The Edgerton Giants sustained de-
feat from the hands of the Footville
team at the Evansville fair on Wednes-
day by score of to Z, though local
fans claim the unfairness of the umpire
lost them the game. Up to the 9Th
| the Giants had them beaten, when a
couple of runs scored on manifest
foul hit settled the game.
| The fire department was called out
between IL and o'clock Tuesday night
to put out blaze at the Whittet brick
yard The burning of a couple OF kilns
was finished that day and quantity OF
| fuel was left near the kilns. Fire in
some way communicated to the pile and
before it was discovered had got beyond
control of the men in charge and had
reached the covering of the sheds. AS
soon as a line of hose could be connect
ed it was quickly extinguished and the
damage did not amount to more than a
few hundred dollars at most. The
alarm and the reflection of the fire
caused quite little excitement for a
time however.
| With the taking over of the Edger-
ton electric light plant by the James
vile company, comes change in the
/ location of the local Office and manage
ment. On September 1st the office
was moved from w. 7. Pomeroy &
| Co. 8 warehouse to the building on
/ Main street just north of the Monarch
Laboratory and Mr.. ]. D. Marcus as
sumed the management. Mr.. Marcus
| has been connected with the GAINESVILLE
Electric company for some years, is a
young man of pleasing appearance,
wholly competent to discharge the
duties connected with the management
of the Light company and will without
| doubt prove satisfying to the patrons
and the company that entrusts their
business to his care. Frank Pearce,
the electrician, is retained by the new
company, and during his few years OF
service has proven a capable man for
the position, neat and rapid workman
and always obliging. In all these re-
spects the new management starts IN
with most promising prospects. At the
new office and store rooms complete
line of sample fixtures, lamps, globes,
shades, ETC., will be kept and the man
agement will at all times be pleased to
receive calls and assist customers in
making selections. At this time a word
or two regarding the retiring manage
ment seems proper. 1t is seventeen
years since the Edgerton Electric Light
Co. was organized and during that time
Mr.. w. T. Pomeroy has acted as man.
ager. In those years it has, so to
speak, grown from four candle power
to a large search-hght concern, and to-
day furnishes light and power for the
greater portion of the residences and
business places of the city. In those
wears when accidents have come, when
lines have been laid low by storm or
any trouble arisen by day or by night,
Mr.. Pomeroy has always been prompt
to act and there was no force too large
or ceasing in the work until the current
was on and the upper and lower lights
were shining. Complete service to the
patrons of the Edgerton Electric Light
Co. was always Mr.. Pomeroy's en-
deavor, and to attest to his success, we
think the public generally will join the
refrain, "well done good and faithful
servant"
