The Latter Deposed as Leader of Republi-
 can Party in Kings County.
 New York, Sept. 14.-By vote of 107 to 9S, at the republican general com- mittee of Kings county, at it's regular meeting held tonight, it is, claimed Jacob Worth lost the leadership of the republicans of Brooklyn. Theodore B. Willis will hereafter act as leader of that party in Brooklyn.
 The meeting tonight was held at the headquarters of the committee near Fulton and Broadway, and 205 delegates were present.
 The test vote came on the resolution offered by Silas B. Butcher on the hold- ing of primaries, and the county assem- bly, and dictrict convention.
 The Worth people were determined to sustain the recent action of the execu- tive committee which had decided to hold the primaries twenty-four hours before before the convention. Their opponents sought to defeat this action by claiming that a period of forty-eight hours should elapse before the holding of the primaries and the first set of conventions.
 Just before the roll call was taken on MT. witchers amendment Sheriff But ting arose and stated that the holding of a convention twenty-four hours af- ter the primaries was direct violation of the law. After the roll cal on the amendment, the announcement made that it was carried by 107 to 98, was the signal for a wild outbreak of applause on the part of the Platt sup porters and for three minutes the hall was the scene of the greatest disorder.
 Several resolutions were offered in re- gard to the candidacy of Seth Low. After much discussion Delegate Ward offered the following resolution, which, after some debate, was finally adopted:
 Resolved, That Seth Low is the most available candidate for the city con- vention to nominate for mayor.
 This resolution was passed by vote of 151 to 37.

PEACE AND ORDER REIGN
BUT AFFAIRS AT H.4ZEETON ARE
 YET IN 4 CRITICAL STATE.
Strike in the District Spreading With Great Rapidity-1O,0OO Men Now Idle- Gen. Goblin Says That the State Troops Will Remain Until Every Danger Is Passed-No Trouble at the EckIey Mines.


 Passed-No Trouble at the EckIey Mines. Hazleton, Pa, Sept. 14.-Despite alarming rumors the day passed off without serious disturbance in the strike region. Matters still wear such an uncertain aspect, however, that Gen. eral Gobin declares that the removal of the troops or of any portion of them has not been contemplated
 The strike is spreading with great rapidity. Exact estimates of the num- Der of men who have quite work are hard to obtain, but conservative figures place it at close to 10000, with indica- tions that within short time every COL fiery of importance in the region wlii be idle.
 Although some disposition has been shown by small bodies of strikers in the outlying districts to make demonstra- tions, they have been of rather fee ble character and the great majority Of the men are docile.
 These mines are now idle: Cox Bros & G.. Eckley, Beaver Meadows, Le- high and Wlkesbarrs Coal company's 5 Lone Brook, and Audencid mines, Frank Pardee's Cranberry and Crystal Ridge, Lehigh Valley coal company, Hazle mines, Yorktown, Janesville and Audencid. The men at Cox's Stockton mines have expressed their intention of joining the strike. To-day was their pay day. The colleries still working are the Derringer, Tom Hicken, and Shepton of the Cox company, Weston, Dodson & Co. s Beaver Brook mine and J. S. Wentzs Silver Brok mine
 The first City Troop of Philadelphia, which was dispatched at an early hour this morning to the scene of the re- ported outbreak at Eckley, found noth- ing for it to do when it reached that place about 1 o'clock this afternoon. Several hundred miners from Buck mountain marched on the Eckley mines last night and brought out the men there. A few of the men who showed a disposition to continue were roughly handled and the mine superintendent, fearing trouble, wired to General Gobin for troops. He also sent word to Graf ton and seventy deputies from that place were sent over. They kept them selves under cover at Eckley however, awaiting developments.
 Nothing further happened, the men at Eckley joining the ranks of the strikers. Meanwhile the cavalry troop was sent by General Gobin and had a wearisome march over the mountains only to find everything at Eckley peaceful
 The day had scarcely opened before another annoying story came to brigade headquarters by telephone It was to the effect that a gang of miners from Drifton had marched on colliery No. 5, at Jeddo, with the expressed intention of freezing the men out.
