LIEUT.. REILLY IN 1T NOW.
The Assistant Chief in the McDon-
aid Row.

Assistant Chief Reilly, of the city po-
lice, has gotten into the Mcdonald i'm
broglio, much to his disgust. A charge
against the assistant chief yesterday by
Mr.. G. II. Medlock, agent of the steamer
Alpha. The foundation of the charge
was the refusal of Lieut.. Reilly to order
Detective McDonald's arrest for tres
pass when req uested to do so on the occa-
sion of McDonald's visit to the Alpha's
wharf in search of information
of shipments of liquor to South Carolina
on the Alpha by Savannah merchants.
MIR. Medlock, 1t will be rememb ered
ordered Mcdonald from the wharf, and
on his refusal to leave called upon Po-
liceman Coffee, who was on duty in the
neighborhood, to remove him. Thisl the
officer declined to do, saying he had no
authority to do anything of the kind.
Then Capt. Daniels, of the Alpha, tele-
phoned 10 the police barracks and re-
quest3d Lieutenant Reilly, who was on
duty at the ONCE at the time,
TO order McDonald's removal
by the policeman This he
assistant chief declined to do and in
formed Capt Daniels that if Mcdonald
was trespassing he could swear out a
warrant and have him arrested on that
charge.
rms was done by Agent MedloclS, and q
warrant for carrying concealed weapons
was also sworn out against Mcdonald, a
pistol being found upon his person.
McDonald's arrest was reported to
Lieut. Reilly by Detective Bossell, and
Lieut. Reilly went upon McDonald's bond
on the warrant for carrying con-
cealed weapons. When asked yes
terday why he did this, Lieut..
Reilly said that Mcdonald
was an officer of the law, and had a right
TO carry weapon.
The case will probably come up for a
hearing next Tuesday morning, that be-
ing the day upon which information
docket cases are usually tried. 1t is not
likely that the charges against Lieut..
Reilly will be sustained by the mayor
but the case may be made interesting by
the introduction of new evidence going to
show McDonald's relation to the police.

wEsLEY's NEW PASTOR.
Rev. A. NJ. Williams to Assume His
Duties To- Morrow.


Rev. A. M. Williams, who succeeds DR..
bowman, as the preacher assigned by the
Methodist bishop for Wesley Monumental
church for the coming year, arrived in
the city yesterday, and was met at the
Central depot by the stewards OF the
church and comfortably installed at the
parsonage on Drayton and Bolton streets,
where he will hereafter reside.
Rev. Mr.. Williams is preacher Of deep
learning, culture and ability, aud is es-
teemed among the foremost divines in the
South Georgia conference. He is ma
tive Georgian and a son of President
Williams, who has been for so many years
at the head Of the state institution for
the blind in Macon, and who is so widely
known in Georgia.
Mr.. Williams graduated at the state
university, at Athens, in August, 1872, in
the same class with S. B. Adams, Esq,
and was a member of the Chi Phi and
Demosthenian societies. He entered the
ministry in December, 1872, and has
served regularly since in the South
Georgia conference at different places in
the state. He served four-year pastor
ates, the limit allowed by the custom Of
the church. at Hawkinsville, Albany, st.
Luke's (Columbus); two years at Daw-
son, and three years at AmeHcus, from
which last mentioned place he comes
to Savannah In addition to these
charges Mr. Williams has held several
positions of high responsibility and trust
in the South Georgia conference.
1t was the unanimous petition of the
congregation to the bishop that DIR. Dow
man should be sent back for his fourth
year, but the exigencies and requirements
of the work elsewhere were such as called
for the promotion of DIR. bowman to the
presiding eldership of q district of the
conference. While this was matter of
disappointment to the congregation of
Wesley, the members congratulate them
selves that in Mr. Williams they have a
successor Of such ability, eloquence and
popularity, and who will maintain the
high prestige which Wesley Monumental
church enjoys among the protestant
churches of Savannah.
The services at Wesley tomorrow will
be as follows: Prayer meeting will be
held at 10 a m. ; preaching, II a. m. and
p. M; Sunday school at $3.50 p. m. A
pound party for the church poor will be
held Monday morning in the Sunday
school room at 10 o'clock
