STATE GOVERNORS.
Portraits Thai Adorn the Capitol
others 10 Come.

TRENTON. Oct. "A, 1891 The reception
room o. the Governor az the State House
now looks like an art gallery. The pic.
lures of Governors Mcclellan and Ran
dolph have been hung at either end They
now keep company with the picture Of
the war Governor, Joel Parker, and Gov
errors Wall and Vroom. Other portraits
Of dead Governors are to be placed in
position as soon as they can be secured.
The idea of hanging the pictures of de-
ceased Governors originated with Execu-
tive Clerk Edward Fox and he has been
at work securing these works of art for
some years. The next to be hung will be
that Of Ex-Governor Ward. A letter was
received this week from Marcus L. Ward
informing the Executive Clerk that the
family of tue Ex-Governor would be
pleased TO present the State with a por-
trait, as soon as d suitable one could
be prepared. Ex- Governors Bedie, Lud-
low and Price, the three prominent liv-
ing ex-Gogernors. will provide in their
wills for an excellent painting to be
placed in the gallery. The hanging of
the pictures OF Mcclellan and Randolph
TINS week has more or less historical
Significance. The picture of General
George Il. Mcclellan is an excellent one
aud was executed by Charles de Bodisco
Templeman OF New YORK. 1t was pur-
chased by fluids left over from the Nc
Clellan Memorial Fund, which was
raised to erect the monument over the
grave of the dead hero in Riveryiew
Cemetery An effort was made to secure
portrait from the Mcclellan family.
but they were Indifferent to the demands
of the State.
The portrait of Theodore T. Randolph
was given by Secretary of State II. C.
KELSEY. who was warm personal friend
of the ex Governor. Governor ALBEIT has
a picture of Randolph back of his official
him.
The picture of Joel Parker was the Gift
OF the Joel Parker Association of New
ark. The members we're asked to present
the picture to the State and did SO will
ingly. There is another portrait OF the
Ex-Governor which hung in the old As
sembly chamber. and will have place in
the new one when IL is finished. The
admirers OF the Ex-Governor are passing
away. for good portrait OF him is now
stose. The portrait of Carrot
ID. Wall, who was Governor for a
short time. was presented by ex-Mayor
q. ID. w Vroom OF this city. He was
elected Governor In 1929 by the LsGisla
ture and declined the honor and served
as United States Senator from 1886 to
1s41. G. ID. Vroom, the donor OF the por
trait. is descendant of The Ex-Governor
on his mothers side. He also gave a pic
ture of Peter ID Vroom, his father, who
was Governor from 1888 to 1885, He was
at one time Minister to Russia. There Is
an excellent bust of Ex-Governor Bedie

the damage being confined entirely to
the block where the fire started, and
the building standing next on
the left, and occupied by Owen
W. Jones, not being injured to
exceed So. The fire was practically
out at II O'Clock, and at $50 the last EN-
CINE left the scene.
The origin of the fire is mystery.
Chief Runge states that it started on the
second floor of the building occupied by
Lindsay Bros, but the firm state that
this is impossible, as there was nothing
there To start a fire at that hour. There
was stove in the rear portion of the
Minneapolis Glass cOnDany's store. but
the fire was not seen there until the
other portion of the building was all in
tianes. The burned building is four
story brick block and is owned by
BARLEY Cooper, who places the value of
1t ut $4,000. 1t Is now regarded as
total loss, but if the walls are found
Ia he still sound that will
reduce the loss about $1,000.
One side of the building was occupied
by Lindsay Bros. who used it for the
storage of agricultural implements, and
the other side by the Minneapolis Glass
company.
1t recently became necessary to re-
model the building on account of the
lowering of the Minneapolis a. st. Louis
tracks in the rear. and the fire walls be-
tween the two sides was not quite com
plete. Ii was owing to this fact that
the flames so easily spread to the ware
rooms of the glass company.
The insurance on the Minneapolis
Glass company was $4,000. On the
building the Insurance was $l2,500 The
l4lnd,ay Bros insurance was $50. 500.
The minneapolis Glass company has
secured temporary quarters in the
Hlnkls building, on Sec0n street, near
Third avenue north. and the Lindsey
Bros. have taken the Security ware
house on First street north. Mr.. Cooper
states that he will rebuild at once.
