COLUMBUS, o., March 9.--Tbo ladies
held meetings all day to-day for fasting
and prayer. Seventy-llvo ladies divided
into four squads and visited twenty ga
looms, among them those on west State
street, where they were insultod last
week. No signors were obtained to the
dealers pledge. The ladies also visited
| THE BUSINESS COLI EaEs.
One college principal signed the pledge
and invited his pupils to do SO. Many
signatures TO tho citizens pledge were
obtained here. At another college tho
principal himself refused TO sign, but tho
greater part of his pupils signed.
MRS. DEssELEN,
president of tho crusade and ono of the
most active workers of the ladies' league,
said she was not in the least discouraged
| at the progress thus far made; for, while
| no dealers had yet surrendered, che was
| supported in her labor by tho knowledge
that the ladies arc having a good in flu
ence on the community generally, and
arc spreading tho gospel among people
| whom the churches have failed to reach;
and If the Lord was willing that the sa-
looms should not close for two months or
more, che was ready to cay amen and
keep at work on the streets until all the
| work is accomplished.

DAYTON, March 9.-The second day of
tho woman's attack Oh King Alchohol
was moro exciting than tho first. Tho
W her was pleasant, so that great crowds
surrounded the besiegers. Four detach-
ments marched from the church in sue
cession, taking up their line of march for
the looms that were visit, the first day.
They were excluded from most they visit
ed and recoiv I at the door by saloonists
with cold courtesy. The saloonists wore
not rejoiced to see them, and more especi-
ally were they uneasy under the decision
of Judge Smith declaring that violations
of law must come into court for re-
dress with clean hands. The women
prayed and sang, surrounded generally
by large crowds all day long. At Had
lick's beer saloon in the afternoon, over n
thousand curious men and boys encem
pfssed them, and the stree. wa.
blockaded by vehicles. When the wo
men closed praying and began shining,
they were cheered, and the multitud,
pushed in tho bar-room for beer. His bust.
ness WAS as great in the aggregate to-day
ss during a whole ordinary week, and 80
at other places. While the band was play

exhibited signs of surrender, but some o
them showed evaporation and at ont

that they will not be disturbed. Tho i'm
