n any person found doing crooked

TIMOTHY M'MAHoN's HOME.
In a neat little cottage at No. 2sC
Fourteenth street resiGes Timothy Nc
Mahon. He is q truckman and does
work for thu Atlas Iron COMPANY. Tbs
McMahon cottage is q two story struc-
ture, and all entrances To 1t are barred
by the presence of nigh lath gates. These
gates are In front of the doors aud are an
effectual barrier at the foot of u pair
OF winding stairs. Their presence
IS not to keep providers away but
TO prevent Mr.. McMahon's goats aud the
Cork Row" goats from summering on
his highly nnliahad frant HnorCh ~
Last night l asked Mr.. McManon about
the loss of his geese. Said he:-
81 wouldn't mind the loss of the three
geese and the gandsr. but 1t opeus my
eyes to the fact that there is a gang of
plunderers In this u~eighpurhood who
need looking after. This ID not the first
time my things heys bssn stolen. 1t was
but a few months ago that l Used = fine
pair Of twin billy goats. cared for them
and was proud of them when one even
ing only one billy came home l was mad.
I searched the Hsighborhood aud finally
found my win oiiiy goat IN CORK Row"
It was on Sunday that thu missing gse Sc
W are n They wsrs on Fifteenth
street, near Jersey avenue. inc when last
seen they wers Ga their way to Elsye tn
street. / wouldn't say that my geese
were in Cork Row" but have mysus-
picions. They ware plueked off the
street In n jify and not a word of them
has been heard since"
MRS. M'MAHoN's MARX.
Mrs. McMahoa had been = good listeu~
er up TO this time, and finally she broke
in:-
az wouldn't mind. only their geese
were fotns. A few days ago / plucked
them and put q daub OF gresu paint on
them SO that I would know them 10 a
crowd. II was the same with ms twin
goats. l bad them marked, aud after
taking the pride 20 raise them that l did,
/ didn't want &c lose them. Me- geese
were grey ones, but the, gander
was different from the rest. You can
bet that, unless them geese are returned,
there will be fun, and Fll never let up
until me man Tim p~rosscutes the man
VINO stole them"
The McMahops are furious over their
loss, and the outlook is that there will be
some lively times in Cork Row" unless
the three gray geese and the of colored
gander are returned.
