COLD WAVE COMING
FROM THE ROCKIES
BRINGING MORE ICE
Temperature Due to Take a
Decided Tumble by Tuesday.
Change Will Be a Sudden
One

Make the most of the warm winds
blowing Monday for by Tuesday there
is due a cold wave that will rattle the
teeth of the most blase, not that the
cold is to be so intense but because the
change will be so sudden.
BY Teusday it is expected that the
temperature will have dropped some 80
degrees and that wind fresh from the
Rockies will be blowing kisses to the
orange blossoms Of Florida.
Sunday proved to be disappointment
both to the public generally and the
weather watchers in particular. 1t had
been figured out by the experts that a
gentle, soothing rain would fall late in
the afternoon. But instead ere came
a frosty sprinkling the forenoon and a
downpour in the evening.
The man who is commonly reported
to have scoffed at Noah and 20 have or
dered him ito sail away in his old
scow, because it amt goin' to rain no.
how" would have hunted up a macin-
tosh if he had been out Sunday evening.
The rain came down in sections about
the size of a healthy paving stone, burst
ing with relentless fury on the heads of
all Glasses, letting none escape. After
everything but the sins of ordinary NOR
tails had been washed away the deluge
gradually abated.
Monday around the Rocky mountain
section there is enough cold being sent
out to make a grizzly bear hunt warm
place to spend the remainder of the win
ter.
In Atlanta Monday at noon the tenn
perature was 66, according to official
figures, with the storm of cold coming
on schedule time. 1t is thought that a
drop of 25 or so will reach Atlanta by
Tuesday After that it will be toss
up as to which way the thing will go.
There may be a rise and it is just as
possible that there may De a fall.
At any rate, it will be prudent to look
over the furnace and take squint at
the water pipes to see what the last
freeze did to them.

sG7, ZOO IS PRICE
CITY HALL BRINGS
At PUBLIC OUTCRY
Reuben R. Arnold and Harvey
Hill, Well Known Lawyers,
Bought on Half and Half In
tereSt

Reuben r. Arnold and Harvey Hill.
well-known Atlanta lawyers. bought the
city hall property at public auction Mon
day noon for s67, 200.
This figures $3.50 per front foot. The
lot has a frontage of 80 1-2 feet and
depth of 125 feet The building is sub
stantial brick structure four stories high.
There is a loan of $4,000 on the property
which natures April 10. 1914. with interest
at IL per cent.
The terms of sale were cash. Thus the
purchasers will pay over to the city 49,
200. The city headquarters will stay in
the building until July 1, 1911, paying $500
per month rent.
WILL REMODEL BUILDING.
The interest of Mr.. Arnold and Mr.. Hill
is half and half Mr.. Arnold states that
they have figured on remodeling the
building for stores on the ground floor
and offices above. He is not sure yet,
however. whether they will change that
plan or not.
The auction drew a large crowd. For
rest & George Adair were the agents,
the latter being in charge. In the crowd
were Mayor Maddox, John w. Grant
and numerous other city officials. 1t was
all over in about ten minutes.
Frank Hawkins started the bidding
with an offer of $500 per front foot. In
a moment he was raised. Offers got high
err for a few minutes at a rate of SIS to
$50 per front foot Then the raises be-
gan to get less and less, until finally they
were outbidding one another at 81 per
front foot Among those who bid were
Mr.. Hawkins, Albert Howell. Shelby
Smith and Mr.. Mason, of the Title Guar
antee company. Mr.. Adair dwet on the
final bid about two minutes.
OFFICIALS SATISFIED.
The feet of the Adairs for selling the
property will be 1-2 per cent, which
makes S1.6SO. This leaves the city $3.50
clear money on the sale.
OF that sum $4,000 has already been
applied as first payment on the old post
office, thus leaving $15.52O to spend on i'm
provements. 1t will probably be appro-
priated for that purpose.
Mayor Maddox was satisfied with what
the property brought. So was John W.
Grant. chairman of the finance commit
tee of council He estimated it would
bring from $50, 600 to $4,000.

AGED BLIND WOMAN
FORCED BY RELATIVE
To GIVE AWAY HOME
Mrs. Casanria ]. Lanier in Pc
tition to Court Claims That
Son-in-IaW Patrick C.. lett
Forced Her to Sign Deed

