The New York Times a day or two ago spoke as follows of the genial veteran repor- ter Thomas Towndrow, whose face was for many years familiar one to the stookhold- CTS and others attending the annual meetings of the old New York & New Haven railroad in this city, before the days of the Copsoli- dated road, Mir. Towndrow having for many years in succession reported these annual railroad meetings for the Tribune:
 When Thomas Towudrow reported at the Tribune office, yesterday afternoon, with his usual budget of Westohester County news, he found forty of his friends, representing every branch of that office, gathered iu one of the large editorial rooms to greet him with generous round of applause as he en- tered. MT. Towndrow was eighty years old yesterday, and sixty years of his life have been passed as . reporter. He joined the Tribune the day it was founded in 1S41, and | is still in harness.
 This gathering was intended as small celebration of the veterans birthday. Before Mr. Towndrow could butte comprehend what | the assemblage meant, Thomas N. Rocker,
 treasurer of the Tribune association, was | addressing speech to him filled with com plimentary allusions to his faithful service
 and the love of his associates, including 2
 letter from the staff congratulating the old
 reporter on the sturdy fashion in which he
 has held out and rendering him gold watch
 and chain as birthday present. With thii gift, which was very handsome and beauti. fully inscribed, went alsU sum of money
 representing the excess of funds collected fol
 the gift above its cost. MT. Towndrow re-
 sponded happily for one who had been sur. | prised, and after hand-shaking all around
 went back to his desk to grind out copy.

Is nothing improper in calling ior a

that errors have been made, and no

be that the recount will leave the mat
fer lust rs it is, and on the other hand
1T may possibly he found that Jones

for the Wayne Co. Loan association of

bottom OF the trouble. He started to

has it, and their draft delivered to
Rudolph, rs it was payable to him and
ton one else; that he took some money,
however, to straighten up some little
matters, which he did-for instance,
the old mortgage of S600-that was
paid off and cancelled and that the
cancelled mortgage Is in his Office at
Stony Ridge.
Mcknight served short term in

Accidentally Shot.

A very sad accident occurred on
Saturday last which resulted in the
death OF Frank Siimonds, n Is year old
son of John Silnonds of Bowling Green.
0 the affair the Daily Sentinel says:
II appears that Frank Simonds left
home Friday evening to visit the Smith
boys, who live near Union Hill, and
are sons of Wash Smith, and in the
morning he and Frank Smith started
oait full OF life and in anticipation of
lots OF sport, for 81 hunt.
In +. Il. Meaglcy's woods in Middle
ton township they treed squirrel, aud
Frank Smith attempted to raise his
gun to shoot it, the Simonds boy facing
him. Whether the hammer of the
weapon was already raised, or in
attempting to cock the gun the ham
nner slipped from his grasp, will never
be known, as the boy cannot tell. At
any rate, the rifle barrel of the gun,
which is IL doublc-barreled one, went
OF, the ball striking young Simonds in
the breast ut the junction of the breast
aad collar bones. passing clear through
the body and scvering i'm artery, death
resulting undoubtedly from hemorr-
hage. Young Simonds sank 10 the earth
ndonly had strength TO say, Good bye,
Frank. The Smith boy ran to Meag-
teys FOR help, but Frank, as stated,
vas dead when assistance arrived.
Coroner st. John went to view the
remains and after examination, decided
That an inquest was not necessary,
every circumstance Indicating that
death was purely accidentally. The
smith boy who is only II years of age
In nearly crazed over the affair, and
asks In pitlful way "Oh why wasn't
IL me that was shot,
