NOW NUMBER 1,000
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 mey*
or less exaggerated, and the best Im
pression now la 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 wqrk 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
1>e glad when new supplies begin to
come In.
President-elect Montt and retiring
President Fresco have been powerful
influences In getting the situation in
lmnd. 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
open up again and plans are being dis
cussed for the rebuilding of the city.

POLLING HEAVY VOTE
Fixed for Brannen, Shep
herd Goes on Quiet Quest
for Plum.
Reliable advice, come from Savan
nah Wednesday that Colonel Walter
W. Shepherd, a resident of Liberty
county, but whose law office I, In Sa
vannah, I, running a phenomenal race
tur congress from the First district
for the long term to succeed the late
Hufus E. Lester.
Some time ago Savannah had tacitly
derided to be "hands off” In the race,
.mil it was generally underetood that
J. A. Brannen, a prominent attorney
"f Statesboro, would be given the long
term. *
Colonel Shepherd did not say any
thing, but quietly disappeared* from
hie accustomed haunts, and began a
still hunt. He worked quietly but ef
fectively, it seems, through the ten
counties tif the First district.
According to the advices coming to
Atlanta Wednesday, the Liberty county
man Is polling a remarkable vote, with
splendid chancel of receiving the nom
ination for the long. term. Colonel
Shepherd was one term in the atnte
senate from that district, and he also
served for some years as Colonel Les
ter's private secretary. Ho Is about S3
years of age, and said to be on aggrea-
suo, capable young man.
Colonel William Clifton, "the liberty-
loving citizen from McIntosh," seems

March 4. 1907.

FOURTH WARD.
Registration, 1,179.
City vota at 2:30 o'clock, 656.
State and county vota at 2:30
o’clock, 665.
Voting opened up briskly at the
fourth ward polls Wednesday morning,
and wlthjn the firat hour and a half
200 ballots were cant. The city and
county voting places were about 60
yards apart, and the Intervening apace
was filled with heelers of the various
candidates. One energetic partisan
had the name of his favorite on the
Idest part of a broom In boxcar let*
tern, and waved It at each approach
ing voter.
The first man to cast, his vote In the
ward for state and county officers
was H. Lewis, and for city officials
was Hugh D. Carter.
No trouble of any kind had been re
ported at the polling places up until
2:30 o’clock. Goodwin,was conceded to
have had the advantage earlier In the
day, but at this hour the Joyner men
claim that their candidate is running
neck and heck with Goodwin and| will
earn* the ward. Both Dr. B. E. Pearce
and M. M. Turner claim to be In the
lead for councilman.
Hoke Smith Is easily far In the lead
for the governorship and will probably
get three votes to Howell’* l.
been no fighting and only me “cussing”
match within earshot of the noils. This
feature and the belief that there will be
a record-breaking vote cast are being
talked of widely.
It has been estimated that between
1,000 and 1,260 of the possible 1,387
voters registered will visit the polls.
The gubernatorial race was settled in
the minds «»f most of those who kept
close to the polls about noon, and since
thht time the chief topic of conversa
tion has been the mayoralty race.
Much montv has been flashed >n
both slues. Bets that Joyner would
carry the city were refused, and the
Joyner men refused money that Good
win would carry three or more wards.
It Is believed that Smith will poll
three votes to Howell’s one.
SIXTH WARD.
Registration, 1,648.
City vots up to 2:30 o’clock, 985.
State and 'county vote up to 2:30

Heavy voting marked the forenoon,
but from noon on there was a let up
In the stream of voters.
Smith supporters claim the ward 3
to 1, but Howell men say their man will
win out. At this hour Indications are
that Hoke Smith la leading.
Joyner Ih apparently leading over
Goodwin, though the last named is get
ting a good vote. Macon Sharp is poll
ing a good vote for county treasurer.

City votes at 2:30 o'olock, 588.

Hoke Smith has carried the Fifth
ward.
IV. H. Joyner and Thoman JI. Good

It will go for Joyner four to one.
The day has passed quietly enough,
with no disturbance and no noise; 1 Aft

voting smoked up a little about noon.
Then about 2 o’clock it dropped down
to nothing.
EIGHTH WARD.

The Eighth Is taking It serenely.
With the smallest registration of any
There haa ward In the city, the voters go quietly
'up, cast thelr^bailor and go away to
business. % Very few workers or hang
ers-on were about.
At'this hour It looks like a practical
spilt ibetween Howell and Smith. Joy
ner Is lending fo/* mayor, and the vote
for county treasurer is so divided that
no one can tell who Is leading.
Indications are that almost the en
tire registered vote will be polled.
IN THE COUNTY.
In the county districts the vote

In the county Is 2,545. The total vot
