PEACHES COMING IN LIVELY.
The Fruit Generally Small So Far, But
Plenty of It,

The Fruit Generally Small 80 Far, But
Plenty of It,
The quantity of peaches received in this
market for the last few days is almost un-
parallelad. A week ago eight baskets were
received. Two days later the total receipts
ran up to over 600 baskets, and the commits
sion merchants say that they are receiving
now between 800 and 400 crates per day.
The first lot, although a poor variety,
brought IS per bushel. The price dropped
as the receipts ran up, and now peaches
bring from 81 so to 81 per bushel. Choice
fruit, in half bushel baskets, sells for from
rs cents to 81 25.
Until yesterday large quantities were
shipped from here, by the fruit dealers, to
different points, and in this way the greater
portion of each days shipments was dis
posed Of. Yesterday, however, the con.
sumer bought directly from the merchants,
and not much reshipping was necessary to
get the supply off of the market. Some of
the fruit received is Of fine variety and is
delicious, but the bulk of it is too small to
realize much on. Merchants are complain
ing about the careless manner in which
shippers are sending fruit. Almost
all kinds of 'dwarfed stuff is shipped
and 1t Is calculated to depress the market
and run the prices tor better fruit down.
The merchants say if shippers will keep
their bad and inferior fruit at home and dry
1t, 1t will pay them doubly in the end By
this means, the merchants are enabled to
dispose Of the good fruit at good prices, and
the poor fruit great deal of which viii
not IND a buyer will be disposed of, when
dried. Manifestly it is better to keep the
inferior fruit of Of the market, since it
Keeps good fruit from bringing its value.

TO MAKE A THOROUGH CANVASS.
ARRIVAL OF THE MAILS.
The First New York Pouches Since
Last Week Get Through.

The First New York Pouches Since
Last Week Get Through.
The first New York mail since last Sat
urday got through yesterday morning. 1t
came over the Central railroad and the Sa-
vannah, Florida and Western railway, after
having been transferred from the Rich
mond and Danville railroad. The breaks
on that line were repaired day before yes
terday, and the road is now open and will
bring the northern mails, delivering them
to the Central and Savannah, Florida and
Western for this section.
The announcement in Yesterdays MORN
ING NEWS that the mails would arrive dur
ing the day, put good many people eager
to get the New York papers
on their guard, and the moment
the mail wagons discharged their loads at
the post-ofice and it was announced
that Che bags contained New York mail.
there was a general scramble, and the
crowd watched the mail until it was up. A
good many were disappointed and could not
account for missing letters mailed in New
Y ork before the flood. Mondays mail was
the only mail received. Supt. Coolidge. Of
of the delivery department, said that he
could not account for getting only one days
mail
There was q rush at the news rooms.
Over $50 papers were sold. Everybody
was anxious to secure paper containing
the best account of the Jamestown disaster,
and by the middle of the afternoon the sup
ply Of Mondays papers was disposed Of.
Supt. Coolidge said in the afternoon that
he expected more mail on the $40 Central
railroad train and the evening Savannah,
Florida and Western railway train, and it
came Tuesdays mail arrived and the post
Office was again crowded, and the news de-
pots were thronged until almost everybody
had bought paper.
The amount of mail received at the post
office yesterday was not a great deal in
excess of the usual quantity. Only one
days mail comes at a Tune. To-day, most
likely, viii be heavy mail. Sundays,
Wednesdays and Thursdays mail are ex-
pected, and they are generally heavy days.
No breaks We're repaired on the Atlantic
Coast Line connections yesterday and the
Savannah, Florida and Western railway is
still transferring its freight to the Norfolk
and Western railroad. Rapid progress is
being made getting the line over the wash
out in a condition for travel, and the Savan-
nah, Florida and Western officials think
that it will be intact and passabe before
Sunday. Some time will necessarily be
consumed in replacing the iron bridge at
Petersburg, and the repairing of smaller
bridges will consume some time, but an
ample force, the officials say. is at work, and
the public may reasonably expect clear
route to the north over the Atlantic Coast
Line within the next three or four days.

