Net and seine Fishermen Haul on for the
Summer Season Too Hot to ship
After Rappah.nnock Trade.

NORFOLK, VA, June ss.-tspecial)-
Good lawyers express the opinion that the
Atlantic and Danviile railroad can be
made to bring its terminus back to Ports
mouth on the ground that when the de-
cree was obtained before the United
States Court the City Council OF Ports
mouth was not notified. The summary
action Of the railroad authorities con-
tinues the sensation on the other side OF
the river.
All the seine and net fish ,rmen on the
coast near Mays head have hauled OF
full enough. but the weather Is too hot
TO ship to the northern markets.
HEAVILY ICED.
Sheepshead and other choice varieties
are heavily iced and sent to this market
from the sounds.
Notwithstanding the low prices the pota-
toes must be gotten rid OF. and the largest
shipment OF the season went TO New York.
Philadelphia, and Boston to-day. Good
judges say potatoes will go up again and
not drop. The early crop will not keep,
and the tubers must be shipped. no mat

the crop Of Norfolk county has gone for

A PROFITABLE TERRITORY.
An effort Is again being made TO in
