LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

AS far as actual transactions were con-
cerned there was little Of interest in to-
days session of the Washington Stock
Exchange. Offerings were not lacking
in any Of the issues on regular call. but
the prospective sellers and the would-be
buyers rarely succeeded in meeting on the
common level which meant a consum-
mated sale. Among the public utility
stocks the only transactions were for very
small blocks, and the sales, too, were
widely scattered and of little Importance.
Interest, of course, centered in Washing
ton Gas which was the feature of a brief
but spectacular drive Thursday. Evidence
was plentiful that demands for Gas stock
are increasing, because offers and bids,
many of the latter evidently sent out as
feelers, came from all quarters of the
room. In fact, there seemed to be gen.
eral sitting up and taking notice while
Gas was on call, but the price remained
around IS and 66 with no takers. One
broker offered 1000 shares at the latter
figure, but it produced no result and was
withdrawn. There was only one sale of
Gas. a quotation lot at 651s
Indications were also rife that Capital
Traction stock was in demand, but there
appeared to be a movement on foot to
drive the price downward to the vicinity
of 125 or 1873 before active purchasing
should be begun. Small lots and single
shares sold after call at 1852 and 1888.

LEAPED OVERHEARD IN FUN.
Captain of Liner Nearing Port Re
sents Prank-Fate of Purse.

NEW YORK, September 26.-As the
steamer Graf Waldersee, from Hamburg,
was nearing port yesterday a man was
seen to leap overheard. The vessel was
off Fire Island at the time and the deck
was thronged with passengers, glad to be
within sight of land.
Man overboard!' the cry went up, and
men and women hurried to the after
deck to watch the struggling form in the
water.
Capt. Frohlich had the steamers en-
gines stopped and lifeboat, in charge of
Second officer Schneider, was quickly
launched. The man overheard was seen
to be swimming strongly and every one
began to wonder why he had jumped into
the water. In eight minutes the rescuing
crew had hauled him into the lifeboat,
and in twenty minutes the man was back
on the Graf Waldersee.
Then 1t was discovered the man was a
fireman employed on the vessel, named
Her, Heer seemed to take the whole
matter as a joke, but not so Capt. Froh-
Itch. The captain told Heer what he
thought of him and his prank and sent
him below. The passengers believed Heer
had attempted suicide. and out of SYM
pathy raised a purse for him. Capt.
FrohliCh advised against giving the man
money, and when the actual circum-
stances were explained the passengers
asked that the purse be divided among
the firemen of the vessel.
