take the law into their own hands
II they were so fortunate as to catch
the negro.
huInor after rumor was circulated
10 the effect that the negro had been
eaptured in different parts of the coun.
". 1t is estimated that one thou
sand men were securing Fulton coun-
" during the afternoon and night.
Two negroes were arrested on sus-
plcion, but when they were taken be-
lore Miss Mabel she declared that
they Were not the ones.
Miss Ethel Lawrence, whose home
Is in London, England, came across
the water five 'seekg ago to pay a Wis
1t to her brother, whom she had not
seen for many years.
A negro answering in many details
the description of the brute who near
ly killed Miss Ethel Lawrence and
wounded her niece, Miss Mabel Law
renee, was captured on lower Decatur
street about a. m. Tuesday by Off
GERS Hannah and Russell and is-now
locked in cell at police Headquarters.
When caught, the negro was dodg.
Ing In and out among the shadows.
His clothing was muddy and streaks
OF blood were upon him. His face
bore signs of having been scratched
as II by briars. The story he gave
OF having travelled a long way Mon
day from an adjoining county still
further aroused the officers suspicious
and he was hurried to the station.
During the early morning hours this
negro took off his shirt, which was
bloody, and washed it. When strip
ped little later on, his underclothing
was found to be bloody. He is high
ly nervous and tells conflicting tales.
1t was reported that the police will
secretly take the negro captured to
the Lawrence home for identification
some time Tuesday Their plans are
being kept quiet since it is certain
that a lynching will follow if the
whereabouts of the negro are learned.
1t is even feared that the pC9sice sta
tion may be attacked by a mob.

Buenos Ayres, Aug. 21.-3 a. H.
The Nacion today published a special
dispatch from LaPase, Bolivia, an.
nouncing that 1900 persons lost their
lives as a result Of the earthquake
shocks and fires at Valparaiso; that
ITO deaths from the same causes oc.
Cured at Limache, 40 at Quillota, So
at Conchili, II at Petaro, 80 at La
Placilla and at LaCalera. On Sun.
day, Aug. 10, there was a strong con
vulsion at Valparaiso which produc-
ed further panic.
A dispatch from Santiago announces
thSt President Reisco is proceeding to
Valparaiso accompanied by the minis
ters of the interior and minister of
war to supervise the relief work.
Messages Of sympathy were most
gratefully received by the government
and people and messages of sincere
thanks were cabled back by the Chill
can president.
The railroad from Tiltill to Batuco
is working regularly, but from Tiltil
to Santiago the line is not working.
At Colina, Batuco, Polipico and Tiltil
the railroad stations, stores and dwell
ings have all been destroyed. The
president of Chile has ordered tha.
immediate construction of provisional
buildings Of wood and zinc in order
to house the homeless. Military en-
gineers are now repairing the rail
roads and telegraph lines.
The authorities at Valparaiso are
organizing distributing centers where
food and medicine will be served to
the earthquake sufferers. The latter
are displaying exemplary patriotism
and courage. Large parties of CON
Victs who escaped from the prisons
in Chile have been committing rob-
berries and other crimes at Valparaiso,
Casablanca and Vinadelmar, but the
majority of them have been captur-
ed and summarily dealt with Up
wards of so have been publicly shot
and this severe action on the part of
the authorities is exercising a salu-
tary effect on the convicts who are
still at large.
All the public bodies in Chile are
cooperating in the relief WORK and the
sufferers from the disaster are engag-
ed in repairing the damaged buildings
and the telegraph and railway lines
1t is reported that the Chilean gov
ernment will introduce a bill in con
gress providing for the emission of
$S0000,0O0 in paper notes. The pro
ject also proposes a new national loan
AT 2:30 yes terday there were two
further convulsions at short intervals
at Santiago, but they did no damage.

Women Who Wear Well.

It is astonishing how great a change q
few years of married life often make in
the appearance and disposition of many
women. The freshness, the charm, the
brilliance vanish like the bloom from
peach which is rudely handled. The
matron is only dim shadow, faint echo
of the charming maiden. There are two
reasons for this change, ignorance and
neglect. Few young women appreciate
the shock to the system through the
change which comes with marriage and
motherhood. Many neglect to deal with
the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak
nesseS which too often come with mar
riage and motherhood, not understanding
that this secret drain is robbing the cheek
of it's freshness and the form of it's
fairness.
AS surely as the general health suffers
when there is arrangement of the health
of the delicate womanly organs, so surely
when these organs are established in
health the face and form at once witness
to the fact in renewed comeliness. Nearly
million women have found health and
happiness in the use of DR.. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription. It makes weak wom-
en- strong and sick women well. Ingredi-
ents on label-contains no alcohol or
harmful habit-forming drugs, made
wholly of those native, American, medic
inal roots most highly recommended by
leading medical authorities of all the sew
eral schools of practice for the cure of
woman's peculiar ailments.
For nursing mothers, or for those broken
down in health by too frequent bearing of
children, also for the expectant mothers,
to prepare the system for the coming of
baby and making its advent easy and
almost painless, there is no medicine quite
SO good as UFavorite Prescription It
can do no harm in any condition of the
system. 1t is most potent invigorating
tonic and strengthening nervine nicely
adapted to woman's delicate system by a
physician of large experience in the treat
ment of woman's peculiar ailments.

Says he Conferred Frequently With
Sims About Tradina-FIrst Invest
ment in Cotton Futures Cost Him
Loss of $4,000.
Birmingham, Ala, Aug. 21.-The
preliminary trial Of Alexander R.
Chisholm, who, as paying teller of the
First National Bank, of Birmingham
defaulted for 100000, which he claims
to have lost in bucket shop specula-
ton, and w. ]. Sims and c. M. Hayes,
manager and clerk of Gilbert & Clay,
brokers, charged with aiding and abet-
ting in Chisholm's defalcation, began
Monday before United States Commits
sioner Watts. Chisholm said that
his transactions in cotton, carried on
with Gilbert & Clay, were under the
name of S. M. Webster. He had told
Manager Sims that Webster was a
wealthy friend residing in Augusta,
Ga.
On cross-examination Chisholm told
how, just before he went away on his
vacation recently, he got into the re
serve box of the bank where $150,0Ot
was kept, and got out enough of the
money to supply the deficit in his reg
ular cash. The president of the bank
had left his keys in the reserve box
for few moments and it was then
that Chisholm extracted the money.
Chisholm pleaded not guilty and
waived examination. He then vol
unfairly offered to testify against the
brokers and made a full statement of
his dealings with them and the losses
he had sustained, saying that the cash
used by him belonged to the bank.
P. G. Smith, manager of Foster &
Co., brokers, with which firm CHS
holm is alleged to have squandered
over $4,000 and who has charges
pending against him similar to those
against Sims and Hayes, was not pres,
ent, still being absent from the city.
1t is expected, however, that Smits
will show up before the hearing ends,
as he is said to be enroute from New
York
In his testimony Chisholm said that
he had frequently conferred with Mr..
Sims about trading and that his first
investment last February amounted to
$4,000, on which he sustained a loss
of over $4,000, according to what Sims
had told him. His total losses with
Sims have amounted to over $51, 900.
