THFi \E4iETABLFi MARKET.
The Break in X'ew York—lts Effect ou
This Market.
onsiilerable excitement and anxiety
was occasioned among the truck farmers
ami sjieculators in this vicinity, caused
by tbe heavy decline that trnik place yes
terday in New York, particularly in }*ota
toex, from the fact that about two
thirds of that crop is still under
ground, and the bulk is yet to be
marketed. Some farmers have realized
very well by disposing of their crops as
they stand.' to one or two commission
houses who are the losers by the present
decline, t ut a majority of them are hold
ing on in tbe hopes ot higher prices.
But in view ot the heavy declines
recently in Northern markets bn account
■f old stock being placed on the market, as
well as the receipts from places north of us.
and the advent of favorable weather
for shipping, etc., very little encourage
ment can be held out to holders.
Pea.*r. of which then* is considerable
-lock in this market, have become a drug
in Northern markets.
The farmers, however, in this vicinity
liav** other crops, and. with the handsome
balances lett over from last year, will be
able to stand this temporary set back.
• >ur Florida friends are not affected by
the present state of affairs, as the
gn a ter jiortion of their crops have been
marketed at gilt edg4*d prices, and there
-very little now in the way of early veg
etables to come forward from that section.
An Itwipient Early Morning Blare.

tunately several members of the de
partment reaehed the building before the
alarm was sounded and succeeded in cut
ting away a portion of the burning wood,
when a stream of water speedily ex
tinguished the fire. 'fly* bouse is owned
by a gentleman in Baltimore who
is represented by VV. \V. Chisholm, Es<p.

