         Fatal Accident - A fatal accident occurred at Windsor
       on Monday morning, resulting in the death of MR. ISAAC
       COVERT, an old resident of the city, and for a number of
       years connected with the car shops of the Michigan Central
       Railroad. He was engaged in superintending the shipment
       of some cars on the dock, when a freight train, which
       backed down the track without warning, knocked him down
       and ran over him crushing his body in a horrible manner.
       The wheel passed over his side, from the thigh to the
       shoulder, separating the ribs from the breast-bone, and
       mangling the whole body in such a manner that hope at
       once became extinct, and he was removed with all speed
       to his residence on Columbia street, where he died
       within an hour and a half. He was conscious to the last,
       and bade his family farewell with firmness and resig-
       nation. He had many friends, and was very well known
       from his long residence in Detroit.
