FQ11i,C1Y DEALT WITH,
Great Britain's Latest Criminal Sensation
,t'Tutor Charged With Murder of t&Ls Pupil
and Friend.
A London special says ;--What is known
as the Ardlamont tnystery is making some
stir in London. The trial in the case will
soon take place in the Scottish courts. It
is a question of warder or accidental death.
In the story is found mixed up a "tutor or
friend (the man now in custody), the pur-
chase of an estate, a life insurance policy, a
boating accident and the strange disappear-
ance of the attendant who was with the
friend and the lientonant on the evening o£
the accident or the crime.
The young man who line been shot was
Lieutenant Windsor Oedil, Dudley Ham*
»rough. The person who is awaiting trial.
on the charge of having caused his death is
Alfred John Mouson, who comes of a dis-
tinguished family, and is also said to be a
cousin of Lord Houghton, the Lord Lieuten-
ant of Ireland.
The scene of the fatal occurrence is in the
wild and romantic neighborhood of Loch
Fyne, The Kyles of flute have been visited
by many a tourist. As the etea per passes
along the western extremity of that lovely
strait it turns sharply round a promontory
into the loch. The name of the promontory
is Ardlamont Point, and is now for ever
connected with ono of the tragedies of old
Scotland, a story that Sir Walter Scott
might have woven into a thrilling romance.
Before giving the latest details to hand of
the shooting of Lieutenant Hambrough, it
willbe well to toll something about the es-
tate of Ardlamont, which is pleasantly sit-
uated on the promontory. It may help the
the reader to a better

The estate covers 11,000 acres, one-third of
which is arable land, while the remainder
is moorland, woodlaud, pasture and hill
country. From time immemorial the estate
has been owned by the Laments of Cowal,
bat not long ago Colonel Lamont died.
After his death the estate was valued at
£82,000, but was offered in the market by
the trustees at the upset price of £80,000.
A prospective purchaser appeared in the
person ot a Yorkshire gentleman, Mr. Al-
fred. John Monson, who took the mansion
house and the shootings tor the
season as a temporary arrangement
while the negotiations for the trans-
fer of the property were proceeding. He
brought Ids servants from England with
him and at once became very popular with
everybody with whom he came in contact.
After he had been atArdlamanta month or
two he was joined by Mr. Hambrough, a
lieutenant in the Fourth Battalion Prince
of Wales Own Yorkshire Regiment, and
the oldest son of 1F 1r. Dudley Albert Ham-
brough, of Steeple Castle, Isle of Wight,
who is a Justice of the Peace for Hants,
and generally resides at Houghton, Stock-
bridge. Lieutenant Hambrough having been
born in 1873 would have attained his
majority next year. Mr. Morison, who was
born in May, 1858, is the third son of the
late Rev. '.Gliomas John Manson, rector of
Kirby -under -Dale, his mother being a
daughter of the fifth Viscount Galway, M r.
Monson was understood to bo Lieutenant
Hambrough's guardian or trustee, and on
coming of age the young man, who is said
to be oonneeted with the well-known bank-
ers, Messrs. Hambrough Bros., London and
Now York, would have come into a fortune
of about a quarter of a million sterling,
which bad been left him by a near relative.
After Lieutenant Hatnbrough's arrival at
Ardlamont an understanding was Deme to
h d
that the estate should be purchased jointly
by him, and Mr. Monson's title deeds to this
effect were being drawn up. Then came
the tragic iucident which resulted in the
young officer's death. the mansion house
of Ardlamont stands on a gentle slope over-
looking Loch Fyne and about seven miles
from Tighnabrnaich, the wedtmost pier in
the Kyles of Bute. About half.past one,
o'clock on the morning of Tuesday, August
10, Mr. Monson and Mr. Hainbruogli were
out alone fishing in Ardlamont :Sty, when
their boat strnok on a rock and capsized.
Mr. ILambrough who was unable to swim
managed to climb on to the rock and re-
main there until his companion swam to
the shore and returned in another boat to
his ramie. About seven o'clock the same
evening Mr. Monson and Mr. Hambrough
left the house with the object of shooting
rabbits. Each gentleman carried a gun, one
a twelve bore and the other a twenty. They
were accompanied by Edward Scott, an
Englishman about twenty-eight years of.
age, who had come to Ardlamont the pre-
vious day, having been engaged by Mr.
Hambrough as engineer of a small steam
launch which he had purchased. After his
arrival Scott was nearly all the time with
his employers and even dined with them
on the Wednesday. On this eventful morn-

this is very peculiar. Hambrough was a
soldier, though a young one, and .knew all
about the careful carrying of firearms; was,
in fact, trained to be carefulwith them,
and his father says lie was accustomed to
handle gaps from his earliest youth, Ham-
brough's head was not disfigured by the
scorching or burning of gunpowder. About

