 Issne statemsns.
 Rome, Sept. 11..Doctors Lapponi and Mazzoni defend themselves from the criticisms of Professor Cardarelli, who on Septenlber 10 published a long article to demonstrate that Pope Leo died of tuberculosis, cancer or right hydro thorax, by giving out a statement sim liar to that Dr. Lapponi gave to the Associated Press on July 19. This is to the effect that both Dr. Lapponi and pr. Mazzoni after examining the pa- .tfent understood his true illness, but Cardinal Ranpolla absolutely refused to have 1t officially announced in the medical bulletins. The symptoms of the malady becoming daily more evil dent, and foreseeing criticisms from their fellow doctors, Doctors Lapponi and Mazzoni insisted on publicly stat ing the true origin of the illness, but found Cardinal Rampolla unshakeably opposed to 1t. Tn order to protect their professional reputations they then had recourse to written statement, made before a notary, giving the exact details of the pope's case. Copies of it were deposited with Cardinal Rampolla and Monsignor Cagiano, Pope Leo's major domo.

HoW TRAIN WAs SAVED.
Further Details of tho Lucky Escape oi
 tho Gilt Edge Express.

Wood River Junction, R. T., Sept. 11.-- The lives of trainload of passengers were removed from jeopardy last night by the presence of mind of W. F. Clark. of this place, and Charles Low, of Bos- ton, who rushed down the track and gave warning signals which stopped the Gilt Edge express, bound from New York for Boston, in time to prevent it from crashing into mass of Wreckage caused by collision of freight trains Both men were near the scene when the freight trains came together with such force that both main lines were blocked, and, realizing that the fast ex- press was then several minutes over due they lost no time in their efforts to save it from destruction. They had gone less than two hundred rods down the track when the train came in sight, but by vigorously waving their lanterns they attracted the engineers attention and the train was brought to stand still only a few feet from the jumbled mass of wreckage. r@.a..
 In recognition of the efforts of the two men the passengers on the Gilt Edge started subscription and raised $156, which will be divided between them. The train was subsequently, sent to Bos- ton over another route
 The freight wreck probably resulted from misinterpretation of signals, one freight containing a large number of valuable horses colliding with another demolishing four cars and injuring three men one nf 1uhay, Ma++Laur Hatch, of Providence, is not expected to live He was taken to a New London hospital in a special train.

LOOP AT THE YALE FIELD.
STREET TRAILWAY COMPANY PE-
 TI1IoNS TO CONSTRUCT ONE.

l Board of Aldermen to De Asked Their consens-Pians and Specifications I Prepared and Work to be Commence atOnce-W WilI be of Public Benefit and
 Facilitate Trausportati tion.
 With a desire on the part of the Fair
 Haven and Westvilie railroad to facili- tate the transportation of attendants at the various athletic events which take place at Yale field that company, through it's engineer, J. K. Punderford
 has prepared plans and specifications
 sor the construction of loop imnle-
 diately opposite Yale field.
 The petition for the granting os the 1 right to build this loop was presented to City Clerk Norris late yesterday after noon It provides for the construction of q single track which will branch from the main track directly in front of the present upper gate and go through
 Tryon street to the first street above.
 Derby avenue, and parallel with it and then through it to the second street be- 1 low which is justin Ihe town of Orange and return to ths main incoming track at a point .n front of the gates to the lcenletery on Derby avenue.
 I This. work VIII call for the laying of about 1,650 feet of track and an expen- diture of at least S4,0o0. This loop, while | it will be very great convenience and insure against the congestion which has
 heretofore prevailed on the occasion of a large crowd at the field, will not. be
 used more tEan about thirty times a year. It will be of no avail for the
 regular traffic and especially when the through service to Derby is inaugurated | The obstacles against the companys
 handling easily the immense traffic on
 the occasion of the big football or base
 ball games at the field will by this change be removed. It has always been l the aim of the company to provide every
 facility for the rapid transportation of l it's patrons. and the officials think that
 in this proposed change they will solve
 the difficult problem at Yale field and
 remove the cause for any future com pla,nts. @
 This petition will be presented to the
 board os aldermen at it's next session
 and it certainly should receive unani-
 nous approval as being a matter for the public good. With this new loop in
 operation it will be possible to carry the
 public to and from the field with the
 greatest speed and especially with the
 George street line available for traffic as
 well as the Chapel street. t> | + the petition is granted 1t is the intention os the company to at once have the iron placed on the ground and
 commence the work of laying the tracks and complete them before any of the big 1 games.

HARTFORD CITK HALL UNSAFE.

 Structure.

