He accosted the man nnd found that four chickens were In his possession. As he could not give any satisfactory explanation for his having them, ho was taken to the Central police sta tion, wheie It tiansplred that he was William Wall, who four eais ago es caped fiom tho county jail whilo bely ing ii sentence there for the same of fense of chicken stealing, he then liv ing near Tunkhannoek. Wall was sent to the countv Jail for six months, and, after seivlng about two months In an exemplary manner, was given considerable fieedom uiound tho yuid, doing small jobs for the warden and making himself generally useful. Owing tc this comparative liberty al lowed him, he had time and opporu nlty to fashion together a rurV ladder made out of clothes lines, pieces of leather and small boards and man aged to scale the walls and make his escape and was ai rested two days later. Thiee extra months were added to his term of lmpilsonment for this escapade. In police court yesteiday morning he said that he was now llvinc tit Moscow. He was unable to give any plausible explanation of hl.s possession of the chickens and It was decided to hold him In custody until tho owner ship of the fowl Is established.

The fit st speaker was James How man, adjutant of Company H, Sixth Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, who was called upon to give I.Ibby prison memories. Tho stories with which he spiced the leeltal vveie of the Hist quality and well told. One of them was especially provocative of applause nnd laughter. It was this, bi Icily told: A member of his company just liber ated fiom Llbb arrived in Washing ton and, hastening to a store, inquired for a ceitnln insect powder that was reputed to be particularly efllcaclous In tho etei initiation of gray-backs. "How much Is It?" ho luqulted from the druggist. "Ten tents an ounce," replied the diugglst, "and tin ounce will kill a million of them." "All light, give me live pounds," said the pilsoner. Rcfciilng to Chaplain MeCabc's lcr tuio on "The Blight Hide of Llbby Pilson," Picsldint Latluop said he was puzzled to know whine the rev et end gentleman got matter enough on that subject to make up a lecture. There was oly one blight side to Llb by that ho saw, and that was the out side. O. A. Parsons, of 'Wllkcs-Barre, who was a major In Company D. Sixty-first Pennsylvania volttnteezs, told ot nn en counter with Mosby and Ids men, and several other thrilling incidents of his army life. Our cavalry, he said, couM no more catch Mosby than an ordin ary dog could catch a Western jack rabbit. "Salisbury" was the subject of an in teiestlng address by P II. Campbell, also of Wllkes-Barre, who was one of tho few who spent any great length of time In that pestilential pen and came out unscathed. Those who did pull through, lie said, succeeded only by a constant exercise of1 stiatogy. In his opinion tho policy of the Confederate government In the conduct of its prls ons was to exterminate tho prison er? as quickly and effectually ns they could As he put it, "It was a studied system of deliberate, premeditated, cold-blooded murder." OTHER ADDRESSES. "Recollections of Belle Isle," wore given bv Halsey Lathrop; Dr. C. II. Fisher told Intel esllngly of the experi ences of an at my suigeon; Colonel E. H.

Tluo' the Rye," were sung by MUs iMary Edwaids, to a musical accompaniment of Bauei's orchestra, and pantomime accompani ment bv n class of six young gill pupils of Miss Cora Gilllin, pioved a most pleasing fertuio ot the pro giamme. The sextetto was composed of Misses Wllhelmlna Griffin, Leon Farnham, Clare Slocum, Lulu Slmms, Lillian Mon Ih and Mamie Evans. In the flist number they wore diesses of the national coitus, with military capes Mid campaign hats. Jaunty summer costumes were worn in the second number. Miss Griffin later en teitalned with an artistic lendltlon ot "Old G!or " The audience showed, by unstlnteA applause, Its thorough appreciation ot the remarkable peiformance of th3 Hann chlldien, Ralph and Roy, aged 7 and 9 e.us respectively, who playel most cleveily a number of difficult se lections on the violin and mandolin. Miss Beatrice Morris iccelved a well merited ictall for her letitation ot "Since that Boy of Mine Came Batk." It falily convulsed tho "vets." The stoiy Is a complaint fiom a civil war vitoi.in that no matter how big a whopper he tells of his expeilences in the sixties, Ills boy just returned from Cuba, goes lilm one better.
