Stuck on streeter.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Feb 20.-The 117th
ballot in the joint assembly this MORN
ing resulted as follows: Palmer, 10l;
Streeter, "a; Oglesby, 9; Sheridan de-
serting Streeter and going to Oglesby;
11Sth ballot, Palmer, same; Streeter,
95; Oglesby, g. Erickson going to
Streeter. On the 120th ballot there was
no change; 120th ballot, Palmer, 101;
Streeter, %; Oglesby, 8. Assembly adj
journed until tomorrow.
The senatorial situation seems no
nearer settlement tonight than week
ago. The Republicans have hopes that
the members of their party who have so
far refused to vote for Streeter may
change after a visit to thon homes over
Sunday. The gentlemen themselves,
however, assert that they will never
vote for Streeter. There were rumors
to-day of serious diSsensiOns In the
Democratic camp. but they don't appear
to have good foundation. 1t seems
that at a meeting of the Democratic
steering committee this morning Senator
O'COnnOr and Representatives Eddy
and Ramsay expressed the belief that
the time had come for the settling Of
day when Palmer should be dropped IL
not elected. Other members vigorously
opposed such idea, and finally it was de-
termined to have q conference with
Gen. Palmer. He intimated very plainly
that he was in the hands of his party
and that they were free at any time 10
drop him if they thought his election
impossible. 1t can be said authorita-
lively that he will not retire voluntarily
from the contest, and it is not at all
probable that there will be any falling
off in his vote.

Milwaukee Visited by the
Worst Storm Of the En-
tire Season.
Communication Between Chi
eago and st. Louis Inter-
rupted.

CHICAGO, Feb. 2O.-The sleet storm
of last night was the most serious in its
effects on telegraph communication that
has been experienced for years. This
morning nearly every train dispatcher's
office in the city was silent, and trains
in every direction were making their
way through the fog as best they could
without running orders. Fortunately,
no serious accidents occurred. Later
in the day, when the sleet melted and
fell from the wires and the linemen were
enabled to repair damages, communica-
ton was established for short distances.
The most serious damage to the lines,
however, was at more distant points.
Beyond the Mississippi river, the lines
running through Minnesota, Iowa and
South Dakota suffered most heavily.
The storm was very severe and poles
and wires went down together over
long stretches. Toward the southwest,
south and east the same condition of
things prevailed. The wires were re-
ported down. 1t was practically
clean sweep. At the offices of the
Western Union it was said that the
company had suffered more than at
any time since 1883. This morning
the only communication was northward.
Not only the wires, but many of the
poles we're down. Large forces Of line
men were sent out. and, after time, a
quadruplex wire was got through to
Cincinnati, and communication with
the rest of the world was gradually
opened up in precarious sort of way.
The Postal company was in much the
same condition. The signal service
predicts that tomorrow will be much
colder, with snow.

Rail Traffic Suspended.


ST. LOUIS, Feb. b.2O.-A dense fog hangs
over this section Of the country. render
ing the telegraph and telephone wires
almost if net altogether useless. The
Western Union officials report that
communication with Chicago is en-
tirely cut off. TO the west only one
or two wires have been saved from
the wreck caused by the sleet storm
which has prevailed the past twenty
four hours. The Southern circuits are
very slow, and the Eastern wires are
virtually useless. Special aGvices from
the interior of the state Indicate that
the storm is general, and has interfered
somewhat with railroad traffic.
ANTONITO, Col, Feb. 20.-A terrific
snow and wind storm has been raging
the past three days over the mountains
west of Antonito. Railroad traffic has
been entirely suspended toward Du-
rango, Ant0nito being the terminus for
all trains for the past six days. The
Durango express, which passed through
Wednesday morning, is now cooped up
in the mountains unable to proceed or
return.
JOLIET, ILL.,, Feb. 2O.-Joliet last night

electric street cars were totally disabled
OH account of ice on the overhead wires.
Trees all over the city bave broken

WASHINGTON. Feb. 20.-The Wash

on what purp0rtS to be good authority
that eX-President Cleveland will in a
few days issue pronunciamento posi-
lively declining to stand as the Demo-
cratic candidate for president In 1892.
BY some this is believed to be made on

who is in Washington, but 1t Is known
that Mr.. Whitney has positively refused
to meet any newspaper men during his
stay i'll the city, and that his methods
here have been secretive, though known
to be political to some extent.

feet that he had defnitelydecided not TO

days, and especially the rain of
to-day and tonight, has swollen
the Blanchard river, which divides the
city in the center, until it is now over
flowing its banks and driving all the
residents OF the lower section from their
homes and doing great deal of damage
to property. Not for twenty years has
the river been so high. 1t is still rising,
and much alarm is felt as to the harm
the waters may do tonight.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Feb. 20.-Indian-
apols is in danger of being seriously
damaged by high water. The rainfall
the last three days has been the heav-
lest since 1884, and the small streams
passing through the city are out of their
banks. The water has spread over
large section of the northeast
ern portion of the city and
hundreds of cellars are flooded.
Payne's Run, which extends through
the whole settled district of the city, is
bank full. and if it raises a few feet
more the cellars in the district will be
overlooked as they were in 1884, and
great damage will follow. This after
noon number of bridges were washed
out, and many families in the low north
eastern part of the city were compelled
to move out. The railroads are all suf-
ferlng, but few trains arriving on time.
CINCINNATI. o., Feb. 20.-The Ohio
river at midnight registered 4S feet
inch, and is rising three inches per
hour. 1t is believed it will reach 80
feet at least. Merchants of the lower
level are moving goods to upper stories.

philadelphia Record.
A strange case has been brought to
the attention of the police at Reading.
1t was reported that Ellen Erig, wife Of
George Erig, of Tenth and Greenwich
streets, was dying from beating
at the hands of her husband. 1t was
found upon investigation that Mrs.
Erig was at the point Of death from
having given premature birth to child.
When questioned she confessed that her
husband had inflicted injuries upon her,
but that he was innocent of any inten-
ton to do her wrong. She said that
while lying in bed he dreamed that he
was engaged in desperate fight, and
before he could be aroused kicked and
struck her, producing the injuries.
