George Coombs who Was Picked Up
Founding Twenty -eight Years Ago.

Founding Twenty -eight Years Ago.
George COMBS, man .twenty-eight
years of age, who was only recently re-
leased from the Massachusetts states
prison after serving a term of two
years for theft of bicycle, was yester-
day afternoon arrested by Detective
Donnelly on the charge of theft of a
+ wheel. and was locked up at police
headquarters. Donnelly was in a bicy-
Gle store ON State street yesterday af-
ternoon when Coombs entered and pro-
posed to sell wheel to the bicycle
dealer Donnelly did not know
Coombs, but suspected that the wheel,
which he had was a stolen one and ar
rested him on suspicion.
Shortly after they arrived at the sta
ton house a complaint was received
there that bicycle belonging to Frank
Osborn of 1872 State stree. had been
taken from in front of the National Pa
per and Box company's shop on Brad
ley street Mr. Osborn is employed
He called at police headquarters and
identified as his the wheel which
Coomps had tried TO sell.
Coombs has had a peculiar history
Twenty-eight years ago he was found
in a basket on George street on the
steps of Policeman Chickering at that
time member of the police force, but
now dead for several years. The baby
was found by Patrolman George Brad
ley, who is now signal officer at the
central station The baby was then
about two days old, and was adopted
by a Mrs. Coombs of West Haven. The
child's parentage always remained a
mystery, and whether because of hered-
ity or not, as he grew older he develop
ed vicious traits, which have already
once landed him in state prison, and
now threaten to do so agas

ceived in Paris.

Paris, May 1.-The foreign Office has
received a dispatch from Pekin an
nouncing that M. Pinchon, the French
minister presented to-day the report of
the committee on indemnity.
The amount China is to pay has been
fixed at 1866, 100000 francs ($273,0 00).
How 1t is proposed that the indemnity
be distributed among the powers is not
stated, but the dispatch does not men
ton The Hague, SO it is thought the
ministers are hopeful of being able to
settle the proportion to be received by
each power by discussion at Pekin.
Official adyices from Pekin say the
ministers are divided into two parties
over the raising of the indemnity.
France, Germany, Russia and Japan
want to utilize the customs duties,
which can be relied upon to produce a
great part of the requisite sum, togeth-
err with the imposition of a duty on
junks, which will constitute a tax on
inland navigation and the taking over
Of some of the likin provincial transit
duties).
On the other hand, the United States
and Great Britain decline to agree to
an increase of the customs duties, but
they do not appear to have presented a
counter proposition. The fact that the
United States and Great Britain have
Joined hands on this question has caus-
ed surprise here. 1t was hoped the
United States would stand firm with
France and Russia. The result will be
to greatly protract the negotiations.
