After a separation of 80 years,
Mrs. Minnie Hern, of Pryor Creek,
1. T., has ascertained through May
or Seth Low of New York that her
father, Col. James B. Mulligan,
whom she has long mourned az
dead, is alive and resident of that
city. He was colonel of a federal
regement which was stationed at
Fort Smith at the close of the war.
He was married there and shortly
after Mrs. Hern's birth was ordered
with his regiment to the East. He
resigned from the army on his ar
rival in New York, and from that
day until the receipt of Mrs. Hern's
letter no trace of him could be
found. A number of years ago q
thorough serch was made for him
by his wife, aud upon receiving
what was considered absolute proof
of his death, she remarked and has
since died. The daughter, Mrs
Hern, always doubted the father'e
death. Father and daughter will
soon be reunited.

SIX HEARINGS
Given on Various Bills by
House Committees Today.

There were six hearings at the State
House. today, five being given by the
house judiciary committee and one by the
house committee on corporations. The
latter proved OF little Importance and OF
a quiet nature, only one person. Charles
M. Whitaker. appearing and favoring in
brief remarks the bill to incorporate the
Pascoag Water company. An adjourned
hearing Will be given on Tuesday next.
The Newport delegation appeared before
the judiciary committee and advocated
the repeal OF the police commission bill
Favorable arguments were also made
before the same committee by advocates
Of good roads on the bill introduced in
the house by Representative Bowen Of
Providence. The gentlemen who made
favorable remarks were Senator Edwards
OF Exeter Civil Engineer Latham and
Highway Surveyor Conley of Cranston.
There was no opposition.
The fourth hearing was on the bill pro-
viding a police commission for the town
of Tiverton. There were two citizens of
that town-Messrs. Lawton and Frost
who spoke briefly. urging passage OF the
measure. There are nearly 30 licenses
now In operation within a half-mile ra-
diuS about one To every 30 Inhabitants.
grara As result Tysrton Is the dumping Gq
orderly persons from Fall River. who
seek the opportunity OF going there TO get
intoxicated. The retail liquor license In
Fall River costs $500 and they have a
police board, who endeavor 20 enforce the
law In Tiverton the license costs only
5000. and no discrimination Is made but
LICENCES granted broadcast. The creation
of the Tiverton police commission would.
I'm their opinion, remove the question of a
police chief to enforce the law from poll
