heavy blow struck the Cape last night
from the eastward. The wind blew 30
miles an hour, accompanied by heavy
rain. In this city trees were blown
down, awnings torn to pieces and few
planks washed from the fishing deck OF
the ocean pier. Much damage has been
done to orchards and corntields. Peaches
cover the ground this morning under
the trees and apples Jared no better.
At the height of the storm little
fruit schooner slipped her anchors from
a position off the steamboat landing.
The people at Cape May Point thought
the tiny craft had been lost. When
daylight came it was riding out the fag

TEE STORM AT ATLANTIC CITY.
Damage to the Inlet--The Rain Fell in
sheets and the Wind Blowing Big Guns.


ATLANTIC CRY, N. j., Aug. 23.-The
northeast storm which is raging here Is
reported to have already done damage
in the Inlet district, where the wind has
full sweep. The rain is falling in sheets,
while the wind is blowing between 30
and 40 miles an hour. High tide does
not occur until 5.25 a. M, and will prob
ably do some damage.
His persistency in clinging to wooden
post nearly cost John Thompson OF 1891
Lawrence street, Philadelphia, his lie
to-day, while in the water. He had
gone in bathing at the foot of Missis-
sippi avenue, but could not control him
self against the waves and was being
violently dashed against the piling sup
porting Bowker's Pavilion, when his
condition was discovered by Life Guards
Robinson and Ingersoll, who started to
his rescue. By this time he had reached
a post and was clinging to it. The life
| guards told him to leave go, but he
would not do so, and they found it
necessary to beat him about the face
and neck in order to make him break
his hold. He was taken ashore in an ex-
hausted condition and for time it APP
peared as il he could not be revived.
He was finally brought to and taken to
his hotel.
A violent northeaster is sweeping
along the coast and old mariners predict
that the storm will do more damage to
the shore front than the disastrous gale
of 1890.
This afternoon high tide sent the
breakers dashing over the boardwalk
and the payilions, and the old fishing
pier was again damaged. A gang OF
men are patroling the peach tonight tc
prevent the wreckage from doing further
damage to the beach structures. Fishing
and bathing in the sea have been aban'
doned.
| ATLANTIC Cry, N. j., Aug. Ballast
nights northeast storm did not do as
much damage as was expected from the
high wind raging. The lucky shifting Of
the wind to the northwest, and conse9
quent blowing out of the tide, was al
that saved the boardwalk structure;
from harm. The roof of the Casino
building, at the head of Baltic avenue
was blown off, while all around towI
trees were uprooted or broken of.
Over at Brigantine the electric rail
way was washed away, while at Chelse;
telegraph poles fell victims to the higl
water pressure. A small pavilion oil
. Young & McShea's pier was blown
: away by the wind. The highest wint
was between II andss12 O'clock las
] night, when it reached asvelocity of 8
7 miles.

of This city, Among the speakers.
On Thursday last an all day tempe
rance meeting and picnic was held at
London Grove Meeting House. The
morning was occupied with exercises
by the young Friends, In the afternoon
there were various speakers, among them
Thomas Steward OF this city, who said ;
"The last words of Jonathan b. Cough
were: Boys, keep your records Clean
This is most important. Fathers are
much more responsible than they think
for the welfare of their boys. They set
the example which is looked up to by
their boys, If boy can only say No
to his own father, as he sometimes has
an opportunity of doing, he can say
No TO any other individual who crosses
his path. And wish to add another
word to the young women. They have
wonderful influence over their young
companions, and if they will only stand
together and use this power in the proper
way, they can do much towards etfectine
its adjustment" U..

CLEARING HOUSE CERTIFICATES.
New Orleans Adopting the Methods Long
AGO in Successful Use Here.


Ago in Successful Use Here.
NEW ORLEANS, La, Aug. 25.-The
New Orleans clearing house decided
Yesterday to issue clearing house certi-
Gates for smell sums. The recent action
of the banks substituting certified checks
for cash payments left the planters
without money to gather the crops and
the new move is chiefly in the interest
of their relief.
The certificates are to be issued to
persons having money on deposit paya..
| BILE to themselves or bearer in sums Of
| SIS, $40, $50 or more. The certificates
are to be payable through the clearing
house, and the manager is to stamp
them as follows: "'rhis certificate is
secured by deposit of securities with the
loan committee of the New Orleans
clearing house.
All Of the members believe this plan
would give the required relief not only
to planters, but to the business men.
Currency is already beginning to be
scarce with the populace; grocers are
charging good discounts on certified
checks and some refuse 10 take them
1t is hoped the clearing house certii'
Gates will be received with more faitf
and will materially help the situation.

The Scarcity of Currency Causes Boom
in Postoifice Money Transactions.

Ihe Ot NuFfthCy ShusN5 ASoVah
in Postotfice Money Transactions.
During the financial stringency peo-
pie in this city have found that the
money order department of the post
office can be used to advantage.
As result of this conclusion reached
by number Of citizens, they have de-
cidcd. to certain extent, to use the
money order department instead of re-
sorting to the banks and converting
checks into currency.
Assistant Postmaster Pyle stated Sat-
urday that some of the business men
were sending money orders through the
mails instead Of paying claims in checks.
1t is claimed that by sending money
order the person to whom it is sent has
no difficulty in cashing it. Besides, it is
argued that this transaction relieves the
banks of the burden of cashing checks
1t is said that the system will only con
tinue during the present stringency
which may not be of long duration.
