RosLYy, April 10 Special. The coal
situation. which has been so unsatisfac-
tory here for some time, was relieved to-
day by the announcement that the de-
uland by the railroad company had been
about doubled. This increases the amount
Of coal to the railroad from 800 to 600 cars
per week. The mines at Roslyn and at
Ronald will at once commence to work full
time. The announcement is being received
with good deal of satisfaction by miners
and merchants alike. 1t is thought the
increase is the result of additional train
service and a general picking up of traffic
on the Northern Pacific railroad. The de-
mand for commercial coal is still small.
though an increase is apparent 10 some
points, notably Eliensburg, where the in
ception of an iron industry is already max
ing itself felt. The contract between the
coal company and the miners will expire
May l and it is thought by some that this
sudden increased demand by the railroad
Is precaution taken to secure them from
interruption pending the settlement or in
the event of any differences arising be-
tween the miners and the company re-
eariing the resumption of the contract as
ii now reads. 1t is thought, however, and
hoped that the renewal of the contract
will be amicably settled. 1t is not known
that any material alterations in the pres
ent contract will be made or asked for,
though the miners claim a few grievances
which are petty and will probably be adj
justed without trouble

Tho Alton Boycott Not Alarming.

CHICAGO, April lo.-The Alton officials
are very cheerful in the face of the boycott.
At conference today they decided to

The Dashing Barmaid Lost Her Suit.
HARTFORD, April l0.-When Lieutenant
+. g. Hyde, of the navy, died at Wood
stock, Conn, last fall, he left not only an
estate of 500, 900, but divorced wife and
q widow to fight over it. The divorced
wife was dashing brunette, employed as
barmaid at Vallejo, Cal, where Hyde
first met her in 1870, while on duty with
his ship on the Pacific coast. In 1873 he
located at Oxford. Mass. Domestic trouble
arose, and, his dissatisfaction with the
conduct of his wife having increased, he
cash if she would procure divorce. She
dence secured a divorce in 1856.
Next year Lieutenant Hyde married
Miss Alice Robinson, and removed
TO Woodstock, Conn. The divorced wife.
who had returned to Oxford, remained
there quietly until Lieutenant Hyde's
death, when to the surprise of the mourn
ers she unexpectedly appeared at the
funeral and made a startling exhibition.
Three months later she sued the widow
for 5000 damages, charging that she had
alienated the lieutenant's affections and
induced him to coerce her into getting a
divorce. When the widow was arrested
an effort to compromise on $4,000 was
made, but she refused, engaged counsel
and prepared for fight. Two of the old
est and most prominent lawyers of the
state joined in the casee The result of
their work is that the plaintiff today
abandoned the case. The affair has been
