VOTE UNUSUALLY HEAVY Torrence Lost His Own Township Carried .Fifth and Sixth Wards in Richmond. Yesterday the Gardner taction of the Republican party of Wayne Comity made a clean sweep in the different township and ward elections and completely defeated the efforts of the opposing element to name eonjinitteeirien pledged to F. L. Torrence for County Chairman. The fiht has been a long bitter one, ami both faction were in doubt of the result until the returns commenced to come in from the outlying townships late yesterday afternoon, naming with but two exceptions (Jardner men as members of the County Ccn- . tral Committee and Carr men as delegates to the convention at Shelby -ville next Tuesday. The result throughout the county 'exclusive of Wayne township practically assured (Jardner of his renomination but at the several ward meetings last evening his constituents were still in the race and sought to make Gardner's election unanimous in the city. The Torrence forces, however, stood their attacks well and in both the Fifth and Sixth wards elected their committeemen and dele- . gates. The fight has been a hard one and knowing this, both forces used all their efforts to have a heavy vote polledith the result, that more men were in attendance at. the ward meetings last evening than ever before at a similar election. It is estimated that fully three times as many votes were cast taking the city over as at any election of this kind before. Early in the evening the voters - from the different wards assembled at their meeting places and both factions had "lobbyists" on hand with . printed ballots. These were distributed after electing a temporary chairman and the work of the meeting commenced. In some cases the fights were long and bitter and in both theseeond and third wards the (Gardner forces were victorious with but a margin of some thirty votes, when the total vole polled was in the neighborhood of two or three hundred. In the Sixth Ward, the Torrence men had everything so neatly arranged that tjioir whole slate, including temporary chairman, county committeemen, delegates and precinct committeemen went through with a good majority at its back. In the Fifth ward, the Torrence forces were not so well organized, but after a hard fight, they succeeded in naming their s committeeman and delegates, with a majority of " but twenty-five. This ward was considered' a 'doubtful one by both forces and returns were the last to be ent to headquarters although at that time the results of the election could not be changed by a single ward. The victory J of this faction in Wayne County is the same as it was in the other counties in the Sixth District. Everywhere the Carr legions scored large victories and from the reports nw coming in from the different counties, it is, evjdent .that Carr will have no trouble in securing the -chairmanship. at the district con-, vention. His opponent is Joseph Commons, of Centerville, whoso force were yesterday evervwhere demornlizedj . , In ettvJmuiy. ,. went ' - practically solid for Carr and the

vottfii Henry County 'gives., twenty I one 'put of twenty two delegates to j Carr. Carr won -victories in Shelby-; and Rush counties and his forces were not ' afraid ' of the remaining parts of the district, j In summing up the whole county, it is found that there are nineteen cut of twenty-four committeemen elected who are pledged to Gardner (Continued to Page 8.J

His Office A Good Place to Hear "Hard Luck" StoriesMany Turned Down. Township Trustee Potter is having his ha mis full now answering the demands of the jKjor of the city in the shape of groceries and fuel. He stated yesterday that for the past month or more he had received on an averiige of twenty-five and thirty petitions a week for assistance. Many of those applicants are ignored by Mr. Potter as he says they ara unworthy.

