CHOSE HIS
OWN WIFE
Actor Refuses Money Left
Him by Dead Uncle.
-Legacy Had a String to It
in the Form of a Condi
tion That the Beneficiary
Marry a Certain Woman.
William S. Gill, a young man who ap
poared In the rolo of "Ebenezer Tobb,"
the sexton of the Baptist church. In the
production of "The Village Postmaster"
at Hazleton opera house Monday even
ing, has boon placed in a very odd posi
tion by a will made by his undo, who
recently died in Liverpool, England. It
is a will that smacks more of the novel
than real life.
The will leaves Gill £5,000 if he will
marry the ward of his uncle. Gill is
deeply in love with a young woman who
Is a member of the company and they
aro engaged to be married. lie prompt
ly decided that if he cannot get tho
money without taking the ward also,
the money is not for him.
A letter was received on Saturday by
Gill from his father, James Gill, of Bos
ton, apprising the young man of the
.terms of tho uncle's will. The uncle
was Major John Reynolds, who died in
Liverpool a short time ago from tho
effect of wounds sustained while fight
ing in South Africa.
The ward of the deceased is the
daughter of a brother oflicer who died
in India some years ago. After that
sad event she was cared for by Reynolds
as If she was his own daughter. It was
his hope that his nephew would marry
his ward and with a view to encouraging
this idea ho shaped his will. Fate de
creed that this should not be.
Gill has never seen his uncle's ward,
but notwithstanding this he does not
hesitate to say that she is not for him.
"I did not hesitate a moment in mak
ing a choice," ho said in talking about
the matter. "What is £5,000 as com
pared to a life's happiness. Money is
a good thlug. but it is not everything,
and with me It would not weigh for an
instant against the woman I hope will
one day be Mrs. William S. Gill."
Officials Violate Promises.
The trainmen on tho D. S. & S. Hail
road were given the surpriso of their
lives yesterday when they opened their
pay checks and found that tho officials
of tho road had broken the promises
made to the railroaders to increase their
wages to the scale recently adopted on
tho Lehigh Valley Railroad.
Some weeks ago the D. S. & S. men
asked for an increase in wages, taking
the new rate of the Lehigh Valley Com
pany as a basis. The officials at Drif
ton reluctantly consented to pay the
scale of the other road, and nothing
more was thought of the matter by the
men until yesterday.
After receiving their checks the rail
roaders found that the increases were
six mills per hour to the conductors and

one cent an hour to the engineers,
amounts far below what were needed to
bring their wages up to the Lehigh Val
ley rate, while the firemen, brakemen
and others received no increase.
Those of the employes who had be
lieved in the promises made by the of
ficials wore naturally disappointed at
tho manner In which they were hood
winked, but others who have had
similar experiences with these people
were not In the least surprised at the
deceit which the Drifton corporation
exhibited.
There was a time when a statement
received from the managers of tho Coxe
interests was accepted as truthful and
was relied upon by all whom it concern
ed; but this was when men with brains
and honest principles were in charge.
Unfortunately for the employes of the
Drifton companies, the<e men aro no
more, and the fair name which years of
work established Is gradually becomiug
a synonym for hypocrisy, of which the
D. S. & 8. "increase" is only one of
many instances furnished.
The railroad men are determined
that tho matter will not be allowed to
rest until they receive what Is due
them. Arrangements are being made
to hold a general meeting of tho em
ployes of tho road to take action on the
refusal of tho company to live up to its
promise.
TICKET NAMED
Democratic Candidates Nominated on
Monday Evening.
The Democratic convention of Free
land borough was held in the Municipal
building on Monday evening. Chair
man John McCole called the meeting to

the election of R. J. Esq., as
chairman and John E. Mcllugh as
secretary.
Tho following nominations were then
made, there being no opposition for
either of the offices:
Justice of tho peace—Hugh A. Shov
lin, of the South ward.
Auditor—Bernard Boyle, of the
Fourth ward.
The chairman was empowored to ap
point a committee of six members to fill
vacancies and rovlse the rules.
After deciding to meet at the call of
the chairman, to take action on tho
committee's report, the convention ad
journed.
Both nominees are acceptable to the
voters of the party, and the delegates
and workers have no doubt of tho suc
cess of the ticket at the polls.
