WASHED FROM THEIR GRAVES
Awful Result Of cloudburst at MadI.

D"iS' 'hSOA'e ~ at mdOI-
son, NJ. J.
Madison, N. j.. Aug. I2.-With
scarcely warning a cloudburst broke
over Madison Sunday night, and with
in q short time had spread ruin on
every side. Reads became rivers,
bridges we're swept away, and, most
terrible OF all, the Presbyterian GENE
terry, on the west OF the town, was
flooded and hundreds OF bodies we're
washed from tho graves. News Of
the calamity spread, and soon nearly
9 thousand men were at work trying
TO secure the cofFins with the bodies
in them from the rush OF waters.
In many cases the rescuers were
prevented by the flood from doing
anything. but about hundred
corpses were taken from the water
and carried to dry land. Undertak-
ers from all over the county were
summoned, and disinfectants were
freely used to prevent any pestilence.
In many cases there was no way OF
identifying the bodies, which were
washed out OF the cofins, and they
will have to be inferred again as
Hameless persons
The country for miles around is
all excitement and thousands Of peo-
p3s ara on the scene hooking for
traces OF their dead
Besides the destruction OF the GENE
terry the tracks of the Lackawanna
Road west OF Madison was destroyed
by washout and one train was
wrecked as a resulte The engine over
turned and the brakeman was killed
and the conductor and engineer per-
haps fatally injured. The roads are
inpassable to vehicles for miles In ev-
cry direction.

HORRIBLE CRIME
In HBNRICO,
A White Fiend Assaults
Mrs. KeZiah Banks.
NOW IN HENRIco COUNTY JAIL.
THE DEATH PENALTY-NO NOR
ASSAULTS THE PRISON.

One of the most horrible outrages ev-
er recorded in this section was perpe-
trated by Charles Timberlake. e--hite
man, upon Mrs. Keziah Banlk as 65
years, near the Bowling Green Rod i'm
Henrico county. Her husband Is now
confined at the Central Hospital at Pc
tersburg, Va. Mrs. Banks went to the
store to get loaf of bread on July 10Th,
1902, at about $50 in the evening.
While there, the fiend watched her and
upon her leaving followed her, and
oriminally assaulted her.
PLEADING FOR MERCY.
Mr.. Alexander Board states that he
heard screams and a voice pleading for
mercy.
BE hastened to the scene and found
that Timberlake had Mrs. Banks on
the ground, endeavoring 60 stifie her
cries and was threatening her with
death, If she did not keep quiet. He
was using language unfit for publica.
tion. 1t was with difficulty that he
could be gotten away from her.
CONTINUED rHE OUTRAGE.
Mr.. Board yelled at him and he start
ed towards him with a stick. This
caused Board TO retreat, whereupon
Undertake returned 20 the woman and
continued the outrage. Finally. Mr..
Eugene Tate, white, came with his gun
and fired over him. Thereupon. Tim.
,berlake grabbed the girl, Dora, who was
trying to frighten him away
Board states that at this point, he
knocked him down. He then went
down the road. This affair occurred in
the neighborhood of Chelsea Hill and
created much excitement. Mrs. Banks
lace and neck bear evidence of the ter
rlole treatment she received, being
scratched and bruised
A white lady also witnessed the out
rage. Tlmberlake works at the Rich
mond Locomotive Works, and is said TO
be tough character.
TROUBLE ABOUT THE WARRANT.
There was difficulty in getting the
authorities Interested TO the extent of
issuing warrant for the arrest of Tim
berlake.
Justice Thomas investigated the case
and Timberlake was sent on to the
grand jury. He is now confined in the
Henrlco county Jail, which is located in
TINS city. Under the laws of this state
criminal assault is punishable with
death and those who attempt the crime
are liable to similar punishment.
Board, who is chief witness, tells of a
brutal assault upon him by Harry
O'Neil, who is friend to Timberlake.
He returned the blow and has not been
since molested.

HEARD MANY SHOTS FIRED.

Gaines lives at $50 n. Srh ST. Com
ing across the gully, the rear of house
on 9th St., was examined. About ten
feet from the ground was a bullet hole
where bullet had entered about the
time that Wright was shot. The men
in the shoe-shop adjoining stated that
they had heard four or five reports from
some kind of fire-arm about that time.
1t seemed q miracle that some of them
had not been shot as they were also in
the line of che firing. In the meantime
all kind, of rumors were in circulation
concerning the shooting. One report
was that of white man who resided at
the south east corner OF 9th and DuyaI
Streets bad given himself up stating
| that he was cleaning his revolver at the
time and had accidentally shot him.
WHITE LADY's STATEMENT.
The Editor called there and the white
lady promptly denied the rukmor. She
said that she saw Mr.. Wright stag.
ger and go to the barrel where he knelt
down. She called to a child TO come
and get some water and carry to him.
This was all. Her statement was
oorroborated.
Crossing over to the barrel on the edge
OF the sidewalk could be seen the pool
of clotted blood. No further light has
been thrown on the mysterious occurr-
ence. Gaines was admitted to bail in
the sum of 81 900. Mr.. Wright resides
