STREETER OR PALMER.
The Great I'iinris Senatorial Conte
 Nearing the End.

Nearing the End.
 SPRINGFIELD, IL, March l0.-The Big Three agree that if Strceter is ever elected his eleet.on must occur not later than We'd ncsday. After that date" said Mir. Taubeneck to night, nobody can tell what may happen"
 From the way In which Moore and Cockrell talk the opinion is formel, and generally concurred in, that unles the i've anti-Streeter Republicans join the majority Of their party and vote for Streeter before Wednesday night, Gen. Palmer will be elected on Thursday. The opinion ,ems to prevail that after Wednesday, if there is no election by that time, Moore and Cockreli will feeI at liberty to vote for Palmer and will do SO. The conclusion is formed from their repeated declarations that they will suddenly end the contest if the Republicans do not elect Streeter by Wednesday, and fro Il the statement made by Dr. Moore that hs constituents arc flooding him with telegrams asking him to vote Tor Palmer
 MT. Stoker Is the eniy anti Streetcr Re. pull can mem OCT at the State capital to. day, the others not having yet arrived. H. Is unct rtaiu as to what course he will ursue. His mind will not be made up un- ti hs ia advised as 10 wha. Bacon, Evans and Crawford have Goc ded to continue to do. If they have decided 10 ntiuue vot.ug ug i.nst Sure tier t) the end, be will probably do the same thing, as his voto without theirs would count for nothing.
 IL is learned that Mir. Cochroil, while In in Ch cago Saturd y, had confereucc co with Senator Evans. and that Evans laid before him an array of evidence against Streeter showing why he is not entitled esea to the SUI pert of the F. NJ. E A. members. Th.s evening Cockrell reported to Dr. Moore tho result of the interview and Dr. Moore said that If Evans could prove his statements he tMeore) would DO longer vote for Streeter. The Big Three will hold a conference and Senator Evans will be invited in. If his evidence is sat. tsiactory, Moore aud CockreH will go into the joint assembly and vote for Palmer. Senator Evans Is not here, aud tho nature Of his charges can not be asccrtailei

Uuder the cab of the 10 ,omotive the lifeless body of the fireman lay, and pinned between several heavy timbers was that of Engineer E.rkenhead, who was taken from his perilous position still alive, but terribly injured.
 The horror of the wreck was augmented when the baggage and express cars and the smoker caught fire from tho engina The mangled corpse of Fireman Saddier was slowly cremated in tho cab A deter mined force of men set about tho work Of rescuing those who wore injured in the smoking car, and finally succeeded in gct- ting every one out TAe fir, quickly spread to the coach and the two magnificent sleep CTS, and in less than an hour the entire train was eiGced to as hes, nothing re- maining of it except tn he trucks.
