THERE are few portions of the United States, outside of, California, now attracting the attention of capi- talists and immigrants so greatly as Arizona. The demonstration of its wonderful possibilities as an agricul- tural country and the development of is rich mines have convinced eastern people who are desirous of seeking bet ter fields for investment, that our Ter ri.ory presents grand opportunities Eot found elsewhere. Its destiny is Q bright one and the next decade will Witness its magic growth from an ob- scUre and unimportant territory into a populous and prosperous state. Those who seek homes in this chosen land now will reap the rich harvest that must follow when the great rush comes. People with small means can now secure land cheaply that few years hence will command figures that only the wealthy can give. The one clement of prosperity is being develop ed and very soon the rich lands of the broad valleys will receive the fructify- ing waters that have gone to waste for centuries, and everywhere will bright venture and golden fruit succeed the unsightly desert growth of useless shrub and struggling cacti, and happy homes will be created where desola. tion has reigned for ages. The new era has dawned and the transforma ton has already commenced, and the inevitable sequel is q picture that i' indeed bright and beautiful.

Sheriff Mulvenon received the fol- lowing telegram from Division Super intendent Dodge of the Atlantic < Pa cifc railroad, yesterday about noon: ''The west bound express train was stopped by three masked men at Par ker's mill last night, but they did not get anything. Francis is now at Bell mont with posse, but says he cannot do much until Indian trailers get there tomorrow morning. One of the men was low sized, short, sandy whis- kers and mustache and wore white slouch hat. All three looked like cow boys A reward of five hundred dol lars is offered for the capture and con viction of each, or fifteen hundred dol lars for the three, which will probably be increased by Wells, Fargo & Co"
 Sheriff Mulvenon left on yesterday afternoons train for the scene of the robbery and will engage Indian trail CTS and try to run the robbers to earth The train was stopped at the above point, the engineer and fireman were covered with pistols by the robbers who compelled them to detach the engine and two front cars from the train and run about two miles, wher to their discomfture they discovered that the cars contained only mail anC baggage, the express car which they were after, being left with the passen i ger coaches. The mails were untouch ed. This is the first train robbery eve committed in this county.-Journa ] Miner.

This stern conqueror's spirit was once, however, overcast with deep melancholy. 4 wonan's love venquished him, a pas sion that exercised q great influence over his future history and life. This was in perfect harmony with the @sthetical laws of contrast and with the more human laws of contradiction. A lady of honor attached to the court of his mother, the lovely Eliza R&dziwin, enamored him to such an extent that he finally resolved to marry below his rank. This project caused great scandal. The old courtiers and the old royalists considered it an act of rebellion and an outrage against the ancient privileges of monarchical govern Inent But some there were who found in the quarterings of this lady ancient titles of nobility and in her genealogy pure blue blood, of the genuineness of whose blueness abundant proof existed.
 This marriage, nevertheless, would have been undoubtedly "mesalliance," and Prince William would have lost all right to the throne of his fathers. William s younger brother, Charles, declared that he would claim for his own sons the right to succeed to the throne instead of the sons of his elder brother. This bold threat decided William to relinquish all idea of wedding the woman he loved, in order to choose one of his own rank. Thus he married Augusta, princess of Weimar. This disappointment increased the warlike inclinations of a wounded he2rt.-FOreign Cor. Boston Transcript.

Avoid making endless adieux in parting with friends.

A LARGE EAIBEZZLEnIENT.
The Secretary of Carbon Company
Charged With Defalcation.

CnarSod with DefalCat1On.
DETROIT, January 17th.-A sensation in
business circles was caused this afternoon,
when it became known that Charles +.
Young, for many years the confidential
bookkeeper of the Michigan Carbon Works,
but more recently Secretary and Treasurer
of the concern, had been arrested, charged
with embezzlement. Young has for years
past reveled in the possession of blooded
horses, nobby turnout and 4 colored
coachman, all on a salary of 1,S00. But
as his father was known to be wealthy, it
excited no special attention. Last Septem-
Der 1oung was promoted to the position of
Secretary and Treasurer, and not long after
wards a decrease in the dividends to stock
holders caused complaints. This dissatis-
faction led to an investigation. 1t was as
certained then that somebody high in of
flee had been pocketing money belonging
to the company for the last two or three
years.
President Jarvis had cen active in the
search for the guilty party, and at q meet
ing of the Board of Directors, held a few
days ago, he informed his conferees that
Young was the culprit. He said that
Young, even as confidential bookkeeper.
had handled money for the purchase of
bones, and had credited bone peddlers with
many pounds of bones that they had not
supplied, and that he had pocketed the
difference. This explanation was accepted.
Accordingly Young was locked up last
night. He was not shut up in the ordinary
quarters at the Jail, but was placed in a
room at the Sheriff's residence. There is
an air OF mystery about the affair, and
when the reporter sought an interview at
the jail this afternoon he was told negotia-
tons were under way to settle the affair,
and that he could not see the prisoner.
President JARVIS, after consulting with his
attorney, stated this afternoon that, as near
as could be ascertained, the defalcation
amounted to $4,000, and had extended
over period of three years, being accom-
plished in very clever way, so as to avoid
suspicion most effectually. The action is
one of trespass, or case for embezzlement,
and Young is held in $4,000 bail, which he
has not yet given.

" 1t is Il fight TO the death. This was the

by which the former are not to return TO

the grievances of the Tailroaders are taken

that they are prepared to stay out as long

Surrounded by Police, With Assassins

[COpyigit, 1855, by he CaIioy7ai ssociate,i Press
LONDON, January 17th-Oficial anxiety
about Balfour has OF late much increased.
The police authorities say he is in greater
danger of assassination than ever. For
esters repeated escapes We're nothing short
of miraculous. This opinion is based, not
upon the general hatred shown Balfour by
the Irish leaders and English allies, but
upon specific information which the police
believe is absolutely accurate. Plot after
plot to murder the Chief Secretary has been
formed and frustrated. The Invincibles
are steadily at work. They believed they
had chance wnen Balfour spoke lately at
Manchester and the attempt would have
certainly been made had not the authori-
ties insisted on his sleeping in the town
hall, which is also police headquarters.
The asSassins thought that rather too hot a
place to venture into.
The precautions now taken at Dublin are
greater than ever before. The vice-regal
lodge, where the Chief Secretary lives, and
Phoenix Park, in which the lodge stands,
swarms with detectives and he is never
allowed to take step alone. Thus goes
on sort of duel between the aSSassins and
the police, with the life of the ruler of
Ireland at stake. Much more than Bal
fours life is at stake. The triumph of the
assassins would ring the last knell of home
rule. None have more Cause TO pray for
bis safety, yet none so bitterly reYile him,
needless OF the fact that every insult and
calumny heaped on him furnishes SO many
more provocations and pretexts to his
wOuld-be murderers

HaskiDs and others claimed that they de-
veloped the mines, which are tbirty-two
miles northwest from Tucson, A. T.. and
organized the Atlas Mining Company, the
capital stock of which was So, 600 600.
Haskins was the original owner of the
mines, and agreed TO give half the stock to
the organizers if they were successful. The
decision Is regarded as a complete refuta-
tion of the charges made against Haskins
when the Injunction was granted.
