Settled hls son,s debts.

The father of William Hoggard. the
young man who was given s19.S5 by Mr.
]. r. Burton. of the National Restau-
rant to pay a gas bill last Saturday
and who failed to pay the bill or re-
turn with the money. arrived in this
city from Washington, D. c., yester-
day morning and called on Mr.. Burton
refunded the money his son mSappro-
prfated and also all other expenses
caused by his sons action.
MIR. Hoggard seemed very much
grieved over the conduct of his boy and
was very anxious to find him. He said
he did not know where his son was
now and could not imagine what led
him to keep the money entrusted to him
by Mr. Burton.
Young Hoggard has a relative in this
city and his people stand high In Wash
ington. His father is engaged In a
very profitable business and very popu-
lar.
The story of young Hoggard's error
was told exclusively in the Vlrginian-

FREEZING OF FISH.
AN INDUSTRY THAT WILL MAKE
NORFOLK A GREATER TRADE
CENTRE.

Messrs. L. Fuerstein & Co. yesterday
completed the installation of a fish
freezing room at their plant at the foot
of Commerce street.
The firm Will, beginning this summer,
begin the business of freezing the finer
grades of fish that oome to this mar
ket. The object of this is to get the
fish and frcZe them through the sum-
mer season. store them in 4 frozen con-
dition, and sell them through the win
ter when such species OF fish as blue
fish. mackerel, sturgeon and rock fish
reach the highest prices.
There is no plant of this character
South of New York, and the establish
ment of the industry here will tend to
divert to Norfolk considerable trade
In these kinds of fish that is now han
died at New York city. The capacity
of the new freezing room is about
enough for 1000 fish at q time. When
frozen they arc corded up like wood in
the cold rooms and are shipped in
blocks without the use of ice
