ABAD, BAD RECORD
Tho criminal record is 50 bad in New
ark that three men were arrested for
murder in 1890, three gambling hells were
pulled because OF the trouble the
brawls In them created; four
men were arrested for melting
peaceful mechanics to riot and for alt
causes total or 4 041 arrests were made
last year. In 1857 there were 6 294 per-
sons arrested, and In 1855 but 5. 1865 This
shows = steady increase in crime aitogeths
er OUT of proportion to the growth of the
city. Newark is truly wicked city and
II daily becomes more SO. 1t is so abso-
lutely bad, aud there is SO little hone that
il will ever become better that the only
professional hangman in New Jersey has
selected 1t as the appropriats place to
live in. Hangman Van Hise IS a sbrewd
man IN his business sud he has made lis
headquarters naturally where the bush

He knows how wicked Newark is and

that there are more than two hundred
policy shops in Newark.

BUNCo sTEERERs TOO
Newark is also the headquarters of a
gang of bunco sseerers, thlmblerig and
three card monte men, who are called
cross roads, men. because they cross
from one part of the State to anorher at
an hours notice, for the purpose OF feec-
ing country people ut fairs or any public
gathering. These fellows also operate in
Newark. The green goods scoundrels
are as open IN dong their nefarous work
as honest men would be in legitimate
business. Some of these swindlers who

Patsey Colrigan, Slin Jim, Sheeney

RUNS WICKED FORCES
That Newark encourages vice is evident
from the following figures:-rhe city this
year has licensed ,225 rum shops. In
1880 the number licensed was IL 10 Three
free and easy' concert saloons are
licensed and are at liberty to corrupt
morals az Will All druggists in the city
have government license to sell liquor
and there is large number who dispose
OF 1t without requiring DOCTORS pre-
scFipsion. The many club houses in che
city are are all supplied with bars and
they are well patronized. In addition to
all these places where liquor is sold New
ark has sixteen breweries which manu-
faeture beer and ale.

The purpose OF counting the number OF
rum shops on it. 1t was the block be-
