From an occasional Correspondent or tne sentinel.
Richmond, Ind., Feb. 20. This P. M., in
spite of a drizzling rain, about seventy-five
ladies and several gentlemen met at the rooms of the Y. M. C. A. to form plans Jot the organization of forces for saloon work. The meeting was opened by Mrs. Mendenhall, who lead a portion of Scripture, after
which all joined in praj-er, ana a general
expression of feeling was alterward called
for and given. A report was then read con
cerning the number of saloons, Ac, in Rich
mond. This information was iromtue cniei of v-olice, as follows; " There are 31 saloons
n the city, only one ot which is licensed.
Four petitions to svll liquor are now ready
to be presented. There are 10 drug stores
where liquor is sold; at some oi tnem very freely, it is affirmed." Mrs. Mendenhall, Fletcher, and other ladies who have been working at Cambridge, gave some incidents
of tbtir experience, and a gentleman from
there to-day said tbe work was a success in
that place. Remarks Dy the Reverend
Messrs. Hughes, McKay and Gillam ex

committee, the meeting adjourned to meet

THE COLUMBUS CRUSADE.
A NEW FLANK MOVEMENT BY THE QUAKER
WOMEN" ITS A LONO LANE THAT HAS NO TURNING."
From an Occasional Correspondent of the Sentinel.1
CoLUMnus, Indiana, Feb. 20 It has been
raining hard all day, and a stranger would think the Quaker Friends would stay in the churches, and pray and sing lor the saloon
keepers there, but a looker on would think different, for he could have seen them twice
to-day. singing and prayina In front of
every saloon. They were admitted into
several of the saloons to-day. Tbe " Retail Liquor Dealers Association" held a secret
meeting last evening, it is not known
what business they had before them.
Schwartzkoff, who admitted the ladles yes
terday, closed his doors to-day and they held their meeting in front of his saloon.
Schinnerer, "the hand organ man" still
closes bis doors but there is nothing to
interrupt them, he ia heartily ashamed of himself and would give almost anything if he bad let the "organ" alone. Regular prayer meetings are held every morning in the Christian church and our town is just like Sunday, from half-past eight until ten
o'clock. Three-fourths of the business
houses close and every oue attends the meetings. The ladies have at last hit upon a plan that will

The building was finished in December last, and is without a doubt the finest structure of its size in the state. During this time a 15.00 per night state lecturer of the Patron of Husbandry works stealthily in th midst of the farming community, and now raise the curtain to alow music and lo! 60O grangers meet your astonished gaze, you inquire why this is bo, and receive the comforting answer, wait and see. The commissioners meet in extra session to settle with the contractor, who niakos it out to tbe commissioners that he hu lost at least $10,000 in the contract, ( n.yfetery No. 2,) and the county fathers in their generosity and benevolence make Mr. Farnman a present of $400 out cf the county treasurv. Now then, presto chance to
jens suit, No. 14 boots, and checkered
shirt and the central grange of this (Corrall) county cornea forth with a resolution bitterly denouncing said business, and forthwith enter uit against said commissioners, and now they, the eounty commissioners, mourn and refuse to be comforted, because they stand no chance lor re-election. Mouey here is worth at least 100 cents for a dollar, and if it gets any scarcer of course the price will go up, and the farmers do not relish the joke ot giving away 400 for not bio g. The temperance movement has not been agitated much here yet. Baxter will lecture here one week from next Sabbath, and some of the zealous praying women may then have an opportunity to exhibit their power. Some ot the saloon men have their persons hired to lead the singing in case it is started, and if it is there will be some excitement over it. Cato.

Mr. DeLong had j nit enough faith in the correctness of Mrs. DeLong's communication to want to -see whatthtrewasini. anyway. So the next day he called 0 Mr. Madden, at the Oocidental hotel.

that he was ready to make a settlement at any time. This was readily consented to by

TILS. WAR IN MUNCIE. PROGRESS OH THE 'WORK THE " TEA VELIN
SALOON" HOW IT WAS VANQUISHED. ! From an ocxa&ional Correspondent ot tbe-Seoticfll. MJdncie, Ind , February 21. To-day at precisely ten o'clock and twenty minutes, tbe long prayed for ladies' crusade against the rum sellers commenced, notwithstanding the continued, tall of rain. Although no decided victories-were gained, it is certain an impression was made on those when the
ladies visited, and they surely have greater cause for hope of final success- that at any time since tbe first meeting at the Operahouse two weeks ago. Each day sicco then meetings have been held in the different churches, property holder's, youth's, physicians, druggists and citizens? pledges have been circulated, and but lew refused to Bign. At the time above mentioned, forty-nine
earnest, piayiug ladies entered the saloon of
J. Srown, who received uem very gentlemanly, but would make no promises, although, before they lett,. he became very
nervous. The next place visited was the
saloon ot John Kirk. Kirk received the la dies very politely, yet with sa air of deli
ance. We have in Muaice what is known
as a "traveling saloon." ibis is the most
abominable institution of the kind in our
midst. The proprietor is a man who haa
ser ved a number of months in the county jail tor selling liquor illegally. He has now.
procured a government license, and walks
our streets wearing a huge overcoat, iu tha
pocketa of which he-car nee a bottle of whisky and a glass. Thus, prepared, he deals out to
the-young as well as the old, the poisonous
Uuids. Tbe ladic found this man at his
residence, where he had, on a table in tbe
center of the room, two bottles of nhlskv
and a hymn book. When a few pray era had
been offered, h proposed to give up what
liouor he had. and bv to-morrow h wnnld
sign a total-abstinence pledge, if the ladies
would give bim $2x00, to which tbe ladies consented. On Monday the ladies, will make