Claiming that while totally blind, par
TALLY deaf and almost an invalid she
was forced by threats against her life
to sign, against her will. deed giving
away her property at 534 West North
avenue to her son-in-law, Patrick c.
Jett, and thus forced to go TO the county
poor house, Mrs. Casanria ]. Lanier
Monday brought suit in the superior
court against Patrick c. Jet and his
wife to recover the property. The allie
cations as to how Mrs. hanier was treat
ed in the fight made on her to take her
property are sensational in the highest
degree.
The petitioner states in her petition
that not only was she opposed to signing
the deed giving away her property,
which was her only means of support,
but that she was rudely held by Pat
rick c. Jet and two unknown friends
and her hand guided as she made her
mark. She also alleges cruel treatment
in the extreme in the fight made upon
her by Patrick C. Jet and aided in 1t
by his wife
In the lengthy statement drawn up
by Ogburn, Dorsey & Shelton and filed
by Mrs. Lanier, she sets forth that she
was forced to go to the Jet home to
live, as they were the only living rela-
tives she has. The petitioner states that
the cruelties to her started soon after
she took up her residence with the Jetts
and continued until she finally left and
went to the poor house to escape their
prosecutions.
Mrs. Lanier went to the Jett home in
April and the crusade against her was
begun Immediately, she states. She
claims that she was threatened and that
she feared for her life when Patrick c.
lett abused her while drinking, he being
especially severe to her on those occa-
sions. She claims that he often broke
up the chairs in the house and pitched
them across the room, cursed her and on
one occasion stuck has knife in the face
of the clock
On one occasion, Mrs. Lanier alleges,
that she tried to leave the Jet home
but did not do so as she was afraid he
would kill her and nau no other place to
go. Mrs. Lanier, so she states, held
out against her son-in-law and until he
came to her with two unknown men
and placing a paper before her demand
ed that she sign IT, II was never redu
to her, she said, but she was forced to
sign ii when her son-in-law grasped her
by the hand anu guided it as she made
her marh. Soon afterwards she states
that she had to leave the Jett home and
go to the county poor house, as life was
made entirely too miserable for her.
The property which Mrs. Lanier is
endeavoring to recover fronts "a feet on
West North avenue and runs back a
depth of 139 1-2. 1t was conveyed to
s. ]. Lanier by Samuel B. Hoyt on
March "a, 1890.
The case has been set for a hearing
before Judge Pendleton at $3.50 o'clock
Saturday, December 10. In the mean
time Jett is prevented from disposing
OF or @l4aring the property in any way.

There were few of the congregation at
the morning service at the mother church
today who knew that the life of the lead
er and teacher had ended. The services
were as usual. and the two readers,
Judge Smith and Mrs. Leland T. Pow
ers. presented the sermon OF the day:
God the Only Cause and Creator" with
voices that were without emotion and
had no suggestion Of sadness.
The routine service, which closes
with hymn, the reading of the scien-
tiic statement of being. and the bene-
ciction, was strictly followed, but just
before the benediction Judge Smith
changed the usual form by saying:

My beloved students:
Although these lines" said Judge

they are true today and will continue
to be true But, il seems my duty
! to announce that Mrs Eddy passed
from our sight last night at a quarter
before IL o'clock. at her home on
Chestnut Hill"
The greater part of the congregation
left their seats i'm silence. There were
no words of sorrow, although many a
tear was shed. The strains of the Re-
cessional on the great organ were as
joyous as ever.
The question of future leadership
was referred to with great reserve by
the leaders and others. Those who ex-
pressed a view said there would be
no change in the methods of carrying
on the work. that Mrs ISddy's teaching
and instruction would be implicitly fol-
lowed and the church that she founded
would continue to grow in the future
as IL had in the past. II was pointed
out lnal WIFI the exception OF n rev
routine matters, the actual direction OF
the church work was relinquished to a
great degree by Mrs. Eddy some years
previous TO her death, although she
continued to keep in close touch with
those TO whom she had entrusted the
work and had a clear understanding of
how il was being performed.
The notice which was read at the
morning service OF the mother church
was repeated at the evening service
to an unusually large congregation and
was also read at many other Christian
Science churches in this section of the

Especial Dispatch to The Call


BELMONT. Sept. 1.-The accidental
discharge of revolver which ne was
handling resulted in the death of Henry
c. Smith, manager of the W. A. Emmett
company, local mercantile concern.
late Tuesday night
Smith, his wife and three sons had
been sleeping in tents in the garden of
their residence at Belmont during the
summer months and it had been Gus
tomary for him to place a revolver I'M
der his pillow during the night, locking
1t up when he awakened. He was the
last to retire Tuesday night and went
to the bureau to get his revolver Sud
denly the members of his family were
awakened by shot in the house and
discovered him lying dead on the floor
with bullet through his heart
The first thought was that he had
committed suicide, but this theory was
secuted by the family and also by Dep
uty Coroner George W. Sneider, who in
vestigated the death. The suicide
story was given credence on account
of Smith having been in failing health
for some time past.
ITO my mind" said Sneider. death
was purely accidental. Though smith
had been in i'll health he was not at all
respondent and there was not the least
reason for him taking his life.
Smith was AZ years of age and leaves
an estate valued at about $2o,OOO. Prior
to taking his present position he was
