WAS HE A BEOOSD BEJIWELL ? Ike Kimber Murder Mvitery that if Exciting Montreal. A aOUBWHAT HASTY VERDICT. A Montreal despatch iayi : Ibe myitery surrounding the Disappearance of Thomas Kimber, the young Englishman who disap- peared from this oily in the middle of Apnl, hai been partly solved by tbe dis- covery of his body to-day in the city reservoir. Tte oaae, which ii believed lu be another Ben well case, bai been the talk of tbe whole country for monlhi, and the finding of Kimber'i body baa created a great sensation. Kunber arrived in Can- ada from Topsham, Exeter, England, where hii parent!, who are well to do people, reiide, by the Dominion line at earner Barnia, on April llth last. H< took np hit quarter! with three com pan ions, whom it ii lupposed be met on the voyage, at the Grand Central Hotel, a eooud class house, kept by Thomas Btylei on Kt. James street, near Ihe Orand Trunk depot. Alter a heavy spree he ariii i XL\ I'lhii i tAi.ri. riox THE HOTEL. When the door ot hii room wai forced open the tloor and furniture were found be paltered with blood, and a ra/or ooverec with hair and blood and a number ol bloody handkerchiefs were discovered. For some unexplained reason his disappear ,noe wai kept a secret by tbe proprietor o; the hotel for a couple ot weeks, when it be oame known, and tbe whole detective force ol the city was employed on the case Kimber father, who u a prosperous mer ohanl at Topanam, Eng , oommnoioatec with tbe Dominion Government, through BIT Charles Topper, Ibe Canadian Uigt Commissioner, and Major Bherwood Chief ot tbe Secret Bervioe, wai also em nloyed on the oaae. The effort! of the detective! lo disoover a clue lo the mystery proved otterly futile, and lumber's fate would probably have continued to be a mystery for some lime longer had not an accident resulted in Ihe discovery of his body lo day. Montreal drawi in water apply from two large reiervoiri. What ii known ai Ibe high level reiervoir 11 litu ted at the bale of Mount Koyal. Passing to bis work al an early hour thin morning, Anloine Berncbon, a stonemason, crossed over Ihe Mountain Park by the side ol tbe high level reservoir. Suddenly his notioe wai attracted by something while and Boosnal in Ibe water, and the next instant A III MAN 1IEAU i AME INTO VIEW. Bernchon, who knew nothing ol the Kim btr mystery, called to a park polioeman, and they removed tbe body from the reservoir Tbe body was in an advanoed state of decomposition, bnt marku of vio- lence were plainly discernible. Ibere were three cuts in Ibe lift side of Ihe neck, be sides a long and deep cat across the throat. A towel marked " T. Klylos " wai wrapped tightly round the neck, and furnished tbe doe to tbe mystery. On Ibe body being examined at the morgue three large stones weighing from six lo eight pounds each, were found in tbe coal pocketn. Kimber is suppose*! to have had considerable money when he disappeared, tut all that was found on his person was 15 cents in change On his flannel undershirt wai worked T. U Kimber. \xnniiT or HUI IUE. A flagrant instance of the loose manner in which Investigations are conducted U uch oases wasinpplied after tbe finding o! the body. No sooner had tbe remains beei: removed la tbe morgue than a jury was worn in, and after several witnesses hac been examined, a verdict that decease* had oommitled loiclde wai returned with out even an autopsy being held on Ihe re mains. Dr. Mount, the only medical mat examined, said hs thought it wai a cane ol maids, but oonld not say positively unli he bad made an autopsy. Notwithstanding thii Ibe jury relumed a verdiol al onoe There ii great indignation over the way in which the investigation has been conducted, and it ii denounced on all handi ai graceful. There ii a strong luipicion thai there hai been foul play In the case, and that it may lorn out a repetition of Ibe oaae of Bunwell, Ihe young Englishman whose murder near Woodstock, i >ul., and tbe lubseqaenl arrest of Bircholl, csused ach a Ireinendoui inuat <m in bolh hem ispherea. Tbe fealuic of the oase that is giving rise to Ibe strongest suspicion is how a mau could possibly cut his throat lo the extent of five inches, quietly leave Ihe hotel tn the lower portion of Ihe city in broad daylight at eleven o'clock in the morning, and with a HLXIliV TOWr I. KHAI I H KOI Mi 1IIH Hit I., weak w lib Ihe loss of blood, staggsr through the public streets that lead to the mountain, which must have been crowded with people al that hour of Ihe day, climb a steep hill to the reeervoir, surmount the high railings that surrounded il, and plunge into the water. Buoh a proceeding ii pronounced by leading ini'lioal men as impossible. The fact ot beavy stones being found in th deceased's pockets and only 15 osnts In money being discovered on hi! poreon also adds lo Ihe strong suspicion ot foul play Detective Grose, of this city, who has been employed by ths Dominion Government 01 the oase, says il in a straight murder case ami he in* ii- a report to that effect to Ihe Dominion (iovernmcnt. He is of opinion that Kimber was murdered by some of his Acquaintances who came out with him on the ship, eitlier for his money or in a row and ilit after Ihe killing they took hi Dody by cab to the reeervoir, put the. slones in Ins pocket, and then threw it in. The blood stains in tbe room were probably placed there after Ihe killing. He BXllAaliH IT AH IMIIIKIIIlll.il that a man oonld cut his throat as aeverel; M Kimber did and then walk through thi crowded thoroughfare of the oily wlthou Attracting attention. According lo Ihe statement! of Ihe people who oame out to tbie country on tbe Hernia and who saw Kimber, he did not look like a man whi would commit tniolde. He associated will several rather suspicions characters whlli on board ship, and It Ii feared they may have had something to do with hU dsath Htylss, the hotel proprietor, persist! In say ing hs saw Kimber leave tbe hotel on th morning of April llth, and lhat bit was walking quickly at ths lima, and did no M. in to have anything Ibe matter with him. Altogether the oase is a most in) Her 001 one, and calls for a oloee inveetiga- ion Major Bherwood, Chief of the >ominioQ Beoret Kervioe, who wa* acting t tbe rfi'ieel of Kunber'i people in England through the Colonial Oflice, il Iso of the opinion that it ii another ienwell oaae.

