The WIN of the Dead Statesman Likely g
be Contested by Those Who Worked to
Repair His Fortune When There Was the
Most Need ~ Legatees Who Had Becr
Better or Had They Been Ignored En-.
tirely.
NEW York, Sept. 18.-In spite Of ell
efforts to keep the troubles quiet 1t has
become almost certain that the estate Of
the late Samuel J. Tilden will not DO
settled without an unpleasant con-
test. The arbitrars action of An
drew HI. Green, the chief of the
executors, In turning out of the house
at Greystone the sister and niece OF Mr..
T,lden and closing up the mansion there,
followed by the taking possession for
himself of the town house at Gramercy
Park, called public attention first to the
troubles among the heirs. Mr.. Green's
action as to Greystone is defended
on the ground that the viii
not being probated yet there
was no money available with which to
keep the house open. 1t Is asserted,
however, that even were he unwilling to
advance the money Necessary for the pur-
pose. the mere courtesies he had re-
Greystone entitled them to more consid-
crate treatment than they received. The
manner of his action more than the act is
criticised. AS to his living at the town
house. it is said that 1t Is only q matter
of convenience, and that all the bills for
the house are paid by himself. 1t is now
announced, as to the prospect of con.
test of the will, that negotiations with
the dissatisfied heirs are under way TO
bring about a quiet settlement OF the
difficulty, but that they will probably
fail. That there is something OF
this kind going on Is shown by
the will is being postponed from week to
week. In this connection 1t is alleged
that the nephews of the dead statesman,
who took up the burden of the business
of their father and uncle at New Lebanon,
at a time when it was in an almost hope.
less condition, and have been ever
since engaged in paying off old debts,
are left in peculiarly hard situa-
ton by the will. 1t is asserted that
when the young men took hold OF the
business 1t was incumbered with obliga-
tons running up into the hundreds OF
thousands in the shape of paper Endorsed
to the Undertook Bank, mortgage to
secure notes of Mr.. Tilden's brother,
etc. The bulk of the obligations
were incurred in 1875, 1876 and
1877, and it is intimated that
they represented expenditures for pOliti-
cal and not for business purposes. Their
friends assert that they took the busi-
ness with an understanding that their
uncle would protect these old debts and
see that they lost nothing by them.
Ever since they have attained their ma
jority they have been at work reducing
this burden, with the idea that ultf
matelv they would be reimbursed. Now,
it is said, they would have been better
off had they not received a cent
under their uncle's will, and not
have had 10 assume the debts of the old
firm. Under the will whatever help they
have had from their uncle in paying OF
these old debts is to be deducted from
their legacies.

The Noted Mexican Bandit Juan Rodrig.
uex Martinez, Better Known as ''El
Coyote" and His Band Surprised by Mex
lean Soldiers-The Leader and Seven of
His Followers Killed-A Feeling of Re-
lief.
LAMPAZOs, Mex, Sept. 18.-Captain
Jose Maria Herrera and seventy men OF
the Tenth Cavalry surrounded Ell Coyote
and thirty of his band Thursday at 8 p.
M, while they were enjoying an after
noon rap at the Santa Domingo ranch.
The horses were staked out, guns stacked
and the bandits had their shoes off, when
the soldiers quietly approached with
drawn swords and began the work of ex-
termination. The bandits were taken
completely by surprise, but they made
a desperate hand to hand fight, and
twenty of them fought their way through
the ranks of the troops. Eight were
killed and three wounded. Among the
killed were:
Colonel Juan Rodriguez Martinez, bet
ter known as Ell Coyote.
Captain Manuel Perez Vela.
Lieutenant Pauline Chaverz.
The troops lost one killed and one
seventeen saddles and twenty carbines.
Captain Herara is being heartily con-
graduated from all quarters for the splen-
did results of his expedition. 1t is mat
ter OF general surprise that the willy Coy
ote, who has for SO long a time been q
terror OH the border, should have been
caught mapping.
When the troops close din on the SUM-
bering band FL Coyote was the first to
awake. and springing from the ground he
fairly beloved with rage as he realized
the terrible position. He fought like
demon and tried to rally his men, but his
great power and herculean form went
down, pierced by dozen sabers, amidst
the exultant yells of the victorious
troopers who were charged with the por-
Torrance of that particular duty. The
bodies of the eight bandits were buried
where they fell.
NEW LAREDO, Mexico, Sept. 18.-The
reported death of Ell. Coyote causes In.
tense excitement in this city, his former
home, and the present home OF his
family. He has many friends here who
claim that he possessed many good
qualities. However, there is general
feeling of relief. as it is believed that his
death and the recent defeat of Mauricio
Cruz will bring about a state of peace on
the border that will not be disturbed for
some time 10 come. prominent official
states that the Santa Domingo ranch is
famous for its fine wine and mescal prod
ucts. He suggests that Ell Coyote and
his followers celebrated the day there by
imbibing freely and neglected the usual
precautions. His downfall can be at.
tributed to no other cause.

