PERFECT ouIETUDE.

Clerk Wilson In Charge-Possession OF the
Flesh Pots for n Century-Sensational
Reports Denounced rs Libels on Hardy
County People.
SpeciGi Dtspateh 70 ne Register
KEYsER, w. Va, January 6.-The Loeb
Wilson war over the county clerks Office in
Hardy county has been settled for the pres
ent, Mr.. Wilson taking possession OF the
Office until the matter is decided by the
courts. All excitement subsided yester-
day and perfect quiet prevails to-day.
Young Wilson, brother of clerk-elect Viii
son, who was seriously injured by son OF
old Clerk Loeb, is MOI out Of danger. How
ever, it is thought he will recover.
Geo. Aston, who was shot yesterday
during q barroom alteration, growing out
of the county clerk trouble, is not deal as
reported. The party who did the shooting
is in jail. Loeb and his family predeceii
sors have had possession Of the county
clerks Office for uearly century. he has
seven sons9ho were anxious to keep in the
family for future generations. The sensa-
tional special to the New York World and
other metropolitan papers, that the women
and children had fed from the town and
that artillery had been sent for, were false
and libel on the citizens Of Hardy county.
All the reports of sensational character
sent out are without foundation.

SUFFERING IN ANDALUsIA.

Dreadful Scenes in Alhama-Seeded Re-
pairs for the Earthquake Districts.
MADRID, January ct was noticed IN
the vicinity of Granada that numerous sui
phur springs ceased to flow when the the
first shoks were felt, but burst forth again
on the following day with loud Subterra
mean explosions and volumes of hot vapor.
They have since flowed as before. The
scenes as Albania are described as terrible.
The silence was broken by showers OF
broken stones. Despite the risk, hun
dreds of persons remain among the
ruins searching for their property. Par
ents are weeping over the places where their
children are buried, imploring soldiers to
dig for and recover their bodies. The Gov
ernor has been on tour of inspection
through the ruined districts and has dis
tributed relief to the sufferers. The wealthy
inhabitants have fed, but the poorer classes
seem to be resigned to their fate and pay no
attention to the recurring shocks. Unless
generous and speedy relief is afforded much
sickness is sure to follow owing to the in
clemency of the weather. Grada was less
injured. The Alhambra Cathedral was
only slightly damaged.

A Member of n Private Banking Firm
Leaves With Its Wealth.
WATKINS, n. Y, January 6.-Albert P.
Cook, of the firm of Cook & Sackett, private
bankers in Havana, Schuyler county, has
defaulted and disappeared. He left his
home in Havana Sunday night, drove to
Elmirs, distance of eighteen miles, and IS
supposed to have taken an earl y train on
the Erie railroad for Canada, which he
could reach in six or seven hours from
there. B. G. Sackett, Cooks partner,
furnished sll the money in the bank,
Cook being simply manager. Sackett
was worth about $4,000, but the de-
falcation will clean him out All the pro
petty belonging to Cook which he can tnd
IS $500 worth Of poor land. The list OF de-
poaits Is supposed to have amounted to
$50. 900. Cook left the books in such shape
that nothing can be stated definitely until
Sackelts assignee gets to work. Cook was
a nephew Of Charles Cook, founder OF Ia
7ana, ard Of Cooks Academy at that place,
and has stood very high in the community,
His Geialcation is q profound surprise.
Cook told his wife, whom he left IN Havana,
that be was going 10 the Pacific coast, but
his friends think he is now in Canada. and
telegrams have been sent to various cities TO
chiefs of police to arrest him. DESCRIPTIONS
of him have also been telegraphed.

camp was gone. A shepherds sling such
as is used by Mexicans, was found near the
scene of the tragedy, covered with bloc l.

rHE pEvm,s JouRNALrs,r.

The false enterprise Of metropolitan
pspers which encourage local resident re-
porters to write for pay the sensational lies
that are constantly appearing in the said
publications, receives well merited rebuks
in special telegram, in this mornings
RrGlSrER, from MsOre6el8, which refers to
the LOEB-WmsOS embrogRo. One can
well imagine how indignant these innocent
people are over the libel that has been per
petrs!sd on Hardy county. A personal con-
fict between two local politicians and their
respective friends has been magnifed into a
sort Of general uprising in which all the
good citizens Of the county participated, and
the libel circulated to the four points of the
compass.
It'the citizens Of Wheeling were provoked
when the sensational dispatch was sent all
over the land last September that the city
was irreEievably insolyent and her credit
had gone the way of the Marine Banks,
what must be the proyocatiOn to the staid
old farmers of HardyG
On reading this dispatch some people
viii say it is the fault Of
the imPeeunious reporters who
are anxious to turn an honest penny. The
fault is not with them so much as it is
with the Journals which are anxious to dish
up such sbOmniable "hogwash." The re-
porter is looking for pay and knows what
sort Of stuff pays best. When the journals
which encourage this false, and almost
criminal species of news, are made to real.
ize in practical and pecuniary way, that
the blame rests with them and not with the
reporter, then, and not till then will the
devilment cease.
