Retribution.

If the members Of the Louisiana
Re turning Board had known that
they would have been forsaken and
left naked to their enemies they would
not have perpctratcd the great fraud
which made Hayes President. But
stern retribution promises to oyertake
them at last They are now on trial
in New Orleans for their yilliany. Ola
Wells, the chief william Of them MI,
was arrested by the local authorities,
but after being let out on bail, made
good his escapc,and awaited relief from
Washington The members Of the
board applied to Judge Bradley to re-
move theirtfiaI to ~ 'nitcd States court
but the application was not granted.
terholdingit for several days Judge
Bradley rendered an adverse decision
and added insult to injury by stating
that if they did not like his decision
they could refer the matter to the fun
supreme bench, as il was understood
that ne had consulted With the other
members and they concurrcd in his
Dpinion. Wells WAS re-arrested and
taken back t. New Orleans, where he
was placed II the parish prison. lie

thousand dollars. Andefsons triad is
now in progress, and facts are being
elected which arc not calculated to
SOOthc the fears Of those who took part
in the great crime. The outlook IS
n}thing but favorable TO them. The
great question At issue, and in Which
the country N directly interested, is
not whether the four men who COM
posed the board arc guilty and deserve
to be punished, but whether or not the
great fraud perpetlatcl.by these Inen
and sanctioned by great party shall
be 80 plainly proven tnat hc WHO runs

TRIED TO SEE HIS SWEETHEART,
But a Band of AmaZOns With
ReSOms Frustrate His Design.

Some time ago Mrs Frances Kutzleb, of
No. 400 Central avenue, and Frederick Rol-
fus married man, having four children,
were arrested on a charge of adultery and
locked up in jail i'll default of $500 bail
each.
On the 10th inst the readers of the STAR
will remember Kutzleb, the husband Of
the woman named above died from sum
stroke, and he being the prosecuting wit
ness in the case, his wife was discharged
from custody by the Prosecuting Attorney
Lewis Irwin. His reasons for releasing her
were that he could not now make out a
case against her and her solemn promise to
reform.
1t seems that she has since lived up to her
word and proposes still to do so.
Evening before last, however, Rolfus her
alleged accomplice in the crime mentioned
above, was also released from Jail. He at
once took the opportunity of going straight
to Mrs. kutzeb's residence, presuming that
his visit would be acceptable to the hand
some widow. In this, however, he was mis-
taken. The widow had noticed his coming
and securely locked herself in her room,
while Rolfus was trying to get in, partly by
persuasion and partly by force.
In the meantime the neighbOrs, who had
become tired of the scandal, aroused them
selves. This was especially so among the
female population there. Soon band
of Amazons, numbering score or more,
organized, and, arming themselves with
brooms dray-pins, and such like imple-
ments of war, proceeded to attack the fes-
tive Rolfus. They found him on the porch
trying to get into Mrs kutzleb's room, and
soon their besoms, &c, were applied to the
body of the hapless wretch with telling eff
feet. He stood the assault for some time,
but then cowardly broke through the ranks
of the excited females, and fled, to be seen
no more that night in the excited neigh
borhood.
The incident narrated above has given
the people in that neighborhood lively
topic of discussion, with points in it
enough to give their tongues work for
week

Tale OF a Tramp.

Some time since painter from Dayton,
KY, named Thomas NJ. Shepherd, whose
wife had been divorced from him in 1874
started out on a tramp. He pulled up at
Deckerd, Tenn, where he was employed to
paint the house of Mrs Williams, wealthy
widow, whom, after limited acquaintance,
he wooed, won and welded. Some time
afterwards a citizen Of Newport addressed a
letter to Shepherd, saying that his wife and
children in Dayton were well. The letter
fell into other hands. and Deckerd was in a
fever of excitement over the discovery that
Shepherd was a bgamist. He was arrested
and thrown in jail, and man sent to New
port to look up the case. The Court records
were yesterday examined, and as they ex-
onerated Shepherd dispatch was at once
sent for his discharge. Shepherds new
wife is worth about 100000.

Yesterday afternoon James Doyle, second
cook OF the Laura L. Davis which lies at
the Big Sandy Wharfboat, foot of Broad
way, engaged in quarrel with Andy Crop
per, and ended by striking him over the
head with poplar club and knocking him
down. Doyle was found to be dangerously
hurt, and being taken to his home in New
port, he died at fifteen minutes after 4
o'clock. Doyle was deck hand and had
the reputation of being a peaceable and sober
man, while Cropper, it is said, has an ugly
temper and is large man, six feet in
height. Cropper made his escape, and it
was reported that his brother, Josh Crop
per, mate of the boat, gave him money and
took him across to Kentucky in skif.
