LONG BRANCH
PESTERED BY
NEGRO THUGS
Two Daring Stage HOld-ups
and Attempted Burglary
Their Recent Crimes.
[spectal to tho Evening star.l

LONG BRANCH, Sept. 20.--This city
is in the hands of gang CT negro
thugs. whose operations are so daring
that even the police are astonished
The negro gangs work is so finely done
that there is never a trace of them left
by which an arrest can be made.
Within the past week there have been
two holdups in the city, in the very
heart of the finest residential district,
that almost rival the Wild West affairs
of the days Of the Deadwood coach.
Both times 1t was stage driver that
was tackled. one time when he had a
companion in the conveyance and tho
other time when the driver, this time
a boy, was preparing to go home.
In the first instance the robbers tried
no subterfuge. They boldly walked out.
aud placing a revolver in the drivers
ear and threatening the other man. de-
manded their money. Twenty dollars
was secured this time.
On the other occasion, which hap
pened night before last, one of the men
got in the stage and engaged the boy
in conversation while the other c4spt
up behind him. When all was right
there was a spring. and the robbers IN
an instant had the boy prone on his
back A handkerchief stuck In his
mouth prevented an outcry. He was
relieved of $5. On both occasions the
robbers took the reins from the horse
and carried them away, thus prevent
ing immediate pursuit.
Last night there was another attempt
made by one of the negro gang to get
in the home of Mrs. Louis Miller. wife
of the city's leading jeweler and a
prominent society woman. The Millers
live in Fifth avenue, and at the time
that the man was there Mrs. Miller was
alone in the house with her little boy.
The robber went all about the house
and tried to get in through the wins
dows, but all were fastened. The APP
pearance of one of the neighbors put
him to flight
In every case the police were on the
scene in a short time. last night within
three minutes from the time the affair
occurred, but there has never been
trail that could be followed.

GETS
IN ROAST ON
REPUBLICANS

There was a lively meeting of the Leveen
Democratic Association In its headquarters
at Springfield and Morris avenues last
night Besides the nomination for officers
Jacob l.. Newman, who presided over the
Democratic county convention, held this
week, fired the opening gun of the Guber-
natorial campaign by predicting sweep
ing Democratic victory. Within few
hours after the Republicans had nominated
Judge j. Franklin Fort as their standard
bearer, the speaker asserted that the candi-
date and the Republican party hadn't the
nerve" to come out and show their hand
with regard to how they stood on the excise
question.
When Newman entered the hall he recog-
nized several enthusiastic Democrats who
made his work chairman a few nights
previous somewhat strenuous. During the
course of his remarks the lawyer praised
the association for the rapid strides 1t had
made for its stand In the various conven-
tions and for the excellent showing 1t made
on parade the day of the State convention.
He stated that he was not prepared to
make any lengthy remarks, as he had not
studied the planks of the respective plat
forms. However, he read the chief planks
of the Republican platform, which had
been adopted yesterday, from night edi-
ton of the EVENING STAR, and then
opened fire on the stand they had taken.
He said:
"They didn't have the courage of their
own convictions to say whether they were
in favor of an open Sunday or not. They
didn't want to come out openly. They
would have been better off IL they hadn't
beat around the bush and lodged the
issue. Why didn't they assume the re-
sponsbility and, If they didn't want TO-
why didn't they accept the plan which the
Democratic party or the New Idea wing
of the Republican party stood for. In my
opinion, their platform is weak one, and
will help defeat them. The Democratic
party stands for givig the people the
largest measure of liberty, and the largest
number of rights to each municipality.
This brings us down to the excise ques-
tiOn, and let me ask you what right have
Atlantic or Sussex County to say what
the people Of Newark want?'
The speaker then drifted on the subject
of the necessity of organization, saying
that If organizations like the Leveen As
ISOLATION were in existence in days gone
by victories would have been more numer-
Gus.
These officers were elected:
For president, C.. l.. Rosenfeldt the
present incumbent; Benjamin Seligman,
Isaac Clarieck. Issac Binder.
For vice-president, John Schoenwalder,
G. L. Rosenfeldt and Edward Mendel.
For sergeant-at-arms, 1sador PiniSus,
Benjamin Schenkel and William Rosen-
baum
Harry Marks, recording secretary; Max
Splitter, financial secretary, and Alex
Klein. treasurer were recommended with
out opposition.
The election Of officers will be held at
the next regular meeting OF the associa-
ton. Thursday, September %.
