REMAINS UNEXPLAINED.
Reason for Large Bequest to Yale by Wealthy Englishman.
London, Sept. 13.—The relatives of the late Archibald Henry Blount, lord of the manor of Orleton, who bequeathed $400,000 to Yale university, and one of the executors of his will have been communicated with but are unable to explain the reason which he had for leaving such a large bequest to Yale. The deceased's nearest relative, to whom he left the family papers, is a well to do London lawyer who at present is making a tour of the Continent. It is considered possible that he is the only person who was in the confidence of the late Mr. Blount, who spent the greater part of his time of recent years in London.