News of Mr. Hambrough's death was
telegraphed to his parents on. Thursday
and by their instructions the coffin contain-
ing their son's body was sent to Ventnor
on the Monday afternoon for interment.
Up till that time no doubt had been cast
on the belief that Mr. Hambrough's
death was accidental. Gradually, how-
ever, the case began to assume a new
aspect. It transpired that a week previ-
ons to the shooting fatality A'lr. Ham-
brough had insured his life with a New
York life insurauce company, through
their Glasgow otfioe,for $100,000,the allege -
tion being thee at the time of stir. llama

being assigned to Mr. Monson, while it is
rumored that the deceased was negotiating
with an Edinburgh office for a.fifty thou-
sand dollar policy, On the Saturday after
noon after the fatality Scott, remarking
that he would be no longer required for the
steam launch, left by - the " Columba,"
having been driven to the pier by Mr.

that time he wore a dark bine cloth coat
and vest and dark gray trousers, and is
described as about five feet ten inches in
height, of sallow complexion, with small
dark moustache and steel gray eyes. Since
he left Tighnabrnaich no trace of him has
baen found. In consequence of various cir-
cumstances which came to the knowledge
of the authorities, a consultation took place
between Mr. Sheriff -Substitute Shairp and

FARMING IN BRITAIN.
Can.ttdian !ideas Reeen tineitdet1 for Eng«
Maned.
A recent; London cable despatch says
"The Chronielo of this mornin
g,00
mnent-
ing on the appointment of the Royal
Agricultural Commission, says that Canada
is oneof the most conspicuous examples of
State education to the farmer. Certain ib
is that simfliar instructions to the farmers
of England would be greedily received."
It must heartily gratify every Canadian
who thinks well of his country, to see its
farming methods thus recognized at the
heart of the British empire. In .the last
issue of the Free Press we quoted from the
North British Agriculturist strong testi-
mony
to the excellence of Canadiau cheese
making. By following the insoruotions
which they receive from Canadians, the
Scotch cheese makers have carried off the
leading prizes in the cheddar classes from
the best English makers. This has given
alarm to the latter, who have induced the
Dairy Association of England to set the
Scotch cheese in a special class, so as to
prevent the prejudice in favor of Somerset -
shire cheddars from being completely swept
away.
Now comes the testimony of a leading
London journal that Canada is regarded as
"one of the most conspicuous examples of
State education to the farmer," in a gen-
eral sense. It is not to the German system,
excellent and progressive as it is, or the
American, whioh is acknowledged to be in
the advance guard, but to the methods
which have been pursued in Canada, that
the newly -appointed Royal Agricultural
Commission will turn for direction in the
enquiry that's to be made for the better -
meat of British agriculture. The journal
in question tells us that "similar inatrue-
tions to the farmers of Ragland would be
greedily eteceived."
There could certainly be no more com-
plete vindication of'o;,,;ancasures which have
CAUSING \tat. ILtMOBODUII'S DEATH.
After making a declaration he was removed
again to a cell. Witnesses were summoned
by the Crown authorities, who have also
applied to the Home Secretary for permia-
sion to exhume the body of Mr. llamhrough,
which was interred in the firmly burying
ground in the Isle of Wight. An official
fromluverary will superintend the exhum-
ing and examination of the remains. Mr.
Monson is not rich, but his wife is wealthy.
They have three children. It may be
added that as the assignment of the 8100,-
000 insurance policy had not been complet-
ed et the time of Mr. Hambrough's death
Mr. Nonsou could derive no pecuniary bene-
fit from that event. Four years ago young
liainbrough became the pupil of M r, kion..
son, his fathers intention being, . after
the youth had been successfully "coached,"
to send him to Sandhurst College. This
was how Monson and the Hamhrou;hs
came to know each other. Dudley
Cecil llambrough was a fine bright lad
singularly handsome and prepossessing,
and was beloved by all who know hint, He
was about five feet ten inches in height,
with brown hair and eyes, and ware a
slight moustache. Monson and Iiambrough
became much attached to each other, and
Inc four years they were hardly ever separ-
ated—much,'it is said, to the annoyance of
the deceased man's family. They were
frequently together in. London, Mouson,
who lived at one time is Jermyn street be-
ing particularly well-known in West End
(*cles. Recently the two man when in
town lived prinoipallyat the Hotel Victoria
or at the Hotel Metropole, and were often
to bo seen at the Criterion and other noted
places of public resort and fashionable dis-
sipation. In certain London financial eir-
cies Mr. Monson is by no means unknown,
and it is stated with every show of author-
ity' that from time to time he himself ad-
vanced sums of money to young Ham-
brought, who, it is reported, gave Monson
in return a mortgage to the extent of Li 2-
000 on the property which would come to
him when he attained his majority.
TIIE GAUD BAG, BUT N0 GUN.
The trio entered the cover and walked
through the plantation until they were
about dye hundred yards from the house,
and about twenty from the open. Between
the cover and an adjoining field is a wall 2',
feethigh, whose top is level with the foun-
dation of the plantation and is covered with
turf. Alongside it is a ditch. According
to his two companions, Mr. Hambrough be-
came separated from them after they had
shot one rabbit and they lost sight of him
in the thick brushwood. And Monson and
Scott said that they were passing through
the plantation toward the house when they
heard a shot fired in the opposite direction.
Mr. Monson called ont, What have you
got?" and on receiving no answer they
went to the spot and found Mr. Ham-
brough lying in the ditch about 20 yards
from the highroad beside which are the
stables. He was dead, the cause being a
gunshot wound two or three inches wide
behind his left oar. Assistance having
been procured, the body was carried into
the house, and Dr. MciVlillai, Tighna-
bruaioh, sent for, but of course his services
were of no avail. Mr. Monson brought his
own and his friends gun into the house
with him.. Now, it happened that the guns
of Monson and Hambrough were of differ-
ent calibre, and it was ascertained that the
shots which, killed the young man came
from, the Monson gun. Mr. Hambrough's
gun was a long 12 -bore, while Mr. Monson's
was a short 20 -bore. When this peculiar
circumstance was mentioned to Monson he
explained that he and his friend had ex-
changed guns. Upon this point Edward
Scott could throw some light. Likely
enough he is able to contradict or corrobo-
mte Mouson. But another strange cir-
cumstance in the case. is that Scott cannot
be found. He disappeared immediately
after:the occurrence, leavingg no trace behind
him. I1r, M. E. Naughtondeputy procure-
tncfisoalfor Argyllshire, made the enquires
usual in such a case, the explanation for
the:peculier position of the wound being
that Mr. Hambrough had benn

