On Thursday morning, the boiler of the switch engine No. 174, called the "Reliance." used in the New York Central depot in Buffalo, in making up trains, exploded with a terrlble crash: The engine was standing about a hundred and fifty feet from the depot, and was coupled by the pilot to three passenger cars. The engineer, Florlan Frank, a German, and the fireman, Oscar Kring, were standing in the cab of the locomotive when the explosion occurred. The former was looking out of the window, and the fragments of glass cut him terribly in the lace. From the right side of the month for four inches down the chin and neck, the flesh was terribly cut and lacerated. The right eye was also cut open, and itis thought the organ is destroyed. The nose was split from the bridge downward. His wounds are severe but not fatal. Kring was uninjured. A woman named Catharine Hughes was engaged in cleaning the passenger car coupled to the engine, and was pretty badly scalded about the face and hands. The debris of the engine were thrown hundreds of yards. The cars attached were somewhat injured, and there were several narrow escapes, but no one was killed. A year ago the locomotive "Buffalo" exploded nearly upon the same spot.

Henry Whyland, a well-known retired merchant of St. Johnsville, committed suicide yesterday morning, by throwing himself into the canal. He has been ill for some time and his constant ill-health resulted in despondency, which appears to have destroyed his mental equilibrium. The canal was dragged, but up to a late hour last night the body had not been discovered. Mr. Whyland was well known in this city, where he made frequent visits.- Newspaper Article (The Evening times, Little Falls, NY, Friday , July 22, 1892)
Ilion, July 22. — Information comes to your correspondent this morning, by mail. that the temporay aberation of mind reported by the Hearlad and Observe St. Johnsville representatives in the ease of Henry Whyland existed only iu the imagination of the writers. Mr. Whyland did not suicide. He had walked to the West Shore railroad to meet a gentleman whom he expected on an incoming train to transact some business with. He chose to sit down on a tie-post near Place's grocery which is close to the depot, where he had been kuown to ease many a time and where numberless persons have embraced the same opportunity. It is true that Mr. Whyland has not enjoyed perfect heaith for many months, but he has never evinced any sign of a suicidal turn of mind. On the contrary he probably dreaded the pangs of death more than any man in that village. I have kuown him something like 30 years and speak intelligently. He had been subject to spells of dizziness and probably lost his balance when he attempted to arise and fell into the canal. It does not always imply that every man is a suicide because his life is suddenly terminated by an ending as sad as this. It is an injustice to the family and friends of the deceased that an indiscreet correspondent should lake it upon himself to plunge into circulation, through thn press what he believes to be the case without consulting the facts aud circumstances attending it. Mr. Whyland has spent nearly his whole life in St. Johnsville.

At his homestead. 245 Genesee street, at 8:30 o'clock this morning, occurred the death of La Mott Thomson, one of the early settlers of Utica and one of the best known citizens. For about six or seven months past his health had not been of the best and for about three months he had been confined to the house. The primary cause of his demise was old age, but the immediate cause was paralysis of the heart.
In the death of Mr. Thomson, this city loses a citizen who was prominently identified in financial circles. Years ago he was one of four associated, in a small express business which ran from this city to Rochester. This company grew eventually into the Amertcan Express Company. Mr. Thomson was a man of considerable wealth.
Mr. Thomson was born in Paris Hill, this county, in 1827, and was the son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Thomson. Ho received his education in the public schools in that village and then entered the Clinton Liberal Institute, from which he was graduated. After graduating he returned to his home, where he was for a time associated with his father in conducting a general store there. When about 24 or 25 years of age he came to this city. Soon after locating here he took charge of a proposed express business, being associated with Theodore S. Faxton. Samuel Munson and John Butterfield. The quartette were the originators of one of the first express businesses In America.
