Mr. Downs, was severely injured, and died in
the course Of few hours afterwards The child

its death in a few hours.
On Saturday last Col Williams received some
severe injuries. under the following circuDstan

THE RAILROAD MEETING AT Mason
We learn that the Railroad meeting at Mason
yesterday was quite we'll attended from all
parts Of the county and that much interest
was manifested in the building of the Grass
Lake road. A resolution was passed unani-
mously. requesting the board Of supervisors TO
raise the $40 1000 by tax, authorized by the
Legislature, 10 aid in building the road The
committees appointed by the meeting in Il Is
city were continued in power. A number Of
speeches were made. all highly in favor Of the
road We learn that delegation rom Jack
son arrived after the meeting had adjourned
to urge the building of the road to Jackson.
Our people have tarried long aud patiently for
the Jackson people to aid in build ng a railroad
south but they have now got through waiting.
The delegation was too late. They occupied
very much the same position of some certain
young virgins who went to attend a marriage
feast With their lamps untrimmed and without
oil, and they were treated in about the same
manner they were.

other gentleman, whose name we did not learn

their teams down the avenue full drive, and oil
vent we'll until they come to a cross walk, which
being higher than the level of the street, threw
up the wagon of Mr.. Ingersoll in such a manner
As to throw him out. aud in falling he was quite
considerably injured; his forehead was bad,
bruised, and he was rendered senseless. He was
carried into a house near by and properly cared
for, aud the team was secured without doing
further damage. His competitor in the race did
not stop to ascertain the extent Of the injury
done by the accident, but kept on his way at
foil drive, and was soon out OF sight, undoubt-
eddy knowing full well his liability to arrest
and punishment. There is an ordinance OF the
city against fast driving within the city limits.
and il should be promptly enforced in all cases,
without reserve, and We trust it will be in the
