IT WAS ATTENDED WITH NO LOSS OF LIFE. m Willia Johnson Acts Heroically, and is Badly Scalded—Captain Webb, Too, Does Nobly—Fourteen Passerfgers Receive Slight Injuries. The Offi cials act Promptly. While ranniog at a speed of 50 miles an hour, passenger train No. 52, from Charleston to Columbia jumped the track and was wrecked five miles from Columbia on yes terday morniag. Willis Johnson was the engineer and Capt. Webb the conductor. There were 41 passengers on the train and only 14 hurt and only one, Mr. Willis P. Johnson, ser iously. This is Mr. Johnson’s home and he has a great many friends who sorrow deeply for the severe acci dent that has befallen him. At first it was thought his injuries were fatal, but the opinion now is that he will recover. To show what material he is made of ccpy the words of the State. “Engineer Johnson had plenty of time to jump from his engine after shutting off the steam and putting on the brakes, but he didn’t do this, preferring to stick to his post if it should cost him his life, which it came very near doing. When the first passengers crawl ed from the overturned coaches they saw the engineer pulling iself from the mud beneath the lerpoi weight of the. Iaoai 'in a Targe measur SPAIN SUES FOK PEACE. The Kicncb AmtMUMador Present* the Pro posals to President MeKlnley. Washington, July 26.—Spain has sued for peace formally and directly to President McKinley through M. Gambon, The French ambassador. The following offi cial statements made: “The French ambassador, on be half of the government of Spain, and by direction of the Spanish minister of foreign affairs, has presented to the President this af ternoon at the White House a message from thd Spanish govern ment looking to the termination of the war and the settlement of terms of peace.” Spain’s communication present ed by Ambassador Cambon is gen eral in teams, and does not make any distinct propositions as to Cuba, the Philippines or any other possession. It is simply a request that peace negotiations be opened. No armistice is proposed. After Ambassador Cambon submitted tl e proposal a general talk fol lowed between him, the President, Secretary Day and M. Thiebaut. The President reserved his an swer, an understanding being reached that he would at once lay the subject before the cabinet and then invite M. Cambon to another conference at the White House when the final answer will be giv en as to the willingness of this government to open negotiations. The manner in which the peace negotiations shall be conducted, in case the United States accepts Spain’s tender, has not been de termined upon, bnt it is under- SPAIN PROTESTS.

Inquiry has been made why James Abraham, convicted and sentenced to be hung at our last term of court for the murder of Henry Green, was not hung on uly 15th inst. the day fixed for his execution. Mr. Theodore Kuker, his attorney, gave notice of appeal and, we understand, ii preparing the appeal, which by operation of law stays the execu tion of the sentence. Besides this we understand that a petition is preparing to commute his sentence to life imprisonment. Mr. W. J. Anderson, of Fben- ezer, brought two open cotton bolls to this office yesterday. They are the first we have seen. Who will bring the next? Mr. W. B.

The engineer was terribly scalded, bis shoulders, arms, body and legs and all the lower portion of his face being scalded to the point of absolute rawness. Fortu nately his eyes escaped. Despite Jus ugly harts he was as cool as a man ever gets to be, and never a groan or complaint escaped him. He told those who came to him and held umbrellas over him to shield him from the heavy rain that soon began to fall, ihat his idea of the cause was that the forward Luck of hit engine jump ed the track.” *• Capt. Webb too acted the part expected of that ideal conductor. The State reports: Capt. Webb was too modest to say anything about himself, but there were many on that' fated train who gladly spoke for him and their words told of the gallant and magnificent manner in which he acted. The women and child ren were the first to enlist his at tention, and to these he gave the kindest and most assiduous atten tion. “But he seemed to be every where,” said one of the passengers, “at the same time, and none of us will ever forget him.” The Coast Line hasn’t a better man in its em- loy, and in such times as this Wil iam Webb is at his best and shows what he is made of. The cause of the accident will probably never be known, being one of those unavoidable happen ings that elude the loresight and care of the most careful men. No blame can attach to the Coast Line officials who always keep their roads and rolling stock in splendid condition, and this par ticular piece of road is said to be as fine as any in the Southern States. Capt. Lynch thinks that the front truck of the engine became detached and touching on the cross ties had prized the engine oft the rails. Great praise is given the Atlan tic Coast Line Officials for their readiness in meeting the emergency. t : r \ —At— I Every Ice Cream -j j) ARBy » s j Afternoon United States ambassador at Paris, and Senor Leon Oaatillo t Spanish ambassador at Paris, carry forward the negotiations from the point arrived at by the President and Ambassador Cam bon.