The trustee's office is a good place to hear "hard luck" stories and many are pathetic to the extreme. The cold weather has put many "transients" on the move ami each day several of this class apply for vinleis board at the County Infirmary but all are turned down as the law s! ipulal.es that none but residents of C is county can be placed in the Wavue County Infirmary. A CORRECTED LIST. The corrected list of the members of the Weil Memorial Hospital follows: Hospital Committee Geo. II. Eggemeyer, John II. Johnson, Adam IT. .Bart el, John L. Wupe, member exoflicio. Finance Committee S. S. Strattan Jr., M. II. Dill, Samuel W. Gaar, John L. Wupe, member ex-officio. RICHMOND NOW FREE OF TRAMPS CAPT. TRUMP OF RICHMOND DIVISION POLICE SAYS "BOES" ARE SCARCE. RULES ARE NOW STRINGENT When Freight Riders Come to City It is Generally to Take Lodgment In Jail. The old time custom for the "hoboes" to journey from one end of the country to the other on freight trains and the trucks of passenger cars is about done away with and since the stringent laws have been in force few 'transient "boes" have been seen in this city. J. C. Trump, who is captain of the police of the Richmond division of the Pennsylvania Lines, says that the gents of leisure jrive that road a wide berth. When a tramp is caught on a Pennsylvania freight train, "bumming" a ride he is conveyed to the nearest lockup and usually gets the limit. Instead of being kicked off by the trainmen as in the good old days of free rides and square . country meals the tramps find themselves up against about ninety days of hard labor and the idea , is discouraging to the majority of them. Richmond has not -been the stopping place of tramps. for years and rarely are any suspicious characters to be found loafing around. Much of this is due to the railroad companies, who provide , deetectives to watch their trains and when the hobo comes into" Richmond he- usually Monies in wearing a pair of handcuffs.

ASSOCIATED CHARITIES COMMITTEE ISSUES STATEMENT OF NEEDS OF INSTITUTION.

TREASURY IS GETTING LOW And Answers to Circular Issued For Help Have Been Slow In Coming In. During the bad weather of the past few days the resources of the Associated Charities have been drawn upon heavily and the committee has found it necessary to issue a statement to the public in the hope of getting further help for the destitute of Richmond. The appeal sent forth yesterday follows: This Asociation is not a stock company. It is not a money-making concern. It is simply a number of very busy men and women in our city, willing, besides the other burdens which they bear, to take upon themselves this burden also, to be associated together for the comfort and relief of the poor and needy in our

midst. We all know that we have such among us. A great deal of work can aud is being done without money, but much of the relief cannot be done without paying for it. The money we handle must come front our people who are more fortunate. In October last we sent out CG2 circular letters to such whom the committee vfelt could do something for this eause. ,Of this number 1C4 have responded with various, gifts to this cause; 12, have sent. regrets that thev were not able to do anvthincr. , This leaves 486 from whom we have not heard. The amount of money which, we have received is $632.10. Out of this amount the bills of the past four months have been paid. Hence our treasury is low. The severe weather is upon us. We dare not drop this work. It will -be such an easy matter for each one who is able to bring relief to this worthy causo. There must be many in' our citv to 'whom; no circular was sent who will be glad to do something. May we not hear from, you .without . delay. ,." Do not lay this aside without, doing what your heart prompts you to' do. Send your remittance or subscription to Mrs., Mather, 326 North Twelfth street. Do this without delay, and yon will help to lift a great burden, which now presses very heavily upon the hearts of a few. THE COMMITTEE. The meeting of the merchants association which was to have met 1 night postponed their meeting until the evening1 of Januarv 10th.

It is more than probable that the grand jury will hold no session during the January term of court owing to the fact" 'that there is no case reouiring its investigation. In case an important arrest in the Lucy murder case is made then the grand jury will convene. "

U. yesterday afternoon at the home of Mrs. Eves, South Sixteenth street, a committee consisting of Mrs. Morris and Mrs. Eves was appointed to draw up letters to Senators lieveridge and Hemenway asking them to use their influence in having the canteen kept out of the army. The next meeting will be held with' Mrs. Rachel Hill, at which time further action will be taken in the matter.

