The record of Arthur Hillebrand,
captain of this years champion nine.
while at Princeton in regard to base
ball and football has never been equal,
ed and certainly will hardly be sur
passed. From his freshman year he
played on both the varsity baseball
and football teams and during those
four years was on six championship
teams, three in football and three. in
baseball. While in his Junior year he
was captain of the champion varsity
football team and refused the captaincy
last fall, though playing on the eleven
He accepted, however, the leadership
Of this seasons nine, and the victorious
career of the Tiger ball players, with
Hillebrand as pitcher and captain is
still fresh in the minds of all followers
of college sports.
The athletic pre-eminence so well dis
played by Arthur Hillebrand seems to
run in the family, for Homer Hllle-
brand. brother, who was captain and
catcher of the Princeton preparatory
school baseball team this season, will
enter Princeton this fall and will likely
at once make the varsity as his brother
did. Under Homer's leadership the
preparatory nine had a successful sea
son this year.
Another brother, Frank, who win
enter Lawrenceyille this fall, is said
to be a wonder at both baseball and
football and is expected by many to
equal the famous Arthurs record.

After Spending Four Hours An Jail
He Found Good SuretIes.

Max Wilensl1y, formerly manager of the
defunct and admittedly bankrupt Savan-
nah Shoe and Dry Goods Company, was
arrested by officer L.Henthal yesterday
afternoon on warrant charging him
with the embezzlement OF 1880.
The warrant for Wilensky's arrest was
sworn out by Mr.. George S. Haines, re-
ceiFer for the bankrupt concern of which
Wiensky was manager, appointed by
Judge Speer. The crime with which When
sky is charged has reference to this bus
mess, and relates to the alleged conceal
ment OF goods which had been purchased
by himiduring the months of January, Feb
ruary and March.
Magistrate Naughtin. upon the repre-
sentst.ons made by Mr.. Haines of the
gravity ana importance of the offense
and the magnitude OF the peculations with
which Wileasky is charged, fixed the bond
that would be required at $1,000. Mr..
Emile Newman, representing the defend
ant daeming this amount too large,
presented the matter to Judge Falligant
and succeeded in inducing him to reduce
the bond required to 5000.
Even with this reduction, however.
Wilensky was not able for a time to give
the bond and in default Magistrate
Naughtn committed him TO jail until
o'clock. At that hour Max Sutker and w.
Woledge became sure ties on his bond, and
Wilersky was released from custody The
bond is made returnabe to the next term
OF the Superior Court
The arrest of Wilensky is not a matter
of surprise u the Sc who are familiar with
the case and the suspicious entertained
ny tne various attorneys representing his
creditors. Hc earrings IN the appl cation for
a discharge in bankruptcy for the Savan-
nah Shoe and Dry Goods COMPANY have
been for some time in progress before

revealed peculiar ate of affairs
1t has developed that. although at va
rious times during these months he rep
resented himself to the mercantile agen-
cies being solvent, he owed large sums
of money and that this Indebtedness he
was constantly increasing. During the
first three months of the year his pur
chases were especially large and yet the
stock of goods found in his store by the
receive bore no proper proportion 10 the
amount of these purchases. The dttor-
neys say he has sent large quantities of
these goods out to various parties in this
and other states and that they are now
held by these parties subject to his order.
The petition filed by O'Conuor. O'Byrne
and Hartridge asking for the possession
of certain goods that had been sold WI
lensky by some of their clients, made
specific allegations of fraud This charge
other creditors were not slow to follow
up, and the warrant sworn out by Re-
ceiver Haines and the arrest of the de-
PENDANT are but the expected outcome of
these charges
Wilensky says he is totally innocent of
any offense other than misfortune and
business i'll luck He claims that he has
done absolutely nothing that is wrong and
that when he is tried he will be able to
demonstrate his perfect and complete in
nocence.

Would BE Furnished the OgIethorpe
Light Infantry at Louisville.
A telegram has been received by Capt.
G. A. Gordon of the Oglethorpe Light In
fantry from Col. Bennett II. Young of
Louisville, who assures him that. If the
Oglethorpes accompany the Confederate
Veterans TO their reunion in Louisville the
latter part of May, quarters and subslst-
ence will be provided the soldiers at the
expense of the Entertainment Committee
This information will be placed before
the company Monday night, when it will
be decided whether the trip to Louisville is
to be taken. The command has fund of
some $500 in hand and it is probable that
500 more would have to be raised by sub
scription among the members TO admit of
the trip being taken, as the railroad fare
is quoted at $l4 per capita and there will
be additional expenses.
decided turn from their former posi-
ton has been taken by the veterans of
Louisville, who are managing the reun-
ion at their end, for they did not care
to have any visiting military until after
a recent consultation with Adjt. Gen.
Moorman of the United Confederate Vet
Grams. They are now eager for the Ogle-
thorpes and other commands to take the
trip, and 1t Is not improbable that the
company, which some weeks ago was fully
determined upon it, will decide in favor
of it.
The Savannah Cadets have, it is under
stood, about given up all idea of going. At
first they, too, We're considering the trip
and 1t is probable they would have gone
had the information not been received that
only veterans were desired at the reun-
ion.
Monday night the Republican Blues,
also, will bring up the question. That
company had progressed far in its ar
engagements for the trip until 1t was learn
ed that no provision was to be made for
visiting military, when there was a ces-
sation of the activity that had marked
the preparations. The Savannah Veterans
would like to have both companies, but It
remains for Monday night to show wheth-
er they, or either, can see the way clear
20 taking the trip.

TIE PAPAL DOCUMENT.
Bishop Kelley May BE Consecrated
in the New Cathedral.

The official document from His Holiness.
Leo XIII, appointing the Very Rev. Ben
jspin j. Kelley to be Bishop of the do
cese of Savannah, was received by Father
Kelley last night The Papal Commission
is written in Latin on plain white parch-
nient without flourish or ornamentation
of any kind, and is according to the usual
formula of such commissions.
Father Kelley has not rs yet given the
matter of his conservation any considera-
ton. Under the rules of the church he is
allowed three months in which to pre-
pare for this ceremony, and he may Sc
lect the time and place according to his
own pleasure. The presence of at least
three Bishops is required but a greater
number may take part. AS Father Kelley
has number of friends among the Bish-
ops of the United States, ii is likely that
more than the required number will nc
cept of the invitation to be present, and
participate. 1t is not unlikely that Car
dlnai Gibbons, who is a personal friend Of
the Bishop-to-be. may himself be present,
the see of Savannah being a part of the
province of Baltimore, of which he is the
official head.
Although Father Kelley has not made
any decision as to time and place, 1t is
not unlikely that he will yield TO the
wishes of his many friends here, and name
The auditorium of the Cathedral is prac-
ucaHy complete, and could be easily
cleared for the ceremony. The formal ded-
lcation of the Cathedral would be requi-
site in order to do this but the dedica don
is comparatively simple ceremony. The
conservation of the Cathedral, which is
more important ceremony, will not take
place until the building is free from debt.
t Is not expected that the building will be
entirely complete until this fan. but the
BODY OF the church could be arranged for
the Bishops conservation with but little
olnlcuty few weeks hence.
w men seen about these matters yester.
DAY, rather Kelley said that he will
give MS attention to the completion of the
Cathedral at present. and would consider
the arrangements for his consecra ton
later. There is some interest in the cues
ton as to who will succeed Father Kelley
as vicar general of the diocese. but no in
tmation has been given by Father Kelley
as to his intentions in this motter. and
il is not likely that any will be until after
his conservation as Bishop.
