Halifax, N.S. June 1 - The recent death of an engine driver on the Intercolonial Railway known as Joseph McLELLAN has led to the discovery of a romance connected with his life. He came to Halifax from Edinburgh 35 years ago and his real name was Jos. McGILL. He deserted his wife and seven children there and on his arrival here assumed the name of Jos. H. McLELLAN., shortly afterwards obtained a position on the I.C.R. as driver and was engaged on the road for a third of a century. His deserted wife and family never had any trace of him. Twenty-five years ago he married a Halifax girl named Sarah TOBIN by whom he had four children who survive. Last year the aged bigamist, apparently struck by remorse in his old age, revisited Edinburgh and sought out his first wife and children. They were all dead except two, a daughter now Mrs. Jane FRASER and her sister, Sarah. To those he told the story of his shame and promised to make provision for them out of the property he had accumulated. He returned again to Halifax, but never revealed his romance to his second wife and family. A few months ago while oiling his engine, he fell off the step of the locomotive and struck the sharp point of the oil can which entered his head above one of his ears and killed him instantly. A few days ago his daughter, Mrs. Jane Fraser, arrived here from Scotland, made affdavits of the facts of the case to Judge Shannon and has obtained administration of the estate of her late father. Thus she will secure his life insurance and all his property and the second wife and her family are left out in the cold.