A Ban Francisco despatch of latt eight iayi : One ot the most horrible accident! ever known in California occurred at 1 40 p.m., when tbe local train connecting at Oakland with the ferry bcatt from Ban Francisco ran through a drawbridge over the Han Antonio creek al Webster itreet, Oakland. Tbe yacht Joanite. had just passed through the draw when tbe train appeared, going in the direction of Alamede. Tbe drawbridge keeper tried at onoe to close tbe bridge, bat it was too late, and tbe engine wiib ita tender and first car, which wai filled with paiiengeri, plunged into the river, which wss here quite deep. Engineer Bam Dunn and Fire- man O'Brien went down with Ihe engine. Tbe former, when be saw tbe bridge did nol close, revereed the lever, but tbe momentum of the engine was too great to be Hopped in time. The weight of the engine and the flnt oar broke Ihe coupling and left the other two can of the train landing on Ihe track. Tbe second car ran a third of tbe way across the bridge and stopped, but tbe jtr wai sufficient to break open the front ot the oar, and many paitten- gers were thrown into the water. Tbe first oar, which had followed Ihe engine to the bottom of the muddy estuary, loon rose and such of the passengers as bad escaped were picked op by yachts and boat! wbioh gathered al tbe scene. Tbe train- men and the rest of tbe passengers aided in ibe work of rescuing, and when tbe wreck- ing train arrived from Oakland tbe car was drawn into shallow water and the boats began dragging the creek for bodies. The train wai in charge of Conductor Keeratb and an extra crew, it being a holiday. The Detroit free Preii gives the particu- lars of Ibe marriage of Miss Millie G.

It ii surprising how ttrocg a hold Ihe revived taste for oatseyes, emeralds and opals has taken.

This is presumably intend *d as a wed- ding |.reeLt for Ibe Princess Alue of Heine. This taken with Ihe tact that the Prince of Wales' tavorite pin f late has been an opal set round with diamonds should surely sound tbe death knell of Ihe old superstition relative tu the unlucky lutlitiesof the opal.

Saturday night the college celebrated wild orgies in honor of iti victory over Yale al Berkley Oval on Saturday. There were inppers, bonflrti, nih-horni and a general pandemonium, bat save the insane acts cf two of tbe Hadenti, who, overcome with enthaiiasm, deliberately threw their dreai coaU into the bonfire while dancing around tbe blaze, no great overt act wti then committed.

On tbe college grounds the handsome statue of John Harvard wai desecrated. Bii face, htndi, book and ihoti were bright crim ion, and bit clothei ttriped like a zebra. On the beautiful carved granite pedestal were daubed tbe wordi Harvard '.'. Yale 8, in a dozen different places, tbe paint being absorbed into the poroos stone, raining it. Tbe step* of Appleton chapel and the ia:red interior were painted and smeared with red. The beautiful mosaic pavement in ibe ball of Memorial Hill wai rained by huge red letters ipelling ' To hell with Yale." The free-stone carved fronti of Setver and Boylston Hall were similarly rained and dozeni of other building decorated. The diicoverv of all Ihil raiaed a ttorm of indignation in the city and contternation in ibe university. Tbe faculty have been in session all day. They declare that the desecration ii the work of a band of not over a dozen itn- denls acting in concert, who will be bunted down, and not only expelled, bat banded over to Ibe police authorities, for Ibe dtmage they have done ii inestimable. Wherever thii paint has touched stone it csnnot be removed lavs by chiselling. To repair the Harvard Htlule alone will ooet over 1 1.000, while Memorial Hall will have to have tbe injured mosaic replaced at doable the cost. The demise all told will reach pouibly eight or len thousand dol- lars.
