THOUGHT TO HAVE BEEN iNCEN-
DIARY a

NORFOLK, Va, May 30-From parties
from the ghborhood Of the recent fire
in Princess Anne county, by which Rev.
+. c. Clarke. three OF his children and his
niece were burned to death, it is learned
that feeling exists that the fire was OF
incendiary origin. It is said that a color
ed man who lived on the farm occupied by
Mr.. Clark had not paid MS rent and was
in the habit of burning the fences around
the place. Mr.. Clark demonstrated with
him and finally ordered him to move.
Miss Bidgood states positively that there
was no fire IN the kitchen room, as she ex-
amined the stove before she retired. II
is supposed the house was fred from the
outside between the kitchen and the main
building as, while the main house burned
to the ground, a portion OF the rear part
OF the kitchen was left standing. II is
said that the people Of that section OF the
country are considerably excited over the
matter.
