HEAVY AT CHARLOTTESVILLE
Cloths Removed from the Wooden Mill
to Save Them.

-
Especial to The Tfmes-Dispatch.)
CHARLOTTESVILLE. VA, June g.
The washout on the Chesapeake and
Ohio Railway. near Campbell's station,
ten miles east OF this city. occasloned
by the heavy rains OF Saturday and Sat
llrday night. was more disastrous than
at first thought. The road-bed for over
mile was badly damaged, and In some
places was literally washed away. The
large force of hands from the eastern
and western ends of the division worked
all OF yesterday and through last night,
despite the thunderstorms and accom-
panying rain, and it is now thought that
1T will be late tonight before the track
will be in shape for traffic.
An engine and caboose which started
out from the scene of the Washout late
last evening for Gordonsyille, met with
an accident, which came near resulting
seriously While going al q lively speed
the engine struck two cows. The caboose
broke loose from the engine. turned a
soInersault and rolled down n twenty
foot embankment. Conductor Smith, who
was on the rear platform, was slightly
injured, and 1t was some time before he
rcgained consciousness.
Two Western Union linemen. who were
in the caboose. had a narrow escape from
".
of this city, had his left foot mashed.
and is now at his home In this city under
a physician's care. He also received
bruises about the head and shoulders.
The other ineman, Mr.. George l.. Rosen-
berger, was not so badly hurt. but came
to Charlottesville this morning and left
for his home in Manassas, The two
cows were killed.
The rainfall throughout this section
has been unusually heavy In the past few
days The rain began falling Friday,
continued through Saturday, and was
followed early Sunday morning by Sc
rles of thunderstorms OF considerable
Violence the rainfall resembling a cloud
ming, and yet another at midnight This
afternoon showers fell alternately, and
1t is yet cloudy and unsettled
The Rivanna River, which runs north
east OF the city, began to overflow its
banks early Saturday night, and con-
tlnued to rise until noon yesterday.
Much damage was done to the wheat
and Ioats on the lowlands, and gardens
were, in many cases. entirely washed out,
At the charlottesville Woolen Mills,
where Moore's Creek empties into the
sRivanna, the water rose distance of
fifteen feet. The basement of the mill
was completely submerged. and water
entered the weaving rooms on the second
floor. The male employees were called
out Mt midnight and worked In water
waist deep to remove what they could.
AS day approached and the rain con-
tinued to fall. they went to work to re-
move the cloth from the second floor to
a placa of safety. This was finally ac-
complIshed, hut not before some loss
had been sustained.
