WANTED TO RETURN TO PORT
LAND.
How Charles Moore Tried to Break
out of.State Prison.

The old residents of Portland who are
away all want to come back when they can.
II is reported from State Prison that not
long ago a prisoner named Charles Moore,
committed from Portland for assault and
battery, put in year ago, was found bour-
ing into his cell wall with bit. Deputy
Warden Northy had been searching his cell
for several weeks, suspecting from the fell
lows manner that something was in the wind.
This discovery led to a further search, which
disclosed a set of tools hidden in the water
closet, consisting Of powerful wrench
made from an old bench vice, so arranged as
to enable the wielder to bring terrible
pressure to bear against any object such as
prying stones of wall, pressing bars apart
and the like. with other tools. This imple-
ment Moore had fashioned with saw made
from knife blade. BE carried the heavy
iron and his tools back and forward from
the cell to the workshop concealed under his
clothing. He worked at night in his cell,
and, of course, when this cell was searched
while lie was absent, nothing was found, as
he carried them off to the shop each day.
The vice from which the pry or wrench was
made was two inches in diameter, and when
one thinks of the very primitive tools at
command some idea may be gained of the
magnitude Of the work accomplished.

icatory exercises at their new headquarters,

auxiliary the Shepley Ladies' Aid Society.
The hall extends from Middle street to Tenn
pie street and is furnished in very appro-
pirate manner. ThelTemple street end has
been partitioned off for,an anteroom. The
work OF furnishing this hall has been largely
due to the personal efforts of the members of
the Camp and the Ladies' Aid Society. Past
Colonel Waldo II. Perry, chairman called
upon Fred FL. Cobb, who, in behalf of the
hall furnishing committee made brief re-
port OF work. and presented the keys of the
hall to Capt. Robert L.. Whitcomb, who in
his usual happy and impressive manner, ex-
pressed thanks to the committee for the eff
cient manner in which they had performed
their duty in making for the Camp a new
"home," also welcoming the many friends
who were present
Chairman Perry next called upon Mayor
Melcher, who, after very interest
ing remarks was followed by Lieut.. Col. OF
the Maine Division S. of V. Andrew c..
Cloudman and Capt. j. w. Phinney of Wade
Camp, Mrs. Franks. Beal. vice president Of
the Ladies' Aid Society; Comrade Storer S.
Knight and Commander r. G. Berry of Bos-
worth Post; Mrs. S. w. Fletcher, of Bos-
worth Relief Corps; Comrades Fl. R. Sar-
gent, A. Welch. A. M. Sawyer and Edwin
9. Milliken of Bosworth Post; Past Col.
Augustus S. Libby of Shepley Camp, Mrs.
]. F. A. Norton, secretary of Thatcher Re
lief Corps. q
The exercises closed by singing America
and the Sons returned TO their homes re-
joicing that at last they had within their
grasp that which they had so long wanted
"a home of their own" and feeling a new
impulse to press onward and carry out tn,
noble principles Of their order.

The Montreal EXPRESS,

Mr.. FL. 81. Kicker furnishes the PRESS
some additional particulars concerning the
Montreal Express of which the Hon. Will
liam Goold wrote so entertainingly yester-
day. Mr.. Ricker's father, Albert Kicker,
had charge of the relay of horses at Poland
Springs. AS soon as the success of the Hal
flax Expedition was signalled messenger
started for Bethel without waiting the YES
sells arrival. and by the time the vessel
touched the wharf he was far on his way.
The full name of Mr.. Waterhouse who was
one of the messengers was Godfrey GrosveD:
or Waterhouse. Subsequently he was a con-
ductor on the Grand Trunk and afterward
kept hotel at Island Pond. A Mechanic
Falls rhymester celebrated the achievement
In verse. Mr.. Kicker remembers two lines
which ran as follows:
Hobbs, Bridge and Waterhouse, faithful and
true,
To Montreal did put her through.
The verses were distinguished much more
for enthusiasm than for poetic sentiment.

BOSTON & MAINE AND EASTERN.
The Boston Traveller says that the Boston
u Maine and Eastern Railroads consolida-
tion project is fastl getting into shape for
presentation to theStQekholders, and is more
than likely to come up as part of the bust
ness of the annual meeting. The plan likely
to be adopted is this:
Double up the $7.0OOOoO of Boston &
Maine stock, and increase the Eastern stock
capital stock of $4,000, 900, on which it is
proposed to pay per cent, which is equiv
alent to $1,000,000. or exactly the same
amount that it takes now to pay 10 per cent
on the Boston & Maine road and per cent
on the Eastern. That this can readily be
fiscal year ending September 80, 1889, the
Boston 81 Maine has actually earned over
and above all charges fully ST., 100000.

The Policy Men.

Scully and Dimmock, the two men arrest
ed for selling Ipolicy tickets, were brought
yesterday morning before the municipal
court. Hon. G. F. Libby appeared as their
counsel and decided to waive hearing. He
asked that the amount of bail be fixed within
the ability of the prisoners to obtain. He
stated to the court that when the two men
came here they were advised that they would
violate no law of the State in selling these
policy tickets. When they were notified
that they must stop, they had no intention
of continuing the business. Judge Gould
fixed the bail at $500 each, and they gave
sureties to that amount for their appearance

TO the Editor of the Press:
Here is another translation of the Latin
poem in your issue of Wednesday:
While three boys in early springtime
Upon the ice were standing,
Alasl too sad 1t so transpired
That they never came to landing.
Had they crossed to terra tirma
Or remained upon mound,
1 am almost certain that not then
Would they ever have been drowned.
For what were they born, and why are they not?
o Listen We to me!
Your boys keep safe at home
That abroad they safe may be. ii.
