Oie Nnweenue Revert, linrrisn N. W.
T., July 1, 1891. --The last letter left us
just reaehing the shores of Ahk-klain, or
the Big Lake. There are eeveral Abk.
kinins (or big lakes) in this general locality,
however, which would seem to sagged that
the title is only descriptive after all, and
has not the full signification of a proper
name. Had we taken the northern path at
"The Trail Splitter"—which we came
near doing by mistake—its course would
have led
n a to another Ahk-klain, which is simply
the largest of a series of lakes on that trail
according to the Indian version. Again,
Lake Bennett (which I named after James
Gordon Bennett in 1883) is Ahk.klain to the
Chilkats, a band of Tlinkits that trade in
the interior by a trail that takes them over
this lake and several others, of which Ben-
nett is among the largest. So several more
or less clearly defined Ahk-klains have been
known for varying periods as existing here-
abouts and some of them have even crept
into maps but nearly always as Lake Ahk-
lain (with several methods of spelling it),
O tautological error about equivalent to
Lake Lac Quiparle or Rio Grande river.
One of tho attractive features of its shores
was the large number of wild roses seen in
bloom and that crowded all the open
spaces where timber fires had killed the
trees and allowed the sun to get freely at
the soil. The robins.ancl the roses were a
grateful contrast to the snow banks and
ptarmigan we) had so recently left behind.
But there is no rose withent a thorn. and
there were certainly a thousand thorns in
this case for each rose if the mosquitoes can
be figuratively spoken of as such. Two of
the party tried to take a shore hunting and
fishing tour up the lake, and were driven
back by these numerous pests. The 17th of
June was spent in rigging out the folding
canvas boats for lake navigation. Masts
and stays were made from poles and boards,
and fish -slicker blankets were extemporized
into sada. Very good oars were made by
Russel front rough slabs, he being a carpen-
ter and boat builder. We had not struck
tee upper end of the long, narrow lake, as
some may imagine from my previous
descriptions, but on the western More
some distance from that point. To deter-
mine how far it Wee to this end and make
its survey complete the doctor and. I
started for it in a boat the afternoon of the
17th, but after rowing vigorously half the
afternoou against a head wind, we were
forced to turn beck, the lake still stretch-
ing out southward around a slight bend as
far as the eye could reach. It was quite
evident that the lake, like the river we had
met on the Pacific slope, was for above its
normal level. All of the shore line timber
was ballun ler water, showing that the lake
beach was well submerged, and it was only
at theeiery open places we could launch or
land ourboats favorably. During the day
we saw a heavy signal smoke far down the
lake, showing that all the Indians had not
left the country despite the large number of
outward bound fur traders that we had
met on only one trail. In fact I was
surprised to find such a nnmber of Tlinkits
of any ohm (these are the Takou clan) mak-
ing their houses on the British -American
inland plateau. I knew personally that
several of the clans bad trails leading
thereto, but supposed they only used them
tomake fnr-trading excursions to the
inland tribes. The Talcum lusee a legend,
acs my own Indians, told tele that all the
Tlinkits were once Wiens and lived as
friends in one big village 011 the banks of
the Takon River until e general quarrel
arose (it nsay be a waste a! printers' ink to
state there was a woman in the ease) and
many wsre killed and rnsi ined therein. As
O consequence a ouseM r of discontented
parties re il las oi f rum this Tlinkit
Betel and fomeled ill., various clans or sub.
tribes of Chilkate Sitkas, Kootznaboos,
Atalts, Stiekeene, end others of the T'linkit
tongue
From, Alik-kain a trail, waggon road or
even railroad could de run practically in
tiny direction that bore the cardinal point
of eastward in its eouree.
The forenoon of June 18th we got away
under " slicker " sail with a fair four -mile
breeze. Some six or seven miles beyond
eery there is a tumble down Indian
"shack" on the east bank that may be
inhabited occasionally, for I had found out
by thiss time that however dilapidated a
native bnilding looked, especially about
• of, it eves he positive sign but that
that part may be repaired ahnually and
at certain seasons it is occapied. A
heavy roaring sound from this bank
showed us that smite a large river came
in here. It was aboub fifty yards wide,
shallow but rapid, while ite delta wag
clogged with drift timber Everywhere
along the photo of the lake this drift timber
was to be seen, Whenever we tried to land
this driftwood on the lake shore, at this
high stage of water, barred our way more or
less effeetually, tMil we were lucky indeed
where the driftwood was solid, and we could
carry the beateaehore item its outer margin.
