The Burning of Deep Creek, Below Nor
folk, Va.


folk, Va.
NORFOLK, VA, Sept. 9.-Intelligence
reached here this morning of the almost
total destruction of the town of Deep Creek
on the Dismal Swamp Canal, eight miles
from Norfolk, by fire, about 5 o'clock. The
flames were 30 rapid and intense, famed
vigorously by heavy northeast gale, that
many of the people barely escaped from
the burning buildings in their night clothes.
Some 25 or 80 houses were destroyed, in.
Guiding the hotel, Masonic Hall, several
stores, workshops, the post office and
dwellings,, and only those escaped which
were detached and at some distance
from the body of the town, and
they not altogether without some
injury. All the stocks of goods in tine stores
and workshops and the household effects In
the dwellings were consumed. The confa-
grafton effectively did Its work in less than
three-quarters of an hour. Several persons
were injured and the steamer Thomas New
ton was damaged. The total insurance
will not reach SIS, 900. John johnson, Will
liam Culpeper, W. s. johnson, the principal
merchants, DIR. /. j. Cherry, and Mrs. Jane
Foreman, the owner of the hotel, were
partially insured. The fire originated in a
gambling den occupied by colored men, and
Is believed TO be incendiarY. The Wind was
very cool and disagreeable at the time, and
the houseless women and children had to
tab refuge tor the night In two churches on
the outside of the town and at neighboring
farmhouse.
