Vivro County. TERRE HAUTE, Ind., Nov. 8.-Vigo county is very close on the state ticket, but no comparison can be made with 1896 because the precincts have been changed. The Republicans are claiming two or three county offices, neither of which is a member of the Legislature. Both Faris and Hamill are falling short of voteß on state ticket. Less than one-half of the precincts were in by 2 a. m., aid It cannot be told how the county has gfne. but the indicaation is that the Democrats have carried It. The county Democratic ticket Is ahead of the

state ticket, and the chances are even that their candidates for the legislature have been elected. Warren County. WILLIAMSPORT, Ind., Nov. B.—Thirteen precincts give 1,485 Republican, 544 Democratic; Republican loss, 21. Republicans elect county ticket. Wnlrnsh County. WABASH, Ind., Nov. S.—Half of the thir-ty-eight precincts in Wabash county indicate a Republican majority of fourteen hundred, or the same as in 1898. George W. Steele, for Congress, runs probably one hundred behind the state ticket. The county ticket pulls through by from thirteen to fourteen hundred. Sherman King. Rep., elected to the General Assembly. There is a falling off in the vote from two years ago of 15 per cent., both parties suffering. Returns from the other five counties in the Eleventh congressional district render certain the election of George W. Steele to Congress over Michael, Dem., by from 4,000 to 4,500. Washington County. SALEM, Ind., Nov. 9.—Sixteen precincts In Washington county out of twenty-six give Ralston 1,426, Hunt 1,290. The same gave Bryan 1,527, McKinley 1,519; net Republican loss, 2S.

THE GREAT TENOR DEAD MAX ALVARY SUCCUMBED TO CANCER AT HIS THURINGIAN HOME. Ills Fame nested on Unrivaled Impersonation of Siegfried—Last Appearance in Thin City. BERLIN, Nov. B.—Max Alvary, the popular German operatic tenor, who sang during many seasons in the United States, is dead. He expired at Tabars, Thuringia. It was announced three months ago that Max Alvary was impoverished and suffering from cancer of the stomach at his home in Thuringia, Business losses, two years of enforced idleness and the cost of medical attendance, it was said, had swept away his fortune, even his life insurance having been mortgaged to save the home he had beeen building for his wife and children. It was further asserted that friends in this country subscribed to a fund in his behalf, hoping to save for Alvary’s wife and children the home he had planned for them in happier days. Max Alvary was seen in this city with the Damrosch Opera Company four years ago in the role of Lohengrin. It was on his last tour of America. For several years past the singer has been in poor health and his friends have known that it was of a serious nature. But it is only since his return to Germany that his condition became grave. Frau Alvary two years ago became tlie mother of her thirteenth child. Not all of them are living. Max Alvary had been identified with the Stadt Theater in Hamburg for several years. He sang in the same company with Mme. Klafsky until the season of her death in Hamburg under tragic circumstances following their American engagement. He had sung at Bayreuth in “Tannhauser” and “Tristan and Isolde,’’ and had appeared in London with the German opera companies that were taken there under Pollini’s management. But he had made his reputation in this country, and when he returned to Germany he immediately took his place among the foremost heroic tenors of that country. He was a young man w’hen he appeared here first, and some idea of his development at the Metropolitan Opera House may be gathered from the fact that he made his debut in that city as Don Jose in “Carmen” and after a few years created the young Siegfried when the opera “Siegfried” was first sung in New York. It is with this role that his fame is chiefly associated, and on his last visit to this country his performance of the part was us remarkable as it ever had been, although he was not so young a man by several years as when he first expressed with such remarkable success the youthfulness and ingenuousness of the character. He became a great favorite with the audiences at the Metropolitan when Anton Seidl directed the German season there, and particularly with the young women who were regular attendants at the opera. He made ills farewell appearance in 1889 as Siegfried, and it was after that matinee that he wins the subject of a demonstration that, remarkable as it was, showed the position which he held in the affections of certain of his admirers. A crowd of women, young and old, gathered at the stage door of the opera house on Fortieth street, and Alvary’s progress across the sidewalk to his waiting carriage was interrupted by the violent farewells of the crowd, and several young women are said to have embraced him with an enthusiasm which he was powerless to prevent. He was a married man at that time, but this fact did not cool the affection of the young women who were overwhelmed with grief at the thought of losing their favorite tenor. When he returned to this country in 1594 it was seen that he had still remained youthful and athletic, although the old-time furore of his admirers was not revived. He was careful of his looks, and is said to have taken good care to avoid increasing weight. During his first season here with the Damrosch company Herr Alvary sang Siegfried for the hundredth time. He appeared first in the role on Nov. 9, ISB9. The tenor’s family name was Aschenbaeh and bis father was a scene painter of Germany. He was born about forty-two years ago in Dusseldorf and as a young man sang in the local societies and in the school choirs. He studied singing first under Lamperte, and, expecting to remain a light tenor, is said to have devoted his time first to the music of the old repertoire. Max Alvary inherited some of his father’s artistic tastes and is said to have assisted in designing the costumes for the production of Walter Damrosch’s opera ’’The Scarlet Letter.” His debut as a singer was made at AVeimar, but he was shortly afterward brought to this country and at the Metropolitan Opera House gained his reputation as a Wagnerian tenor.
