New Year's Day Passed without Drunkenness and the Police Court This Morning Was Deserted and Barren of Fines

It was a sane New Year's day. At least the police were not called upon to calm any unusual hilarity, nor to put a quietus upon any midnight celebrating in the streets. As a result there were no prisoners before the Mayor this morning to explain how it happened and to be assessed the usual fine and costs. The police court was deserted, so far as business was concerned. There was not enough excitement to make it interesting during the night watches and the morning hours.

Franklin Times says one of the largest audiences that ever attended a performance In the Blinn theatre, saw the Orpheum Stock Company present “Driven From the Alter,” last night. Every available seat in tlwyhouse was sold and many were turned away. The play pleased Immensely and the company members all came in for a large measure of applause. The specialities again proved of great interest and the aetors were forced to their limit by the repeated applause. The comoompany is proving itself the best popular priced company ever in the city. Their apparent friendliness with each other and the gentlemanlike and lady-like actions both on and off the stage is winning for them ithe friendship and confidence of people generally. For tonight the bill is “A Woman’s Secret,” a strong comedy-drama. There will be special vaudeville work, several new stunts lioiug put on. The matinee yesterday afternoon was-large.

Hurst at once rose and pledged Putnam county's aid to the new chairman in all his undertakings. Thus ended one of the hardest fought battles of the fifth district. Mr. Hurst made an excellent race,

and his strength, 41 on first ballot,

the solid Vigo vote of 36 for the : was phenominal, considering the first ballot made him loom on the ] backing of Mr. Foley. The solid political horizon. Gradually, how- ! Terre Haute delegation did the

work. Out side of Vigo Hurst far out ran Foley. Had it come to a

Park county 11 votes. Vermillion county 7 votes. Putnam county 15 votes. Clay county 18 votes. ”igo county 36 votes. Morgan county 12 votes. Hendicks county 11 votes. It is made a granf ital of 110 votes, and made 56 necessary to elect. Of this number Foley had the 36 of Vigo, whose delegation had been instructed to vote as a unite for Foley on the first ballot. Dr. Tilford had Morgan, and Hurst had Putnam. The other counties were expecting to divide the vote. If there was no election on the first ballot the fight would be between Hurst and Foley, Tilford withdrawing and swinging part of Morgan's vote to Hurst. Thus the old campaigners read the signs of the day. Clay, with 18 votes was looked upon ns doubtful, and both candidates were working hard for those votes. By agreement of ithe candidates Col. C. C. Matson was to be made Chairman of the convention, and John James was to place C. C. Hurst in nomination. Those who were in Terre Haute had no hesitation dn stating that they felt that if Hurst won it would be due to his power as an organizer. He had gone into the fight against a machine of ten jvars standing, and had so arranged and organized the opposition as to be able to break oven at the very first of the days

fight.

The convention convened at 1 o’clock in the Vigo county court

house.
