Death
A very serious accident occurred in this city [Syracuse, Onondaga Co. NY] yesterday morning. While the family of Mr. John Hoye, on Almond Street, were taking breakfast, a large can of varnish which had been placed on the stove suddenly exploded, its boiling contents scattering over the room and upon the unfortunate family, burning them in the most frightful manner. A child about two years of age, the youngest in the family, who was seated near the stove, was literally covered with the boiling substance and burned almost to a crisp. Mr. and Mrs. Hoye were also terribly burned. their heads, faces and the upper parts of their bodies are covered with blisters. Two other children, both daughters, fortunately escaped without much serious injury.
the child lived but a short time after the occurrence and Mrs. Hoye it is feared will not survive the severe injuries under which she is suffering.
The neighbors, hearing the noise of the explosion and the screams of the family, were promptly in attendance and rendered all the assistance possible under the circumstances. When they first entered the room, the spectacle that presented itself was a most appalling one. The unfortunate sufferers were writhing with the most intense pain, and the room was filled with smoke and flame and the walls, ceiling and floor were covered with the hot varnish.
The can of varnish, as Mr. Hoye informs us, had been placed upon the stove for the purpose of boiling out a little water that was in it and hearing a simmering noise, he removed the cork, when the entire contents flew out with the suddenness of lightning. Syracuse Journal, Nov.
News Item
Mrs. Alexander Hamilton [Elizabeth Schuyler Hamilton]: Death, which has so long spared the widow of Gen. Alexander Hamilton to be venerated by Americans of the present generation as a noble representative of the women of Revolutionary times, has at last ceased to spare. Mrs. Hamilton died at her residence in Washington on Tuesday last, at the advanced age of ninety-six years, in full possession of all her mental faculties and attended by her loving and beloved children. Mrs. Hamilton was the daughter of General Phillip Schuyler of this State [NY], whose services in the Revolutionary war form a marked page in the history of the United States. she was born in "the Old Schuyler Mansion" at Albany [Albany Co. NY] on the 9th of August 1757, and in 1780 married Alexander Hamilton, then a Colonel in the United States Army and one of the aides to Gen. Washington. How this Colonel rose to the rank of a General and became also one of the most illustrious statesmen of his country is well known to our readers, and the deserved eulogium of Mrs. Hamilton is that she was a wife worthy of such a husband. After the death of General Hamilton in July 1804, Mrs. Hamilton resided for some time in this city and devoted her life to acts of benevolence. She was one of the founders of the N.Y. Orphan Society and was for many years its presiding officer.
During her residence at Washington, Mrs. Hamilton had weekly reception mornings when she welcomed her friends, but she seldom went herself into general society. The death of Mrs. Hamilton was caused by no marked disease, but the gradual decay of the vital powers produced alone by extreme age. Her remains have been brought to this city, and the funeral will take place this afternoon at one o'clock at Trinity Church. With Mrs. Hamilton passed away the last, we believe, of the distinguished women of the American Revolution.
