YOUNGSTOWN, O., March 3lst, 1874.
Editors Wheeling IntOllIgencer:
Thinking that perhaps few lines from
this young city would be acceptable to
you and your readers, ! will undertake to
give you "the news" about town. The
principal subject Of conversation on the
streets. In the stores, offices and shops, Ia
the Women's War on Whisky. The
daily aalutatlons are, "Are they out this
mornlngE Where are they this after
noon !" (which way are they now ?" &c.
Temperance meetings have been held
at the churches for the last two weeks,
and the ladies have been visiting the
saloons, holding services, singing and
praying, and asking the saloon keepers to
sign the pledge. One Pat Clark signed It
and turned his grog In the street, and
Eben Davis said he would quit as soon as
he sells what he has on hand, and that is
not much. There are three hundred and
thlrty.eight saloons here; so you sec the
ladies have work before them. The
Women's Union Temperance League Of
the city already numbers three hundred
and sixty, and more are being added daily.
Last Sabbath evening there was q large
temperance mass meeting held in the new
Opera House, presided over by the Rev.
Jno. Peste, Of the N. E. Church. From
1900 to 1900 persons were present.
The voters are somewhat excited Just
now about "who Is going to be Mayor"
They can't all be satisfied with one, two
or three candidates, but must have half q
dozen or so. The Temperance party have

dates. Can't you send "Boose Leasure"
up here to run for Mayor?
Business is still pretty dull here, al
though all the mills and other public
works are running on full time. Pudlers
had better stay away from here, for the
mills are oyerrun with them from Miles

The steubenyllle ModuS Operandi.

The whisky war still goes on at Steu-
benville, and Mr.. and Mrs. BUTTE, the.
scriptural saloonists, still hold out, as also
10 several others engaged in the business.
The Ladies Temperance League" seems
to be disciplined organization and to be
divided into working details Tor fatigue
duty at the various points around the
city where the saloons are still un
closed. These details are called "bands."
One Of them Is lead by Mrs. FRYE, an
other by Mrs. BRowNLEE an other by Mrs.
oDBERT, and still another by Mrs. Dun
DAR. They report their operations from
day to day, or as often as they go out, and
their reports are published in the news
papers; For instance, we read that Mrs.
FRYE's band visited Mr.. MALoNE's saloon
on North Third street. on Monday, and
reported thus as to the result Of their
visit
Mr. N. thinks he Is not doing as much
harm selling whisky as the ladies' are do
ing BY creating public sentiment against
It,, theteby causing poor saloon keepers
who violate the law 10 become amenable
to the law. At Mr.. WoodR they found
the door closed and the knob taken of,
rendering admitance impossible to any
but these possessing the "pass. .word.h
They there sang behold stranger at
the door" and had prayers. Mr.. Teryey
still talks ol giving up the buainess, and
received the ladies very kindly. Mr..
Collins does not think he Is doing wrong
and seems to think the protective license
will cure all errors In this business.
Another band, that Of Mrs. opBRRr,
visited q saloon kept by a Mr.. CoNRoY,
sud report that
MIR. Conroy said he would not quit the
business until he had sold his stock. A,
Shafer's they found the door locked, and
commenced service on the sidewalk, wher
Mrs. Shafier opened the door and invited
them to come inside to sing and pray
AT Mr.. Cossgrove's the ladies were re-
ceived. While they conversed with the
man, they were not allowed 10 have
prayer In the saloon. While the services
were being held outside quite an exciting
scene occurred within, the particulars o.
which We are not prepared 10 give
From CoSSgroVes they went TO Mr.
Scanlan's, where they were not admitted
Mrs, DUNDAR's band visited a place
kept by Mrs, FLoTo, and reported as
follows:
Visited Mrs, Floto's; prayed and sang
several times. Earnestly entreated her tC
come on the temperance side, and the side
Of the Lord. After earnest prayers, they

saloon keepers, whom they trusted Got
would bleas before they parted. They
then visited Peter Miller, whose door wa

The first speaker defined Conscience to
be the soul, and stated that the Con-
science acted on the mind and the mind
on the will, Also, the Conscience was
not fully matured until acted upon by
the "DiVine Word"
Second speaker defined Conscience to
be that faculty Of the mind, that decides
upon what 1t deems to be right or wrong.
Third speaker defined Conscience to be
that faculty OF the mind, which decides
upon which Is right or wrong.
These were the definitions, and upon
these three definitions the question was
argued, and resulted in an unanimous de.
cision in favor Of the affirmative though
the affirmative conceded that Conscience
could be taught. The County superin-
tendant Of this county was ono Of the de.
baters.
