Mattie simonton on Trial.

The case of Matte Simonton, charged with the murder of Big Jim" Simonton, January 30. 1908. has been on trial to. day Hattie Simonton and her mother, Chaney Simonton. the wife of the mur- dered man, were indicted for the killing and remained only a short time in jail when bail was granted. The case has been repeatedly continued. and went ta trial for the first time yesterday.
 A severance of the cases was permit. ted and the women are to be tried sep. arately, Chaney's case being set for to. morrow forenoon.
 Big Jim" Simonton lived in Union town and owned property at that place This property was the cause of the tragedy for which the Simonton women are on trial. Jim came to Selma ta January, 1903, and asked his wife te sign a deed either to sell or mortgage the property.
 Policeman Grimm was attracted to the home of the women on Mitchell Street by screams, and on reaching the house found Big Jim, on the steps with five serious stabs, which resulted in his death. The man was uncon- scious when the officer reached him, and the testimony was entirely in the hands of the two women.
 On the, night of the killing, the wo- men after reaching police headquar. ters. told the officer the following story about the killing: Chaney said that her husband had come home that. night and wanted to sell their property iu Uniontown. but she fiatly refused to consent to the sale. A quarrel ensued, and Jim undressed and went to bed, after removing a cork from a bottle of pickles, leaving his knife on the man. tie. She claims that she had a skillet on the fire boiling some water and that her husband became so enraged In his discussion that he jumped out of bed, seized the skillet and struck her on the head. She in turn grabbed the knife from the mantle and cut him
 Chaney's daughter, Matte, was the only eyewitness to the tragedy, and her mother claims that her daughter begged her father not to strike her. After cutting her husband, the woman ran to the door and called the police, her husband following her to the steps, where Policeman Grimm found him.
 There was some doubt as to whether the stabs, which. numbered five, were inflicted by the woman. and there was talk of a second man being in the trag. edy, who on coming to the house and finding the man in bed, had wrecked vengeance.
 Jim Simonton was a saloon keeper iu Selma prior to going to Uniontown.
 The case was given to the jury this afternoon.

Strike Drass Along.

Notwithstanding the claim of the furnace operators that their coal pro- auction is on the increase, the union miners out on strike claim that their men are remaining firm and will keen up the strike. The district organiza- ton officials are sending out provisions Tor their men who are idle. Fourteen hundred bushels of Irish potatoes were consumed last week. besides $50 bar rels of flour and other goods. The third week in August the strikers consumed in addition to flour. sugar, coffee and other provisions. three car loads of cabbage. The purchasing agent is kept busy as something over 1000 men must be supplied

ADVANCE IN PIG IRON NO. FOUNDRY NOW QUOTED AT
 $40 A TON. Republic Iron and Steel Company VIII start Up It's Rolling Mills
 and the Union Will Be Recognized.

Birmingham, Oct. 4-(special. )- Announcement was made today that No. foundry pig iron has advanced 50 cents per ton and is now quoted at Sl0 per ton. One of the smaller con cerns sold two car loads of the iron at the new price today. The larger manu- facturers have telegraphed their sales agents not to sell any more iron at old prices before advising with the gen. erai offices of the company. There is good demand for iron and indications point to another advance in quotations within another fortnight.
 The Republic Iron and Steel Company will start up it's Birmingham rolling mills Monday next. Fires will be placed in several of the furnaces in the plant tomorrow to dry out. The old pudding department, 12 and Is inch bar mills and s-inch bar mill, will be started up on double turn. Seven hun dred men will be given employment. Rolling mill men from all sections of the district are hocking back to the city on the report that the mills will resume. The members of the Amalga- mated Association of Iron and Steel Workers will be given the work.
 The Tennessee Coal, Irron and Rail- road Company Is working It's Bessemer rolling mills with non-union labor. The expectations were that the Birmingham mills would not recognize the union when they resumed operations, but that the "open shop" policy would prevail.
 There Is good demand for finished iron and steel, 1t is reported, and the Gate City rolling mills, belonging to the Republic Company, may be started up.

STAGE LIGHTS.
Their Various Uses and the N0moi
by Which They Are known.

Their Various Uses and the Names
by Which They Are known.
Lights play an important part on
the stage of the modern theater, and
they have many uses. The spot light,
for instance, is employed to cast cir
Gle of light upon the stage where sin
gle person is to be brought into espe-
cial prominence. 1t consists of an arc
electric light inclosed in a cylindrical
hood about the diameter of stove
pipe and provided at the open end
with a condenser lens for the purpose
of concentrating the rays upon a small
area.
A food light is an arc in a rectangu-
to serve as reflector. 1t is supposed
to flood the stage with light; hence its
name.
Bunch lights are clusters Of gas or
incandescent lights either arranged
within a reflector or exposed naked.
They are used back of a scene behind
doorways, where light Is needed off
the stage to represent the illumina-
ton of that part Of a dwelling not
shown. For the same purpose strip"
lights are used-rows of incandescent
lights fastened to strip of wood pro-
vided with a hook, by which it may
be hung to the back Of scene when
required.
"Side" lights are incandescent lights
arranged on either side of the prosce-
mum arch. Sometimes they are built
within the arch or they are arranged
to be swung outward when the cur
tain is raised.
The footlights are familiar to all,
and the border" lights are those hung
over the stage directly above the seen
cry. shutting off the top of the stage.
These are arranged in a trough like an
inverted "U' to cast their light dow n
upon the stage. These are practically
all of the lights used upon the stage of
house. though magic lanterns are
employed at times for the stimulation
of water effects. moonlight ripples and
lightning. The old fashioned calcium,
using the oxyhydrogen gas, is so sell
dom employed in the modern theater
as to call for no comment.
