Grinneu, April 26.-The fire IN

yesterday originated in the work room
where also a large stock of material
for mounting and envelopes was stored.
The fire spread to this material and
from there into the operating room. In
this room were the cameras, some OF
them the best to be had, and the back
grounds. The wallsl of this room were
decorated with pictures. The contents
Of the room being so inflammable the
fire spread rapidly about and found
it's way into the sales and reception
room where more and better pictures
were hung upon the walls which also
were decorated with burlaps, thus add
ing to the danger. The fire caught in
many of these pictures and they were
either destroyed outright or so badly
damaged as to be total loss. The fix
lures also were badly damaged.
The second story rooms were occu-
pied by e. B. Brande and Milo Smith
and Grouse, student. No fire damage
occurred in these rooms but the dam
age from smoke and water was con-
siderable.
The insurance on the building
amounted to $4,000, divided between the
following companies: The American Of
Newark, $1,000; The Niagara of Nj
agara Falls, $4,000. Insurance on stock
was in the same companies the first
named carrying $500 and the latter
5000, making total of $4,000, $4,000

tents.
