the yoke of duty drags him from the dancing
and flickering light of the log fire in his
"snuggery" he obeys the summons with
prompt but unwilling steps.
He loves his home as only one who has
experienced the discomforts and hardships
of war can, and as every stone of the re
modeled Gubernatorial Mansion was laid
under bis personal supervision he feels a
closer tie binding him to the mansion than
most Governors, who merely looked upon it
sa a temporary stopping place.
Hardly a vestige of the old mansion re
mains to-day. The old walls have been cut
and charming windows inserted, and the in
side covered with artistic wainscoting and
handsomelv carved woodwork, so tnac what
vas once a lot of dingy, ill-draped rooms
liave been translormed, like by iairy fingers,
into a charmingly arranged set of apart
ments, laultlessly adorned, curtained and
upholstered. The alterations made by Gov

ernor Beaver probably cost $300,000. "But,"
ays his Excellency, "I'm a bit of a builder
myself, and I calculate that the State got
$1 25 worth for every dollar expended."
The old Gubernatorial mansion was built
in the days of straight-up-and-down archi
tecture, and was an excellent specimen of
the most conservative up-and-down style.
From the front it had every appearance of a
pair of very ordinary dwelling houses, dis
tinctly separated from each other. There
were two doors and two sets of windows, and
a great spout down the center of the front
more than emphasized the prevailing idea
that one end of the mansion was exiled from
the other.
"When Governor Pattison took up his resi
dence for four years on the banks of tbe
placid Susquehanna river he beautified the

parlors and adjoining smaller rooms. "Per
haps," laughingly said the present Chief
Magistrate of the Commonwealth in showing
a visitor over the house, "perhaps he in
tended to finish it when he came back, but I
got in ahead of him and saved him the
trouble. If the people of this glorious State
see fit to send him here again he will find a
perfect home awaiting him."
After Governor Beaver assumed the hand
ling of the Gubernatorial carving knife and
fork he started at once to make a dining
roosa worthv of the Keystone State. Such
ertenBive alterations were found necessary
to perfect tbe sanitary arrangements of the
Bouse that it was included to carry the al
terations further. The old brick front vas
torn out, and a new brownstone one too V its
place, one of the doorways was made into a
most charming hallway for private use,
while the other one, a plainer affair, does
service on other occasions. The old spout
which so effectively divided the structure
was torn away, and in its place a double
bay-window was reared, a bond of union

which rmlv joined into one beautiful
structure what had to all appearances been
twain.
"Salve," in letters unmistakable, is the
greeting one gets from every side in the
dining room. It is, indeed, n model apart
ment in every way what a dining room
should be. The morning sunlight comes
through a great bow-window which occupies
a space where once no windows were. The
MANSION.
kitchen and pantry doorways are hidden
behind a huge sideboard laden with dainty
glass, but nothing resembling a wineglass is
found among its crystal burden.
The Governor's snuggery is everything its
name implies. It is his home office. Its
contents show the trjits of the occupant, and
everywhere one sees indisputable evidences
of the General's confessed characteristic,
"love of country." During his administra
tion he has gathered together great numbers
of books and other records of the great strife.
They have all been crowded into his "snug
gery." In the corner is a triangular flag,
the mark ot his old corps, on the wall is a
picture of the great soldier, Wipfield Scott
Hancock, and everywhere is found some
emblem of patriotism staring the visitor in
the face.
Nowhere has the hand of the decorator
and artist been more apparent than here.
Tne room had always done service as an
office, but until a few years ago was a sort
of a dumping ground for the discarded
furniture from the rest of the household,
and ttre ill-matched and much-worn furni
ture shown out in strong contrast. It is now
a poem.
jThe north half of the second story is the
living room, as the Gubernatorial group
choose to call the sitting room. It contains
all a well equipped sitting room should con
tain. The manv excellent qualities found in
5Irs. Benver have made a warm place for
her in the hearts of conservative Harris
burg society. The people of the Biver
row are slow to make new acquaint
ances or friends, but the mistress of
Keystone Hall walked right into their
good graces, and now holds them firmly
around her. Modestly and gracefully she

