LEAvENWoRTH. Kans., Sept. 3O.-The
laborers on the Central Narrow Gauge
railroad at the end of the line near Cir
cleville. have been on a strike for two or
three days past because they were not
paid their wages, Early yesterday morn
ing about twenty citizens left this city on
a special train for the scene Of the dis
turbance When at Holton they were
joined by Sheriff Williams, of Jackson
county, and a posse OF fifteen nen. The
train proceeded to the end of the track,
beyond CircIeville. Here large body Of
the strikers congregated, many of them on
horseback, headed by man named Hart
man. The posse was met by boots and
yells, and all kinds Of abusive epethets.
Hartman, especially, was very offensive 10
language and demonstrative in actions.
Captain Tough, formerly United States
marshal OF the district of Kansas,
who had been selected leader of
| the sheriff's posse, commanded Hart
man to halt. aud was answered by pistol
shot. The posse was then ordered to fire
over his head, which was done, and Hart
man replied with two shots from his re-
voiyer, The poesee then, under direc
tioDs, fred directly at him, shooting hin
through the body, inficting wounds froul
which he died in the evening. The posse
then returned to Circleville, where 1t was
met by d great crowd of strikers and a
warrant was sworn out for Capt Tough,
vino was arrested. but released upon his
own recoguizance. At Halton the train
was again met by body of strikers, who
| took possession Of the switch and would
not let it pass until the posse gave Capt
| Tough to them. This OF course was not
done, and the train went back. Subse-
quently the posse left the train, marched
into Halton, and took up quarters in
hotel, which was soon surrounded by armed
strikers, but finding the posse we'll pre-
pared for them, they did not attack tht
house. Capt. Tough was again arrested

New YORK, Oct 1.-The Herald, intro
ducing an interview with prominent repub-
lioans, says: The action of the convention
at Rochester in placing the republican
party of this state in antagonism to the
southern policy and civil service order of
the administration, seems 20 have resulted
in yitaizing the slumbering energies of the
presidents friends in this city. and
in rallying around him compact and
influential party IF the minds of the
gentlemen who make the Union League
Club their headquarters may be taken as
the criterion of sentiment and sympathies
of the republican party in this state, Sen
ator Conkhng's triumph will be of short
duration. They are almost unanimous in
their condemnation of the Rochester con-
vention generally and of the obstructionist
policy adopted by Senator ConkliDg. Par.
ticularly the paci6cStion of the south and
civil service reform will now, they say. be
come the shibboleths OF the republican
party in the present action. The interview
is thus closed: 1t is plain to be seen tha
Mr.. Conkling will find arrayed against hi'
course at the approaching mass meeting /;
