Destructive fires sweep Virginia and New York areas
Destructive forest fires rage near Prince George County Virginia and extend toward Disgoutanta on the Norfolk and Western line. In Easton Pennsylvania a saw mill and several businesses burn, causing tens of thousands in losses. In New York City the Kiralfy Brothers storehouse and theatre properties burn, with replacement costs up to twenty thousand dollars and potential season disruption. Additional blazes in Carroll’s packing box factory district, Elm Street, and multiple adjacent firms produce combined losses around fifty thousand dollars for stock and two thousand for buildings. Brooklyn burns on Plymouth Street result in about three hundred thousand dollars in property loss, shared between the Carey estate and tenants.

The annual Adjutant General report notes militia in the states remains surprisingly good despite limited government support. It calls for organized, educated forces to aid national defense, supports a New York bill to boost efficiency, and urges per-service pay and deserter law measures. Pay rolls from the Civil War are mutilated, hindering pension adjudications, with a push to restore all rolls. Two Chinese women teachers aboard for Mission work are blocked from landing pending certificates.
