s SWAMP FIRES.

Forest fires are raging in the vicinity
of Bethel. Norfolk county. and on the
North Carolina side of the line. in Cam
den county. Thousands OF acres of val
liable timber lands have been swept
over by the devouring element accord
ing to reports brought in by a gentle
man residing near Bethel Church. The
fire in that part OF the swamp near
Bethel covers Il comparatively small
area, whereas the destruction wrought
in Camden county is immense, and the
burned district covers thousands of
acres. Three miles of the Norfolk and
Camden Railroad has been destroyed.
The fire, it is said, has burned deep
into the soil. and will probably burn
for weeks longer, or until the late fall
rains finally smothers it. The swamp
has been on fire in two or three places
since about the first of July.

IRVING CASE GOES


Judge j. NJ. Mullen, of the Corpora
tion Court of Petersburg, arrived in
Portsmouth yesterday for the purpose
of hearing the case of Irving Bros. vs.
e. G. Johnson, unlawful detainer.
The case, however. was not entered
into, as Judge Mullen granted mo-
ton of the defendant postponing a
hearing until the October term. The
ground for this motion was that the
case was not called on the day on
which the defendants counsel had
agreed. and that he had not had suffi-
cicnt notice.
The litigation involves possession of
the new brick building at South and
Middle streets, recently finished by
Johnson & Bro. for the Irvings, and
the keys to which they retain.
