' CHICAGO , July 31. Mayor Hopkins wired Governor Altgeld at noon today asking him to recall eight companies of the First regi ment of the Illinois National Guard. This order removes three of the six companies now at Pullman and leaves but one company on the Illinois Central tracks , that at Bast Hammond. The mayor said that ho felt Batlsfled that the three companies left at Pullman could maintain order. The Second regiment , stationed at the stock yards , will bo loft there for the present and the mayor refused to say when the remaining com panies at Pullman will bo withdrawn. The action on the part of the mayor was the result of a conference between himself , Vice 1'resldent Wlckes of the Pullman company and Attorney General Orendorf of the Illinois National Guard. Mr. Wlckes did not expect trouble , stating that the com pany was making no effort to secure new men and that ho expected the old employes to eventually return to their places.

The firemen nnd trainmen who left the service of the Southern I'aclllc company at Sacramento at the beginning of the strike hope to soon return - ( turn to their old positions. Delegates of * old employes and Sacramento merchants have held consultations with General Manager - Towno. Towno received his visitors cor dially , He stated that the company was willing to accept applications f om former employes and that unless .such employes had been engaged In lawlessness their applica tions would be considered without prejudice. It Is thought the company is willing to reemploy - employ these men provided they show re gret for the past and offer to refrain from striking In the future. The engineers are anxious for the return of their old firemen to work. The engineers say their new helpers "are not able to keep the engines hot" going over the mountains.

" ArrangFim-ntB for riilnn'x lllg Attraction to Ho Presented In Oinnlm. The prospect that Omaha will bo able to Invite her friends In Nebraska and western Iowa to witness the great spectacle Illus trating the' "Last Days of I'ompell' . ' are brightening dally , nothing now remaining to bo done but the closing of a few final prop- osltlbns. The financial part of the work has been well handled. In the first place Paine , the great pyrotechnic artist , who owns the spectacle , asks $15,000 for placing the picture before the public for twenty- eight nights. The Courtland beach people will expend $0,003 In advertising the specta cle. Mr. I'alno has agreed to accept the first $12,000 secured from admissions , then the beach penble will reimburse themselves for the advertising out of the next $ C.OOO , and I'alne will take the final payment of $3,000 due him after the expenses have been paid. The Courtland beach people ask the citizens of Omaha for a cash guarantee of $5,000. This amount has practically been secured , about $1,000 yet remaining to bo subscribed. Commissioner Utt of the Com mercial club , who is assisting In the enter prise , Is confident that the rest of the guarantee will be made up within a few hours , although ho regrets the fact that some of the Omaha Interests which will be largely benefited are extremely backward about contributing to the guarantee. The railroad companies will fit an ex cursion rate to prevail during the entire three weeks. This will enable thousands of people to visit Omaha , transact their fall business with the wholesale merchants of this city , bring their families with them and witness the great spectacle at their leisure. In addition , excursion trains will be run dally , permitting many other thous ands to witness the greatest picture over painted In fire , and return to their homes the same night. The street railway com panies have agreed to make a round trip rate of 15 cents from the city to Courtlaiid beach and return. The East Omaha com pany will operate twenty trains of two cars each at one mlnuto intervals. This ar rangement , It Is believed , will fully care for the thousands who wish to reach the city after the close of the performance. Commissioner Utt Is sanguine of the suc cess of the enterprise from a commercial point of view. Ho believes that Omaha should offer some attraction to the thous ands of retail merchants of the state who come to Omaha to purchase their fall stocks of goods. The amount of money expended by thousands of visitors dally for three weeks' will more than compensate , the busi ness .men bf- the clty for the small amount tli ay contribute to the guarantee fund. THREE OF k KIND. I'nmons Ifloot- Wheeled Locomotives and T/iclr Work. The 999 Is still the queen of all locomotives , saya the Albany Argus. Her run of 430 % miles In 425 % mlnuts stands as a world's record , and her mile In 32 seconds has never been equaled In this or foreign countries. But It Is moro than probable that within the next few months the -New York Central olllcials will order one of those records broken by another engine , and then will glvo the 999 an opportunity to enter into the record-breaking business again. Engines 888 and 870 came out of the New York Central's shops at West Albany , where the 999 was built. The 870 will bo re- chrlstencd and will ba known as the 777. They are now running regularly on the Eni- plro State express , and the company Is ex perimenting with them by running them first on one division and then another , under dif ferent engineers. At present the 999 takes the Empire State express from New York to this city , the 888 from Albany to Syracuse , and the 870 from Syracuse to Duffalo. The engineers of the three flyers are as follows : On the 999 , Archie Buchanan and Dennis Cassln ; on the 888 , Thomas Dormady and Edward Chase ; on the 870 , James Foyle and Matthew Ilea- gan. gan.Tho other day Mr. Chase left Albany with the Emplro State express , thirteen minutes late. The distance , ninety-live miles , was made In 9C minutes. Mr. Uormady says ho made the run from Utlca -Albany In 90 minutes the other day. Continuing ho said. "I made- thirteen miles In ten minutes last week , and I could have kept up that speed all day. . Considering the run of nlnety- flvo miles In 90 minutes , I believe that 1 could m ke 100 miles In 175 minutes. That may sound like bragging to some people , but I am sincere in making the statement. tor I made the nlnety-flve-milo run without the lea.sl bit of trouble , and could have dona it much quicker. " The difference between the speed which an ordinary engine can make and the average speed of the 999 Is shown In a run made by that engine last Thursday. The engine left Syracuse one hour nnd ten minutes Into with the St. Louis express. The train consisted of cloven cars nnd had two stops to make , one at Utlpa and the other at Schncctady. The train arrived In Albany on time , the time having been made up In a run of 153 miles. . _ , Iltir Moutii Wiis Hattlo Butman , 7 years of ago , daughter of Charles Butman of Beverly , Mass. , Is an Inmate of the Beverly hospital with two broken Jawa. A number of percussion caps exploded In her mouth , shattering her jaws and cutting her palate off. Since then she lias been lingering betwpen life nnd death and there Is but little chance of her re covery. The attending physician has not been able to sot the bones. It Is his Inten tion to try and wire the broken bones and allow them to knit It possible. If blood poisoning does not sot In she Is liable to pull through , but It la doubtful at present , The physicians who attend her consider It llm moat singular accident that has happened fof a long tlm.0. She fell off a sofa at homo with the caps In her mouth , and they ex ploded us tine landed on the floor. ( lurks Moiml llnrU Into tlio Ford Tlieuter. WASHINGTON , July 31.
