ly before 1 o'clock Sunday morning
in his home at Lorton, Fairfax county,
when his house, a small one-story

The fire originted in the kitchen and

while smoking a cigarette, and the
flre from this ignited his clothes
causing the blaze. However,, the
exact cause will never. be known, for
It was 1890 o'clock Sunday morning
when j. Sidney Wiley saw the house
afire and immedia teIy went to the
scene. When he arrived the roof of
the house was caving in and he wa s
unable to render any assistance
He remained until the fire burned
itself out and then it was discovered
that Burgeman had been trapped in
the fire. The charred body was found
in the room that he had used for a
kitchen.
The deceased was unmarried and
had been employed recently as a
laborer at Fort Humphreys. He is
survived by three sisters. His funer-
al took place this afternoon from

VIRGINIA POTATOES

Georgia Peach Shipments
Now at Peak-Potato
Prices Drop Sharply.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, July 1S.-Reaction was
noted In the potato markets as city sup
plies mounted higher and prices de-
ciined sharply during the week. Canta-
loupe and watermelon values held at
relatively high levels and light receipts
OF tomatoes brought good prices, ac-
cording to the bureau Of economics of
the Department of Agriculture. Com
pared with this time last year car lot
shipments OF potatoes, watermelons and
are one-third to two-thirds
less.
The aggregate daily shipments Of a
dozen fruits and vegetables is still 500
cars below last JuIy's shipments
Peach Season at Height.
With the starting of Elbertas, the
Georgia peach season is now at its
height. more than zoo cars a day roll
ing in from that section. Although
1000 cars below last seasons total to
date. the movement may be expected to
catch up rapidly and probably will ex-
ceed shipments OF 1922 in Georgia. The
movement still lags in North Carolina
but large crop is expected In New
York and New Jersey.
Heavy shipments of east shore Vir-
ginia and Norfolk potatoes the first
week OF July resulted in accumula-
tions In several markets especially
New York. Virginia furnished three
hfths of the last weeks supply of
new potatoes. New Jersey shipments
are becoming more heavy. The de-
cline In city price levels was re-
fected at shipping points.
Watermelons Higher.
The rising trend OF watermelon
prices continued in central Georgia
Consuming centers maintained their
recent advances well, following the
slump of early July.
Not only did the car-lot movement
or cantaloupe5 fall below the 1000
mark, compared with 1916 cars the
previous week. but a recent forecast
of the total crop in thirteen inter
mediate states indicates little over
100000 crates. This is 35 per cent
less than last seasons production in
the same sections.
Early apples from the eastern and
central regions have been late in
