Goods.

Goods.
From the New York Journal
"A policeman told me Twas jay"
And for once a New York policeman
vas right-very right.
j. G. DeLoach young farmer, came
here from Eden, Ca, guileless as the
original Eden's inhabitants, with two re-
volvers and $500 in his clothes. Now
he has $40, and is in the house of deten
ton. He is a tall, lank, typical young
southerner, and he came here to buy
green goods. The old story is in this
case particularly interesting.
His father is wealthy planter and
young Mr.. DeLoach runs the farm. For
a long, long time he received letters
from George B. Fox here in New York
and every letter gave roiser tinge to
his dreams. This good, kind Mr.. Fox
told young Mr.. DeLoach to save up his
money till he had lot and then bring it
to New York and he would give him
500 for every $40 of it. SO James wa
tered the milk and jollied the potatoes
wife fertilizers 50 they would grow fast
err and bigger, and at last he had $500
saved up.
James put his $50 and his two revoly-
ers into his pockets and started for New
York. A real nice young man met him
enroute at Philadelphia. and came on tr
New York with him, Mr., Fox didn't
want any one else to get the $500. james
and his guide Icame over the ferry ana
went to quiet house in a back street
Of course James don't remember 1t il lie
should see it again. The guide had
pushing business that prevented him
from calling on Mr.. Fox with James,
though he showed him the door OF the
house and watched until he got insTie.
There James found Mr. Fox, who
showed d him the crisp new bills, S3,OOO
of which he WAS so anxious to give James
for his $500, He was willing to make
especially good terms to James, as he
was the first customer from Georgia.
SO the nice, new money was put into
three neat packages, hundred and nifty
tens, two hundred fives and five hundred
ones, and each package and rubber
band around it.
James examined the money very care
fully, and, of course, it was good, new
money. Then the three neat packages
were put in neat bow. James handed
over his $500 and started for the ferry tt
90 home. He held the precious box
tightly under his arm and asked pc
liceman the way to the ferry, The police
man directed him down Broadway. Whel
he reached the postoffice he stopped an(
asked a young man who had been walk
ing close to his side all the way dow
the street if he was going to the ferry.
Of course he was, and was only too
clad to show him the way. With tn
characteristic hospitality of the south
erner James wanted to ask his new
friend to drink, and while he was debat
ing how to open and extract one OF tn
81 bills detective Carey, of the Churcl
street precinct, stepped up and aske'
the two what they were doing. Jane
said that he was sight seeing, and tina
his box contained trinkets.
But the detectives nose for gree
goods PROM d him to take the pal
20 the station, and there the box wa
opened. This told the story, an
yesterday James and his companion
who said his name was William Mackey
but would not tell where he lived, wer
taken before Justice McMahot in tn
tombs court.
Mackey is supposed to be the membe
of the gang whose duty it was to ge
young farmer DeLoach out of town be
fore he had chance to look in his box
which contained nothing but pieces o
paper the size of greenbacks, with
bill on top of each package. The pole
expect to catch some of the rest of TIL
gang, and Mackey and the farmer ar
held for further examination.
