An attempt was made on Tuesday
night to rob and murder Colonel
Rufus King ir., q member of Governor Green's
staff, in sparsely settled locality D short dis.
tance from the North Elizabeth Railroad station
n. J. Colonel King was returning from New
York, and, leaving q Pennsylvania train ct North
Elizabeth, started to walk to his home on North
ave-, about half q mile from the depot
There Is clump of bushes close to tho side
walk at the corner Of Pennsylvania and North
aves, where the attack took place. Behind these
bushes the assailant lay concealed As the Colo
mel passed the rufian sprang up suddenly behind
him and dealt him terrific blow on the back Of
the head.
Colonel King uttered loud cry for help and
fell stunned upon the ground. j. r Cumming
and his were walking in the vicinity, and
hearing the cry ran to the spot The ruffian
heard them approaching, and without waiting 70
rob his unconscious victim or strike another blow,
fed hastily across a vacant lot Mr.. Cumming
and his son followed for some distance, but ths
man ecaped by wading through . pond north Of
the place Of attack. On their return Colonel

1t is thought by some persons that Colonel King
was followed from the train by his assaiiant
whose purpose was to rob him.
1t is more probable however, that the outrage
committed by one Of the outlaws who have
been infcsting the neighborhood for some time
boldly stopping people, demanding money and
making threats. Wagons have been stopped on
the Newark Boulevard and robberes attempted.
These offences have caused much alarm among
residents of North Elizabeth, and there is great
outcry for more police protection. The assaults
nterferences and robberes have almost In every
case taken place in the early evening before the
night police patrol goes on duty.
About IL o'clock last night there was cry OF
murder a short distance from the scene Of the at
sault on Colonel King and number Of residents
were awakened. They heard the footsteps Of
two persons running, apparently on the board
walk leading from the railroad station. search
was made, but no explanation Of the mysterious
cries could be obtained. Colonel King was rest

storm with peculiar features passed over this
city between and O'Clock yesterday morning. II
only lasted thirty five minutes, but was accompanied
by severe thunder and lightning, which reused the
metropolis from its slumbers and brought many peer
ing faces to the windows to gaze at tho work Of the
elements. The bright rays of the early morning sun
shone for time through the falling rain and tinged
the atmosphere blood-red, giving 1t the effect OF
lurd stage fire.
While the storm at its height binding hasb

nearby, thinking that of the old elms Of the

high buildings around 1t had been shattered. For
long time they looked in vain for evidence Of the

crossing In front of the Field Building and peered
anxiously down at the street, where they behed
plainly the work Of the electric bolt. Workmen

crossing At the southern end Of the crossing the
lightning had struck There many metal
pipes and cables in the openings, and these had
drawn the bolt, which, after striking the earth

placed the stones at each end. Had there been any

played havoc with them. As 1t was, no harm was