AFFAIRS AT GUYTON.
John Browns Body Lies Moldering
in the Grave.

Ill LAo GT6V6s
John Brown, the colored man who was
shot last Saturday night at Guyton by
CuyIer Jones (colored), in dispute over a
game of ''skin," died Wednesday and was
buried yesterday. IT is said that no effort
has been made to apprehend the murderer,
who has not been heard from since the
shooting.
The Women'5 Missionary Society of the
Savannah district of the Methodist Episco-
pal church will convene in Guyton this
morning for two days session.
DR.. Lanier, the Guyton Baptist minister,
in discussing the summons to appear before
his church, says it is not, as the impression
prevails, in relation to open communion,
but another matter entirely, Of which the
public will be informed in good time.
Meantime he desires a suspension of the
public Judgment until he is heard upon the
subject. Rev. Mr.. Lanier says, however,
thar there is nothing that he has said or
done upon the subject of communion.
or of any other cardinal subject, which
he fears to meet publicly or that he expects
to retract. He says that he does not wish
to be understood as presenting something
new and original when he declares that
''every man has the right to interpret the
scriptures for himself and worship God
according to his understanding of the divine
word, for this doctrine is hoary with age
and dear to every sound Baptist"
The cause of the summons, while not
given by Rev. Mr.. Lanier is understood to
have grown out of remark made as to the
needs of the Sunday school at a recent meet
ing, in which the first speaker referred TO
the lack of interest IN the Sunday schools
and the falling off in attendance, and Rev.
Mr.. Lanier, who followed with few re-
marks gave his hearers to understand that
there would have to be a change before a
better condition of affairs could be hoped
for. This was interpreted to mean lack
of orthodoxy on the part of Rev. Mr..
Ianier,

Telegram to THE BEE. General Hatch, of
the Ninth cavalry, and party of ladies con-
sisting of Mrs. Hart, of Buffalo, Wyo., Mrs.
Captain Hughes, Ninth cavalry, and Mrs.
Bailey, Eighth infantry, while out driving

dent which resulted in one of the generals
legs being fractured above the knee and sew
eral bad bruises on other parts of the body.
The ladies escaped with some light bruises;
none of them are considered serious.
General Hatch, who is a horseman of the
first water, possesses four spirited animals
which he drives to an English drag. This
evening he drove out as usual, having the
drag. as is his practice. filled with the ladies
of the garrison. While crossing the White
river about quarter of mile from the post
the drag broke down. The leaders became
frightened. This also caused the wheelers
to become nervous, rendering the whole team
unmanageable. They swung sharp around,
upsetting the drag, pulling 1t for several
hundred yards. The general stuck to the
horses until everything was kicked TO
pieces and his leg became caught in the
spokes of the wheels, which was the cause of
the fracture. He IS now attended by Doc
tors Adaire and Keon and is doing well.

UTTERLY UNFOUNDED.
The Story that Window Was Over
ruled In His Appointments.


WASHINGTON, March 15.-Secretary Win
dom's attention was to-day called to u news
paper statement that he was overruled in
the matter Of the appointment of Assistant
Secretary Bachelor. The story was that he
had rendered the place to Coon; that the
latter had accepted and that the appointment
OF Bachelor was in direct opposition to his
wishes. 1t is further stated that Bachelor
las Platt's man." would have charge of the
treasury patronage. Mr.. Window said he
did not usually notice newspaper criticisms,
but this was so unfair and misleading that he
did not like to let it go unchallenged. AS
matter of fact, he said, the president h ad
specially referred this appointment to him
and had acted in accordance with his
recommendation in appointing Bachelor. 1t
was true that Coon hau been considered in
connection with this Office. 1t was never
rendered him, however, ana consequently he
had not accepted it. The appointment OF
Bachelor was made after careful considera-
tion, and was in no sense u reflection upon
Coon.
Window said it was absurd to say that any
assistant secretary would have control of the
treasury appointments. That was n matter
entirely in the hands of the president and
himself, and was not likely to be relegated
to any other official. The secretary said that
so far as he knew, Bachelor could not be
considered anybody's man.
