In the opening of the will Friday morning at i1.30 o'clock of Mrs. Fife Gardner Ross, widow of James H. Ross, who died last week at her home, No. 1S4 Church street. there was much interest in this city, where she had her husband died on Feb. 12, 1913, he left her $36. .000, and she had a consid- erable fortune of her own. She owned the Eagle cotton mill at Eagleville. With no near relatives, her partition of her estate, which has been lessened to some extent by her long illness, was consequently received with an unusual degree of attention.
 After providing for the executor to pay funeral expenses and to erect a granite monument in the cemetery at Shirley. Mass, where she and her husband are buried, at an expense not exceeding $500, Mrs. Ross will be- queaths to her aunt, Sophia l.. Wy man, Worcester, Mass, Mary Lamb Wa1than, Mass, Martha. A.

will BRING ANOTHER ACTION.
Gordon A. Johnstone Not to Give Up
 case for Commission.

It was stated here Friday that an. other action to recover the commis- sion claimed by Gordon A. Johnstone of Atlanta, Ga, in connection with the sale of the property of the Dan. ieisonville Cotton company, which was doing business in Danielson up to tha time it was dissolved, is contemplated by Mir Johnstone, this time against individuals who were connected in an. official capacity with the company. Mir. Johnstone lost his case in the superior court here this week through successful motion for uon-sutt by attorneys for the defendant company. It has been learned since that Mir. Johnstone and his attorneys were not aware of the fact, developed at the trial, that when the offer to pay Mir. Johnstone a commission if he could sell the property was made, 1t was by a man who had been connected with the company in an official ca- pactty up to the day before he made the offer but was absolutely without althority to make 1t on behalf of the company on the day the offer was made. AS was stated by Judge Futile here, it appears that Mir. Johnstone is entitled to secure compensation from someone other than the Daniel sonville Cotton company. from the testimony at the trial, and 1t ts now understood that MT. Johnstone will continue his legal attempts to get it, probably the next time in Massachu- setts court

Much quiet work is being done for candi- dates especially those in line for election as members of the board of selectmen, but 1t is being done in a fair way, as was forecasted by state ments made by leaders some weeks ago.

likely to be a considerable warning Of elements at the republican convention in this city today to nominate can didate for congress from the Second district. The 196 delegates are due to meet in the town building at noon. There are those who believe that Will Ham A. King of this city is the man who should get the nomination. He has been up for the office before In windhan county he is strong. un- doubtedly, but outside there is compe- tition. Middlesex county men are stated to be in favor of Gustave B. Carleson of Middletown, while Attor- ney Richard P. Freeman of New Lon don has a lot of support behind him. It will be a convention in which the balance of power will be fairly well di- vided. although of course MT. Freeman is the only one who has definitely an- nounced his candidacy.
 After the business, the delegates will eat in G. A. R. hall. where the Wora- ans Relief corps will serve lunch.