PETITIONED COURT To Send the Sweitzer Children to an Orphans' Home. The Board of Children's Guardians petitioned yesterday to have Carl, Sampel and Phillip Sweitzer, sons of Mrs. Elizabeth Sweitzer, sent to some orphan asylum. These lads are very young and the mother on January 9 was convicted, with Clarence Ilolden, of improper conduct and given a sentence of 90 'days in the county jail. The boys will probably be sent to White's Institute. GRAZE SWEEPS OVER COUNTRY HENLEY FACTORY IS SENDING ROLLER SKATES TO MANY STATES. FULL FORCE MEN WORKING Fifty Thousand Pairs Have Been Made This Season Mr. Henley's Prediction. The roller skating craze which is sweeping over the country with much force is very profitable, to the skate manufacturing concerns and the Henley Roller Skate Works reports an almost unparalleled demand f of r ' ' rollers. ' ' Everywhere the fad seems to be striking aud the younger generation is just as anxious to skate as were their parents twenty-five years ago and as Manager Bell of the skate ' factory said, there are more of them. , Since early in the fall a full foree of men has been steadily employed in filling the orders and shipments have been made to all parts of the country. Orders come in calling for ffrom fifty to' two thousand pairs of all grades and up until the present time the factory ; has been several thousand behind its orders. This week shipments of over a thousand pairs were made to both California and to Maryland, 'showing- that the fad is not confined to" one locality but' is general everywhere. In all over 50,000 pairs' -hare been made and shipped since the' beginning of the season and orders ''are on hand for ''-.'thousands more. ; '' "' ' -";'"''' " - --; M7 C. Henley and Mr.' Bell olh think that5 in ahort time the craze will1 be equal to the one which prevailed twenty-five years ago, and indications are that roller skating wilf be even more-popular1.4 ; - - ADJOURNED TILL MONDAY. Owing to the ilhvess of one of the principal '"witnesses for the defense, the case of Frank Allen vs. the Richmond Casket company for .$ 10.000 was ndjourned yesterday afternoon until Monday morning. The defense took up its case yesterday morning1 and will probably conehvle the case some time Monday. The case so far has been hard fought and many fine legal points have.bee;r rni?-ed.

FROM DISTRICTS WHICH ELECTED YESTERDAY INDICATIONS POINT TO HIS ELECTION.

MAY HAVE NINE MEMBERS Out of Thirteen On State BoardBeveridge Forces Still Hopeful. However.

Palladium Special Dispatch: Indianapolis, Jml., January 12. Owing to the fact .that the Republican primaries for the selection of delegates to the Republican district conventions which will meet on Tuesday to select inembers of the new state central committee, were held in only a limited number, of counties today, the returns can not be expected to foreshadow the result with certainty. But the tendency is plainly towards James P. Goodrich,. 'present Chairman and if the conventions to be held tomorrow follow the lead which has been taken today his election as campaign chairman is assured and Vice President Fairbanks has again won the control of the committee. - "'".'' ';';' The contests in a -majority of the cities in which primaries were held were very determined and both sides succeeded in getting out heavy votes, thus delaying the returns. In the first district the influence of Senator Hemenway and Congressman Foster was exerted in favor of Philip Darby and it is declared-that, he will be an easy winner in the district convention. Darby is for Goodrich in the ; ' second district.' Joseph Baar, -another . Goodrich, man "carrier the primaries as far as held today, and is regarded j as an easy winner. V ; At Elettsville, the primary was ' marked by great disorder and a free for all fight in which Thomas Ridge was struck over the head with a chair by II. II. Grant and severely injured. The convention nearly broke up as a result of the fight. The Third district will probably elect Joseph Throop, who is. for" Goodrich, it being conceded apparently that the opposition to him will make but little showing in the convention. Shideler who is the Beveridge candidate will probably have the support of the, committeemen' to be elected in the

Fifth, Tenth and Eleventh districts with the Twelfth and Thirteenth in doubt, while Goodrich will control the Sixth and Eighth. - In this district, where the Beveridge and Fairbank's men have been, making a desperate fight to elect delegates favorable fov the candidate's for chairman. Both factions are claiming the victory tonight but it , seems from the returns now in that Ensley, who represents Beveridge is decidedly in the lead. The county precincts, however, are still to' hear : from and William Bosson the Fairbanks man loes not concede his de- ' feat. The best judgment at this hour " with many counties riot fully reported and some notreporied ' at 'all is that Goodrich will have eight ' members of the committee if not nine. " FUNERAL SUNDAY.'
