MARITAL TROUBLES.
A Social Incident that May Produce a
 TTanscontinentaI Scandal.

In this little city of Tucson, where life apparently travels over a glass rail way, and but few of the denizens pub licly come in conflict with beartrending disapp0intments, there occur behind the scenes of domestic fife Gs many unnatu- raj strifes and disgusting exposures of moral weakness as can be discovered III any city of its size in the United States.
 The story about to be told is from the lips of q new comer LeFe. a young gen. tleman of ability, of unusual experi- ence, and especially entertaining to the many friends he has already secured in Tucson. He is a personal friend of the CITIZEN reporter, and whatever he tells in relation 10 this incident the reporter unhesitatingly vouches for its truth. Names of the parties concerned ia the story are only withheld because the publication of the same would occasion trouble in several households in San Francisco and New York, and few nor tals with a balanced mind wish to un- necessarily produce pain. The story goes thusly:
 Well, my dear boy" exclaimed the young gentleman as he approached the CITIZEN representative, "i have had an experience this afternoon that for Q time drove away dull care. and again renewed the desires within me to see the alluring vicissitudes of city life. You see whenever l get excited I get correspondingly happy, and a longing comes up to seek once more the joys Of my San Francisco home"
 "Well, what on earth Is the matter| anxiously inquired the reporter, notic- ing that his friend was extremely iubilant.
 .'I will tell you. This afternoon (Fri- day. the Sih instantl l happened to meet a woman here whom I knew when sojourning in San Francisco. There she bclongedto an excellent family. and was married to a man whom l liked very much. Many pieassut evenings 1 spent at their house. When l met her to-day she had a cRreworn look, wearing an eX- presslon of weariness that only pro- ceeds from disappointment with the world, or general lntempeTunce. What a charming woman she was when l first met her. Eyes of blue, LeGged in by long and delicate lashsS, aUchinE eye hrows of a darker tiut, full, round features, nothing out Of proportion; ruby red lips. faintly tinged cheeks, with the coloring that only uninterrupted health can give. l sweag then she was almost Tavishing in her attractions. Form: Why the Venus de Medici could not rival her in bodily contour"
 What dld she have to say?' was the question of curiosity next made by the writer.
 "She told me that she had obtained a divorce from her San Francisco husband and was remarTied. She was anxious tp have me meet her new husband. He was at their oms at the Palace hotel, and l must come up at once. She spoke Of hIs nobility of character, his constant generosity and esthetic nature. Well, by love. I went up there Snd whom do suppose l met? Why, an old New York l friend OI mine. man who occupies high social position in the metropolis, and having 8 charming wife and several beautiful children"
 He must have been glad to see you? said the listener.
 ''See me! Why he blushed aud stam mered like & school boy. aud the very moment the short and frightfully embarrassing conversation suffered an interruption he took mo down stairs ostensiGly for drink, but in fact to beg me not to expose him. Actually with tears in his eyes he told me that be had been led into this affair in q moment of unresist- ing fascination. and now deeply re- gretted the move.

He said he was still sending them money aad making excuses for his nonretGrD. But how will all this end? This query from me made him almost frantic, and he sad it could only result in one dreadful way suicide.
 Do you thlnk the woman really got a divorce from her husband in San Fran cisco?" asked the reporter.
 "I cannot positively say, but have m idea It Is merely mutual separation
