Death
A son of Volentine Pope was drowned on Friday night last. It seems that the little boy, with his younger brother, was in the habit of bathing in the river and upon this occasion by some means got into deep water. Although the alarm was given immediately, it was nearly an hour before the body could be found. He age was nearly 12 years. This is a sad blow to his afflicted parents.
We were shocked to learn of a sad and fatal accident that occurred a few miles from this village in the town of Columbus [Chenango Co. NY] on Tuesday evening last. Byron Simmons a young man aged about 20 years, who was in the employ of George Pardee upon the John Low farm, had just finished doing the chores and while Mr. Pardee had gone to the cheese factory, went into the house and was seen by a passerby loading his rifle. A short time thereafter, Mrs. Pardee hearing the report of the gun as well as a noise as if something had fallen upon the floor, called him by name and receiving no answer, she went to the room and found Byron bleeding upon the floor. Being frightened she ran to a neighbors for help, and when they returned they found him dead. It is supposed that he was watching for the purpose of shooting a woodchuck, whose hole was a short distance from the house and in direct range of the window. Probably he had loaded his gun and had laid it upon the bar that still stands in the old barroom and having got sight of the woodchuck, had reached for the gun and on drawing it towards him, it was by some means discharged the ball passing through his head. He was a steady, industrious young man and his sad end has cast a gloom throughout the entire neighborhood. The funeral was held at the house of his parents on Thursday, on account of his sick mother, who was unable to go out and was attended by a large concourse of friends and connections.
_____________________
About half past 1 p.m. on Monday last, another shocking and fatal accident happened on the Midland between the bridge over the river to south part of the village and the Burlingame crossing. In coming towards the village on a slight downgrade, a train of -?- separated from the locomotive and tender when the brakeman, Frederick Flake stepped across to the tender to procure a pin for again coupling the train. While doing this the brakes were applied to the coal cars which probably separated them from the locomotive. Whether Flake again stepped to set upon the coal car without looking and so went to the ground or whether he slipped while stooping to drop the pin as the train came up is unknown. The attempt to couple the train while in motion was an extremely hazardous one and apparently unnecessary, as the train was approaching a point where it could stop and the coupling effected without danger. The man fell across the track and the whole train passed over his body. completely dissecting it and rolling the portions apart. The legs were broken the head badly bruised and the scalp turned back. Mr. Flake resided at Oneida [Madison "Co. NY] where he leaves a wife and two children. He was about twenty-five years of age and had been in the employment of the company only a few weeks. although he had previously been a brakeman.
Dr. Handle held an inquest, and the verdict was in accordance with the facts as above stated. The nature of the accident precludes the idea of blame on no one of the party. Telegraph.
