THE wooDwoRTH MEETINGS.
Great Excitement Over the Alleged Cure of
n Confirmed Grippe

Confirmed Grippe.
ANDERSON, Dec. 30.-[Special THE ex-
element and interest at the Woodwork
meetings continue with undated interest.
The church is packed at all the services,
both afternoon and evening. The large
audience was wrought up TO the highest
pitch OF excitement today by the alleged
cure of q confirmed cripple. The party
alleged to be cured IS Mrs. Hiram Baxter,
an old lady living in a log hut near the
Midland railroad. She is perhaps sixty
five years oil aye and has been afflicted for
years with rheumatism. Two years =
while walking along the st Gets she was
run over by a careless bicyclist and badly
injured. Since that time she has been
unable to walk except by the aid Of
crutches, She is a member OF the church
OF God and has been regarded as a pious,
God fearing woman. Yesterday she hob
bed to the church upon her crutches
to attend the afternoon services.
She went. straightway to the
altar and kneeled inside the low
railing that surrounds the rostrum. She
began to pray fervently to the Lord to re-
move her physical trouble and restore her
to health. For a half hour she pleaded
with the Supreme One, and in these ORR
sons was joined by Mrs. Woodwork.
During the prayer Mrs. Woodwork knelt
by the side of the afflicted woman, and,
pacing her hands upon her limbs, stroked
them gently: then rising to her feet, held
forth her hands over the PROSTATE form OF
Mrs. Baxter, and in a loud voice ex-
claimed: an the name OF Jesus of Naz-
areth, arise and walk" No sooner had
the words been pronounced than Mrs.
Baxter, with a vii /, delirious shout OF
Joy, arose and leaped over the railing hat
surrounds the rOsirum. She bounded
through the aisles of the church, singing
and shouting in her gratitude over tine re-
markable results that she firmly believes
the Lord wrought for her.
The utmost excitement prevailed in the
audience. Mrs. Baxter was the center of
attraction, and. as she walked around the
house apparently as sound in limb as a
maiden, the people marveled and gaZed at
her awe-stricken. They had seen her,
crippled and BEN with disease, enter the
door of the church wa king upon her
crutches. At the conclusion of the SER
vices she walked home, leaving her
clutches in the church. Hundreds of peo-
pie who witnessed the remarkable affair
can testify to the truthfulness of it.

IN MEMORY OF JUDGE MITCHELL.

Up at Newport-A Big 0IortgaSe-Bur-
glary-Death-Minor state Items.

GOSHEN, Jan. Especial. Impressive
services were held here today at the
o~pera-house In memory of the late Chief
Justice Mitchell of the supreme court OF
Indiana. A fervent and beautiful prayer
was offered by the Rev. DIR. Nannuys.
Many of the audience were visibly affected
and fearful eyes were plentiful. Some OF
those present had been befriended by The
deceased. Judge Elliott was the most
prominent speaker OF the occasion, and he
delivered a very impressive and touching
address. He referred to him as a very
close and lear friend and said that it was
difficult to comprehend at first why such
a man should be stricken down in the
very prime OF life and in the midst of a
useful and brilliant career, and that even
now he could not understand why God
thought il best. He was an upright and
pure Judge, and his example could only
work good among his fellow creatures.
He was a most merciful judge, alth ugh
never departingfrom the most rigid lines of
Justice and duty. The law and his position
were, so far as he could influence them,
of his own selection, and in them he was
content. although frequently solicited to
step up higher into more ambitious and
moro lucrative positions. He was an ex-
ceediDgly close student, and sought those
productions that had been written on the
highest plane of right and justice, having
no ambition to inform himse.f concerning
the pettiIOgging methods OF less ambitious
attorneys, His ability as a jurist is dem
onstrated in his decisions. which are a.
ready widely read and quoted, and it is
certain that as the years roll by they will
grow inc yet more prominence. Judge
Elliott dweit at length upon Judge Mitch
ellis purity as a Judge, and the honor in
which he was held throughout the state.
Many things, Judge Elliott said, struggled
IN his heart for utterance in respect of
him as a friend, but which he was unable
70 fit into proper language at the time.
His memoir of Judge Mitchell in this
connection Was one OF the most sacred
that he possessed of anyone.
The Hon.. II. ID. Wilson of Goshen spoke
OF Judge Mitchell as a citizen and a
soldier, referring eloquently to his patri-
otism and his loyalty to both state and
nation.
The Rev. DIR. Clarke Skinner of South
Bend concluded by speaking OF the de-
ceased as a Christian gentleman in whom
had dwelt charity, goodness and purity Of
thought.
Altogether, the memorial services were
The most impressive ever witnessed in this
city.
