fight With Death
Prominent Citizen Dies al Home
Oh Hamilton Street

John F. Gill, 50 years old, for
many years a leader in politics, fra
ternal, and commercial acNvitics,
passed away yesterday morning at
his home, 40 Hamilton street, alter
a long illness. Some time ago Mr..
Gill was in a critical condition fol
lowing an operation at New Britain
General hospital, but when all hope
wa. given UP he recovered and at
tended to his business again. He
was again taken sick about three
weeks ago and had been in failing
health since. He was born in Eng
land.
Mr.. Gill was in the painting bust
ness for several years following his
resignation from the John Boyle
Co., in whose employ he was for
about 10 years.
Although his political activity
spanned period OF only eight
years, Mr.. Gill made himself ono of
the most colorful personages in
common council history, and during
the existence Of the short-lived city
meeting board he was one of the
outstanding figures.
While he took an active interest
in politics, Mr.. Gill made it point
to attend strictly to business and ii
was at the height of his political
career that he launched into the
painting and decorating business, a
venture in which he met with
,uccess. Fraternal afiliation also
laimed his attentions. He was es-
ecmcd leading knight of New Brit
in Lodge of Elks. He was also a
Jason and member Of the Knights
# Pythias.
In 1924 A. NJ. Paonessa, who was
hen mayor, named Mr.. Gill a mem
ger of the board OF compensation
nd assessment and one of Mayor
Yields first official acts was to re-
appoint him to that board.
Mr.. Gill became identified with
he city government December IS,
1918, when he was installed as a
councilman to fill the vacancy in the
second ward. Completing the term
he retired, to return two years later
as alderman. .
After heading his ward delegation
for two years he sought reelection
and was successful, and in the fol-
lowing year entered a contest for
the post of mayor pro tenn. a posi-
ton filled by republican members OF
the council In this contest he was
also successful.

CHICAGO WRECK
TAKES ) LIVES
Approximately 100 Hurt as
Trains Collide

Chicago, Sept. 7.-(A.P)-A Chi
cago & Northwestern suburban train
brought death and injury to scores
of Chicagoans returning from Labor
Day outings last night when it tele-
scoped the rear OF a holiday special
which was discharsing passengers at
an outlying station four miles from
the loop.
Hours OF labor in the debris of the
two wrecked cars, wooden coaches
pressed into holiday service, brought
the toll of identified dead to five and
the list Of injured to approximately
100 persons. All the dead and most
OF the injured were from Chicago.
The special was the third section
Of train made up at Elroy, Wis,
and had just stopped to discharge
several passengers when the subur-
ban, from Darlington, ILL.,, rounded
a curve and plowed into the rear
coaches, pushing the last one into
the car ahead.
Passengers, many OF them women
and children, were crushed as the
coaches telcscoped and hundreds Of
hrcmcn and police worked fevcrish-
ly for hours to free them. Their Ct
forts were unhampcred by fire, dc
spite the fact that the suburban en-
CINE fell on its side. The entire
scene was blanketcd with live steam
for some time
Engineer Lester Smith of the SUI
brrban train, placed under arrest
when found in state Of collapse at
hospital, admitted running past
warning block signal but blamed the
wreck on failure to have a brakeman
Tar enough back Of the special, and
the approach OF an outbound train
which led him to dim his headlight.
Smith said that when he saw the
yellow caution light he applied all
brakes and was proceeding at less
than Is miles an hour when the
glare OF his headlight revealed the
special few yards ahead.
