the news was received in Martinsburg
today by Mr.. John J. Hetzel in tel
egram from Senator Elkius, and is
absolutely reliable. The appointment
of Captain Getzendanner will be made
by President Roosevelt as soon as he
mer home.
Some months ago the postoffice de-
partment is said to have sent Inspector
Allen to Charles Town to make an in.
vestigatiou into the affairs of the office
and the official conduct of Postmaster
Porterfield. 1t is also said that the
report of Inspector Allen was not sat-
isfsctory to Mr.. Porterteld The up-
shot of the trouble was that the re-
moyal. or rather the determination not
TO again appoint Mfr. PoIter6eld. was
determined upon. altho Ugh he had the
solid backing of the Dayton. or
machine" people. and was also able
to muster a petition of considerable
length. When this became known the
backing of Mr.. Porterfield was trans
ferred TO Assistant Postmaster Brad.

made to secure the appointment for
him.
The ti-Dayton element became ex-
ceedingly active in the meantime.
and proposed Captain Getzendanner
for the position. Captain Getzeroan.
ner NOT only enlisted the aid of some
very influential people of jefferson
county. but was also backed. by even
stronger influences in Berkeley. Just
World cannot say, but it. is pretty
broadly hiuted that the chief factor
IN the appointment of Captain Getz-
endanner was prominent republican
of this city. whose defeat for the nom.
nation for congress last spring is said
to have been due to broken pledges on
the part of the Jefferson county dele
cation, and who took advantage of his
Influence with the senior senator to
paw off this score with interest.
The appointment OF CAPTAIN Getz-
endanner will result in giving con-
troll of political affairs in Jefferson
county to the anti-Davton people, who
have been on the out size for several
years, and will bring about different
alignment of republican forces in that
section.

ALBANY DISASTER.
An Employees of Myers Company
Now Accounted For.

ALBANY, N. X, Aug. 10.Ali Of the
rho were employed in the John q.
Myers company store, which collapsed
here, have now been accounted for.
Out of seventy-five cash boys thirty
are still missing, and some Of these
are probably still In the ruins. 1t is
now believed that the death list will
be much smaller than was anticipated.
The body Of Miss Winifred Kelly
was taken out of the building at IL
o'clock. 1t was the twelfth body found.
With the death of Miss Mary McAvoy
In the hospital the dead now number
thirteen.
OF those now in the hospital Helen
Donahue is believed to be near the
point of death and Mrs. William Borst
of Window, Mimi, a shopper has only
an even chance of recovery 1T Is be-
lieved that all the other injured, fifty
In number, will get we'll
The collapse of the department store,
teen persons and probably the fatal in
Jury Of two others, will be investigated
by special commission.
b While the grim work of digging into
the ruins goes ON, the authorities have
begun their official investigation with
view to placing the responsibility for
this the worst disaster In the history
of this old city.
Some one is responsible for the hor-
ror, and ii is the intention of Mayor
Gaus and Commissioner Cantine of the
department of public safety to find out
whom il Is. While there seems to be
no doubt now that the undermining Of
one Of the key brick piers beneath the
basement floor caused the collapse, it
is the view of the authorities that some
one should have seen that no such
chance was taken.
THE person or persons guilty Of the
negligence which caused this accident
will be punished to the full extent Of
the law" said the mayor Every guilty
person will be punished"
