Effects of the Brooklyn Fire on City Life
A Brooklyn theater fire disrupts daily business beyond theaters as ferrymen, eateries, hackmen, and street vendors report sharp declines in customer traffic. A surviving waiter’s tale links dull trade to the fire’s aftermath, illustrating cascading economic effects on night life and transit. In Deptford, a wake yields a mistaken identity tale. An English paper reports Mary Scott died, but disputes over the body lead to a third party verdict and the revelation the mother is alive, ending in a reunion.
