and Mother and Daughter Are Burned
to Crisp.
Albany, N. Y, Sept. "A frightful
fate befell the family Of Wilbur Alex
ander, large contractor Of this city,
last night. A naphtha launch ex-
ploded on the Hudson river at 1.-THE
Abbey" mile and half below this
city, killing Mrs. Alexander and her
little daughter and burning Wilbur
Alexander and his son, Wilbur Alex
ander, Jr., in horrible manner. The
son, - years old, went to give some
medicine to his father, who was lying
in the stern of the launch. The boy
carried a lantern and as he passed
the tank containing naphtha an ex-
plosion occurred, scattering the blaz-
ing fluid in every direction, setting
fire to the launch. Mrs. Alexander
and her daughter were near the tank
and their clothes were completely
covered with the burning oil. The
son jumped into the water when the
explosion took place. Mr.. Alexander
rushed to the assistance of his wife
and daughter, but they were burned
to death before his eyes. He was at
length compelled to jump into the
river to save himself. The bodies of
the wife and daughter were burned
to a crisp and the launch was en-
tirely consumed. Mr.. Alexander and
his son were severely burned about
the head and body. 1t is believed Mr..
Alexander will die. The boy, though
badly burned, will recover.
