Several Saloons surrendered to. day IN

the wickedest preacher in Ohio, has re.
appeared, trying in frantic underhanded
way TO trustrate the movement. He Is q
peculiar burlesque, swearing vehem emily
and drinking hard. The ladies are pray.
Ing hard for him. There was q tremen.
dious mass meeting last night and another
tonight. The ladies visit the lowest
saloons and are well received and assured
that no liquor shall be sold at this place.
Without exaggeration, 1t Is next to impos.
sible to get glass Of liquor in the place.
Saloon keepers swear they won't sell It,
aud dry topers prove their words by the
sadness Of their faces.
CINCINNATI, Feb. "a Gazette special
from Ripley says the women's temper.
ance movement Is at fever heat in that
place, and that 10 out OF 2S saloon keepers
have signed the pledge, and abandoned
the business. It Is taking o profound
religious turn. Men hold daily prayer
meetings for nine hours, while the women
visit the saloons. The meetings are
crowded, and deep religious interest is
manifested. The ladies visit the steamers
ct the landing and call upon the bar
keepers not to sell to the citizens. They
have been met kindly by the captains and
bar.keepers Of the boats. Ripley is one
OF the largest towns in which the work
has gone on.
Preparations are being made in Dayton,
and DR.. Dio Lewis Is here now, and is
expected to make an effort to start the
movement. In all the southern part Of
the State the excitement on the subject Is

Onlu OaASA ANNAAAASSS- ENAAN
There Is to be- regular monthly meet.
log of the City Council this evening, and
we understand that the expedlency Of
bringing up st this meeting the subscrip-
tIons named at the head Of this article has
been mooted. Our readers are generally
aware that little over year ago the
Council passed au Ordinance providing
Tor a subscription Of $SOOOOO to the
Wheeling Il Lake Erie road, and also for
similar subscription to the Wheeling &
Ohio Union Railroad Company. mother
words, on the night Of the 2Oth Of
January, 1873, they voted six hundred
thousand dollars ID the two project.
These subscriptions have never yet been
executed. An Injunction was sued out by
certain tax payers restraining the Issue Of
the bonds provided ior in the Ordinance.
The validity Of that injunction Is to be
decided, perhaps, at the present term Of
tie Court of Appeals. The point has
been raised whether prior to that decision,
Or even afterwards, Is not competent for
tue city council, II they see fit, to revoke
their subscription; or, in other words. to
Tspeal lhe ordinance authorizing such q
subscription. Up to this time the Wheel.
lDg & Lake Erie road has not of course
complied with the terms ol the ordinance
and Of course no rights have vested in 1t
10 that way. The question Is then
whether under the circumstances,
and especially in view of the
best interests ol the city, the ordinance
should not be repealed. The debt Of the
city is now about 100000. II these two
subscriptions stand the debt will be
1920, 900 and our taxes will of course be
heavily increased. AS correspondent OF
this paper has shown, we will need
various improvements within few years
that will add largely TO our present In
deDtedness, such as new water works
100000 and paving our streets ($9OO,.
600 more besides sewerage. to the extent
of$l5O.OOO more, saying nothing about a
new Court House or the bridges talked OF.
We have no desire to stir up any feel
log In this matter. 1t is not question
Tor partisauship. 30 far as the tax payers.
Of the city are concerned, they are all in
the same boat. There can be no harm in
giving the matter the serious attention
that Its great Importance warrants.
We have seen how money can be wasted
10 little or no purpose in railroads. Near.
ly every enterprise we touch costs US
more or leas Of sad experience. We have
u fresh experience on hand al this time,
10 the Pittsburgh, Wheeling & Kentucky
Railroad. The question is, do we want
still more of such experiences, and of still
larger proportions
