Temaganai, the inland Sea at the 72nd mile, is the largest lake along the line of r-a.ilway. It has.four main arms and has a very rugged and broken shore line. There are thirtmn hundred. islands in the lake. The Temiskam- ing Railway crosses the east Cor- ner of the northeast arm: This arm is 17 miles long. Ilear Island is the headquarters for the Ontario gov- ernment fire r,anagers and the heme of the Indians. lc has a well egnip- pd Hudson Bay store.

A bomb was the weapon, and the Grand Duke was shockingly mangled, this head iaeing blown to pieces. The Grand Diflee entered. bis carriage at the main eotranceof the Nicholas Palace, intending to drire to a private bath in a house which. he occupied when he was Gorernor4Genera.1, It was the first time in eeveraf weeks that he had driven u,aacco.mpanied by the 'Grand Duchess, who has always been pop- utar with an classes. The carriage, which was a closed one, was driven up the -wide roadway which opens on the steand square. On the route the Imperial carriage was overlak- en and passed by another vehfclet drawn by a single horse. It was driven at a rapid rate. When thasi vehicle had :passed a few yards a bomb was flung at the Grand Duke's carriage by a man who seemed to be about thirty years old. He was clean shaven, and wore the holiday clethes of a respectable workman. He had then been concealed by the tunnel formed by the tower of the Nikolsky Gate, but ae the IDai- riages appeared at the far end of the long square formed by the arsen- al- and law couran, he stepped boldly' forward and flung the boanb. The force of the explosionwas tereific. Sergius was killed instant- ly.. Tbe whole of his body above a line drawne from the right shoulder to the left igroin was reduced to h mere pulp of flesh, and the bead was, b.lown to -atoms. The boiri of the oarriage was shattered . i,nto sphinters, but Ithe'driveris box was left intact. The iterritied horsee swung round end darter' franticale ly aeroas. the square. Every window was smashed in the buildengs within ' a radius tif two hundred yards. A policeman and a watchman- were the only eye erTtnesses of the crime but the noise a !the eXplcrSion ' brought ethers hurriedly to the spot, and the murderer, who seems to have made no effort 'to escape, was promptlyrarreSted.
