PnTsBURG, Nov. 26.-Arrangements have been made by the managers of the different railroads to have meeting of the central traffic association at Chicago next Friday when another effort will be made to restore the east bound freight rates between Chicago and the seaboard. It is stated that an effort will be made to advance the rate on dressed beef from 35 cents to 60 cents and to in- crease the rate on cattle from 25 to 30. It is also proposed if possible to make the rate on grain 25 cents instead of 19 as at present. Some of the officials, however, do not think the meeting will result in any good, as they are of the opinion that the restoration of rates belong more properly to the trunk line asso- ciafi0n

CANDIDATES FOR THE oAB1NEr.

sherman Talked of For Secretary Of
 state-Blaine Said t0 be out of she
 Raee-The others Mentioned.
 WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-A gentleman who spent the campaign in Indiana and who holds very close relations to the President-elset, has just returned to this city. Without claiming to have any positive knowledge. he has some very definite opinions as to the cabinet. His views are giving in the follow ing interview: ''I am very confident that Gen. Harrison has thus far considered finally but one name for cabinet position. That is the name of John Sherman. MT. Sher- man, I think there can be no doubt, has been determined upon for Secretary of State, if he am very confident, is not under consideration in connection with the cabinet, but pre- sume he will be rendered the mission to Eng land. There is general belief in Indiana
 polls that the Treasury department is to go
 to New York and that Warner Miller will be
 the Secretary and that Chairman Quay can
 have the opportunity to suggest name for
 one cabinet place, and that, in that event, he
 will probably recommend the appointment
 of John Wananaker as Postmaster-G General.
 The State department, l am confident is
 fixed; the statement as to the other two ap-
 pointments is based upon the drift of opin-
 ion among the nearest friends of Gen. Har-
 rison."
 This is 8 statement made by a man who is on terms of the closest intimacy with the President-e elect and who has held those rela- tions for years. For that reason his views are perhaps. of more value than ought to be attached to the floating newspaper gossip of the day. His views are shared by others who have recently arrived from Indianapolis and who also had excellent opportunities fo1 observation. The most significant fact, as to which all who come from Indianapolis are agreed, is that MT. Blaine is not to be Score tary of State, and that, if the position has been rendered to him he has declined it. | A friend of Senator Sherman says it is the concurrent agreement of the best in- | formed that it will be for Senator Sherman | to decide whether he will prefer to retire | to private life at the age of seventy as Sec- retary of State or as Senator. At the expir- ation of his term as Senator he will be about | sixty nine years of age. His term of office | as Secretary of State would expire at the | same time. He could be reasonably assured | that his successor in the Senate would be 6 | Republican. He certainly would be Re- | publican until the Hext legislature would meet as he would be the appointee of Gov, | Foraker. Mir. Sherman has said he has re | nouneed all aspirations for the Presidency | and that the contest before the convention ol | 1888 was his last. Some of his friends art very confident that if rendered the position he will accept it and they believe he will b, offered the place at an early day, as th President elect will desire to have the bene6 of his advice in the selection of the rest O the Cabinet.

 The Bostons play in Hartford Thanksgiv- ing afternoon.
 Connors did some tall rushing and Perry, Valiant and Phelan were equal to every emergency. Newcomb also showed up bet ter than in any game this season. The play ing that Valiant did at center was of his old time Meriden kind that was mighty hard to beat. He did not make mistake during the whole evening. Journal, Saturday.
 The score was to in favor of Hartford, but it was no margin to speak of considering the way New Haven forced the play. Cot ter made fearful drive at Lations, but it was stopped. Cotter then made another try for goal, but Valiant stopped that. The ball bounded from Valiant out to Sealy, who created great enthusiasm as he caged it and widened the gap between the two scores in 1 1;20.-Hartford Record on Saturday's game.

 mer Under Sentence

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 26.-By the terms of the sentence imposed upon the Rev. Howard T. Widdemer by Bishop Whitaker, the oler- gyman was practically obliged to choose be- tween keeping his wife and remaining in the Protestant Episcopal church. He has now decided to retain his wife, and he has sent the following letter to the bishop of the diocese of Pennsylvania:

SPORTING MATTERS.

