Broadway fire claims lone fireman as ruins loom
New York reports indicate only one fatality from the Broadway blaze, fireman Lowry, though remaining walls may conceal more victims. Loss estimated up to a million dollars but likely under one hundred thousand. Cold temps froze water as hoses ran, many firemen iced over. Also notes North Star sails with California mails, Caleb Cushing to assist at sea, Doberana fate uncertain, and Burlington and Niagara Falls weather and travel notes.
