IN CENTRAL FALLS.
A Missing Heir Found in
Maine.
AN AGREEABLE SURPRISE.
Sunday Scenes in the Busy Village.
Interesting Notes.

Some time ago the TRIBUNE mentioned
the fact that William Rhodes had re-
ceived notice from Australia that by the
death of brother, who was a Catholic
clergyman in that foreign country, he had
become heir to much money. The news
was received by him In a most welcome
manner as he was In hard luck and at
work weaving. He had not heard from
his brother for many years. At the time
the news came he was boarding with
Thomas II. Ready, at the corner of Broad
and Cowden streets. He was then en-
ployed at the mill of the United State Cot
ton Company. Mr.. Ready placed the case
I'm the hands of Attorney at.Law John
Il. doldsworthy, who at once began the
proper proceedings and sent papers OF
Identification. for the fortunate weaver.
Matters worked slowly and during the
last week the long looked for
papers arrived. Ready spent few days
in search of his boarder, who few weeks
ago left him and went to look up work.
Tom found him at Berwick, Me-, where
more good news was told him. He signed
the papers and Tom returned home. The
papers have been forwarded and now
Rhodes is anxiously awaiting the arrival
of the sum. He is not In the best of
health and is about IS years of age. He
has seen many hare lines and the amount
will be gladly received by him.
A Double Surprise.
There Is family In this village who re-
ceived yesterday a double surprise and
which came In. the form of new arrivals.
The parties are poor but respectable peo-
pie, and have resided here for number
of years, About o'clock in the morning
there arrived a little stranger, who, at
this writing, is doing we'll. Its mother
Is daughter In the family and has been
married five years. About o'clock In
the evening stranger entered the yard
and soon found his way into the home
where the newly born infant was. None
knew him until a laugh was given
when 1t was ascertained that he
was supposed lost son who
Joined the navy at the time OF
the war and had not been heard from
In many years. He was then a thin,
sicklv looking lad, but now strong In the
| full vigor of life and has reached the age
Of 43 years. For several years since the
war he has resided in the West Indies.
| He will remain here about two months.
| There was jubilee at that home In honor
Of the two arrivals. The Oldest of the two
is named Morris and many of the older
residents will remember him.
An Autumn Day.
Truly Sunday was a typical Autumn day
and much pleasure derived by the peo-
pie of this village, who observed the day
In their usual way. The early services at
the various churches were largely at
tended and Fall clothing was noticed in
substitution for the muslin wore by the
ladies, while suits of the conventional
black order took the place of Summer APP
parel. Pastors found their fiocks after the
heated term and congratulations were In
order. Livery business was fair and sew
erai took their last outing at the seashore.
The streets presented a lively appear
walk to some favorite spot, the majority
visiting the Jenks park, where addi-
tions are being made continually.
In the eastern district Sunday drunk
epness has greatly decreased and the
liquor dealers are inclined to obey the law,
that Is, the greater part of them. Central
Falls has some honorable men In the bus
iness who are reliable citizens and who
live up to the law without police coaching,
while others who have ham, bone pork
pie license, abuse such which the Council
should take measures to stop at once.
They know of such violation of the law.
A legitimate place of business Is made to
suffer by the general public on account Of
these sham places whose facilities for serv-
ing customers with what their licenses
| ask for is like obtaining good crop In
desert.
The Bowery. the Bowery.
The bowery turned out victims Ia the
police court Sunday morning, and those
who saw the cases report 1t as disgraceful
I'm the extreme. At quite late hour Sat-
urdsy night the police were notified that
a middle aged woman was lying near one
Of the houses In a nude condition beastly
| drunk. She was taken to the police sta
ton In that condition. Sunday morning
clothes were brought her to make a pre-
sentable appearance In court where she was
| fined & and costs. She remained all day
| i'm n cell and went to Cranston today.
Two young men were In that locality
| using indecent language and intoxicated.
| I hey raised a row and Officers Walch and
| Sherman took them to the station. They
were a hard sight as they were arraigned
| yesterday morning and fined $2 and costs.
| They were sent over. Five others for be-
ing drunk were given the same fine.
