One Who Stole the Burden
Jewels Is on Ocean.
Will Be Arrested by Scotland

Formerly Employed in the House

New YORK, April 16.-The Herald says
that the Burden diamond robbery mys-
tery has been solved and that the thief
was former servant who is now on the
ocean. Instructions have been cableo to

arrest the servant upon the arrival OF the

upon which the Scotland Yard author
iIies were instructed to act.

been more secure unless they had been

CITY HALL NEWS.
Providence Has Received $500 for
Dog Licenses.
Applicants for Marriage Licenses--Actlv-
lily In Engineers Office.

Up to last night 1868 dog licenses had
been paid clerk Blanding, amounting
to little more than $500. They have
come in about as slowly as usual, and
this leads the clerk to utter a warning
note to the laggards. The time will
up, April 80, and those who put it off un-
til the last week will find 1t very uncom-
Portable II not injurious to stand in line
for an hour or two. Ladies especially
should fendeavor TO get around before
the rush begins. Last year five or six
women tainted while waiting for their
turn.
The white gloved policeman who patrols
the corridor at the foot Of the stairs calls
attention to the procession OF applicants
for marriage licenses. The number of
cooling couples who call at the city reg
istrar's Office daily increase and SO far
this month SO licenses have been issued,
in spite of the new laws, which have
served only to make more work for all
concerned. For the corresponding period
last year bat az Licenses were taken out.
Dr. King of the health department
states that instead of this unusual warm
spell creating sickness, it has the reverse
effect. The things which the health off,
GERS most dread are circus parades, kirm-
esses and the like. II is singular fact,
the doctor says, that two or three weeks
after the circus parade reports of scarlet
fever become numerous, probably be-
cause all children, including those who
"neyer go out of the yards,n go to see
the circus parade and those who have the
germs lingering about them transmit
tnem 10 those who have not.
Among the new health laws Is one
which provides tnat the board Of health
may order a person to remain away from
work, as well as church and all places of
public assemblage, II there is contagion
in his home, especially IL he refuses TO
properly isolate the person afflicted. This
has never been done and would probably
have to be tested In court before the su-
perntendent of health can positively
state whether the Law can be enforced.
The . city engineers department is
actively at work setting grades at Wash
ington Park, from Maryland avenue to
the bay. The portion of the park hither-
to graded Is well built upon and the ex-
tension OF the work seems necessary, ac-
cording to the city engineer.
The committee on streets met this fore
noon for routine business and tomorrow
the committee on a city natatorium will
meet az 2:30 O'Clock, tnat on accounts at
4 and that on parks Of 1880 p. m.
1t is suggested that the park commits
sioners might entertain a proposition
from some reliable person 10 let ont
bicycles at Roger Williams Park, giving
the commissioners percentage, as Is
done in many other large cities. there
are miles of good bike roads at the park
and many bicyclers, awheel and atoot,
visit IL during rhe season. The commits
sioners are now considering scheme for
a bicycle path. Here Is a chance for some
enterprising aler in wheels.

He has repeatedly told those about him
not TO leave him unattended for he knew
he would do harm to himself or others,
and Mr.. W. Il. Briggs, and his family,
with whom he boarded, have watched
him very closely, as did Mr.. Macombcr's 3
son, Franklin. who roomed with him.
Yesterday Mr.. Macomb Der aeemed to be-
in good spirits, and his friends were ia
hopes that he was on the road to recovery.
At 9:30 last evening he went to his alcep-
ing room, which leads from the parlor,
and short time later he called for Q
drink, which was given him. That was
the last time he was seen alive.
When Mrs. Mary williams, who occu-
pies the tenement under the Briggs fam
lily, looked from her window This morn
ing she saw the body OF man hanging
from tree In the yard, and at once noti-
fed the Briggs family. At the same time
Albert Clapp OF Washington, r. H.. who
was visiting family Oh Pearl street., saw
the man hanging, and jumping over the
fence cut the body down and ran to the
Office OF DIR. Lester 8. Hill, who immedi-
ately responded, but found that the man
had been dead for some time. Hy this
time the body was identified az that Of
George Macomber. Medical Examiner
Palmer was notified and after making q
thorough examination, decided that it
was case OF suicide, and turned the
body over to friends.
Indications show that the suicide Was
deliberate, for some time during the early
hours of the morning Macomber lett his
room, weut into the parlor, where he
found new clothes line, which had
been purchased with a number of other
articles, by Mrs. Briggs, for mem Der
OF her family, who was to call for them
during the day, but did not, SO they were
left In the parlor. From this line Ma
comber cut piece about 10 feet long,
took II into the yard, made one end fast
to limb OF the tree, and at the other
end he made moose. This he put about
his neck, but from the position In which
he was found he had not made proper
calculations on the length OF the line.
for 1t was too long, and he was obliged
to lift his feet from the ground to ac-
complish bis purpose. Medical Examiner
Palmer says he died from strangulation.
Just why he committed suicide is not
definitely known. for besides being sick
for some time he had lived apart from his
wife for tie past tS years, and 1t is
thought by those who know him that
both OF these acted upon hts mind to
such an extent that life was burden.
Mr.. Nacomber belonged I'm Taunton,
Mass, whtre he has brother and sister,
and he has one or two brothers IN New
York. The body will be taken TO Taun-
ton for interment. so far as known no
has but one child. His son Ffqrklin,
who is employed by II. B Little q Co.,
lived at the same boarding place.
