New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1902-09-24

The new arc lights Of the city plant
have been il operation for q week now.
and appear to give excellent satisfaction.
They makesa clear blue light and the.
arrangement lis such that there is no.
shadow and the street gets the full bene-
fit Of the light. The old company has
removed Its lamps, having been paid for
the! time of the unexp ired contract, which
was about one month. !.

Last night just after five O'Clock as the
freight train on the ST. Louis road was
coming into the city from the south il
collided with a freight car that was being
switched from the station to the brick
yards. The car was making a flying
switch and was operated by brakeman,
who saw the train approaching and franri-
cally tried to signal it but for some rea-
son the engineer did not see the signal
and the two came together. The fireman
and engineer both jumped and SO did the
brakeman and none of2them were injured.
The front part of the engine was parti-
ally damaged, SO was the freight car
which was struck. The track was clear
ed in time to let the evening passenger
through.
John Backer, who sold out good
business in Essig to engage in the hard
ware business in this city has found it
uphill work with the competition there
is here to succeed and on Tuesday last he
disposed of his stock to F. H. Retzlaff
and will retire from merchantile life. He
has purchased the Philip Sachs farm in
Milford and will give his time to the
management OF it. Doubtless Mr.. BAG.
ker would have succeeded had not the
man whose business he purchased start
ed in the same line as soon as he could
secure store room. The city, is not
large enough for five hardware stores.
= The Broadway Grocery received to.
day a car load of extra fancy New York
apples, such as Baldwains, Greetings
spys and Rnssets. This is a good chance
to buy apples at 90c per bushel.
