Southern Arizona Ia attracting a
great deal of attention from Mining

Of silver opened up there during the
last two years. The Tomb tone Group
is q striking instance, five mines Of this
group having shipped over three
million dollars in bullion since the
first OF January last. The chief OF
t'ese mines, the Tombstone Mining and
Milling Company is D fhilahelphia
company, and is paying regular divi-
dends through our banks.
In the same county with Tombsto one,
only further west, and a little nearer
the Mexican boundary, in Myers Min

"A comely and handsome young widow
named Annie Rodgers, who is possess.
ed Of considerable means and lives in
good style a: No. 32h; POwcltown ave-
ne, West Philadelphia, was the com i
plaiEant in case investigated yester
day morning by Magistrate Clark, the
defendant being j. Marston, a young
married man. who gave his residence
a. 622 Preston street. According to the
story told by Mrs. Rod gers, she has
been annoyed for some time past by the
attentions of Marston, which amounted
TO persecution and had compelled her to
leave several cities.
A few days ago she came to Philade =
phia and rented her present residence
in the hope that he would be unable to
find her. Scarcely, however, had she
got settled when threatening letters and
telesrams began to pour in. On Mon
day afternoon the defendant put in an
appearance in person, ana after gaming
entrance to the house through front
window, pointed a pistol at her head
and threatened to take her life. When
she screamed for help he took to flight,
but returned at O'Clock in the evening
and knocked at the kitchen door. Mrs.
Rodger had meanwhile secured the ser
vices of a private watchman, and Ser.
geant Mcneil and Off ,er Wools, on, of
the Sixteenth district, were also lying
in wait AS soon as the knockin : COM
menced The officers emerged from their
hiding place and Marston was taken to
the station house Subsequently it was
ascertained that he lad engaged coupe
to move up aud down the street during
the visit, as if ready to recei We him and
leave in a hurry. Upon narration OF
these facts the defendant was commit
