BETHLEHEM, Pa., Jan. 27. The people of Northampton are excited over a scandal that has en ded in murder by poison. Adam Bartholomew is a man eighty-six years of age, and resides near the base of the Blue Ridge, in Moors township, about ten miles north of this place, .lie. is a man well to do in this world's goods aud the owner of several large farms. Until re cently his household consisted of bis wife, his widowed daughter, Mrs. Houser, and a hired girl nam-i ed Eliza Ann Sp&ngler, aged eigh- j teen years. Eliza Ann was a come ly Dutch girl, aud, by hr wily man ners, captivated the octogenarian fanner. The intimacy between tho two became so notorious that, at ttto age of seventy-five, the mother wxs driven from home and went to live TV iib a daughter at Siegfried's Ridge, ou the Lehigh. The widow ed daughter, Mrs. Houser, was au invalid, suffering with dropsy. She continued to live with her father and his young charmer after the mother had left the old home j though not in perfect harmony with j the woman who had usurped the ! place of her mother. TUYISG TO GET MARRIED. Things went along well enough until Mrs. Bartholomew vas taken ill and died. Toon with indecent haste the two asked a neighboring Jnstice of the Peace to marry them. Indeed, the couple were in the Squire's office making their request when the funeral procession passed by the door. Neither the widower nor his servant girl attended tho buiiaL The Just;re refused to mar ry the cnupie and they returned home. ITorn that day th.-y livel together as iu a married state. But there was much trouble iu store foi them. Relatives protested and invuied ilaugoter refused to rec g niZ9 the woman Spaugler as the head of the house. Ou Tuesday, the 15th inst., Bartholomew and Ins servant made another marriage able attempt. Tins time they ap plied to S. 6- Duffy, Esq., of Bath. The scandal had, however, spread *ivor the entire tovuship. and again they were unsuccessful. The woman then declared she would not long er live.iu this dependent way ; some thing delluite must be done. To satisfy bar Bartholomew gave her an acknowledged judgment against his property iu the sum of $d,500. conditioned that sue live witn him through the remainder of his life. With this document in her posses sion she returned as Mrs, Bartholo mew by agreement, and lost no time in iiiloxLuiug Mis. iiouser that uow a different state ot affairs existed 4 that she was u*ad of the house, arm allowed tho invalid live days iu which to leave tho premise*. The daughter tailed to leave, and debed the woman who luui been installed la place of her mother. The neigh bors feared trouble, and were scarce ly surprised lo learn, on Wtdn9ilay last, that Mrs. Houser had died the previous night, biowiy the tacts came to light. Mrs. llouser was tak en more than usually ill on Tuesday let. The woman Spongier off-red her a cup of tea, but sue lefuaeu to take it. Being assured that it was harmless, she finally consented. By midnight she was a corpse. Before daylight the body had been removed to a neighbor's house, together with ali her worldly effects. ''Those who yed her so well while living uiigut bury her, now that sue was dead,'' remarked Miss Spangler ; and the nld man and his free-love wife "held t ie fort" by tlicniatlvts. sTO?rj>ro A ruKjcßAr. The district where tae Bartholo mew reside is a benighted stud of region. Coroner's inquests are sel dom held, and the people rather re gard the office as a needless one, and provided simply to give some ring jpolitician a soft berth ; consequent ly : it was Jate on Friday before Dis trict Attorney Austett hoard of the aiuir. He at once directed the Cor onn to cause a pogt-aiorteal eyam i .ation to l>e made. Coroner Uhlei to the seeue yesterday, and fouud that the funeral had lc/i, the house and was ou its wdy to the lVtersYille Cuuroh. The body was .b?iug carried into the church when lb© Coroner reached there. A con- ference ensued. The corns© was handed over to the authorities, and the services were permitted to be proceeded with. At their conclu sion a jury was empanneled, and eight witnesses were examined. Their testimony was very dam aging to tho girl Spongier. A score of others offered to testify. As the post mortem had not been complet ed, and the caso being a very im •pnrtHiit one, the inquest was ed journed until teu o'clock to-morrow .Morning, when it will be continued at Hath. District Attorney An steet will conduct the further hear ing. Since the Larus poisoning. When three persons were killed and a whole family endangered, uottng has