recent disastrous political results, the

the Republican party, and that II the Sc :

cent upheayal In politics. and that fact is
having much weight with the President.

exactly understand the manipulation of
the brakes and the two cars came to-
gether with crash which sent the glass

the women to screaming. There was
great rush for the doors and for q

found That no one was hurt and that the
motor was also unframed. The car

TOUGH GANGS.
People IA Greenyille, Lafayette
and West Bergen at the
Mercy of Ruffians.

1t Is the wonder of everybody In the
Greenvflle, Lafayette and West Bergen
sections Of this city that nothing is done
to break up the gangs of toughs that in
fest them. The residents are constantly
complaining of these toughs, and in
many instances never GO out at night un-
less they are well protected. The police
rarely, IL ever, are seen to disturb these
gangs and consequently they have every
thing their own way.
In Greenville the tou9hs congregate in
the vicinity OF the car stables on Gates
avenue. The woods just south OF this
street affords them excellent protection,
and citizens whose business causes them
to pass this place at night are constantly
complaining of tie insulting epithets
known to use violence on several occa-
siOns-
In the West Bergen section Clendenny
and West Side avenues are the meeting
places OF The sClendenny Gang" as they
call themselves. There are several other
gangs in this section, but none of them
are as violent as the Clendenny. II was by
one of this gang that John McMahon was
attacked while returning home from a
sociable recently. McMahon was ac-
costed on Boyd avenue. between West
Side and Bergen avenues, by u rufian
VINO demanded MS money. MCMAHON
manfully refused and in consequence had
hand TO hand scuff1e, and fortunately
came out first best. the tough whistled
for the rest of the gang, who came run
ming up. In the meanwhile Mcmahon
succeeded in freeing himself, and ran
across the lots to Bergen avenue
In Lafayette the chief gang, which is
known as the Glass House Gang,n can
always be found near Conelison and Fair
mount avenues. Acts of violence from
this gang are nothing new to the resi-
dents in this section. The people are
afraid TO make any complaint as then
they are sure to be made the special OBJ
ject of wrath. 1t is the same old story
