Trenton, Tenn, Aug. IO.-The
holiness meeting which has been
in progress here for the past three
weeks under tent, is announced
to close Tuesday next. The meet

country are in attendance upon
every meeting. Fifty or more
have prOfessed sanctifcatioD. Mr..
Rodgers, assisted by Mrs. Daniels
and three young men have been
conducting the services for a few
nights past. More interest has
been aroused on account of the
spells into which some of his seek

two young ladies were placed in
such a trance that ii was 2 o'clock
in the morning before the meeting
could be closed. Some claim they
are hypnOtized and Mrs. Daniels

this. Whatever it is they use all

tablished an extensive veneering plant.

Many buildings are required in a
manufactory of this kind. The logs
first go into the veneering building
where they are cut into yeneering and
pass through the ven ering or steaming
process. The ma eI~ / is then passed
made into the proper size and style,
when they are taken by the iointing
machines, which makes up and tacks
the boxes ready for the market. The
entire process is done by especially con.
structed and Interchangeable machin
cry. Most all yeneering plants of any
size have packing houses and drying
sheds and the large amount of land Sc
cured by the Mengel Box Co. would
seem to indicate that an extensiv,
plant with these auxiliaries is contem
plated
1t is authoritatively stated that no
less than $50 men, boys and girls viii
be employed by the new plant.
This firm will own their own steam

The continued investments and cree

the future of Hickman as a manufac

TRIAL BEGUN.
Wood. Barnaby and Chapel Ar
raisncd in Webster Circuit
Court. i57l.
CHARGED WITH COMPLETELY
Ar7e er MrPR0WDEACE MURDERS.
Six Jurymen Secured Yesterday and Wit,
Il nesses Waiting to Testify.

The trial of ]. d. Wood, Kit Bar
naby and Sam Chapel is on in the
Webster Circuit Court, in session at
Dixon since last Monday. The
charge against these men, it will be
remembered, is completely in the
murder committed in the Provi-
dence, Ky, battle of Sunday, Nov.
/ IL, 1901. Judge Dorsey is on the
bench. These cases were among the
first on the docket for this term of
court. A large number of witnesses,
subpoepaed on both sides, had ar
rived at Dixon Yesterday and before
the session closed for the day six
jurymen had been selected.
The three men to be tried are off,
cials of the United Mine Workers
of America and it was said to be
chiefly through Woods efforts that
large financial aid was secured from
President Mitchell and the National
Board of the organization to support
Woods effort to unionize the Hop
H Na
kins county territory in 1901, when
$165, 900 was spent In this VAIN at
temptin fourteen months time and
probably 1925, 900 in nineteen months.
Wood was then President for Dis
trict number 23, but has since been
made National Board member.
Barnaby was in 1901 District Vice
President, succeeding Wood and is
now District President. Sam Chap
pell, a negro, ex-soldier and Indian
fighter, was known as q national
organizer in 1901 and has since
kept his Official connection
with the Organization Chap
pelrs resourc rcefulness was of
great help to the officials of the or
gal.ization all through the period of
lawlessness, armed camps and raid
ing parties. He has all along been
trusted as an advisor and lieutenant
by the officials of the Mine Work
ers' organization.
Wood and Barnaby were indicted
by Webster county grand jury as
accessory to the murder, and after
a brief imprisonment, were released
on $4,000 bond each. Chapel was
later indicted and released on $4,000
bond. The Commonwealth did not
disclose its case, which is said to be
very strong one against these
men, when the hearing was had on
motion for bail In these cases. The
cases are Of a sensational character
and the trial win attract widespread
attention. bns sIehi al ,asm a
John Eggles, a1negron who took
part in the Providence battle, IS now
serving a sentence for life for COM
plicity' in this murder. He was
sentenced on the 30th OF last April.
Eggles, with another, negro, was ar
rested at Uniontown shortly, af-
ter the battle, and when taken
had in their possession two Win
chester rifles and one Mauser. The
other negro escaped, was rearrested
and then was rescued from the sher-
itf by a mob of union men at Stur-
gis. He has never been retaken.
