TROOPS MUST 60.
Mayor Hopkins, of Chicago, Gets
Tired of Waiting:
PuIlman's Property to Be No
Longer Guarded
AT STATES EXPENSE.
If the Works Are Not Opened
in Twenty-fOur Hours
The Militia Will Be Sent Home
By the Mayor

CHICAGO, July 3O.-Mayor Hopkins
said today that unless he was informed
before night as to whether the Pullman
company intends to start its works this
week, the troops in Pullman will be re-
moved within twenty four hours.
The cost of keeping them there is
heavy. the mayor said, and unless he is
convinced that there is urgent need for
retaining them he will ask that there is
urgent need for retaining them he will
ask that the troops be recalled.
Striking railway men at the stock
yards tried to induce firemen and en-
gineers employed by the switching asso-
citation, to quit work today but the
attempt was not successful.
A report was circulated that thirty
six switchmen, hired to- take the place of
strikers, we're members of the Ameri-
can Railway union, and were about
to leave work. The day passed
without move in that direction. The
Santa Fe and Alton roads have announc-
ed their willingness to take back former
employees, and the news of the determin-
alton was made public through the yards
today.
About 100 men return ed to work in
the Nickle Plate shops at 93rd street to-
day. They walked out during the strike.
Their return allows the shops to resume
work at the usual schedule.

denied the privilege of voting. The
scenes at the polls were exciting. Well

children are taking a hand. Feeling all
over the state is intense. Brothers have
ceased speaking to brothers, lifelong
friendships have been shattered sweet
hearts have become esrranged, and faith
ers and sons have turned against each
other. And the prospects are that mat
ters Will become even worse before the
battle Of the ballots August 6.
Col William c. Oates, member of con-
gress from the Third Alabama district, is
the nominee of the regularly organized
Democracy of the state for governor. His
opponent is Reuben F. Kolb, who was
nominated and who is supported by those
who were formerly Democrats, and who
now style themselves JeffersOnian Demo

The Birmingham Age Herald has care
fully figured over the table of the vote
of 1892 by counties, and says: Leaving

Jefferson county elects six Democrats
We have ffty-two secured, a safe and

MISTAKEN IDENTITY.

a Crazy Man Regards Deputy Sheriff G.
ID. Watson As the Devil
A young man by the name of E. c.
Taylor was adjudged insane today by
jury before Probate Judge Elliott.
Taylor is a young man % years old,
and his friends say that his insanity is
caused by love affair in Franklin coun-
ty, though he raves only on religion. He
is member of the Seventh Day Advent
ist denomination, and his business has
been canvasser for sectarian books. He
came from Ottawa last Friday and has
been acting strangely ever since.
He was suffering under the delusion
to-day that Deputy Sheriff G. D. Watson.
who mad charge of him, was the devil.
.'Oh you think you will get power over
me-" he said, "but you can't do il,
devil. This is only my weak
body. My soul is in heaven, but you
can't govern my body. No. sir. You
are slick, but you can't slide. Get be-
hind me; get behind me, I tell you"
He was put on the stand and Dr.
RICHTER proceeded to question him He
answered clearly when asked about his
parents and other matters. but he kept
turning his head to Watson and
addressing him as the devil" told him
to keep away while the questioning was
going on. "New, devil, said he. quit
making him ask so many questions" :"
The doctor at once quit. He pretended
to recognize several members of the
jury, calling w. ID. Disbrow "Uncle
Allen"
There was no doubt about Taylor's in
sanity, and papers committing him to the
state insane asylum were drawn up.

NOT A GREEN THING
In the Western .Two-thIrds of Ne
bras<a-


braska.
OMAHA, Neb., July 3O.-Never in the
history of Nebraska did the future for
the farmer look SO discouraging as at
present Fields of corn that promised
bountifuI yield and a winter of plenty
a week ago stand today dry and with
erred as though swept by flames.
Blasted by the simeon of last week,
the crop was almost utterly ruined. For
hundreds Of miles from the river there
is prospect for partial crop yet, if
rain comes coon. Light local rains fell
in this region last night but there is no
likelihood of general fall soon.
In the western two thirds of the state
there is no hope. Every green thing is
withered. Farmers who had calculated
on an unusually heavy crop Of corn, and
had invested their all in cattle and hogs
to feed find themselves wanting in the
way of fodder and are sending their
stock to market as fast as possible to get
rid of the animals before they begin to
starve.
This is shown in the receipts of hogs
at the South Omaha market on Saturday
when 10000 head came in. The normal
Saturday receipts at these yards are
about 1000 hogs.
During the week 10000 head were re-
ceived- The normal weekly receipts are
about $4,000 head
Many farmers are already on their way
out of the state, there being no hope for
them to get through the winter.

Los ANGELES, Cal, July 30-This city
was shaken by an earthquake last even
ing at GIL o'clock. The direction was
from the northeast to southeast, though
most of the movement was more of an
upheaving than of an undulating charac-
ter. 1t is described as a sharp shock but
not doing damage.
At Acton there were three distinct
shocks, the most severe ever felt in that
region; but no particular damage is re-
ported The peculiar feature of the
affair at that place, however. was that
Immediately after the vibrations ceased
a large meteor, similar to the one which
attracted so much attention on Friday
night here, was seen to fall in the north
It appeared like an immense ball of blue
fire and apparently moved from the
zenith to the north in a rapid way.
