THE DETECTIVES HAUL.

The Arrest Of Hit I'm Philadelphia ON
the Charge OF FOrgcry-strange Diff
ference of Opinion as to Whether HiIt
Is Bachelor or Bachelor Hit.
The arrest OF George Hit in Philadelphia. on
Thursday, on the charge OF being connected with
extensive torgeres Of bonds created no little ex-
element in Wall street yesterday, where all sorts
OF rumors were iie about the matter. The man
arrested seems TO be in rather bad fix Tor one
whu belongs to a respectable family, and has
heretofore, from all accounts, borne an excellent
reputation so far as his direct personal operations
are concerned. The HERALD reporter was
informed by member OF the Govern
ing Committee OF the Stock Exchange that
all rumors as to Hits being connected
with very extensive icrgeries BY which prominent
hoases in this city had lost heavily. were utterly
without foundation that in lact no large fOrgerles
OF bonds had been committed in tue city OF late.
The facts IN the thus lar CLEANED from all
sources, and winch may De relied upon
as correct are tnese :--some time ago the Chicago
and Northwestern Railroad Company discovered
that forged bonds OF the road were IN the market,
and they at once took steps to trace the iorgerics

OF bonus IN bonds OF S ,000) had been negotiated

opinion that the man was Innocent Of any evil

forged when he handled them, and added:-.I

opinion is that the attempt was made to bring
Hit on here so as to get him TO shut his mouth as

the police detectives have some interest III com

the private detectives. with this view OF IT in
his mind the HERALD reporter called on one OF the
Headquarters detectives who was concerned In
the case, who stated irankly that Hit had agreed

Bachelor himself was seldom visible, but he
seemed to have several regular callers, who
always TOOK care to lock the door alter they
says, that Bachelors name had been rubbed of
the door. The following Monday detective called

he was arrested, and at once recognized him as
tile man who had nircd the ONCE from him, and
whom ne had known as ~. T.. Bachelor.- Strange
to say, when asked Yesterday by the HERALD re-
portef whether Mr.. Hit aud Mr. Bachelor were
tns same n sM Sen sa
meft and this can be reconciled is one OF those
things which seems past nndlng out, as the latter
for believing that Mr.. Bachelor and Mr.. Hit wete
not one and the same person.
THE FINAL SCENE.
Mr. Hit is now under $40, 600 bail In Philadel-
phia, and IL to have q iurtner hearing next
Wednesday before the United States COmmIs-
sloner. It Is believed that ne Grand Jury WIN

there may be trouble ahead sor more than one or
them.
