OUR SICK ONES.

While the general health of the city
may be said to be quite good. considering
the severe wintry ordeal through which
we have lately passed, there are few
here aud there upon beds of sickness but
none. SO far as we know, who are danger
ously ILL.,
Owing TO the hard work and exposure
incident to removal from the Jail residence
IN order to make room for Sheriff Reticks
ers family, Mrs. j. Frank Ankram con
tracted severe cold and is to-day suffer
ing from pneumonia. Her condition
however is much improved from that of
yesterday.
At the residence of Mr.. William Bell
his married daughter Mrs. Jones. of
Toledo. wife of one of the former pro-
prietors of the BIade of that city, is still
quite sick with erysipelas. Mr.. Jones
who is in the mining region of Lake
Superior, is expected here the latter part
of this week.
Major Connelly's daughter is suffering
with a.severe attack of rheumatism but no
serious results are anticipated.
In consequence, very largely, of the
care and anxiety attendant upon the i'll
ness of her sister, Mrs Jones, Miss Ella
Bell is reported on the sick list this
morning. Her physician reports that
few days rest and careful nursing will be
of greater avail than IN 'dicine.

Parsuantto adjournment the coroner's

himself on Saturday night, as narrated in
detail in hast evenings ANGUS, re. assem-
bled last evening in the office OF Coroner
Hawes but - no additional light had
been thrown upon the case verdict was
rendered in accordance with the facts.
ANOTHER cLEw, HOWEVER.
This morning the ARGUS learned that
on Saturday afternoon man fully
answering the description given of de-
ceased, called at the residence of Dr. J.
w. Stark, at the top Of Chm street Hill,
and was met at the door hY Mrs. Stark,
of whom ne inquired the way to the house
of q farmer named Tomuelson or Tomlin-
son who. he said, lived about two miles out
in the country. Net being able to
give the desired information the
stranger went his way and was not seen
thereafter. This seems to be the
strongest clew yet obtained to the iden-
tity of deceased. If Mr.. Tomuelson
could be found he might be able to furnish
ed the desired information Many assumed
that the Unknown must have been famil
lar with that section of the city in order
to have been able TO pick out so good a
place for suicidal purposes On the
other hand none of the settlers up that
way had ever before seen such a man.
The presumption is, therefore. land it is
not violent one, by any means). that
the deceased who was sick. despo ndent
and unable TO find the man OF whom he
was in search became at all events tenn
porarliy ctazed and while in that unfor
tunate condition wandered about in the
darkness un'ildriven to the act of self
destruction. h
The cues lion OF the hour is, therefore,
who knows .'Mr. Tomuelson. living about
two miles out in the country.

This afternoon an AfGUs representative
had short interview with Dir. Bailey
Davenport respecting the present con
dition OF the river, in the course of which
that gentleman offered the following
excellent suggestion, which is worthy the
consideration of our business men at their
meeting tonight. Said he: eve know
that the ice is gorgiag badly on the Rock
Island chain and unless the Ice in front of
this city be out of the way. as soon as a
sufficient head of water accumulales above
there viii probably be great destruction OF
property down this way. following a
general movement of the ice. Elisha
Reynolds has batteries, wires, ETC., already
for business, and believe it would be a
good idea to go down about opposite the
boat yard and blow up all of the ice
possible, then say three hundred yards
farther up put in another blast, and so on.
and when the ice comesd own from above
it win meet with no resistance here and
all win pass OUT quietly without damage.
Ii this be not done I snail certainly fear
for the safety OF oul.ss i!eF WORKS as well
as other property. TIA. A'@-'A'
Mr.. Davenport's suggestion is timely
one. and proper consideration should be
Immediately given it.
THE GRAND MOVEMENT.
At o'clock this afternoon the grand
movement OF the ice in the river began,
forcing the ferry dock up close to the
railroad track, tearing out a portion of
the Diamond 10 office and extending to
the fish house itself Crowds line both
shores witnessing the magnificent sight.
Thus far no serious damage has been done,
but engines stand ready in the yards to
haul cars to place of safety should
the ice encreach any farther on terra

ILlItIe Rock Gazette, Oct. 81


This week the theatre-gOers of Lit
tie Rock will have, for the first time,
an opportunity OF seeing the latest
tragednn ThOs w. Keenc The en-
gagement will be Il notable one in the
amusement annals of the city, and 1t
is 10 be hoped that ii may prove the
pioneer OF many visits Of the legiti-
mate drama.
Since his debut as n star, in Chicago
three years ago, Keenc has engaged
much OF the attention OF American
patrons OF the stage, who have watched
his prOgrCss with uncommon interest;
and IL is safe to say they find
no reason TO think that he has fallen
short OF the promise OF that opening
performance. He gave rs hostages Ia
fortune his uudOubled talents, a long
professional training and nm evident
zeali and they have brought back to
him the prestige Of an assured reputa-
ton. He has played in all the princi-
pal cities OF the West and South and
everywhere received unmistakable ev-
licences of popular favor. Critics
there are who do not approve his
methods, and have tried to with
hold flom him the place to which he
aspired; but the public, after all the
only uuerring critic, has endorsed his
claims Ivy fitting the houses wherever
he appeared.
phose WHO have seen Keenc from
his first season on, and in every char
ac.er in his repertoire, will admit that
he Is AN actor of extraordinary versa
tilily. Perhaps no other on the Amer
lean stage cnu SO completely sink his
identity In the part lac assumes.
kernc Is almost free from ohicctiuna-
ble munnrrlslns ard his perfect com
mand of voice and mobility of face

heenc the auior, one secs, bat Kecnc's
conception OF The part; and while tha
conception may mol accord with ours
we can bat admire it's intclIigenc,
and tho art with which IL Is inter-
preled.
one OF the most enthusiastic OF
keeue's admirers has written that his
faults we're only spots on the sun, -
and, less the eNaEgCratiOn, this is to Il
great extent true. There are an
earnestness, and force, and withal II
magnetism in his work, that leave one
little disposition to carp mt minor inn
pericciious, He carries his audience
beyond the domain of detail, and they
must accent or reject him rs IA whole.
Unlike mnny latter day stars. Kcene

his profession after his name was
printed in blnck type on the bills. He
was educated in the best stock conIpa.

The bottom of the ladder, was COM

OF a leading man. He wisely deferred
attempting the superstnicturc of his
ambition until lac had made the foun-
datiou strong, aud when lifetime anne
ne entered the lists fully equipped for
the work In hand.

people of Little Rock full opportunity
