A SWIFT VESSEL TO GO IN PURSUIT.

 Charter a Ship for the Purpose of Pre-.
 venN'ug the South Portland from Lapd-
 ing the Munitions in Their Country.
 NEW YORK, Sep. 22.-The steamer South Portland, loaded with arms and ammunition and ostensibly bound for Port of Spain, Trinidad, was granted clearance papers yesterday. The vessel has lain off Bedloe's Island for 6 week past, pending an examination of Fran cisco Gonzales, owner of Iher cargo, who was arrested at the instance of the Vene- zuelan Consul at this port on charge of violating the neutrality laws between this country and Venezuela. Gonzales was discharged for lack of evidence and the Treasury Department yesterday or dered the vessels release.
 But the end is not yet. There is every reason to believe that before the South Portland ia many miles outside of Sandy Hook 8 steamer chartered by the Vene- zuelan authorities will have started to overhaul her.. The South Portland sailed early this morning.
 General Parazo, the Wene zuelan Minis ter, was very much ehagrined when he heard of the release of the South Portland yesterday. He' complained that he had not received justice at the hands of this. government in the case He would not. deny the rumor that 8 vessel was to be, sent after the South Portland. The ru-- nor is also substantiated in other quar-. ters, and indications point to the steamer Catherine Whiting, now lying at the foot, of Twenty-f1ft street, Brooklyn, as the craft to be sent out. The Catherine Whit ing was formerly one of the Windsor line ,ols IokN IodA A1,.la9 a9A and Boston. She is in charge of Capt. E. L. Eldridge, and is all ready for service, except for provisions and water. She is nearly 500 tons burden and is claimed to make 15 knots. The Southi Portland will only make knots.
 Capt. Eldridge was seen yesterday by 8 reporter. On the cabin table before him lay 8 chart showing the Venezuelan coast. He declared that he knew all about the' South Portland's plans.
 Captain Eldridge would not deny that the Whiting was being held in readiness. for sea.
 Capt. Arthur Smith of the South Port land was seen by the reporter yesterday after he had received his ships clearance papers. He was accompanied by Louis 0. Raegener of 2S0 Broadway, Senor Gonzales lawyer. The gentlemen would not tell where Gonzales was. He is sup posed to have secreted himself on the South Portland, and they disclaimed any knowledge of his whereabouts.
 The South Portland's cargo is described as ''stores and merchandise" The ves- sel clears for Trinidad for orders, and may go anywhere to discharge that her owners may see fit.
 "We have a cargo of arms on board" Said Mir Smith, "but they are not con sraband. They are intended for Mir. Gonzales, who is dealer at Port of Spain." f~S~ Mir. Smith denied hotly that the South Portland was trying to slip out of the harbor Tuesday night without her clear ance papers when boarded by revenue cutter

 PoUGHKEEPsIE, N.

Their Work near Topeka Results in Five
 Dead and Twenty Injured.
 TOPEKA, Kas., Sep. 2a.-One of the most destructive train wrecks ever known in the history of the Atchison road took place two and one-half miles west of Topeka yesterday morning.
 It was the work of train wreckers whose object was robbery.
 The train was the Missouri River night express from Denver and San Francisco.
 At least five lives were lost and m0fe than a score of passengers were seriously injured.
 In the express car there was about $1,- COG, ,0O0 which was being shipped by the Mexican Central Railroad Company through to it's general offices in Boston.
 The object of the wreckers was not ac- complished, owing to the manner in which the express car was buried by the coaches that were piled upon it in general confusion.
 So high was the wreckage heaped that it was literally impossible to find the en- zine, let alone the treasure box.
 The wreckers had removed the bolt from the east end of 8 rail, swinging it outward toward the embankment, thus switching the train of the roadbed.

 HAMBURG, Sep. go. The reports from the stricken suburbs encourage the peo- pie to believe that a steady and rapid abatement of the plague has begun. The fresh eases reported to-day number al most 100 less than yesterday.

 The distress of the unemployed, how tion as has been the cholera. The relief committee is spending thousands of marks daily, yet cannot feed 90 per cent of the people applying for food.
 The eating sheds are besieged by hun gry crowds all day, and, if hundreds of families are not to be abandoned to star vation, new facilities for serving free meals must be found. s4

"We unanimously endorse Grover Cleveland and Adlai E. Stevenson. "We commend to the democrats of Connecticut the state ticket and the platform adopted at Hartford.
 "We submit to the voters of this dis in every respect of their votes."
 The delegates who refused to take part in the convention have published the following open letters To the Democratic voters of the Second district:
 We, the undersigned committee ap- pointed to- act in the interest of those delegates who left the democratic con- vention of the Second congressional dis trict, desire to make the following state ment to the constituents represented by those delegates. Guided by precedent and the principles underlying our form of government which protect the sanc- tity of the ballot, whether at the polls or in party conventions, those delegates insisted upon a ballot. And they in- sisted on ballot according to the forms for which the democratic party of Con- necticut has long contended and finally secured. Their reasons for such insist ance were that they believed that un- due influences had been used Tn the in- terest of a certain candidate, and that delegates had been whipped into line to vote against their own honest choice and best judgment of the interests of the party at large.
 That ballot was denied to them, and in way that left it clear that it was the intention of the friends of MT Pigott to deny them all fair consideration in the action proposed to be taken.
 Delegates were rudely denied the privileges which belonged to them as delegates, and the convention became neither deliberative body nor con- vention capable of doing fairly the work which it was called together to do.' As the privileges belonging to them as delegates were denied to them, they had no other recourse but to withdraw from the deliberations and actions of the con- vention. Their self-respect as citizens and their integrity as democrats left them no other course to pursue.

The Railroad Wreck Near Lancaster, Pa.
 Three Are Fatally Hurt.
 LANCASTER, Pa., Sep. 22.-The collision yesterday between two passenger trains near Rheems Station, fifteen miles west of here on the Pennsylvania road, was more serious than at first supposed and seems to have been caused by fragrant carelessness and violation of orders.
 The oolliding trains were the second section of the Philadelphia express east ward bound and the second section of the Pacific express westward bound.
 Both trains were wrecked.
 One engineer was killed outright and the other and the fremen of both trains fatally injured.
 The passengers were badly shaken up, and some of them, it is said, seriously in iured.
 The tracks were badly blocked for some time, causing serious delay to traffic.
