Special Cable—Copyright.
Valparaiso, Aug. 2.—The city la calm
today ant) the people ore optimistic.
C'arefull estimates place the property
loss at less than >100,000,000 and while
the death Hat will be awful, the first
reports, it la now believed, were mori
or leas 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 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 suppliea begin to
come In.
President-elect Montt and retiring
President Fresco have been powerful
Influences In getting the situation in
hand. News which cornea 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 Brannon, Shep
herd Goes on Quiet Quest
for Plum.
Reliable advices come from Savan
nah Wednesday that Colonel Walter
IV. Shepherd, a resident of Liberty
county, but whose law ofllce la In Sa
vannah, Is running a phenomenal race
for congress from the First district
tor the long term to succeed the late
Rufus E. Lester.
Home time ago'Savannah had tacitly
decided to he "hands off" In the race,
and It was generally understood that
J. A. Brannen, a prominent attorney
of Statesboro, would be given the long
term.
Colonel Shepherd did not say any
thing, but' quietly disappeared from
his accustomed haunts, nnd began a
still hunt. He worked quietly but ef
fectively, It seems, through the ten
counties of the First district.
According to the advices coming to
Atlanta Wednesday, the Liberty county
man Is polling a remarkable vote, with
Splendid chances of receiving the nom
ination for the long term. Colonel
Shepherd was one term In the state
senate from that district, and he also
served for some years as Colonel Les
ter's private secretary. He Is about 35
>ears of age, and said to be an nggrea-
site. capable young man.
Colonel William Clifton, "the liberty-
loving cltlien from McIntosh,” seems
pretty sure of receiving the nomina
tion for the unexpfred term, ending on
March 4, 1907.

A negro who answers but varuely
the* description given out by Mabel
Lawrence as the one who assaulted her
and whose name Is Albert Travels, was
brought down from Norcross at 1 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
nnswered the description of the man
who had perpetrated the assault In
Copenhlll. The negro was taken to the
Norcross Jail Tuesday night at 8 o’clock
and Marshal Rudder says he tried to
force his way out of the cell by break
ing 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 waa carried back to
Norcross, where he will have to answer
to the charge of Idling and loitering.
Reed Taken to Tower.
Arthur Reed, the mulatto who an
swers so minutely to the description
given by Mabel Lawrence of the negro
wanted, waa hurried from the city • rla-
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. Reed, 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 III 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 Mpnday
morning, and by his statement Reed
places himself very near the place of
the sassault. At the time he waa caught
Reed was sneaking around near the
corner of Fort and Decatur streets, and
had blood on hla face. He was 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 Instltu-
tlon. It was stated Wedneaday morn
ing at the hospital that although 4tlss
Lawrence will survive the attack of ths
fiend, she has lost the sight of the left
eye.

GLYNN COUNTY. i
Special to The Georgian.
Brunswick, Ga., Aug. 22.—The battle
of Che ballots Is being waged right vig
orously In Glynn county today, nnd
surface Indications are that the coun
ty will give a majority for Hoke Smith
for governor. The fight here Is solely
between Hoke Smith nnd Estlll, and
the -friends of both candidates nre
working hard arounfl the polls today,
ns they have been working for the past
several weeks. However, the Hoke
Smith people have the older and tha
better organization. A Hoke Smith
eltdbj with a membership of some tint)
was,organised here about four months
ago, and the lenders In that organisa
tion, have never for a day let up In
thelt work for their candidate, cm
the other bund, the opposition to Holes
Smith In Glynn has but recently per
fected any organization worthy of the
name, in the beginning of the entn-
palgh the nntl-Smlth people were
nearly all advncntlng the nomination
of Clark Ilowell, but there was no
concert of action and no systematic
work In his behalf. Only within the
last month or less, when It had be
come apparent to the most casual ob
server that Howell stood no chance of
carrying oiyn county, have the op
position to Hoke Smith gotten busy and
centered on J. II. Estlll as the candi
date, who stands the only ehnneo of
the rounty out of the Ho)<e Smith col
umn. Since the fight has been Inau
gurated In behalf of Estlll considerable
bitterness anti feeling Imve developed
In the contest. Tne Hoke Smith men
are stating against Estlll that he en
dorsed a negro for collector of -the
portjof Brunswick ngalnHt a white Re
publican candidate, and that when the
same negro, some time afterward, ap
plied for a position In the United
Staffs service at Savannah, .Mr. Estlll
matlf a very vigorous light ngHlnst
him, on account of his color.
The Estlll men, on the other hand,
nre (nuking a fight against Hoke Smith
on qrrount of hla "port rate" theories,
claiming that this port rate Idea, If
put Into prat tire, will he prejudicial to
the business Interests of Brunswick.
■Tfie friends of both these candidates
are ,claiming n victory for their re
spective favorltec today.