caused so great a sense"©" in this section us the death of Mrs. Houser. That sufficient evidence will be obtained fcr the conviction of the woman Tangier there is hard ly A doubt. And she is now under ai reat. ABOUT Dl tLI.Vb. A Uniqus Affair of lienor in Geor gia— Journalism and the Code. 11. IV. Grady in I'uimdtUphln YVKKKLV TIXEd. r - A meeting that took place in Au gusta. Ga., about two years ago, was a unique one in some respects. Several years ago a young Irishman, C. Tilley, by name, settled in Augusta. ITe was a remarkable handsome man, being pronounced the fiinst specimen of physical man hood iu the State. His strength was something wonderful. Htviuj bee a trained in the best of gymna siums he was the superior of many professional athletes. He was skill ed in all social accomplishments and was a great favorite. In the same city was George E. ltadcliffe, a young Marylander, who was also a popular and considerable figure in ♦ociety. Both were young brokers, luis said that there was tor a long time ill feeling between the gentle men. A rumor prevails that ltad cliffe was engaged in a game of bill iards with a party of friends one day whec Tilley entered and was asked to take part in the game. As he oaensented ltadcliffe threw his :uedown, remarking that ho pro posed to play only with gentlemen. 'Nolhi.ig came of this affair, how ever, even if it le true that such a thing took plae* A day or TWO af ter this rejoited occurrence, Tilley was approached by a friend who in formed him that a hideous rumor, affecting his position as a decent person, was being circulated about the city. Tilley at once set out to fiud the author of the rumor. It was soon traced to Radcliffe. Tillpy at once opened correspondence with : him. Their notes are worthy of publication in fulL Mr, Tilley wrote : Gio. E. BadcUjJe, Esq. Rumors detri mental to my charac ter, coming to ruy ears as having been repeated by you, makes it obli gatory upon ma to deiuaud your au thority. What these charges me it is useless for me to mention, as! am sure yuu niuat be aware of their nature. I prenounce them base false and malicious, aui will hold any man responsible for tiie further repeating of the slanders. C. D. TILLEY. TO which Ibidcliffe replied, as follows : Mr. C. D. Tiiley. Your note of yesterday's date was received. Thfi rumors that you refer to came to my eais in the shape of a common report, and as audi were repeated by me. The difficulty that would attend an ef fort ot the kind, compels me to de cline to attempt to Cite you any special authority. Tue last pa.a 'Siape of your note.is so general in Us character, and based so entirely i p .11 contingencies that may arise m ihe future, Ido not feel called upon to answer it. GEO. E. BADCLIFFK. TUley replied, saving liiaz Hatl cldSe, in his note, had added insult .to in-jury, and demanded satisfac tioo "fur t*e wrong YOU have done me." Radcliffe answered, "The satisfaction you demand for the af front you think I have put upon you shall be duly accorded. At the meeting which was spetdi !y ai ranged, about thirty persons were present. The men werediess eu in dark suits, and stood facing east and west. The distance was ten paces, the weapons pistals. Both meu were remarkable cool. As he was walking to his position Tilley roiled a cigarette with great precision aud lit if. On taking position Radcliffe careless kicked a clump of grass out of wav, so tuat he might stand squarely and tirly. Tiie firing was unusually quick, lioth pistols exploding al most simultaneously at the word "One Tne meu stood like stat ues after the firing, and it was thought that neither had been hit. Neither said a word. The seconds walked up to them. Some one call ed to Harris (Tillcy'3 3ccond), "Look to your mau there, he's hit.*' As Harris reached tiai Til ley put out bis right hand, still grasping liis pistol, fell heavily against him, and dropped his head on his shoulder. It was then known that he had been hit. Tilley's splen did vitality led him to hope that he could stand for another shot. He raised his frame erect and shook his head back as if summoniug strength for the trial, but as soon as he had straightened himself sank helplessly to the ground. He died In a fc.v dsya. LOUISIANA'S RKTPRJTINO HOARD. Sheriff Houstoh Arrestod for Forcing An Entrance in to th# Custom House. NEW OKLEANS, January 27. ' At thrvo o'clock yesterday Sheriff I llousfon, who had been in the Cus | torn House for several hours, learu -1 iug that a Deputy Marshal had been | put iu charge of the Collector's of fice, which