said to be no better delineator of the vii
lage rustic than Archie Boyd. Theater
goers are familiar with his por travail of
Joshua Whltcomb" in "The Old Home

for the last four years, and his many ad-
mirers will, without a doubt, give him a
very warm welcome in his new PLAY.
which is said to be as pure, good and en-
joyable as any play of,rural life ever writ
ten, and alive with interest throughout.
The plot is said TO be well written and
clearly developed, the dialogue is varied
and full of animation, the characters
drawn as they should be drawn in drama
in the rough, by point of touch and tone
of speech, by fash of thought, position
and incident. MIR. Boyd is guided with
out being cramped in his effort to make
life in village that which the author has
indicated rather than portrayed in the

TO GET AT THE FACTS.
The Mayor to Hear the Charges
Against Lieut.. Reilly To-day.

Mayor McDonough will hear the
charge of neglect of duty against Assist
tant Chief of Police Owen Reilly in the po-
lice court this morning. The charges were
made by Agent Medlock of steamer
Alpha and grew out of the Mcdonald
affair. Assistant Chief Reilly refused
TO order the arrest of Mcdonald for
trespass on the Alpha wharf when re-
quested to do so by Captain Daniels
and afterwards went upon McDonald's
bond when he was arrested upon the
charge of carrying concealed weapods.
Lieut.. Reilly was very much surprised
when he was informed of the charges
against him, and feels indignant that he
should have been brought into the case in
such a manner
81 had nothing to do with the Melon
aid affair."" said he to a MORNING News
reporter. 1.-THE only thing knew about
it was that Capt. Daniels telephoned me
and asked me to order McDonald's arrest
for trespassing upon the Alpha's wharf
did not consider that had any right to
order an arrest on such a charge, and sug-
gested to Capt Daniels that if Mcdonald
was trespassing on the wharf
he could swear out warrant
for his arrest on that charge, which he
did. l was afterwards informed that
Mcdonald had also been arrested on the
charge of carrying concealed weapons,
and as | understood him to be an officer of
the law in the employ of the city, and had
the right to carry a weapon l went on his
bond on this charge"
The charge against Assistant Chief
Reilly is supposed TO have been made for
the purpose of bringing out evidence as to
the connection of Mcdonald with the police
force, and some interesting testimony is
likely to brought out in the police court
this morning.

COL. HUEBLER IN PERIL.
The Midget Comedian Narrowly Es-
capes Being Burned to Death.

capss Being Burned to Death.
Col. Albert Huebler, the midget come
dian, who was in Savannah two weeks
ago with the Ole Oleson Company, and
who is well known here, narrowly es-
capped being burned 10 death in Troy,
Ala, a few nights ago. The presence of
mind of the stage manager saved him.
In the third act of Ole Olson a fire
scene Is presented, and TO give a more de-
sired effect fiambeau is used. At the
time of the accident the stage manager
was in what is termed the house" wait
ing for his cue. while little Olaf was in
readiness TO step to the front and amuse
the audience when his time was an
nounced. When the scene was being pre-
sented the man who has charge of the
fiambe was near the midget with a
bottle Of alcohol in his hand ready to re-
plenish the then almost exhausted fam
bleau.
Through some unexplained manner the
bottle of alcohol ignited and, the bottle
exploding, the contents flew all over the
little comedian, and in less time than it
takes TO write it his face was badly
burned, ana his clothing ready to be-
come a mass of flames. Seeing the
predicament he was in the colonel COW
cred his face with his hands and
shouted for help. The stage manager
rushed in and at the risk of his own life
took of his coat and threw it around the
little comedian and extinguished the
flames. Huebler was carried to the
dressing room. A physician was called
from the audience and attended him. He
was bandaged up and was taken to
Columbus, where the company has been
playing He will rejoin it at Birming-
ham tonight.
The little colonel's friends in Savannah
will be glad to know that his injuries are
not more serious.

BISHOP NELSON'S SERVICES.
He Visits All of the Episoopalian
Churches.

Bishop Nelson, assisted by the rector,
Rev. Robb White, ofliciated at the II
o'clock service at Christ church yesterday
morning. The subject Of his sermon was
diocesan missions. He spoke of the work
being done, and how and where the
money that has been given is being spent.
He made an eloquent appeal to the con-
gregation, asking that the good work that
no shows so much promise be kept up. In
the course of his remarks the bishop said
that he heartily regretted his inability to
visit Savannah oftener, but as he
travelled over 10000 miles in the state
during the year it was an impossibility.
Bishop Nelson possesses a wonderful
personal magnetism and held the close
attention of his hearers while he spoke so
fervently of the missions he had recently
visited.
At 80 o'clock yesterday morning the
bishop administered the holy communion
at St. Johns church. At o'clock in the
afternoon he addressed the Sunday school
of St. Paul's church at the Christmas
festival, and at 80 last he preached at

sPLINrERED THE BONES.
Little Bonnie Bartlett's Narrow Es-
cape From Death.


Young Bonnie Bartlett, who was acct
IDENTIFY shot Saturday morning in Kieffers
drug store, is resting easier at his home
on Gwinnett street. The bullet entered
the little fellows head Just above the left
eye, and fracturing the frontal bone drove
the splinters in the brain. 1t met with
such resistance, however, as to break it
self into several pieces, which were scat
tered through the head. The doctors in
attendance on the lad extracted the
pieces of bone and bullet. The removal
made a great difference in his condition,
which is now considerably improved. 1t
is little short of a miracle that the boy
was not instantly killed.

A Veteran Terrapin.

\ terIapin was found in the yard back
of Michael Hurley's Main street property
on Monday, which is quite a curiosity. On
the back OF its shell was carved the
representation Of our national flag. Under
this patriotic emblem was the figure of a
muskei and sword, crossed, with the date
and place OF inscription as follows: Get
tesburg. ls53" The soldier who was of
duty long enough to do the decorating on
this longeval tortoise was just little back
in his photography of the famous battle
field. However, the work i plain enough
to give evidence that the aged terrapin
was on the battle field, and having sue
cessfIlly lodged all dangerous shots, has
lived to enjoy the distinction of an honor
ed veteran. No doubt he was on his way

ment at Pittsburg when captured His
slow locomotion, however, had caused
him to be few days behind time. If his
health and appetite continue good, he

zeal. Indeed, he would now be on his