In nitim Mies out, of ten, however, the outer
fringe of loge were looze in the water, would
roll over When stepped tippet, told thill earn -
blued with their slipperyealinii sedate, made
landing an ethletic terielertiking nob very
agreeable ie our etiffiened coadition after
tielseral hours in the boat. About noon 014
Wind died 014 and the reat of the clay we
• spent at the oars. The middle of the after-
noon a wind get in ability from the north
and delayed us a 'great deal. Thi e alterne-
tees of forenoon and afternoon winds
in opposite directione we fourid to be quite
cm:lunettebut with considerable divereity as
to the time a day whep the change took
place. About noon we eaw a large river
coming in front the east. By 4 o'cloek we
reached Cliff Point on the eastward—the
first ebrupt promontory on the lake that we
had met. It was granite, some 75 to 100
feet perpendicular, and a most picturesque
and conspicueus break to the gentle grad,
lents so obaracteriatio of the hores of Ahk-
klain. There were 23 great big miles to our
credit that evening—a distance that appears
insignificant now, looking back from the
land of railroads and ocean greyhounds, but
that made camp ;mem like a foreign country
from the piece we had left in the morning by
comparison with our former gait. The next
day, Juin) 19th, was almost a repeti-
tion of the one described. About noon that
day we came abreast of the Caribou range,
so called by the Indians, This is a most
conspicuous insolated cluster of peaks on
the west • shore, around which the lake
slightly bends as if dividedab thie point
into two great arms. The first day'e boat-
ing had not given us a 'single " rise " with
three trolling lines set out, but this day,
when we saw scene fish jumping, the trolls
were again cast and two ealmon trout were
takWelliih a twenty -even mile record that
day we felt like camping early, but the
driftwood vetoed our efforts and warned us
convincingly that if we wanted to get all
work done 'before dark we must hereafter
seek an early camp to compensate for time
lost in this way. We got away early the
20th, as a spauking breeze our svay induced
•us to press matters while it lasted.
About 9 we passed the mouth of the
Keen-klain (Heen-river in Tlinkit), or
Big River of the Indians. It comes in
from the east and is 100 to 152 yards wide.
Its valley is conspicuous, and can he traced
back inland for forty to fifty miles ; large
snow-olad hills flenking it on the southwest.
It is evidently the largest river draining
•into Ahlt-Klain. Here a couple of Telma
Indians, in a light birch -bark canoe, pad-
dled over to us from the west [fide, having
previously signaled us by a gun -shot. They
had some uninviting dried moose -meat with
them, but we bought the best looking piece
among the lot, they, as usual, gettiug the
best end of the bargain. That evening's
meal had the hese the market afforded,
there being gulls' eggs, moose -meat and
salmon trout, with pork and beans for
dessert. The record for the day was 25
miles, the greater parb being done by
good, honest rowing. The next day,
in the early afternocn, the lake began to
narrow rapidly, and the outlet could be
seen among a lot of white broken banks.
At 4.20 we entered the draining rivet and
once more took a good gait vvithoub labor-
ing for it. That day we made twenty miles
on the lake, or ninety-five in all. It is
therefore safe to assert that Ahk-klain is
over one hundred miles in length and will
therefore take its place among the great
lakes of the British American Northwest ;
O land famous for ito large lakes. The land
of the Takons may be said to end with it,
the farthest inland of any of the Tlinkits.
Yet I came in contact several tunes with
the fact that they knew something of a
Tlinkit band, the Stickeens, showing that a
probable inland cornmunication existed be-
tween them. The Stickeen country is around
Wrangell, Alaska, thia town depending on
the Cassiar mines, reached from Wrangell
by the Stickeen river. This stream is 'navi-
gable for 140 miles, then there are some
seventy-five miles by pack -train to Deese
Lake, and twenty-five nines over it to Cas -
star. All through this land the Stickeens
have been employed and may have ex-
tended their trading excursions to the
Takou land of lakes. Kat-o-shan, the
present Stickeen chief, gave me interesting
information as to the use to which the
Tlinket totem -poles are put and regard-
ing which there are a number of con.
jectures. Be said that excavations in

them ale often used as burial places for
the ashes of cremated Indians, while
others are geneological and historical.
These Indians have a legend that the
great Stickeen glacier once reached across
the river which flowed underneath. Through
theley tunnel they once sent an old man 10
his canoe. To corroborate the first, there
can still be seen the remnant of a glacier
opposite the main masses of ice, but nothing
to corroborate the second except the amply
inherent meanness of them to do such a
trick, especially if the old man was a de-
crepid and valueleas slave. I was told that
about the latter '70's Shoerich, chief of the
Chilkats, of whom I have already spoken,
killed sixty slaves before Shakes, chief of
the Stiekeens, who, not to be outdone in
abolishing slavery, slew sixty-five before
Shot -rich. Then the two clans fought and
the Stiokeens were whipped, my informant
adding that Shakes committed suicide as a
result.

DEACON'S LIGHT SENTENCE.
He Gets One 'rear's Imprisonment for the
liturder of Abielle.
