crossing Little Egg Harbor Bay In a
small open boat, Miss Margaret Ridg
way, postmistress at Ardmore, Pa., and
Captain Harry Edwards, of the same
place, who are spending the summer
here, were struck by a sudden gust of
wind, which capsized the dory. Cap
tain Edwards is a good swimmer, and

As the little craft could not be right
ed Captain Edwards was obliged to
swim and tow the boat to the nearest
shore, a full two miles away. Miss
Rldgway helped propel the boat by us

After three hours of desperate effort

The Impresison prevails among tho
English colony here that Peploe has

MARKETS AND STOCKS
Wall Street Review
New York. Aug. 27. The developements
In financial circles to-day were generally
of a favorable character, but they exert
ed no Influence on speculation, which is
particularly dead, at the time being. The
MoKlnley letter of acceptance was re
ceived with favor, at least that part
which referred to the currency question.
More Important than this, so far as the
street is concerned, was the announce
ment of the engagement of additional
amounts of gold in Europe for shipment
to New York and the further weakening
In Sterling exchange. Posted rates for
sixty days' bills were reduced half cent to
4SS'4, while demand bills actually sold as
low as 4830484. So far as known nearly
$10,000,000 gold have been engaged for Im
portation to this country, ami good au
thorities estimato the Inflow during the
next thirty days at twice this amount.
On the arrival of this fresh cuptlal money
rates ought to weaken, and this usually
Is a bull argument. Today money on call
ranged from 6 to 15 per cent, until near
the close, when unemployed balances were
offered at 1 per cent. J. P. Morgan & Co.
were responsible for the break In the rate
from 15 to 1 per cent., while the market
for stocks was In a state of uncertainty;
the undertone was steady. The market
closed uletq and steady In tone, with
prices generally V,aVj per cent, above yes
terday's final quotations. Total sales
were only 8a,2J9 shares.