The deceased was interested in numerous other enterprises in various ways. He eventually took to the brokerage business and was widely known in financial transactions in New York State. He financiered the People's Railroad Company of Syracuse and the Iron Pier Company of that clty. In the former, he was associated with John B. Oxner of Rome. A. D. Barber and Joseph R. Swan in the promotion of the People's Railroad Company. In all of his life he had been very active in the financial world. He was also associated with B. T. Babbit the soap manufacturer. At one time he conducted an office upstairs over A. T. Manning's dry goods store which is now occupied by A. S. & T. Hunter as their upper store. He was there until the Oneida National Bank Building was constructed when he removed his office to that place.
Mr. Thomson was known as "the father of chess in Utica." He was a familiar figure at the chess games of the Y. M. C. A. and waa regarded as an expert. He had played against Pillsbury, the champion for years, and against some other strong men of the chess world.
He did not participate in the games for local championships, leaving that for the younger men, but the latter all appreciated the value of his knowledge and experience and often appealed to hia Judgment. Though Mr. Thomson was an octogenerian. his love of the game amounted to enthusiasm and he was as devoted to it as he was in his school days at Clinton. It was there he learned It and for 60 years his allegiance had not faltered. At his office over the Oneida National Bank Mr. Thomson had a desk draw given up altogether to chess literature and reminiscent features of the game . He had a package of letters _constituting the correspondence between himself and an English gentleman which had its origin in chess. Another prized item was a newspaper article relating the story of a game of chess played by Mr. Thomson and a Chicagoan.
Years ago James Bailer and Mr. Thomson were chess chums, members of a chess club of business men who met afternoons, after business hours, on the third floor of the building next north of the Erie Canal on the west side of Genesee street. There were about 30 men in the group composing the Utica Chess Club, and they had well equipped apartments for a number of vears. In 1893 Mr Thomson was in Chicago and met Mr. Bailey's son, Dr. A. O Bailey. Thev engaged in a game of chess. It was unfinished when business called Mr. Thomson home, but soon after it was resumed by postal card. Each player would mail his directions to move and accompany the move by an appropriate ovotation from English Literature. It lasted for weeks. Sixty moves were made bv each and then, owing to business interruptions, it was called a draw.
Mr. Thomson could npreach a sermon upon the value of chess in teaching the mental faculties to apply themselves to the conditions which confron them.
There was another distinction which Mr. Thomson enjoyed. He was the original star pitcher of the original Utica base ball team. He was the father of the underhand curve, not as it is pitched to-day. but as it was employed when the rules restricted the pitcher to the fore-arm swing. The principle which Mr. Thomson employed was afterward adopted by others and was thebasis of the curved ball of our day. In 1860 he used to pitch a "raise" ball which the batter wronld invariably strike under, and also a "drop," which "was under the patter's club. He also had a ball which left his hand with such a whirling motion that when the bat came into contact with it it usually was fouled. For 45 years he maintained his interest in the national game and during recent years could always be seen tn his place in the grandstand at Utica Park "squeezing" for [missing]
...
ing souvenir in the shape of a scorebook of the Utica Club from 1840 to 1846, when the games were played near where Park avenue crosses the Mohawk River. Later the games were played at Riverside. The members of the regular team, beside Mr. Thomson, were his brother, Mortimer G., A. S. Potter, Edward Curran, N Curtis White, Stephen and Georgr Sicard, A. D. Crocker, George S. Potter and W. J. Doolittle.
Mr. Thomson was married in Buffalo about forty years ago to Maria Hubbard, who survives with one sister, Mrs Angellne Thomson Bailey, who resides at the corner of Genesee and Dakin streets. He is also survived by a niece, Mrs. Jessie B. French of this city, and a nephew, Clark Lanford Bailey, who lives in Oklahoma. Mr. Thomson was a member of Grace Church Besides being an expert in base ball and chess, he waa an expert shot and was at one time prominent as a cricketer.- Bequests (Utica Herald-Dispatch, NY, Wednesday, August 11, 1909)
