The material for the fair grounds extension of the street railway has all been reoeived, and the ties and poles have been distributed along the National rtad. The plan at present is to run the track into the fair grounds at the southeast oorner of the grove, and describing a circle run back to the main line.

Thework will be commenced just as soon as all preliminaries haye been arranged.

Ihe second ease was that of Ray Lowry, a colored boy of .seven years old, who died suddenly on Sunday. His death resulted from a tumor on the brain. The other case was Calvin Rochelle, a colored man, who fell dead from a chair in Fuhr's grocery on Monday afternoon, and whose demise was the result of heart failure.
