Case Brought In London Because Of Mar
rtage In Nevada Last Year.
.sp,ctaI Cable D.spateh 10 TIE {

LONDON, June i7.-Eari Russell was arrested
to-day on charge OF having contracted
a bigamous marriage in the United States
and was taken in a cab to the Bow stree,
police station. When he alighted at the police
court he was wearing dust coat and Ham,
burg hat He was smoking a cigar and ap-
peared to be unconcerned.
Earl Russell was taken before Sir Franklin
Washington. the chief Police Magistrate
for London who sat in his private room
Lady Russell remained In the courtroom
The public was not admitted to the hearing
and the Magistrates small room was crowded
with friends Of the prisoner and Scotland
Yard officers Mr.. Bodkin prosecuted on
behalf Of the Treasury.
Mr. Bodkin stated that the prisoner was
accused Of committing bigamy In the United
States on April S. 1900. He said that he In
tended calling Judge Curler as a witness
and made q formal statement OF the facts
on which the charge was based.
Mr. Doulton counsel for the defence.
stated that the defendant had obtained an
American divorce which he believed to be
good.
The Earl was admitted to bail In fi 900
and two sureties In $500 each were furnished.
IL IL anticipated tnat lnusfnucl "a OiRdrny
IL a felony. Earl Russell will be tried by the
House OF Iords-his peers The inquiry
will go on before a Magistrate up to the COM
initial stage. Then a bill Of indictment will
be preferred in the ordinary course at the
Old Bailey. II such bill Is found there
1t will be certified into the House Of Lords
by q writ OF certiorari. The House Of Lords
will then take up the proceedings.
Earl Russell's marital career has been
troubled In 1890 he welded the daughter OF
Sir Claude Scott. but In the following year
she sued him for divorce. making charges Of
cruelty and other offences OF a serious char
acter The char ges created great scandal.
The Countess was unsuccessful in her suit and
she was compelled to pay the costs which
II Is said amounted to over $4,000. Her
mother, Lady Scott. was afterward con-
victed and Imprisoned for libelling the Earl
and the Coun tess was convicted OF lbelling

RETAIL PRICE OF COAL UP.
DEALERS DECIDE TO RAISE IT TWENTY
FIVE CENTS TON.

sim Another Twenty-Five Cents Ton WIZ he
Added on Sept. I, and an Equal Amount
on Nov. l-Retailers Say the Wholesale
Dealers Are to Blame for the Advance.
The retail price OF coal was advanced
rs cents ton yesterday. This increase
was decided upon at a meeting OF the retail
dealers OF this city held last Friday night
at the Coal Exchange. Lexington avenue
and Fifty-eighth street. Fully 90 per cent.
OF the New York dealers were at this meet
ing which was presided over by Grove D..
Curtis Of Curtis 4 Blaisdell. In addition
to the advance which went into operation
yesterday. II was resolved also to add
another rs cents ton on Sept. I. and to
make a still further increase OF like amount
on Nov. I.
Householders therefore will be compelled
after the latter date to pay an additional rs
cents a ton beyond the prices which pre-
vailed prior to yesterday despite tho fact
that there Is no stringency in supplies
and that freights are easier than they have
been for a long time past. The increased
price 70 the consumer Is brought about
solely. the retailers assert. by the purpose
OF the wholesalers TO recoup themselves
for the Losses sustained during the strike
in the anthracite fields year ago. From
the time the strike ended until April last
the ruling prices charged by the retailers
were ss75 a ton for stove and nut coal.
and $3.50 for broken and egg. Then the
wholesalers, with view to stimulate orders.
reduced quotations and the retailers fol-
lowed suit by fixing uniform price OF
IS ton for all four sizes OF household coal;
But according to Information optained
from some Of the large retail f1rIns yester-
day the operators have been raising prices
since April 10 cents ton month. and 1t
Is 70 meet this additional cost that the re-
tailers have determined upon the advances
named The consequence OF II all Ia that
the consumer after November next will
be required to pay as much Tor his tnel
as he did before the April reduction. BE-
ginning yesterday retailers througnout
the city put into effect a charge OF rs a
ton for coal "all round" that Is, for all
four sizes) In place OF the IS at which the
four qualities have been listed since April.
The prices which prevailed last spring
were g. rs O ton for broken and egg and Is
for stove and nut.
Another step decided upon at Fridays
meeting was the doing away practically
with the payment OF commissions TO sales,
men. Many OF the larger retail houses OF
this city have been in the habit OF paying
commissions to their statesmen. II has
come 10 their knowledge that the statesmen
capyassing in the Italian and Hebrew dis
tric,, ave induced trade by agreeing to
divide the commissions with their patrons.
As this amounted virtually to reduction
I'm price to the buyer II violated the agree
ment existing among the retailers to main
tain a single market price. To overcome
the difficulty 1t was decided to either put
the saesmen on salary or to adjust the
scale of payments in such way as would
prevent the statesmen splitting his COM
mission with his customer.