THE JUDGES' OHA,RGB ADVERSE.
A Paris cable gives the following perticia
Jars of the Deacon trial : Deacon recounted
hisurelations with his wife from the mar-
riage unti11890. Their life, he said, was a
balmy one until they made the acquaintance
of Abeille. That was in 1887. Abeille's visits
to the Deacon home were at first rare' but
they !subsequently became 130 frequentthat
he objected. Finally these visits led to the
breaking of the happy domestic relations
that bad theretofore existed between himself
and his wife.
Deecon then recounted at great length
the suspicions he entertained of his wife'e
improper connections with Abeille. He
employed detectives to watch his wife, and
when ahe discovered this she was greatly
incensed, and frequent quarrels took place
between them. Referring to the fatal time
when he shot Abeille in his wife's room, he
Reid " When I saw this little man
wounded I felt poignant regrets, for a man
having soms: conscince must always regret
killing another." The audience applauded
this statemeat.
e The president—Why did you not Avail
yourself of the law of divorce before killing
your man
Deaeon's counsel protested againat raising
the question in this form as likely to preju-
dice the jury.
Mrs. Deacon's deposition was then read.
Opening with the events of lebruary, Mrs.
Deacon deposed as follows: M. Abeille
•°aim to see me at half -past ten o'clock in
the evening. I met him in the salon alone.
At, about half -past eleven my husband
knocked violently at the door of • my
• chambers, crying: "Oen, I know there is
some one with you." 1 ,lit .a candle and
then opened the door. He immediately
searehed the room. I then extinguished
the candle, but he again lit it quickly.
From my room he jeweled into the salon,
where M. Abeille had hidden behind the
sofa to avoid my husband, seeing that the
latter had not authorized me to receive him.
My husband discovered him and fired at
him three times. Mr. Deacon went away
only after showing a disposition to enter
the roorn where his vietim was
carried in order to attack him again. 1 had
on a blue robe de chambre, not a white
night -robe, as reported." The deposition
ended : "I desire to add that Mr. Deacon
is both a madman and a drunkard. For the
sake of my ohildren I desire his acquittal."
The reading of the statement that Mr,
Deacou is mazy and a victim of leper
caused a sensation in the court -room,
nlefter the physicians who attended Id.
Abeille had testified, a former s Oct de pied
of Madame Deacon stated that Abeille
watched from his carriage Deacon's leaving
the house or hotel and then went in to see
madame. The domestics in the house
knew of the relations between Mrs. Deacon
and. Abeille. Witness once went with
madame to her lover's residence in the Rue
Penthievre. (Sensation.)
The taking of evidence was then con-
cluded and a short adjournment was
ordered. The president, resuming his seat,
had repeatedly to call for order before the
prooureur began his address to the jury.
The procureur said he thought that eheie
was too much already said about this affair.
He referred to the tendencies of the
modern litterateur to deal with episodes of
adultery. Under this tendency he said
,whet ought to have been only an affair
of • Deacon's had become the world-
• renowned Cannes tragedy. The procureur
pre:weeded to contend that the murder
vf Abeille was committed at a moment ef
passion, when there was no clear proof ef
Mrs. Deacon's adultery. In concluding,
the procureur said he held that the crime
presented the aspects of premeditation snore
prominently than usual in cases of crime
actuated by passion. Deacon had watched
for and chosen the hour both to kill and to
obtain evidence for a divorce, and could
not therefore be allowed acquittal. The
procureur then made a pathetic reference to
the mother of Abeille, especially calculated
to touch the French jury.
M. Demange in his address to the jury
declaimed against the procurettr's attempt
to place the accused among criminals simu-
lating passion to juatifypremeditated crime.
He referred to the training of the American
.
as likele to give him a keen sense of out-
raged honor and ready impulses of revenge.
He dilated on the high social status of the
Deacon and Baldwin families. In conclud-
ing, M. Deroange said that since the
procnreur had evoked a souvenir on the
mother of Abeille he would remind the jury
that a calumny which blasted the living
would not avail those who wept for their
dead.
The president then pointed out the charges
the jury had to decide upon.
After a half hour's private deliberation
the jury returned an affirmative verdict on
the question of inflicting wounds resulting
in death without intention to kill, the
decision being equivalent to a verdict of
wilfully wounding. M. Pilatte, on behalf
of Deacon, then made a strong plea for a
minimum sentence, after which the presi-
dent retired from the court room. On his
return, after considering briefly in retire-
ment the sentence he would impose the
president announced „ that he imposed a
sentence of one year's imprisonment.
A FARCICAL SENTENCE.
Justice as it Is Administered itt the Czar's
Domains.
