Aa iDtkotisitlo sal Jslly Oathsrlif ef the Harass How the Day Was ljnt" lacldtats of Frlioa Life. The first day of the reunion of the 1111 uols association of ex Prisoners of War opened with delightful but chilly weather.

During the forenoon the veterans cont uienced coming In, and, upon rcg lstering, were given appropriately In scribed silk badges. About sixty bad arrived up to noon, and passed the time In looking about tho city. Many who had never aeen llloomlngtoii before were very much phased with the city. Meanwhile the local members, assisted by members of the A. were busy preparing for the vis itors.

Dishes were placed on the tables at the dining room, and the ladii-a were busy arranging food and receiving It, The city had been to a certain extent deco rated with flags and bunting, the newspaper ofllccs, saloons and stores hanging out flags. Shortly before 12 tho prisoners wended their wsv toward the new Moore building ou North Center street, where dinner was served ulitll it oclock. following dinner the crowd went to Itmk Hall, where the ex erclses of the day were advertised to colli' meiice at ti. ArTKHXOON MKRTINO, At the rink from 3 to the men stood In small squads relating adventure, shak ing nanus coruiaiiy aim uraemia; oni ac quaintances. The afternoon trains brought many more and the secretary was kept busy the new arrivals.

I'auiD chairs had been provided and a huge Hag was hung behind the platform at the north end of the nsn. it was near 4 clock when President Ivorv 11. Pike called the comrades loonier, The eonirreeallon sang "America" under the leadersliin of K. Blue, and Hey. li.

Miner ntlered a fervent praver. Mr. Pike then Introduced Congressman Howell, who delivered an address of welcome on oetian of the citizens of UloomlngUin. His re- nmrks wen. ant and he held the attention of all.

The response was by Holier Patten, of Annum, it was lun oi wu anu iook immensely. The exercises over, adjourn' nient was bad for supper. STJVAV SHOTS. Mr. Harrv F.

Hevmour. a member of the Thompson theater company, now playing here, yesterday accosted a Pamta (iitii'il reiHirter In front of tlie dining hall and asked Inm what was going on. 1 lie reiKirter informed him and the actor said Why, I ought to be with theui." Subse quent inquiry developed the fact that he was second lieutenant of Company Third Ohio infantry, and that he was raptured at Home, by Gen. Forrest. He was con- lined In Libhy five months and helped Col.

Stri'Wht and others dnf the tunnel by which seven men esraiied. The men went out our at a time, and allowed ten minutes Inter vening between the escaieof each man and his lollower. Seymour's number was eight, ml he was about to enter the hole when the guards discovered the skate of things. He therefore larked a few moments only of liberty, but missed it. He registered, was ven a badge aud met one or two from bis old regiment.

Among those here Is Samuel J. M. Andrews, ot Edgerwood, Elllngliain county. He Is secretary of tlie southern Illinois As sociation of ex-Prisoners of War. One hundred and seventy-five of this association weie present at the last meeting In Cen tral ia.

One of the most interesting meniDers oi the associat ion is Is tac Gaskin, a colored man. who lives ill Surilitttield, He was a slave In Mississippi but escapod during the war and got to Kankakee, j.atcr ne enlisted In a colored regiment In Chi cago and was taken prisoner bi i tersourg, va. lie was in auueimmvnie, Danville and Libby and being colored was subjected to severe treatment, such as belug stabbed with the bayonets, shot and knocked down with the butt ot a gun. The last performance nearly cost him his life and he was severely lniured. He draws a pension of $13 per month, is unusually well educated and his memoirs were listened to yesterday with pleasure by bis white associates.

Corporal M. A. Vaughn, of Smithboro. Bond county, was fourteen months in Camp Tyler prison in Texas. One day a steer was killed loriotnt ana ne ooiaiuru one oi the horns, an extra one both in size and shape, lie polished It and with an ordinary penknife carved his name and other wordings on It and otherwise embellished it.

He has made a powder horn of it aud has it with him. J. P. Liby, of Itooerts. who tunneieo nut Cahaba prison, has with him a picture ot the prison.

It was originally drawn on a rubber blanket, with chalk and later the holograph winch no lias was taken or n. has been the sublect of considerable gazing, especially by outsiders, many of Whom aiieuueu me rnia. jeswiuuy. EVENING JIEETI.VO. The rink was crowded last evening, the audience being made up of many citizens.

Gen. C. W. Pavey, of Mt. Vernon, delivered an address, speaking for about three-quarters of an hour.

Gen. Pavey has seen twenty months of prison life, being one of the few who outrank A. T. Ives' sixteen-month record. His address abounded In touching Incidents and ended with a glowing tribute to the women of America.

He also gave credit to the ladies of this city and the people generally ior uieir nearly wel come. tne sneecn me coioreti lee club sang, anu at us cios- inr Just re li. A. mil Hieppeu forward and on behalf of the colored people of Illinois presented a laurel wreath ot beautiful flowers to the veterans. On the wreath were the dates "ltsnj- ana luw- neatly made of flowers.

Senator Hill preceded the presentation witli a short address, and recalled incidents in history where battle-scarred veterans had been given laurel wreaths, incidentally referring to the fact that he presented one to uen. Lirant in tins city when tlie old commander was returning from his trip around the world. Mr. Hill appeared In full evening dress, with a magnificent frilled shirt front, and presented a line appearance. He was a good example of the progress of tho race, lilierated bv the very men to whom he pre sented the wreath.

The latter Dart of the evening was taken up by short impromptu speeches. TODAY PROGRAMME. Breakfast from 7 to Visit to Soldiers' Orphans' Home 0 a. m. Dinner from 12 to Music (i.

RATIONS, The Inviting meals were, by no means, an unimportant feature of the days enjoyment to the men, whose memory vividly recalls the days when a moldy cracker or a bit ot uir Dread rormeo meir oniy omy nounsa- ment. Many times during the meals yesterday were repeated the words: "This Is not much like Libby food, Is it;" or "This don't remind us much of Auilersonville, I tell you;" and, we think, the old soldiers enjoyed their tempting viands the more for the remembrance of that wretched "long airo." The dining-room was decorated with flags, wreaths and pictures, among the Intter. two vivid war pictures, a fine portrait of Gen. Logan and wife, also portraits of "Grant and Garfield, furnished tor decoration by the Pantaouaph. At the bountitully spread tables seats for 1N0 had been placed: not all of which were filled at dinner, but bv supper time fully 2W) soldiers and friends were served.

There is hardly anything that is good to eat and easy to digest that the ladies did not set before their guests.