was no trifling matter. " The sugar fam-

traceable to the financial conditions, which

output to the reduced demand of the job-
bers. This, however, is the preserving
season, and the stocks of the jobbers being
very low, ware soon exhausted by the heavy
demand of the retailers. The demand on
the jobbers caused them to make a corre-
sponding demand on the refiners—a de-
mand in excess of their ability to respond
to, and for two weeks the orders taken by
the refiners were for shipment as soon as
possible. The result has been that jobbers'
orders have been filled from one to two
weeks after reaching the refineries; and now
the supply is tai iporarily exhausted."

great and lasting benefit to the people, he

result was that Quebec cheese last year

A Fiero of Brazil.
Brazil is the great country occupying
nearly one half of the South American con-
tinent. It is larger than the United
States. It has more navigable rivers than
any country in the world. It hese popula-
tion of nearly 15,000,000, all free, slavery
having been abolished by law, without com-
pensation to slave owners, in 1888. Its
largeet city, Rio de Janeiro; claims a mil-
lion inhabitants, and there are fifty-one
cities of over 5,000 population. It costs
about $100,000,000 a year to run the gov-
ernment, and the public debt amounts to
about $450,00C,000. It raises more than
$80,000,000 worth of coffee, of which the
United States gets more than one-half;
about 40,000,000 pounds of rubber, and a
great deal of sugar and cocoa. It has ninety
railroads, and the government owns the
telegraph.
Brazil's trade with United States amounts
to nearly $100,000,000 a year, having in-

The Czar is described as the largest eater
among crowned heads, and the Kaiser comes
next. The latter is stated to have a mania
for eating at extraordinary times, and al-

from the imperial kitchens of a fully -pre-
pared supper, which hs devours in one of
the private rooms of the theatre between
the acts. The King of Portugal is also
more gourmand than gourmet. King Hum

A Strange Feat.
Writing in the The Journal of the Poly-
nesian Society, Miss Teuira Henry, of
Honolulu, says that a strange ceremony
used to be practised by the heathen priests
at Relates, bat can now only be performed
by two descendants of priests, Tupua and
Toro by name. This ceremony consisted
in causing people to walk in procession
over a hot earth -oven, without any eropara
tion upon their feet, whether barefw oted o'v
shod, yet upon their emergence they did
not even smell of fire. The ovens ars fre-
quently30 feet in diameter and are filled
with roots of the ti -plant (Dracaena termini,
alis) and short pieces of ape -root (Army.
costatum.) It is hoped that someone wits
endeavor to solve the mystery of the feat
while those men who practise it still live.