was locked and bolted, proceeded to the main door of tho office and there informed the Mar i shal and Deputy Collector Tomlin sou that he ft ad writ to execute against J. Madison Welia and oth ,.p. whom he had good reason to believe were contiued in tho room, and he desired admittance. This was refused ; whereupon the Sheriff, who was accompanied by two depu ties, s*id that be would forco au entrance, Mr. Tomlin.son then summoned the Chief Deputy Mar shal, who proceeded to the door of the Collector's office and there or dered the Sheriff and his assistants, ea well as the crowd that bad gath ered, to disband. The Sheriff refus ed to leave, saying that he was dt>- tci mined to execute the writ of tho court at any hazard or be arrested in the attempt. Sheriff Houston then shghtty advancing, Deputy Mat shal Wurzburgei laid hands upon him and claimed him and his deputies as prisoners. The Sheriff and party submitted to arrest, and were taken before Judge Billings, sitting n the United States Circuit Court, but the latter stid he had nothing te do with the matter, as the p;trties had not been arrested by virtue of any proct ss from his court. Mr. Wuri burger then took his prisoners before United Slates Commissioder Lane, and Mr, Tomliuson, the Collector's corresponding secretary, made an affidavit against Sheriff Houston and sent for the commander of tho revenue cutter and a detachment of m&iiuts, ordering them to be sta tioned at his door, through which a passage lias to bo effected to reach the Collector's office. General Shel don and Mr. Dolorvin, appearing before Commissioner Lane and deny ing the jurisdiction of his court, asked for Sheriff Houston's release. Mr. Gurlcy, Assistant District At torney, asked for a continuance un til to-uiorrow. Commissioner Lane refused to grant the eoutiuuiorce, and released Sheriff Houston on bis own recognizance. Later in the day Attorney General 11. N. Qgdeii sent the followiug dispatch to At tome-* General Devens ■: Four persons J. Madison Wells, Thomas C. Anderson, G. Caaenave and J* M. Kesmer, who are nder an information for felony under the laws of th*i State, UavT furfvited their rwognizanco, and have, I am intoxmod, taken shelter in the Cus tom tlousu of this city. Writs for their arrest are in the bands of the Sheriff and he went with the writs to arrest them. Understanding they were shut up in a room in the building he was itout lo force an entrauee for ti*e purpose f arresting them when he Wis himself arrested, as I am imformed, upon an affidavit that he threatened to open the door by force. lam not aware of any cession of exclusive jurisdiction 011 this building, nor of any law that would give immunity to offenders against tno State laws within IU doors. Please Inform m* whether the General Government has author ized or will sustain this conduct. At 10 o'clock lest night Marshal Wharton received a dispatch from Mr. Devcns, instructing him not to interfere with writs cf tho State courts. Sheriff Houston was notified an.l found Anderson, Konner and Caseimvo iu tho Collector's efftee, whence they were taken ro tho par ish prison, where they will remain uu'il they furnish bonds of rive thousand dollars each. ■ Wells was not in tho Custom House, but was seeu on a morning traiu OH the Mobile road. It is bo lieved he is still In the State, and will surrender ro-morrow and fur nish bonds at once. Late to-night Anderson, Casenave and Keener remain in the Parish Prison, but will give bail 10-morrow. Wells has not yet surrendered, hut will probably do so to morrow, when the trial will begin. Below wo publish an item that is go : ng the rounds of the press. We have little faith iu the story, but should it be a rea'ity, it is an awful evidence of the vengeance of an of fended and insulted God : "A farmer near Bloomingtoa, whose religious tenets were not very christian like, had his hay stacks blown down by a s f orm last week and became s< enra<rd over it that lie cursed God, the Son of God and the Holy Ghost, and declared if Jesus Christ was there ho would cut His throat from ear to ear. Upon the utterance of this speech, a small black cloud settled around him, af ter which he raised his hands as if to protect himself, when he was in stantly paralyzed in that position ! Many persons say they have seen this dumb-struck statuary still iu the attitude in which this awful judgement left him, and they say further that no one can approach him, as he is encircled for a space of twenty feet by a burning, scorching neat that no human boi.ig can boar."—Grant 00.
