CRUSHED BENEATH WHEELS Engineer Julius Scheiderich Killed Near Tacoma Details Are Lacking, But Both Legs Are Severed. Raised Here, Where He Lived Until Thre Years Ago. Victim of a sad railroad accident at Tacoma, Washington, in which he was badly crushed and both his legs severed from the body, Julius G. Scheiderich, engineer on the Northern Pacific railroad and for many years a resident of New Ulm as boy and man, is being brought to his old home dead. The body is expected to arrive this morning. In just what manner Mr. Scheiderich met his death is not yet known: whether he was in a wreck or fell beneath the wheels of his engine or train. Word received by his wife at Duluth stated that her husband had been severely in jured and had had both his legs cut off in an accident on the railroad at TacomaThursday evening at 9 o'clock, then a message the day following an nounced his death in the hospital Fri day noon. His brother William Schei- dench was working near Tacoma and I Forster. A&2&?&A$^^ Ask for I 1 I Bcortt Brand High-grade Union i-grad Unio Ts Clothing, 1 guaranteed to give abso 2 lute satisfaction.

Once before Mr. Scheiderich was in a railroad accident while running a switch engine on the Northwestern road at Tracy. The engine was badly wrecked and the engineer so severely injured that he was laid off from active work for about a year. This fatal accident was his second. Mr. Scheiderich was raised in New Ulm, having been born in this city thirty years ago, and when he was 20 \ears old went to work on the Northwestern as a bridge carpenter. After working at that trade for a couple of \ears he was given a position on a engine as fireman and it was not long before he was running a locomotive of his own. I For many years he drew a tram on the Northwestern between Waseca and I Tracy and during that time he and his family lived in New Ulm. Then he was given the switch engine at Tracy and it was there that he was so severely injured. A settlement was effected with the company and he was offered his old work on the switch engine, but he had acquired a great distaste for yard work and refused to take it. Following the year of his conva lescence he worked for Nagel & Boock laying cement sidewalks for one summer, and then three years ago this fall he moved his family to Duluth, where he had been given an engine on the Duluth and Bramard division of the Northern Pacific. This run did not seem to be exactly what he wanted and when he was in New Ulm on a visit two months ago he said that he was trying to get transferred to a western division. He had been west but a little while, it seems, for his family is still living in Duluth. Mr. Scheiderich is survived by a widow and four children, the oldest being 10 years of age. His mother also is living in New Ulm, as is his brother Theodore. A sister, Mrs. Bertha Meyer, lives in Washington, and is expected with William today. The widow and the children arrived Satur day night. The funeral will be held at the home of Mrs. Scheiderich, Sr., on Third North street. Mr. Scheiderich was a member of the Brotherhood of Engineers. Lights to Be Improved. L'ghts along Minnesota street will be improved considerably by the string ing of new wires on both sides of the street, now going on under the direc tion of Supt. Adolf Wagner, to re p] ace the old ones from which the wires going into the buildings are fed. The new wires are much heavier than the present ones, being some of those re moved from the old poles taken down last tall. The wires being replaced are three in number on each side of the street and extending from Center to Third North streets. In the line ot Furniture ou wilj alwa\s find what \ou want at J.

The last three days have been strenuous ones, crowded with business and pleasure business for the hundreds of delegates in attendance and pleasure for the crowds of excursionists which have gathered in this city from the Twin cities and all nearby parts of the state. At this double convention are gather ed 300 directors of the German Catho lic Benevolent Aid, representing thirty one societies and twenty-three cities and villages, and 325 delegates to the Staats-Verband. In the association the insurance feature is made promi nent and the St. Joseph's society is the local society which is a part of this body. Although the Staats Verband is entirely independent from the other, and was formed in this city eleven years ago when the association was in convention here, with separate officers, still the bond between them is close, as the object of the latter is to bring all the Catholic societies in the state in a closer union. N E W ULM IN GALA DRESS It has been eleven years since New Ulm has had the entertaining of the Catholic hosts and her hospitable doors and hearts have been opened wide. Every director and delegate has been received by the city with open arms and every visitor has been made a welcome guest. The business section of the city and the resident district in the vicinity of the Catholic church have presented and present a gay appear ance. Flags, banners, lights, large signs of "Welcome" and the magnifi cent arch on Minnesota street have given the streets and buildings a holi day look and lend a cheer and gaity to the proceedings. The arch is worthy of special mention. It is uniquely de signed and when lighted with its myriad of electric bulbs presents an especially brilliant effect. In the center above the driveway is the emblem of the or der made luminous with colored lights. The effect when the arch is seen at night a from little distance is beautiful. Sunday, Catholic Day, was the first day of the proceedings, but the crowds began to come in on the evening trains Saturday and when the Sabbath broke there were already hundreds of visitors in the city. The early trains brought in hundreds from the west and from the south and the Northwestern from the east added abowt 600 to the throng, hailing from Mankato and beyond. The first special from over the St. Louis arrived a little after 11 a. m. from Minneapolis and then about an hour later the one from St. Paul pulled in. Both trains together brought in close to 2,400 people. At 1 o'clock the Northwestern added more to the multi tude. The celebration of the day was be gun by solemn pontifical mass in the Holy Trinity church conducted by Bishop John Stariha, D. D. of the diocese of Lead, S. D. And then a convention speech was made by Rev. J. M. Solnce of St. Paul. 1 ^xfy%?Jh V*V* _5"*V THREE THOUSAND I N PARADE. After dinner preparations began to be made for the great parade which was to be the feature of the day. At 1 o'clock a heavy thunder shower came up but it lasted less than half an hour and when the procession began to form at 2 o'clock the sun was shining from a smiling sky. The marshals formed their divisions according to program on the various side streets and then the march began on State street to Third South street, to Minnesota street, to Fourth North street, to Broadway and then to the Opera house. Fully 3000 people were in line and the procession stretched it self out for two long miles. Thirty two societies were represented, coming from twenty-three cities and villages. Nine bands were in the march, one at the head of each division and there was music continuously in the air. Heading the parade rode the city po- O E O VOLUME XXYI XEW UL.M, BROWN COUNTY, MINN., WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, L904. SI0 3H State 5000 Visitors Are Present Sunday, Catholic Day.