THE COLLECTORSHIF TROUBLE.
Sensational Rumor* Afloat at the Cus
tom House—lnterview with Colonel
liarncll in Reference to the Threaten
el Shooting of Collector Pleasant.
There was a lively breeze in the vicinity
of the custom house yesterday, caused
by the rumored threats of United States
District Attorney Darnell to shoot
Collector Pleasant for the alleged utter
ance of certain statements to
hiS personal character, resulting from the
refusal of Colonel Parnell to approve
Pleasant's bond.
In order to learn the truth of the rumor,
a reporter of the Morning News called
upon Col. Darnell at his office last
nisrht and was accorded an interview, in
which he denied ever having made any
such threats, and declared the report was
false and groundless and without a gram
of truth.
"Is there any truth in the rutnor that
you have threatened to shoot Collector
Pleasants for the utterance of certain re
ports derogatory to your character?" ask
ed the rejiorter.
"I have seen and read an article headed
•Trouble in the Big Building—Threatening
to Shoot Captain Pleasant.' in an even
ing paper of this city to-day, and 1 do not
hesitate to state tc you most emphatically
that I not onlv did not make a threat
or threats to kill Pleasant with
a gun or ‘clean out his
entire office,” as charged, but at the time
to which the statement relates. I did not
have him in my mind. I did not say that
I would shoot him with a double-barrelled
shot gun or with any other gun. I had no
reference to him whatever when I stated,
as I here admit I did state, to one
Beckett, that so far as auy official con
nection with Pleasant's bond was con
cerned. I had simply performed what I
believed to lie my duty, and that 1 had
done no more nor no less than 1 would do
in the case of any other person or per
sons whose official loiid might lie sule
mitted to me for examination.
' "This man Beckett has made it his
business for tlie past ten days to visit,
l>erbaps, every office in the custom house,
for the purpose of obtaining some infor
mation, or any information, detrimental to
me. to be conveyed to certain of Pleas
ant's friends in this city, and with the
view of producing between us a difficulty.
I presume. In keeping with that general
purpose, he visited iny office about
five o’clock Tuesday afternoon, and
coming only to the door, stopped and ask
ed me when I thought the Bowen case (a
post office case pending in the U. S. Cir
cuit Court) would be concluded. I stated
to him that unless he and his crowd suc
ceeded in finding my successor in office,
in ike meantime, 1 thought the case would
be finished the next day. He asked me
what I meant. 1 stated to him that I
meant his crowd, and that he could un
derstand the significance of that phrase.
1 also stated to him that I had been in
formed that he, and perhaps others,
had l>een engaged in the circula
tion of some re (Hirt which
might affect my personal character, integ
rity and honor, and that I desired to in
form him then and to inform him for
others.that while my official action might
be criticised, I should take no notice of
that, but that the man who called into
question my personal honor for the ac
complishment of any mean or selfish pur
pose, would lx? compelled to make with
me a jiersonal settlement; that I would
protect my personal character against
such assaults, if it took shotguns to do
it, and that is all I said about shotguns."
‘•There is no truth, then, in the report
that you took a shotgun to your office yes
terday morning?”
“Not a word of it.”
In resuming. Colonel Darnell said: "I
have been disposed to treat Pleasant as
kindly and liberally as he would permit me;
but 1 have felt from the beginning that he
was being badly advised, and bad allowed
himself to lie placed iu the hands of some
men who would make trouble w ith me, if
possible, upon some imaginary pretext,
but the real reason being my refusal to
approve Pleasant's bond, when 1 did not
believe, as I do not now believe, the same
to be good and solvent.”
“Who is Beckett?”
“This man Beckett, who has been in
strumental in bringing alxtut this un
pleasant state of affairs by the means
already stated, is Pleasant’s hired attor
ney, as he states, in connection with
matters pertaining to the bond, and has
'made himself in the whole afi'air capable
of doing and attempting to do everything
necessary to produce misunderstanding
and bad feeling, and I think 1 can dismiss
him w ithout further criticism."
As to the character of the reports
claimed to have been circulated, Col. Dar
nell states that lie is ignorant of their
nature, but is informed they are deroga
tory to his character. Since he has Wen
in the office of United States District At
torney he has endeavored to conduct the
public business with perlect honesty and
propriety, and with due regard to the pub
lic interests, as well as private rights.
In reference to his official position Col.
Darnell said: “My official acts are all
open to inspection* and investigation at
all times. I never jierform an official act.
all the particulars of which I am afraid
to have made entirely public, and as to
my private character and personal integ
rity and honor I am perfectly willing
to have it compared, since luy youth to
tbe present day. with tbe best that can be
produced.”
The Macon Volunteer* Trip to th<- North
west.
Mr. J. C. Shaw, tbe genial General
Traveling Passenger Agent of tbe Central
Railroad, left last night for Macon to
accompany the Macon Volunteers on their
trip to Rockford, 111., and the Northwest,
The corps will start to-night with thirty
eight men in uniform and several honorary
members. They will return on tbe 24th
inst., and during their trip will visit many
of the large cities of the Western States.
The Tele<ir<ij.h says “when the Volunteers
broached the subject of going, several of
our merchants heartily approved of the
idea of sending their representative men
into a country with which our city has
within a few years become intimately con
nected in trade, and it gives our business
men an opportunity to go with the boys
and cultivate closer communion, not to
say social relations, with the great North
west.”
Kxcur*ion to Tybee To-Day.
The Young Men’s Church Guild will
give a very pleasant excursion to Tybee,
on the Sylvan Glen, this afternoon. The
steamer leaves the city at 2:15 p. in., and
will leave Tybee on return trip at 9 o’clock.
The committee have arranged for street
cars to meet the excursionists on their re
turn. All who enjoy music and surf
bathing should take advantage of this op
portunity. The Guild’s tickets are also
good for the round trip by the 10 a. m. and
6 p. in. boats.
The “Ocmulgee’s” Decision.
The Macon Telegraph of yesterday, in
announcing the failure of the Macon fire
men to come to Savannah, says: “Ocmul
gee Hose Company No. 2 decided last
night not to go to Savannah. They will,
however, send a delegation, who will leave
to-night. This is quite a disappointment
to the boys, and we know the news will
lx* received with regret by the firemen of
Savannah.”

struck with the be auty of this promenade.
The first attractive feature the eye rests upon
is the Greene m r ,nument (called so,we believe,
from the color- of the grass at its base).
Passing op, then we come to the Gordon
monument,, a fit memorial to a noble man.
Then tin* electric light tower, a structure
towering far heavenward, reminding one in
stinctively of a similar structure described in
Holy Writ, only they had no elevator.
Tfie next attraction of note is Davis Bros.’

of Bull and York streets. ’Tis reallv a pleas
ing thing to enter their portals, where vou are
received with open arms (ladies excepted),

Unless, Mr. Editor, this mav be construed
as an advertisement, we must refrain from

these young men, as we have been. With re
