DEATH OF A HERMIT.
Believed to Have Been Well
known Confederate General

Believed to Have Been a Well
known Confederate General,
NEW YORK, Dec. ff.-seversl persons
who viewed yesterday the body of an old
mar found in the Black Swamp, near Nor
ristown. N J.. identified it as that OF Her
mann Bins. known as the Hermit of Wa
nong Mountain Searehers started imme-
diately for the cabin of the hermit on the
succawonna SLOPE OF the mountain. They
found 1t in ashes and say it had probably
been burned for two months or more The
death of the old hermit. formerly a Con-
fedeTate Brigadier General. is therefore
shrouded in as great a mystery as marked
the nearly two-scoTe years that he lived
in his mountain hut
Only on rare occasions has the aged man
been seen or heard Of for several years
past, when some hunter would come upon
his hut or meet him searching for game
in the forest. Hundreds, however, have
made pilg=images to the foot of the slope
and listened enchanted to the hermit play
ing on his violin
Those events in his life which drove
Bins into voluntary exile we're nc. learned
until ten years after he built his cabin in
1855. When he was first seen on the
mountain he wore q uniform of gr.y with
the shoulder straps of a brigadier gen
erai. He made friends with none, rarely
replied when addressed and kept out of
sight when curious persons, after great
toll, managed to find his cabin He had
his dog, gun, and violin for compan-
ions.
When his presence became better known
there were often scores Of men and women
who tramped at nightfan to the base Of
no 81 urf7y he Id
and listened enraptured to the sweet and
often weird music of the violin. He was
a master of the instrument
The secret OF Bins life was revealed by
William Becker G. A r veteran. of
Morristown- Becker made a trips South
ten years after Bins first appeared on the
mountain. and looking over some Confed-
crate records in the Atlanta Museum he
found the name Of Brigadier General Bins.
The Hermit of Wantong Mountain came to
his mind instantly and he began making
enquiries.
He learned that at the outbreak of the
civil war Bins had been a prosperous
planter In middle Georgia He went to tae
front leaving q wife and two children. He
died While he was fighting and shortly aft
er his wife succunbed to exposure His
house IVES burned and plantation destroy
ed by General Sherman on his march to
the sea
When Bins returned after the war he
found the graves of his loved ones and his
ruined home. He had no relatives 50 he
disap2e&red from the scenes flied for him
only with sadness and his friends did not
know what had become Of him.
The hermit has been seen but little for
the past fifteen years and none has thought
of him recently until two hunters found
his body Sunday In The Black Swamp. How
or where the hermit mas been living since
the burning OF his cabin viii never be
known Nothing has been seen of his dog
and TIE old violin from which he gained
solaee is believed to have been destroyed
in the fire which drove him from his
mountain fsstness probably TO death
through exposure.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-THE dealings be-
Kan in todays Stock Market with the
trading in exceedingly active volume. and
with substantial advances appearing in
practically every quarter, There was re
ally nothing that was new over night
bearing upon either the general market or
particular stocks, but speculative senti-
ment was again encouraged by the adj
yanees shown in the London market for
American stocks and by the renewed buy
ing for foreign account.
Tt was owing to this latter circumstance
that some particularly sharp advances
were scored in the railway list, notably in
the Reading shares, Southern Pacific, IN
lon Pacific. and the Atehisons. The rail-
way list was commonly strong, with IN
usually large dealings in the Granger
shares.
In the Industrial quarter the trading
was also animated Federal Steel being par
tieulsrly strong. while Tennessee Coal and
Iron advanced sharply. as did Sugar Re
hning and American Smelling American
Steel and Wire was actively dealt in at
about yesterdays closing figures the trad
iDg il that instance rejecting the confus-
ing notions derived from yesterdays
meeting Of the board Of directors.
Among the local traction shares, Third
Avenue advanced sharply on what appear
ed to be investment purchases, and both
Brooklyn Rapid Transit and Manhattan
were decidedly strong. As was the case
yesterday, the main influence in the trad
ing seemed to be the more confident views
as regards the monetary outlook, nOtwith-
standing the fact that active conditions
there seem to be virtually certain for the
remainder Of the year.
