from the nearest house. His cabin
was found in ashes by those who
went to it after the body had been

Bins made his appearance on the
mountain in 1865. When he first
came he wore a gray uniform, and
on it were tke stars of u brigadier
general.
Ten wears after Bins settled on the
mountain his life story came out
through no fault OF his. William
Becker, a veteran of the union army,
who had occasion to visit Atlanta in
1875. commenced an investigation
and found from the confederate rec
ords that Herman Bins had enlisted
as a minor officer soon after Stump
ter was fired upon. He rose rapidly |
and at the close of the war had the
rank of brigadier.
At the outbreak OF the war he was
a well-tO-dO planter in middle Geor
gia. While he was in the army his
two children died. When Sherman
marched to the sea, cutting 81 gap
through Georgia and leaving desola
ton behind, Bins home was one of

ElDorado, Kan, Dec. 1.-THE

The jury stood nine for acquittal
and three for conviction.
1t is probable that an application
will be made by MiAs MOrrison's at

punishment where the proof is evi-

understood that Miss Morrison : at
torneys will make application for
bail before Judge Shinn if the Jury
does not agree. Ii the application
should be denied by Judge Shinn the
matter could be carried to the su-

be an expensive proceeding and prob

SENATOR'S RISE AGAINST HAMA.
R:yolt on Ship Subsidy and the Eeer
Tax

Tax.
Washington. Dec. 13-Mark Han
mas troubles III the senate are multi
plying rapidly.
There is a concerted movement
against his ship subsidy bill, and
there is a disposition to balk at the
beer tax reduction which he dictated
as hig payment Of a hard-and-fast
bargain with the brewers, whereby
the tax was to be reduced if campaign
contributions were plentiful, and
bigger still is the fight against his as
sumption OF dictatorship OF legisla-
ton.
A few nights ago Senator Mcmillan
gave a dinner and asked Senator
found Messrs Allison, Hale, Thurs
ton, Burrows and several others on
hand He expected to be told that
these men would support his bill. In
stead he was told fiat-foOtedly that |
they were against the bill as it now
stands.
Hanna had not much to say, but |
he went back to his house and began |
scheming. The Others scheTed too.
The senators from the middle west
do not see where their people are
to be benefited by the bill, and they
refuse to support it on that ground
Moreover, the strong men who come
from the inland states, among whom
are the real leaders of the senate, do
not relish Hanna's assumption of
leadership and will not countenance
it.
Meanwhile Hanna has looked for
votes diligently on the democratic ,
Side, and has endeavored to fix .
things so that there will be no OBJ .

make a bargain with the senate .
and, while he has had some apparent
