Million to Thief Catcher?

New York, Dec. 19.-William Loeb,
jr., collector Of the port Of New York,
has approved the claim of Richard
Parr, the deputy collector and origi-
nal informer in the sugar frauds, to
half of the 81, 1876, 4S0 paid into the
United States Treasury by the Amer
lean Sugar Refining Company as re-
stitution FOR duties evaded by under
weighing. According to the statutes
regulating such awards, Parr will re-
ceive mot exceeding in amount one
half of the net proceeds"
Mr.. Loeb approved the claim only
after a thorough investigation by
Harrison Osborne, solicitor of the
customs. He held that the claim was
valid because Parr discovered a steel
spring which was used by the COM
pany's checkers to influence the
weight of draughts of sugar adverse
ly. This laid bare the scheme to de-
fraud, and it was due to the evidence
obtained as the consequence of this
discovery that the jury in the civil
suit against the company last spring
gave a verdict Of guilty, which was
followed by the paying of the penalty,
$135. 1852 and the restitution Of 2
million dollars following.

no doubt of proper party support in

REV. VERMIlLl0N
 ON 'CODLINfSS'
Declares That Man Must Either be d Follower of Christ or His Enemy Several Services Announced for Sunday.

During the coming week Rev. Yer million, who is conducting a revival meeting at the Ohio Street Baptist church, will hold meetings each eve ming at [ o'clock Services will be held tonight at 7:30 and tomorrow 1 morning at II. A men meeting will be a feature of Sundays services at 3:30 D. m., with service at night at '7:30.
 The theme of Rev. Vermillion's ser mon last night was The Mystery of Godliness. Among other things he said the church is no place for peo- pie who are not converted, but that there are good many in the church who seem to be only half converted He said that some men profess not to do anything they cannot understand and will not accept salvation because they cannot understand it. He argued that these same men do use many things which they do not understand, things which are just as hard to un- derstand as the plan of salvation Rev. Vermillion explained that Chris. died and made the atonement for man and that he satisfied the demands oe Gods law; that Christ vindicated by the spirit of God, which is wooing men into salvation and that the an- gels acknowledge Christ as the savior, why should men hesitate? He cited many scriptures substantiating the principles brought out in his sernlo.,, his idea being to show that it is not a weakness on the part of any man 10 follow the Lord Jesus Christ as some are disposed to think, but that many of the strongest men the world has ever produced have been his followers. He declared that man must be fol- lower of Christ or his enemy At the of the service several went forward for prayer and two additions were recorded for the church.

The Yankee Robinson shows turned several thousand people away at both performances at Rutherford place in this city yesterday. The shows ar by the noon hour, when the street parade was to be given, the downtown streets were uncomfortably crowded with visitors and home people The parade was delayed nearly an hour owing to disagreement between the officials and the show management as to the license fee for paradng and performances. The management threatened to pull their tents down and move on without giving a per- formance, if the $100 fee for each performance and $100 for the street parade was not reduced or some con- sessions were not made. They were told that they had to comply with the city ordinances and finally yielded. At the afternoon performance fully two thousand people were unable 70 get into the tents, the doors being closed shortly after 2 o'clock. Last night at least four thousand people, mostly negroes, were not accommoda ted, the tent being filled before eight o'clock. The show brought many vis- itors to the city and the merchants enjoyed rush of business throughout the day.

Our Water Front.

The article on "Our Fine Boating
Facilities" published In last weeks
Courier has attracted no little atten-
ton among those who love boating.
and that other enterprising class who
feel the Importance of doing every-
thing possible to make Grants Pass
more attractive. Steps have already
been taken to organize boat club
and provide canoes, barges and gaso-
line launches, and. incidentally. to
take the necessary steps to have the
distractions to navigation removed
SO that boats may be run up to the
Ament dam.
Experts who have had large ex-
perience along such water courses
say that It will be comparatively
inexpensive to open the way TO the
dam, and those who are Interested
In developing opportunities for this
Kind OF sport say that II will be easy
to provide the necessary funds TO re-
move the rocks so as TO make boat
ing channel six miles In length from
the bridge to the dam and return. It
is proposed to build a small dock
Just above the bridge and boat
house at some point whore II VIII be
safe This enterprise for the benefit
OF the city, II Is expected, will play
a conspicuous part IN our prosperity
by becoming an important attraction
for those who Ike boating and water
sports. The boat club can be organ
tied and carried forward at small
oXponse and number Of our citizens
have already slgnfled their willing
ness TO become members Of the asso-
citation The only thing needed TO
make success rs prompt action. Our
wator front Is too important 10 allow
II TO be longer neglected. Remember
It VIII give our city n great advan-
tage as place OF residence, and viii
bring to MS hundreds OF people who
are fond OF boating. Our water
front can be made an attraction
worthy OF n much larger city than
Grants Pass.
