NOW NUMBER 1,00p
Special Cable—Copyright.
Valparaiso, Aug. 2.—The city Is calm
today and the people are optimistic.
Carefull estimates place the property
loss at less than $100,000,000 and while
the death list will be awful, the first
reports, It Is now believed, were mar»
or less exaggerated, and the best Im
pression now Is that the number of
dead will be near 1,000 In Valparaiso
and perhaps as many more at other
points in the provinces which were af
fected by the shock.
The authorities are putting all the
able-bodied men to work clearing away
the wreckage and some progress Is be
ing made. Martial law still Is rigidly
enforced and short shrift Is given to
the crooks found guilty of looting.
There are still 60,000 people depend
ent upon the distribution of food and
while there are rations for them for
several days yet, the authorities will
be glad when new supplies begin to
come In.
President-elect Montt and retiring
President Fresco have been powerful
influences in getting the situation in
hand. News which comes in from the
surrounding country Indicates that the
heaviest damage was done in the pro
vinces of Valparaiso and Aconcagua.
Business houses are beginning to
ripen up again and plans are being dis
cussed for the rebuilding of the city. #

A negro who answers but vaguely
the description given out by Mabel
Lawrence as the one who assaulted her
and whose name Is Albert Travels, was
brought down from Noreross at 9
o’clock Wednesday morning by Marshal
Sudder, of that town. The negro was
caught Idling and loitering around Nor-
cross, and some one suggested that he
answered the description of the mdn
who had perpetrated the assault in
Copenhlll. The negro was taken to the
Noreross Jail Tuesday night at 8 o’clock
and Marshal Sudder says he tried to
force his way out of the cell by break-
Ihg the grating.
Sergeant Detective Lanford and sev
eral other detectives held a consulta
tion Wednesday morning and decided
the man didn't answer to the descrip
tion well enough to warrant keeping
him here. - He was carried back to
Noreross, where he will have to answer
to the charge of Idling and loitering.
Reed Taken to Tower.
Arthur Heed, the mulatto who an
swers so minutely to the description
given by Mabel Lawrence of the negro
wanted, was hurried'from the city * rls-
on to the Tower, Just before dark
Tuesday afternoon. Reed protests his
Innocence In spite of the fact that there
Is blood on his underwear. Heed, when
questioned more closely Tuesday after
noon by Detective Coogler, said that he
had been working on a rock crusher
Monday morning, the day of the crime,
the rock crusher being but 400 yards
from the scene of the crime. Reed says
about 9 o’clock he became ill and asked
for a leave of absence for the rest of
the day. The assault occurred between
the hours of 9 and 10 o’clock Monday
morning, and by his statement Heed
places himself very near the place of
the sassault. At the time he was caught
Reed was sneaking around near the
corner of Fort and Decatur streets, and
had blood on his face. -He wag arrested
by Officers Hannah and Russell..
Mobs, seemingly as determined > as
ever, are still scouring the neighbor
hood In the hope that by some chance
the right negro may be caught and
brought before Mabel Lawrence. If
this Is done a lynching Is Inevitable,
Miss Ethel Lawrence, who was car
ried to the Wesley - Memorial hospital
Immediately after the brutal assault, Is
declared to be practically out of dan
ger by the physicians of that Institu
tion. It was stated Wednesday morn
ing at the hospital that although Miss
Lawrence will survive the attack of the
fiend, she has lost the sight of the left
eye.
HOKE SMITH WINNER
OVER THIS FIELD
Continued from Pag. Ono.
Reliable advice, come from Savan

W. Shepherd, a resident of Liberty
county, but whole law office le In Sa
vannah, I. running a phenomenal race
for rongrees from the FI ret district
for the long term to aucceed the late
Rufus E. tetter.
Horn, time ago Savannah had tacitly
decided to be "hands off' In the race,
and It wns generally understood that
J A. Brannen, a prominent sttorney
"f Statesboro, would be given the long
term. .
t'olonel Shepherd did not say any
thing. but quietly disappeared from
hie accustomed haunts, anil began a
•till hunt. He worked quietly but ef
fectively, It seems, through the ten
counties of the First district.
According to the advices coming to
Atlantn Wednesday, the Liberty county
man Is polling n remarkable vote, with
splendid chances of receiving the nom
ination for the long term. Colonel
Hhepherd was one term In the stnto
senate from that district, and he olso
served for some years as Colonel Les
ter's private secretary. He Is about 35
S ears of age, and said to be an aggres
sive. capable young man.
Colonel William Clifton, "the llberty-
lovlng citizen from McIntosh," seems
pretty sure of receiving the nomlnn-
tlon for the unexplred term, ending on
March 4, 1907.

Brunswick, Ga., Aug. 22.—The battl*
of the ballot* Im being waged right vig
orously In Glynn county, today, and
surface indication* are that the coun
ty will give a majority for Hoke Smith
for governor. The flght here Is solely
between Hoke Smith and Estlll, and
the friend* of both candidates are
working hard around the polls today,
ns they have been working for the past
several weeks. However, the Hoke
Smith people have, the older and the
better organization. A Hoke Smith
club, With a membership of some 600
was organized here about tour month*
ago, and the lender* In that organiza
tion. have never for a day let up in
their work for their candidate, on
the other hand, the,opposition to Hoke
Smith In Glynn ha* but recently per
fected nhy organization worthy of th*
name. In the beginning of the cam
paign the anti-Smith people were
nearly all advocating the nomination
of Clark Howell, but there was no
concert of action and no systematic
yfork in ’ h4*^ behalf. Only within the
last month or leif*,Mvben It had tic-
come apparent to the most casual ob
server that Howell stood no chance of
earthing Glyn county, have the op
position to Hoke Smith gotten busy nnd
centered on J. H. Kstlll as the candi
date who stands the only chance of
the county out of the Hoke Smith col
umn. Since the tight has been inau
gurated In behalf of Kstlll considerable
srness and feellnr have devel<>j>«d
he contest. Tr.e Hoke Smith men
are .stating against Estlll that lie en
dorsed a negro for collector of ihe
port, of Brunswick against n white Re
publican candidate, and that when the
same negro, some-time afterward, ap
plied for u position in the C’nlted
States service at Savannah, Mr. Kstlll
made a very vigorous light against
him, on account of his color. •
The Kstlll men. on the other hand,
are making a fight against Hojte Smith
on account of his "port rate” theories,
claiming that this port rate idea. Jf
put into practice, will be prejudicial to
the business Into rests of Brunswick.
The friends of both the*©- candidates
