New York Fire Losses and London Rowing Triumph
From Our Own Correspondent. New York reports a costly fall fire season hitting warehouses and manufactories, with insured losses totaling hundreds of thousands. A humorous tale follows of an escaped Sing Sing prisoner found with books among loot. Provident Savings Life Insurance installs Sheppard Homans as president, pivoting to cost insurance with surplus as a trust fund. Theaters feature Sothern in David Garrick and Bret Harte's Two Men of Sandy Bar. In Philadelphia, London rowing dominance is challenged as London Four loses to Beaverwycks and Watkins, sparking American pride and hints Cornell may join next year. Exposition attendance nears 100,000 on half-price days as crowds grow.
