Miracles of an Indiana Evangelist
kxerted at Her Revlvals.

Miracles of an Indiana Evangelist
kxerted at Her Revlvals.
MUNCIE, md, Dec. 14.-For the past
three weeks Mrs. Maria B. Woodwork, the
noted evangelist, has been conducting a
revival In this city. Last evening Miss
Ruth Hughes, aged II years, joined in the
services, and during the excitement went
into trance about 9 O'Clock. The young
lady lay in o rigid state. without any seern-
ing circulation and suppressed breathing, all
night. not moving any part of the body
except a portion Of the fingers of one
hand.
At o'clock this evening there had been
no change in her condition, making twenty
one hours In which she had been unconscious
to all surroundings and perfectly helpless.
According to Mrs. Woodworth's instructions
the girl is kent at the church and no physi-
clans are allowed TO examine her physical
condition, although several called this
afternoon to do so.
On last Monday Mrs William Melton, an
estimAble lady, who has been an invalid for
five years, greater part OF the time being
unable TO walk. was conveyed to the church
that she might experience some of the heal
ing powers that the celebrated evangelist is
supposed 10 possess. Mrs. Melton had been
at the church but short time until she
was hypnotized, and after considerable
praying and appealing to him who doeth all
things well, she arose without assistance
and walked about the church with ease.
Since returning home Mrs. Melton does her
own work, and has called on her neighbors
for the first time since she was taken sick.

SORGHUM SUGAR.
An Improved Process for Its Extrac-
ton Discovered.

An Improved Process for Its Extrac-
~, lion Discovered.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.-The annual re-
port of the chief of the chemical division Of
the agricultural department contains an
account of the process recently perfected at
the department as a result of experiments
in the chemical laboratory with reference
to the manufacture of sorghum sugar The
chemist claims a substantial increase in the
yield OF sugar per thousand gallons
of juice of from an average OF about 10, 900
pounds to an average Of over 81 1877, at an
increase of cost of production of $84 for
alehohol, which enters into the new process.
SOLUTION OF A PROBLEM.
The report recites some of the various diff
cultles hitherto found in economic manu-
facture of sugar from sorghum, and indi,
Gates that the solution Of the question was
to be found in some process which would
separate as nearly as possible the gummy
amorphous bodies from the Juice without
precipItating the sugar. The known prop
erty OF alcohol to produce precipitation in
juice was made use of in further study of
this problem.
SOURCE OF ALL THE DIFFICULTIES.
The difficulties, says the report, which
have been encountered in the manufact-
uring of sugar from sorghum juices have
been solely que to the presence of these
gums. Not only has the removal of the
gums been effected by the process evolved
during these experiments, but it has been
shown that this can be effected at a cost
comparatively trifiing by comparison with
the results.

trlbated. no large amount being held by any
creditor. The trustee was directed to
apply to the court for permission TO con-
unue the business, for which, it was said,
sufficient money could be obtained without

pointed, consisting of Douglas H. Thomas.

Minnie's father. One of Minnie's duties was

Finally he consented, rather than to go to
jail and with the aid of an interpreter the
