NoRFoLK. Va. July 16.-At 4 O'Clock this
morning the river steamer Northampton Of the
Old Dominion Steamship Company was discov-
cred to be on fire. She had arrived from Old
Point on her last trip OF the day and an adver-
tisement had been sent to the local papers an
nouncinG that she would make no more night
trips this season. At 8 O'Clock the Waterman
aboard reported all well. An hour later the
boat was afiame. She lay at the uptown dock
Of the company, an extensive property. which
was in great danger of destruction. and had It
not been for the good facilities for extinguish-
ing fires. recently placed IN the pier by the
company. this would have been destroyed,
together with the Northampton and Peekskil
steamers Of the line.
The crew OF the Northampton. suddenly
aroused from sleep. were rescued with difi-
Guilty from the steamer. which burned like tin
der. She was towed while In flames out In the
stream and lies there almost q total loss. She
was eighteen years old and was valued at
$65.000. She was about such q boat as the Ac-
New York harbor at ono time recently, but was
a much better boat. The paint on the, piers
was badly bllstered and the steamer Peekskill.
slightly scorched.
