did own a splendid Ken tucky farm, but sold It because his evangelistic work prevented him giv ing It the necessary attention. Those in a position to speak authoritatively aay that for many years Mr. Junes' Income was from $35,000 to $40,000 a year from hls evangelical and lecture work. Of this great sum he annually gave away to charitable work more than two- third* of hie earnings. Hls benefactions were so wide and varied that few but hls own family knew of them, rarely spoke of them, and sought to keep hls generous gifts from the pub lic. Hls life Insurance was fully $75,000, and this, of course, will go to hls es tate. It is believed that hls wife will administer the estate.
