STEUBEXvILLE, November II. - Tit
Steubenville City Council, We venture Il
say, has more business on hand at presen
than any ike body in the country. and the
question Of whether it will be able tc
wade" through with all this winter re
mains to be seen. Besides the organiza
ton of paid fire department and an ct
fort to down all electric light companies
that may ask to stretehstheir wires in ths
city, it has undertaken the reformation Of
the youth of the city by laying down Ger,
tain prescribed rules for the skating Kinks
to run under, and now comes q member
who makes sort of general charges against
the entire police force for drunkenness and
visiting houses of i'll fame. His lsst charge
was a surprise to many who we're Of the
opinion, and Justly too, that the police
force of the city was composed OF as good.
if not a better set of men, than those OF
many other cities in the country.
1t is claimed by some members OF Coun.
Gil that reports have reached their ears to
the effect that the police do many wicked
things after the city is slumbering and it
has been decided to investigate the charges
by committee of Council. One police.
man is said to have been found in help.
less state of intoxicatio1, lying in the gut
ter; another is charged with visiting q Ger.
tain woman; others are charged with doing
numerous wicked acts and the consequence
will be that a very nasty investigation will
take place.
The question then presents itssh, are the
police guilty. The general opinion pre-,
vailing is that they are not. While they
may take glass of beer or play game
of pool oct ssionally, it is well known fact
that they keep the city quiet, and there
are very few crimes committed. Ofcourse
if they are as guilty as some people charge
them with being, they should be removed;
but public sentiment Is with the officers
and it will take proof to convince the peo-
pie that they are guilty.
The notorious Dave Goder has again
been captured by the officers, for causing
q disturbance last Thursday night in the
upper end Of the city He attempted to
break in Nellie Jones's house, but was cap
tured by the police before any damage was
done Dave will take trip to the Cleve-
land workhouse for a period of three
months.
