GEORGETOWN,
A BREAK IN THE CANAL,

n
Day before yesterday break occurred in one
Of the banks Of the Chesapeake and Ohio canal
on that portion known as the fourteen-mile
level. 1t was caused, it is thought, by a gradual
unseen weakening of the side. Yesterday En-
gineer Nicholson started from this Office for the
scene at the break and will order the repairs
made rapidly as numerous workmen can
make them. Probably three days viii be spent
in rebuilding the side and AZ many more in
drawing of and letting on the water. In the
meantime traffic on this portion Of the water
canal feel proud of the success they have had
this year, boats having come in by the scores
weekly, and but two comparatively small de-
lays occurring since the season opened.
CONTRACTOR AND DRIVER ARRESTED.
Officer Curren yesterday placed Contractor
Walker and five of his wagon drivers under ar
rest for violating the law by hauling over the
unprotected sidewalk ON the north side of Road

THE CABINET OFFICERS.
They Are Gratifed at the denomination of
President Harrison.


Postmaster General Wanarneker was at the
department this morning attending to the BUSH
ness matters that were brought before him.
He leaves, rs Is his custom. this evening to
spend Sunday 1T his home in Philadelphia Mr..
W anamaker il, Of course, much pleased with
the action of the minneapolis convention He
believes thu. the President is the strongest
nomination that could have been made and is
confident Of the success OF the ticket.
whether he viii continue in the cabinet in
case the republican party meets with success
next November is a matter about which he has
said a good deal privately. His friends are of
the opinion that he does not wish to serve an
other four years and on March he viii step
aside for some one else. That Is regarded as
his personal preference at this time, but IL Ii
within the range Of possibility that he can be
induced to remain at the head of the Post Office
Department
In the event that Mr. wanamaker retires it Is
thought that Col Whitfield. the first assistant
postmaster general will receive consideration
at the hands Of the President in connection
with naming Mr.. Wsnamaker's successor. Col
whiefield was one Of the most active workers for
the President at Minneapolis and he will proba-
bly be prominent in the conduct OF the
Campaign
sEcRKrARY NoBLk REJoIcEs-
Secretary Noble re1oices that nls cnief re-
eeiyed the nomination He was an enthusiastic
advocate of Mr.. Harrison and believed that he
was the only logical candidate. He will no
doubt do all he can to secure Mr.. Harrison's re-
election. But il Will be without any motive OF
self interest ns he intends to retire from tbs
cabinet on the 4th of March next In this
decision the Secretary is fixed. He wants to
retire to private life and he proposes TO do 1t,
Land Commissioner Carter Is naturally
spoken Of Is his successor. Mr.. Carter is
politician of recognized ability, and he has
been putting in some effective work for the
President. His ambition has never been salts
fed with the rather limited field offered by the
general land office and he has announced his
intention to retire at the close of the present
fiscal year. He would not probably reject a
place In the cabinet.

cheek bones are high and - eyes are deeply
set. He Is direct and straightforward in con-
versation, absolutely true to his purposes,
patient to the hast degree, but quick and
sure in action. Mr.. Reid has had little
experience as an Office holder. In his earlier
life he was librarian Of the House of Represent
atives. President Hayes desired to appoint
him minister to Germany, but he declined
The same Office was again rendered by Presi-
dent Garfield, and again declined When Pres
ident Harrison appointed him minister to