•••••••••••••
A St, Petersburg cable says: Judge Ker-
man Koehbrandt, of Wenden, near Riga,
has been fined 200 roubles and removed
from office for abusing his power. • Among
the enormities proved against the judge was
that he had ceased nine men and women
accused of trivial offences to be flogged with
switches until the blood flowed from their
bodies in streams). Another case was that
of an alleged thief, who reeeived 30 strokes
of the lash in the judge's kitchen, and still
refusing to confess was given 30 more. The
man, against whom nothing had been
proved, never fully recovered from his in-
juries. A pe.asant who had failed to pay his
rent was given 20 strokes. One Mendia, a
powerfully built soldier, who had been sen-
tenced to receive 30 lashes for some offence,
attacked the doggers and vangaished them.
The judge thereupon tried to administer the
punishment hitnaelf, but Mendis turned the
tables by giving the autocrat a severe
thrashing, after vvhieh he was lucky enough
to escape from the country. These are but
a few instances of the judge's actions. The
inquiry into hie conduct was proceedine
nine years before his condemnation was
decided upon, in spite of innumerable dom.
plaints against him by eitizene. The ptiblie
are indignant at the light sentence imposed,
na the miscarriage of Piatice is attributed
to the fact that the judge posseeses eonsid-
erable wealth.

A FIREWORKS ENFLOION.
A Hartford Factory Wrecked and Many
Persons Killed.
A Hartford, Conn., despatch says: At
4.35 yesterday afternoon the factory of the
lEtna Pyrotechnic Company on Mechanic
street blew up with a tremendous noise,
which shook the city and was heard some
miles in the country. The contents of the
building fiew high in the air, and papers
drifted off a mile or so from the scene.
J. L. E. Sibley, a well-known Hartford
citizen and member of the Hartford Club,
connected with the 2Etna Pyrotechnic
Company, was at the works paying off the
help. His was the first body taken out of
the wreck. He was dead, appseently killed
instantly. Emma Tarbox, Emma Tregunza,
O widow,, and Maggie Capon, employees,
were found dead in the ruins, recognizable
oely by their elothing. They were fearfully
blackened. Geo. Seinsoth and one woman
employed there are missing, but will proba-
bly be found in the ruins later. A large
force of firemen and police assembled at
once. The building was fired by the explos-
ion, but the flames were soon under control
and the men set to work removing obstruc-
tions to get at the victims. Geo. Stevens,
Rose Harvey, Kittle Gordon, and Minnie
Taylor were rescued alive. Stevens was
badly hurt and was taken to the hospital.
Sas. Berry, the engineer, left the building a
moment before the explosion'going into a
connecting factory to ask what time it was.
As he turned to go back the crash came.
His life was saved by the circumstance.
The eorepany made red fire and blue firm
and it was not eenerally supposed that' the
place was dangerous. They have been
running for eight years. -
By the direction of Mayor Hyde electric
lights were rigged so that the work of
recovery could go on at night. The explo-
sion broke windows in all the buildings
thereabouts, awl drew to the scene an
immense crowd of people. Nothing has
happened here since the Park Central disaster to to arouse the community.

TWO STRANGERS 'DROWNED.
rwo Young Men Lose Their Taw; la
Toronto Bay.
A Toronto report says: A regular gale
was blowing on the bay yesterday after-
noon, and two young Englishmen while at-
tempting to cross to the Island were
swamped by the waves and drowned. About
1 o'clock the two young men, Charles Wel-
ler and C. W. George, hired a row boat
from Mr, Wm. Armour's boat -house to row
to the 'bland quarters of the Rope Came-
dian Yacht Club, W. C. George saying he
had just come over from England with a
brother of Caretaker Martin, of the Yacht
Club. Mr. Armour advised them not to
'venture out, as the bay was very rough,
• but they insisted on it, one of them saying,
"Oh ! tbat's nothings to what it is at Og-
densburg." They had hardly got out fifty
yards when the wind sweeping around the
wharf upset the boat and they sank. Mr.
Wm. Bruce, of the yacht Condor, which
was anchored close by, heard a scream, and
looking around saw that the boat was 01 set
and two hats death% on the water. eir.
Bruce and Mr. Robert Graham, of the
Zelma were at the place of the accident in
a caul& of minutes, but were not out in
time to save them, and when they arrived
nothing could be seen. The men apparently
could not swim, for there were three yachts
anchored within ten yards of where the
accident happened. Both men registered at
the Crosby /Jail Hotel Tuesday night as
C. A. George, England, and Charles Weller,
Montreal.
To Cut Glass IWIth Scissors.
One can cut glass with a scissors as easily
as though it were an autumn leaf. The
entire secret consists in plunging the pane
of glass into a tub of water, submerging
also the hands and the scissors. The scissors
will cut in straight lines, without a flaw.
This result is achieved on account of the
absence of vibration. If the least portion
of the scissors is left out of the water, the
vibration will prevent the glass cutting.
