S McDaniel, passenger, Jacksonville, Fla. J. H. Walters, p ssenger, Hamlet, N. C.; scald-, d in o'tricating body of enginejtnau. Dave Stephens, negro fireman; hurt in! jumping. Seaboard Air Lino passenger trnin No. 2, northbound from Jacksonville to Washington, jumped the track half u mile from Dixiana^ Lexington coun-1 ty, at 5:30 o'clock yesterday after- j noon, lesulting in the death of Engi.1 neer John W. Preacher of Savannah! and injuries to Dave Stephens, negro ( fireman, and Mrs. J. S. McDaniel of; Jacksonville, a passenger. Neither of the last named are thought to be seriously hurt. .T. H. Walters of Hamlet, a passenger, was scalded about the feet while helping get the engineer cut of the wreck. The engine turned over, burying itself halfway in the ground; the tender was thrown crosswise of the road-. bed; the mail car, fir9t behind the tender, shot off to the left, hitting a ban, and the express car, which was! next, dhshed to the right, ramming1 the rear end of the half buried engine.' A combination car, baggage and negro day ccach, was partly derailed The track was demolished for about three car lengths, the rails being bent j also into a horseshoe. The train was of eight cars. The remaining live, held firmly to the rails. Early this morning the wreck had, not been cleared, but a wrecking train j was on the way from Savannah, according to H. L. Lewis, night yard-' master at Cayce. Mr. l^wis said bethought the wreck would be cleared by 7 o'clock this morning or a little luter. Striking shopmen of the Seaboard refused to assist in clearing the1 wreck, Mr. Lewis said last night. The! strikers offered their assistance ii lives were at stake or if the dead were train from Columbia, while the through passengers on the Pullmans were moved back to Denmark and brought in over the Southern tracks. The five cars were moved shortly after 1 o'ciwrk this morning, Mr. Lnwis said. The Seaboard's southbound passenger train due here shortly after midnight was transferred over the Southern to Denmark and then back on the Seaboard tracks, officii)Is announced. Sand on the track at a point where the Charleston highway crosses the railroad caused the accident, according to opinion expressed by many persons. The railroad approaches the dirt road on a curve and the highway likewise crosses the railroad on an acute bend. The constant traffic of automobiles across the railroad track is thought to have been the cause of the accumulation of sand, and the curve on which the train struck is be-j lieved to have accentuated the trouble. The increased automobile traffic on Sundry and the decreased train traffic, it. is thought, would combine to make the sand heavier on a Sunday fifternoon than at any other time during the week. Some of those discussing the wreck last night suggested the possibility that some undiscovered defect in equipm nt might have caused the derailment. The railroad commission will endeavor in its investigaton to ascertan the cause or causes. Marks on crossties showed that a truck, thought to be of the engine rather than the tender, left the rails just as the train passed over the dirt road. The trail of the truck could be followed to where the engine and cars left the track. "It looks as if the engine truck was derailed at the road crossing, about '2(W yards from the scene of the smash, and ran on the ties until the truck was demolished and this derailed the engine," said II. H. Thomas, yard wester, when ^sked about the wreck. J. I). I.ane, veteran conductor, who was in charge of the train, said that the speed was probably 40 miles an hour. He, too, though:, that the trouble was caused by a truck derailing at the crossing. The train carried about 75 passengers, he said, and was running on time. Mr. Lane was in the com-1 bination car. which was partly de-| railed, but sutieied no niiUi.es. Dixiana is al>out nine miles from' Columbia and automobiles began to go to the scene as soon as the news became known. Until a late hour last; night there was a constant stream of traffic. This added another casualty to the list. Willie Wiggins, a negro living on Lady street, was knocked down by an automobile while he was on his way to church near Dixiana. I He was carried to the Good Samaritan' hospital by persons occupying the machine which struck him, but they did I rCHED YESTERDAY; D, ENGINEER K1LLEI * / DEATH CLAIMS NOTED PUBLISHED London, Aug, 14.?ViBaoupt North cliffe, noted British publisher, died a 10:12 o'olpek this morning. 'Hi end was perfectly peaceful, his doe tors said. Viscount Northdiffe, bom ii Chipclizod, Ireland, July 15, 1805, th son of an Irish barrister, became ai editor at 17 years, owner and publish er of the London Times and Dailj Mail, the moulder of public opinion a man of powerful influence in th' making and unmaking of British cab inets and, who with David Lloyi George, contributed in a great me is ure to arousing England to more vig orous action in the war. He was created Baron of the Isl< of Thanet in 1905 and made a Vis count in 1917 after he had servei with distinction as head of the Britisl Mission to the United States to con solidate British interests here during the war. Through his newspapers and peri odicals. Lord Northcliffe had demand cd a more vigorous prosecution of th war. He attacked the governmen for its failure in the Gallipoli cam paign and in Mespotamia. He de manaea tnat conscription be put int< effect. Next he turned his journalis tic guns upon Premier H. H. Asquith dencunced the General War commit tee as a "town meeting" and de manded a compact war cabinet. Hi supported Lloyd George in a domnn' for a small and efficient cabinet o which Asquith should not be a mem ber. Mr. Asquith resigned and Lloy< George succeeded him. In no country, it has been asserted did a man in civil life so constantl. as Lord Northcliffe occupy the publi eye, or labor so consistently for hi country and its allies and to brinj confusion and defeat upon the Ger mans. Of the attitude of the Britisl indifferent to him.*' not leave their names. He is no thought to be seriously hurt. Dave Stephens, the fireman, see at the Good Samaritan hospital las night, said that he was coaling who he suddenly felt joking and jarring He realized something was wrong am looking over at the engineer, saw Mi Preacher reaching for his throttle o emergency brake. Stephens the jumped to the left and landed jus as the engine turned over on its rigli side. He fell on his knees and rolle over a time or two. The next thin he remembered was some one pickin him up. He had not looked at hi vatch since the train left Savanna but was of the opinion that No. was running about on time. His onl pain last night was in the right sih? but he was considerably jarred by th jump. J. II. Walters of Hamlet, N. C., wh was scalded when he attempted to re: cue Engineer Preacher, said last nigl: at the Baptist hospital that he ran t the engine as soon as the train sfop ped, realizing that the wreck was sevi ous. He said he looked out of th vestibule cf the day coach in whic he was riding and saw the engine i the ditch. He was scalded when h stepped in a pool of hot water an by escaping steam from the engine Mr. Walters made a close inspectio of the engineer's cab in an effort t locale ivir. rreacner. ivrr. waiters w:i brought to Columbia on the secon relief train several hours after th wreck.

Cleveland, Ohio, Aug. 13 t Uy tin-' Associated Press).?President -John L.

Mr. Lewis refused to el;.leu ale his1 statement as to "important developments" but it was learned that he had h en in long distance e> e.enu.ication today with anthraeit opera1.ovs in Philadelphia. "Important developments with re-' 0 spect to the anthracite strike" said " Mr. Lewis," were taking place today, ' and I feel that a joint conl'ci mce of " the operators and United Mine Work-' " ers will be arranged, and actually B take* place in a few days." ' Port settlement of the soft coal * strike within 48 hours was said by " ?ir. Lewis to be probable, and YV. A.I ' llaskins, secretary of the Northern Ohio Operators' association, co lcurred l> in this opinion, predicting that some )' m-nes w uld resume productio i Wed-' c resday. 3 No progress, however, had been ? made toward settling the one disputed - point of compulsory arbitration be-' h tween JYIr.
