A HIGHER COURT
MAY SOON SUMMON THE ICEMAN.
OSullivan Said to be Dying Of HaSiy
Consumption,
AND 4 CONFESSION EXPECTED
CrOnin Not Dynamiter---CulVer Defends
Himself.

CHICAGO, December 21.-The weight of
the guilt upon the soul of Patrick O'Sulli-
van is more than he can bear. Consump-
tion has laid it's fatal hand upon him and
he realizes that his days are numbered.
He may not live to pass under the portals
of the Joliet Penitentiary. His sleep is
broken nightly by visions of his victim
and the scenes surrounding the murder,
and there is a general impression that he
will soon lift the load from his miud by
telling all he knows about the great con-
spiracy.
The States Attorney is anxious now
only for big confessions which will tasten
the crime of murder upon those who walk
the streets to-day ss free men. Liberty
awaits 0'Snllivan if he can reveal the
hidden hand and furnish corroborstive evil
dence. There is doubt that OSullivan
was in the confidence of the arch-cOnspira-
tors or knows as much as CouGhlin. As
one of the turnkeys on night watch in
murderers' row at the County Jail was
passing by O'Sullivan's cell last night be
heard these words uttered in piteous
tones: 81 cannot face my God with this
load on my mind"
Stepping softly to the door of the turn
key, inquired: whats the matter,
O'Sullivan?n
The prisoner turned pale and hsggard
face towards the watchman, started up
and aftera a minutes silence answered with
his old scowl Nothing" With the
slow machinery of the Supreme Court on
their side it is not likely that CoughliD,
Burke and O'Sullivan will see the inside
Of the psnitentisry until year has
elapsed. Neither the prisoners nor their
lawyers desire to have the Judgment OF
the lower court reversed and new trial
ordered, but the murderers prefer to stay
in Jail for a year rather than be at hard

AMUSEMENTS.
Thoa. w. Neene.

Mr. Keene is certain of large audience
at the Opera House ca next Thursday
evening, on the occasion Of his appearance
in Julius Cesar" Keene is different
from the one other great tragedian who
now adorns the American stage, in that
the fire and ardor and enthusiasm of his
youth remain. Too often Booth appears to
walk thrOug part ss if tired and jaded,
and Barrett when on the stage was posing
so much of the time thai there was fre-
quently q suspicion that he forgot to act
Keene is like the elder Booth in that ne is
for the time being the character he repre-
sents. One thinks of Keene in connection
with the story they tell OF Edwin Forrest
A very bashful gentleman, who had long
admired the great tragedisn at distance
had the sublime satisfaction Of sitting next
to him at a public dinner The modest
gentleman, however, was so utterly dunn
founded az the proximity of the great ac-
tor that he could not open his mouth either
to eat or speak. Finally when it came to
coffee, he ventured upon a single remark.
"Mr Forrest" he stammered, II believe
you-you-you you sometimes play King
Lear Forrest rose like tower. and
Qlaring down at the modest gentleman in
his wrath, exclaimed in those deep chest
tones that shook the very walls. 'Play
LsaI? Hang it man, l am Lear" And
thus it is that Keens makes himself so
thoroughly part Of the character he desires
te interpret. Oar Own Frank Hennig will
appear On this occasion as Marc Antony"

Uncle Toms Cabin.

The presentation of Uncle Toms Cab
in, " at the Opera HOuse, yesterday, by the
Stetson double company, was without
doubt the best ever given in this city, dur
ing all the years the play has been coming
to our theatres. Two performances, q
matinee and evening presentation, were
given, snd at both there was a packed
house. Prior to the performance Of the
afternoon, the company appeared on the
streets in their grand par de, which is one
of their specialties, and always attracts
wide attention. They hsd a big caliope
drawn by four horses, and fine band, and
in the parade was a handsome Shetland
pony, ridden by little Grace Wsshburn,
the Eva" of the company.
OF the performance, it can be said that
it met every expectation Of those VINO ex-
pected much at the hands Of Mg Stetson.
1t has never been equalled mere, and prob
ably not elsewhere The Characterization
was good throughout, bu: especial meE-
ton must be made of Miss Georgia Dean
Spsuldirg, the greatest lady hsrpist now
before the public, and also Of Miss MOllie
Thompson, who took the part Of 'Topsy.
Both these ladies made decided hits, and
won frequent applause.
The company has been booked Tor a re-
turn next season.