Extensive Repairs Must be Made in tho
 Structure.
 Hartford, Sept. 11.-That the city hall of Hartford is unsafe and in danger ous condition will be the report of Building Inspector Fox to the common council at its next meeting, after an ex- animation of the building undertaken at the request of the city hall committee of the council.
 Inspector Fox is reticent as to details, but admits, however, that there are well-founded grounds for apprehension if the building is to be continued in use in it's present condition without exten- sive repairs. The greatest weakness of the ancient structure, which was turned over to the city in 1879, having previ- ously served as state house, is believed to be in the upper floors and stairways. A gathering of people on the second floor in the office of the street board, as sometimes occurs, might, in the opinion of the inspector, invite danger.

VENEZUELA EXASPRRATED.

 Characterised as Robbers Worthy oi
 Hanging-Prsss Very Violent.
 Willemstad. Curacoa, Sept. n.-The decisions in the cases of the big claims against Venezuela presented to the mixed tribunal began to be rendered yesterday. The Dutch and Belgian ar bitrators and the Venezuelan umpire delivered judgment condemning Vene- zuela to pay the Belgian company own ing the Caracas waterworks s2.0OO, GOO. Notwithstanding the fact that the meeting of the tribunal was declared to be secret the Venezuelan government immediately divulged it's decision every where and also started the semi-off1ciaI press complaining against Dr. Filz, the Dutch arbitrator, who is former presi- dent os the high court of the Dutch West Indies. and the other arbitrators, who are characterized as robbers wor- thy of hanging. The violence of the press is without precedent, going so far as to say the government will not ac- cept the judgments.
 The newspaper Pregonero in a strong ly worded article says We are Venezul clans. We will not accept these impo- sitions. The decisions of the arbitra- tors are joke. Do these old gentlemen suppose that Venezuela is a country of .savages in which they can slash right and lefs? It is necessary that they should know that they have people before them and General Castro. the head os she executive power. who will not accept such treatment. Know this, umpires and commissioners. and the sooner you know 1t the better it will be for you. You believe we are lambs, not having seen our claws. We are ti- gers and lions. Therefore, beware

STILL BXRRTING PRESSURE.
EFFORTS OF POWERS TO AVERT TURCo-BULGARIAN VAR.
Apparently Temporarily Successful but nleanttme the InoreasingIy Terrible Tale or AtrocIties Shows That sItua- lion is Daily Becoming Aggravated I Significance of French Decision to Send Squadron to Levant.

London, Sept. 12.-The powers are evil dently exerting pressure both at Con stantinople and Sofia to avert Turco- Bulgarian war, apparently with some temporary success; but meantime an in- ereasingly terrible tale of atrocities committed in Macedonia shows that the situation is daily become aggravated. The news that French squadron is go- ing to the Levant is also considered ominous and this step by the French government will probably be followed by. similar action on the part of the other powers.
 The Turkish embassy in London in Its denial, issued daily, of Turkish atrocities, to-day declares it to be lab soluely false that Ottoman troops are burning villages, the truth being that it is the Buigarians, who at the ap- proach of the troops use explosives to burn the villages before leaving them and then accuse the Turkish troops of such abominable deeds" The same communication maintains that there were only eight persons killed and fif- teen wounded in the affray at Beirut and that many fugitives to the Leba- non district are returning to their homes.
 From Vienna comes an unconflrmed report that Boris Sarafoff, the Mace donian leader, has been treacherously wounded near Monastir.
 Private letters from Monastir state that the Wallachian inhabitants of Krushevo fully confirm the charges made by the Bulgarians that the Tur- kish soldiers and Bashi- -Bazouks out ragged and slaughtered defenseless wo- men and children there, the atrocities continuing two days and nights. As the Wallaehians hate the Bulgarians their testimony in this instance carries considerable weight. Eilmi Pasha has admitted that thirty Bashi- Bazouks were concerned in the affair. He says E that these Bashi-Bazouks stole four thousand cattle, all of which have been aGJC0LOlCds lOEL OWIcAS, puL LllC lhllGI Say that not a hoof has been restored. "A pftiful condition of affairs still exists at Krushevo, where the wounded people are lying on the bare floors, with their undressed wounds bound in soiled rags. The only doctor in the town was killed and the drug store destroyed. The Tur- kish officials now will neither permit a doctor to go to the town nor the wound ed to be removed to Monastir for treat men. .@s
 The Daily Mails correspondent at Monastir in a dispatch dated Septen1- Der 8. claims that himself. British Vice Consul MacGregor and an American missionary named Bond are the intend- ed victims of Turkish revenge because they reported the Turkish atrocities. If their murder could be compassed it would be fathered upon the Bulgarians.

Late Reports shaw That tho Devasta- ton Is General. ..

London, Sept. 11.--While the details of the havoc wrought by the great storm which ragged over the British Isies yesterday are necessarily incom- plete, the reDorts coming in from all parts of the United Kingdom show that the devastation was general and it is feared that the loss of life is much greater than was at first supposed. Lloyds already report over fifty serious casualties to shipping. All sorts of vessels were caught in the gale and many foundered. several with their en- tire crews.
