an Impressive Ceremonial and Grand SR-
cred Concert Signalizes the Opening of
the knights TempIar COncIave in St. Louis
The Great Exposition Music Hall Packed
and Thousands Turned Away.
ST. LOUIS, Sept. 2o.-The grandest
musical concert ever given in st. Louis
was that given at Music Hall yesterday
afternoon as the opening services of the
twenty-third triennial conclave of the
Knights Templar.
Long before the hour appointed for the
opening services the steps leading to the
great entrance to Music Hall were packed
with humanity as well as the pavement
along the whole Olive street front, ali
patiently waiting for the doors to be
opened.
At2:15 the doors were opened and
grand rush was made for seats. The
parquette, however, had been reserved
for Sir Knights and their ladies, and
nine policemen standing at the main en-
trance directed those unfortunate in this
respect to the gallery, where in five min
utes not an inch of standing room was
left vacant. The dress-circIe was
then filled up equally compact, and the
Templars filing in few minutes later,
not seat in the house was left vacant.
At least 1000 were standing up. Even
the great vesubule in front of the hall
was crowded throughout the entire
service. Thousands came as far as the
doors, and seeing the hopelessness of
getting within sight of the stage, went
away disappointed.
The following programme, inter
spersed with reading by Sir Knight
Geo c. Belts, and sermon by Rev. Sir
Knight John d. Viucil, was literally rem
dered:

LAMPAzos, Mex, Sept. 1S.-Captain
Jose Maria Herrera and seventy men of
the Tenth Cavalry surrounded El Coyote
and thirty of his band Thursday at p.
M, while they were enjoying an alter
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 fougbt their way through
the ranks of the teoeps. Eight were
killed and three wounded. Among the
killed were:
Colonel Juan Rodriguez Martinez, bet
ter known as El Coyote.
Captain Manuel Perez Vela.
Lieutenant Pauline ChaveTZ.
The troops lost one killed and one
wounded. They captured fifteen horses,
seventeen saddles and twenty carbines.
Captain Hefara is being heartily con-
graduated from all quarters for the spleTs~
did results of his expedition. 1t is a mat
ter Of general surprise that the willy Coy
ote, who has for so long q time been
terror on the border, should have been
caught mapping.
When the troops close din on the slum-
bering band El Coyote was the first to
awake. and springing from the ground he
fairly beloved with rage rs he realized
the terrible position. lie fought like
demon aud tried to rally his men, but his
great power and heTculean form went
down, pierced by a dozen sabers, amidst
the exultant yells of the victorious
troopers who were charged with the per-
formance Of that particular duty. The
bodies Of the eight bandits were buried
where they fell.
New LAREDO, Mexico, Sept. 18.-The
reported death OF FL. 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 a general
feeling of relief, as it is believed that his
death and the recent defeat of MauTiciO
Cruz will bring about a state of peace on
the border that viii not be disturbed for
some time to come. A prominent official
states that the Santa Domingo ranch is
famous for its fine wine and mescal prod
ucts. He suggests that FL Coyote and
his followers celebrated the day there ny
imbibing freely and neglected the usual
precautions. His downfall can be at.
tributed to no other cause.

TlLDEN's BAR'L.

The WIN of the Dead Statesman likely 60
be Contested by Those Who Worked to
Repair His Fortune When There Was the
Most Need - Legatees Who Had Been
Better OF Had They Been Ignored En-
tirely.
NEW YORK, Sept. l8.-In spite Of all
efforts to keep the troubles quiet It has
become almost certain that the estate of
the late Samuel j. Tllden will not be
settled without an unpleasant con-
test. The arbitrary action of An
drew H. Green, the chief of the
executors, IN turning out of the house
at Greystone the sister and niece of Mr..
TIlden 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 will
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.
ceived at the hands of the ladies Of
GTeystOne 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 it is only a 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 10
bring about quiet settlement of the
difficulty, but that they viii probably
fail. That there is something of
this kind going on is shown by
the way in which the probate OF
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 time when it was in an almost hope
less condition, and have been ever
since engaged in paying off old debts,
are LETT in a peculiarly hard situa-
tion by the will. 1t is asserted that
when the young men took hold of the
business it was incumbered with Obliga-
tions running up into the hundreds of
thousands in the shape of paper indorsed
to the Undertook Bank, q mortgage to
secure notes of Mr.. Tilden's brother,
etc. The bulk of the obligations
were incurred in 1876, 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 ulti
matelv they would be reimbursed. Now,
it is said, they would have been better
off had they not received cent
under their uncle's will, and not
have had to assume the debts of the old
firm. Under the will whatever help they
have had from their uncle in paying off
these old debts is to be deducted from
their legaces.

CONVICTED OF MURDER.

Albert Oden and James Lamb, Pair of
Indian Territory Murderers, Convicted of
Their Crime.
FORT SMITH, Ark, Sept. 19.-Albert
Odell and James Lamb, two more Indian
Territory murderers, were convicted in
the United States Court here last night.
Their crime was the murder of Ed Pol
lard in the Chickasaw Nation last
December. Lamb and Odell became in
innate with the wives of Pollard and
Brassfeld, and formed n conspiracy to
kill these men and take their wives.
Brassfield became alarmed and fed to
Arkansas, but Pollard remained, and on
the 26th of last December Mrs. Pollard
sent him to Lebanon, a little town not far
distant, TO get some supplies. She then
notified Lamb and Odell of Pollard's
going and they met him on the road and
murdered him. Two days later Odell
was married TO Mrs. Brassficld ana Lamb
and Mrs Pollard wanted to be marriedy
but the minister refused to marry them.
They lived together, however, until ar
rested. All were indicted but the case
against the women was nolle prosecuted
and they were held as witnesses for the
the prosecutlon, but the testimony was
sufficient TO convict them had the case
not been dismissed. All of these parties
are white. On the trial each defendant
tried to saddle the murder on the other
and each prosecuted the other.

A SEPTEMBER VIOLET.

For days the peaks wore hOods of cloud,
The slopes were veiled in chilly rain;
We said It is the Summers shroUd.
And with the brooks we moaned aloud
VIII sunsh ne never come sgainT
At last the west wind brought us one
Serene. warm, cloUdless, crystal day,
AS though September. having blown
A blast of tempest. now had thrown
A gauntlet TO the favored May.
Backward to Spring our fancies few,
And, careless of the course of Time,
The bloomY days began anew.
Then, as happy dream comes true,
Or as poet finds his rhyme
Half wondered at. half unbelieved-
found thee, friendliest of the fiOwersI
Then Summers joys came back, green-leaved
And its doomed dead, awhile reprieved
First learned how truly they were ours.
Dear violetl Did the Autumn bring
Thee Vernal dreams, till thou like me,
Didst climb to thy imagining2
Or was it that the thoughtful Spring
Did come again, in search of thee2
