their course, and this morning it was rumored
widely that Corporation bonds to the amount
of $4,000 had been purloined. We don't
know who stole them, nor will we venture to
guess, but we have been informed that GER
tain detective in this city made proposition
to the Corporation officers in whose charge the
bonds were placed, that if they would give him
$4,000, he would recover the 10000 stolen
as he knew the parties who had them in pos

bargain was closed or not, but We do know that
the bonds are still in the market, at 20 per
cent, below par WASH, Express.