Attempt to Assassinate Belfast Police
man.

BELFAST, Sept. IA desperate at
tempt was made last night to assassinate
District Inspector Cosgrove, whose
cousins, the Gillans, are old New York
ers. At the corner of Percy street and
Shank Hill road two detectives were
knocked down and kicked, but not ser-
ously injured, while dispensing crowd
which had gathered. Cosgrove ran up a
side street after young fellow who had
been the only member of the crowd who
used bad language to the police. As soon
as the fellow saw that he had separated
Cosgrove from the patrol of police
he turned and deliberately leyeled a
revolver over his left arm, as a rest, and
snapped it three times at Cosgrove. The
caps exploded each time, but the printing
was apparently damp, as the pistol did
not go off. A iunge of Cosgrove's sword
prevented a fourth attempt, but did not
disable the ruffian, who ran Off. After
half mile chase through the narrow al
leys between Shank Hill and Old Lodge
roads the fellow escaped. One encourage
ing feature of the whole affair Is that no
attempt was made to stop the policeman
during the chase or to aid the runaway.

An Ex-Convict Sues His Attorney for
Malpractice.

OMAHo, Neb., Sept. 12.-Judge Hamer,
of the Tenth judicial district, while visit
ing in Omaha yesterday, was sued for
$4,000 damages by an ex-peniteniiary
convict named John Williams. Eleven
years ago Williams, who lived in Kearney
County, had a quarrel with neighbor
named Vrooman and his son, both of
whom he shot and killed. Judge Hamer,
then practising attorney, defended him.
Williams says in his petition that he was
indicted for murder in the first degree;
that there was great prejudice against
him in Kearney County, as well as in
Buffalo County but nevertheless defend
ant Hamer, permitted him to be indict-
Ell and allowed the case to 60 to Buffalo
County; that he (Williams) was there
convicted of manslaughter and sentenced
to ten years; that new trial was grant
ed; that other counsel argued the case in
the Supreme Court; that the case came
back and he was tried In Buffalo County
for the killing of the son, but that he all
ways thought that Adams County was
the best county; that the case for killing
the father was sent to Adams County.
and as evidence that he was right he was
acquitted in Adams County, but was
convicted again in Buffalo County for
killing the son. His claim for time spent
in the penitentiary is put in at three dol
lars day. The rest of the $4,000 is
for damage to his feelings.

A Peculiar Experience on Lake Superior.


CHICAGO, Sept. 12.-Captain Maraden
of the propeller Donaldson relates q
strange experience he had OH the trip to
Chicago. One night last week while COM
ing up to Lake Superior with the schooD-
ers Brightie and Nellie Mason in tow, .
furious gale from the northeast was en-.
countered. The wind attained velocity
of fully forty miles an hour and continued
with undated fury for several hours. 1t
was accompanied by vicious cross sea,
the waves running very high, even for
Lake Superior. The steamer labored
badly in the heavy seas, and it was with
great difficulty that she succeeded in
weatherins. Suddenly, and with
out any apparent cause, the
wind died away into a dead calm,
and in less than five minutes the
whitc-capped waves flattened out into a
perfectly smooth sea. The crews of all
three vessels were greatly mystified by
the strange phenomenon, and all agreed
that they had never seen anything like it
on the lake before. Turning to his mate,
tho captain remarked that there must
have been some unusual disturbance on
land. On reaching the Sault the captain
went ashore and secured newspaper.
1t was then he learned that at about the
same time he had witnessed this singular
action of wind aid wave Charleston had
been badly shaken by an earthquake.

Senator Sawyer stated Saturday in
Washington that he had personally ex-
smined nearly all cases of appointments as
postmasters in Wisconsin in place of
suspensions. and having found no charges
against the character, moral or official, of
the former officers, as a member OF the
postoffice committee he should report the
names fayorably, and they would un-
doubtedly be confirmed. The postoflice
department gave Senator Sawyer access
to all the papers in the Wisconsin cases,
and the charges usually preferred were
were that pictures of Blaine and Logan
had been hung in the Offices, and that
they had been the rendezvous of republic
an campaigners, and similar charges.
This may be hint of value to the newly
fedged democratic postmasters.