The Leaders Meet Their First Defeat A Close Game-Great Work by La tiOns and Lampkfn-Am old Tims Meriden Crowd 10 See she Game l Score to 3.
 The Meridens, after sweeping everything before them last week, had to go home last night choking down their first defeat. The game was of the slap-bang order, but New Haven came out on top, 4 to g.
 The greatest feature of the game was the work of Lations and Lempkin. The former made more stops than Lampkin, and showed that he is Lampkin's superior, as he plays his position with far better judg- ment. Lampkin plays recklessly. and leaves his cage repeatedly, while Lations didn't once leave his. He has caught the crowd.
 Perry is also favorite, but in all frank ness it must be said, that while he is first class rusher, he is poor center. He left Valiant uncovered many times last night. He did no blocking that amounted to much. His place is clearly in the rush 1ine. On the whole the home team played finely. New comb didn't try to play all alone, but passed at every opportunity, and so did all the rest. Connors aad NeWconb did great work, and were well backed up by Valiant. Such work as Lations did at goal has rarely been seen in this city.
 Hannaford has not improved any for he repeatedly takes it into his head to rush and leave no one in front of Lampkin. Cunning ham is agile as ever, and took every rush.
 The game started fast and furious, Gun ningham taking the rush. For sixteen min- utes the visitors were mostly on the defen- sive. The spectators seemed on the verge of insanity by the way they howled at the work of the home team in keeping Lampkin's feet flying until he had thirteen stops, while Lations had made five, all brilliant ones. Finally Perry passed to Connors, and the lat ter to Newcomb, who made difficult drive between his legs, caging the ball. A foul was called on each Valiant and Haunaford, for stopping the ball while on the floor. The second goal was short but sweet, Neweomb again cagiag the ball on pass from Connors Counors made the third goal in quicker time still. New Haven made the fourth on a pass from Valiant to Newcemb, to Connors.
 Up to this time the home team had played superbly, but during the rest of the game they weakened and the visitors came near winning. Meriden now began to get in its work. Cunningham made the visitors first; and the sixth goal, after Perry had been feul- ed for holding and Lations had made some magnificent stops, Connors esged the ball, taking it away from Hannaford. Hannaford held onto Oonnors and had a foul called on him. Then he caged the ball out of spite.
 In the eighth 8 foul was called on Valiant for stopping the ball while on the surface. This was New Haven's third foul and it took of goal. After Lations had stopped four hotly hit balls DunniDg made magnificent run past the whole New Haven team and caged the ball. He was loudly applauded. Meriden then tied the score, but as Lampkin made foul in goal the tie did not last long and the game ended in favor of New Haven. The hissing of the referee, Stumeke, was dis graceful The score;

OFF TO TEE RESCUE AGAIN.

Not satisfied with the work already &C., complished, Captain James and his noble band of twelve started for Atlantic Hill, seven miles from the beach, where two more vessels were reported shore. Here they were joined by Captain James Anderson of the Humane society's station. at Crescent Beach and Captain Brown of the government sta- tion at North Soituste, and their efforts were directed to the rescue of five men who could be seen clinging to the rigging of one of the vessels. The sea was running higher than was ever known before at this point and it was thought impossible to reach the wreck with the surf boat The Hunt guns were brought into use and two lines were almost simultaneously fired across her foretop by Captains Anderson and Brown. The men in the rigging eagerly seized the line and the hawser was pulled aboard, but just as the buoy was about to be sent cut the line became fouled and the buoy was rendered useless. At this critical mo- ment three young men of Cohassel named Ainslee, Antoine and Salvador manned a small dory and attempted to clear the line. h this they were unsuccessful.

 The volunteer savers after seeing the res- cued men well provided for continued their patrol of the beach and at daybreak sighted a third vessel ashore about half 8 mile north west of the Abbott. She could not be reached by the brooches buoy and as their surf boat had been demolished the tireless men started for the Strawberry Hill station four miles away and returned with the Humane socie- tvs boat built by Burgess after model by Captain James. With this boat, which with stood the huge breakers, the crew of seven men was landed on the beach. This schooner was the three master Bertha F. Walker Phil adelphia for Boston, also coal laden.

Then the tide being very high and the breakers tremendous with a strong northeast wind driving them on the Esplande, which runs along the whole front of the Manhattan Beach company's property, about 750 feet, was thrown high in the air and destroyed from one end to the other. afterwards the depot at the west end of the marine railroad was swept out to sea bodily and in few minutes more fully one third of the track of the road was also carried away. The Brighton pavilion was partially carried away and it is feared that the rest of the buildings will go at the next high tide 1t the storm continues. Super1n- tendent Mott of the Manhattan Beach com- pany says that the sea has not run so high as it did to-day since 1878. The Manhattan Hotel and the Oriental Hotel are intact.

The surf-boat was then put out upon its third perilous journey. The waves were enormous, at times lifting the boat as high as the maintopsof the disabled schooner, but the brave crew never faltered and at last reached the vessels stern and after a terrible struggle lasting over an hour four men were saved from the rigging. The fifth was found to be a corpse and his body was left frozen in the ships shrouds. The surf boat then headed for the shore and safe landing was effected amid the cheers of the spectators These sailors belonged to the schooner Fl. O. Higginson, Captain Fales, from Hillsboro, N. B., with plaster for New burRh, N. Y. When the storm struck the vessel Captain Fales and one seaman refused to go aloft and they were swept oyerboard. The others took to the rigging where the steward, L. Brems of East Boston, being un- able to stand the cold, died early Sunday morning and was lasked to the mast If the vessel rides out the storm, as now seems pos sible, she will be removed tomorrow.
 About one thousand feet north of the Hig- ginson, high and dry upon the sandy beach within reaching distance of Damon's Pavil ion lies the three-masted schooner Hattie E. Eaton Boston for Port Spain, with general cargo The captain and crew were in the rigging for eight hours before she struck, but then succeeded in reaching the shore in safety in their boat. A young son of Rev. Dr. Plumb of Boston, Mass, who was on board for pleasure trip, was saved. The vessel will probably be saved.