presides over the household, keeping a care
ful personal supervision over all the details
of a great household. Everywhere one sees
the traces of the fingers of a watchful mother
and careful housewife. Mrs. Beaver is fond
of flowers, and daily she scatters through
the house bunches of orchids or other simple
blooms. '
Although there has been but few brilliant
social events during Governor Beaver's oc
curianiy, there has been an immense amount
of informal entertaining. Almost constant
ly during the winter season some of the
"guests' rooms" on the third floor havebeen
occupied, and not infrequently they are all
filled.
The interior views which accompany this
sketch are simples of the work of Hugh
Beaver, whose efforts in the line of amateur
photography have made him known to the
country. As General Harrison and the
Presidcntal party passed through Harris
burg on their way to "Washington, the train
stopped for a few minutes at the depot. It
was the chance that young Beaver had been
waiting for.
Pushing through the crowd, he made his
way into the car or the inaugural group,
and, introducing himself, asked the President-elect
if he would step on the platform
and give the amateur photographer a flash.
Mr. Harrison was delighted and brought
the entire party, who posed, on the steps and
platform while the vouth caught an excel
lent view of the distinguished party. A
copy of the negative now hangs in the
White House. The lad remains at Belle
fonte at school during the winter.
It was during the term of Governor
James Pollock that the idea of the pur
chase of a house for the Governor's use was
agitated. The Governors up to 1862 had
rented their residences, as the State, previ
ous to that year had no Executive Mansion.
"What is more, they paid the rent out of
their salary, which was only $4,000. Gov
ernor Bigler resided on Front street near
Pine, in a little brick house that is stil
standing. Governor Pollock was more pre
tentious, and rented what was at the time
considered one of the finest honses in Har
risburg. It stands on Second strert below
the public square, a three-story mansion of
Philadelphia pressed brick. "When he
retired from office Governor Packer
rented the same house and occupied it
during his term, and he in turn was suc
ceeded bv Governor Cnrtin. In 1862 tbe
citizens of Harrisburg decided to present the
State with an executive mansion in the fash
ionable part of the city, and an ordinance
was passed itf Council making an appropria
tion of the purchase money. After consid
erable dickering they succeeded in buying
the three-story brick residence of "Wells
Coverley, on the corner of Front street and
Barbara avenue. Mr. Coverley was a noted
hotel proprietor, tne brother-in-law ot Will
iam Calder, General Simon Cameron's busi
ness partner in many enterprises. In build
ing his mansion he made it on what was then
considered an exceedingly commodious plan,
and at the side was a large yard. The entire
property was bought for $20,000, paid lor by
the city ot Harrisburg, and deeded to the
State for all time to be the residence of the
Governor.
Alter Governor Curtin took up the lines
he continued for several years to occupy the
Second street mansion, and he was the first
Governor to occupy the Coverly mansion
after it had been deeded to the State. Some
of the old furniture and hangings remained
in the house when the great war Governor
moved in, and so engrossed was he in the
stirring times of the war that little attention
was paid to the adornment ot the interior.
Despite his activity during those exciting
times, and notwithstanding his almost con
stant presence at "the front" amid the din

of battle.there were never more brilliant and
numerous social affairs. The old Governor
was renowned for his hospitality, and an in
vitation to the house meant a royal good
time. There were receptions constantly, and
the latchstring was always out. Tbe mem
bers of tbe Legislature made the Governor's
bouse almost their home. The great gather
ings overtaxed the capacity of the building.
and a few years after it was found necessary
to enlarge it. This was done by building
the twin house on the unoccupied lot which
had been transferred to the State with the
house. The addition was completed daring
Geary's incumbency.
Of late years the hand of death has
hushed the sounds of throngs and merry
voices, and but little in the line of social
festivities have taken place. During Mr.
Pattison's term on the hill he lost a son,
hich grieved him beyond measure and put
an end to all entertainments. Soon alter
Governor Beaver's inauguration a most en
tertaining and pretty child of his a boy
died, and a gloom was cast over the place.
General Beaver, however, gave one public
receptiou to the members of the Legislature
last winter, and it was indeed a brilliant
affair. Because of Mrs. Beaver's great
popularity the swell people of River row,
who had before sturdily refused to mingle
with the Legislature, were induced to be
present The great barrier which had long
existed was broken away, and the blue blood J

of Lochiel held out its hand to the denizens
of Capitol Hill. ,
Standing, as it does, flush with the build
ing line, the beautiful structure does not
show to an advantage. "With spacious
grounds around it, the structure would make
a much greater impression on the sightseer.
But from the inside no more sweeping or
more desirable view could be desired than
the picture which presents itself from the
Executive homestead. The broad Susque
hanna flows almost at the verj door, and
with the undulating lines' of Cumberland
county's romantic scenery for a back
ground a most entrancing picture is pre
sented. In order that there might ba more spacious
grounds around the place Xt has been sug
gested that the properties adjoing the build
ing on the south be purchased and demol
ished. Then the erection of a small wing of
design similar to the front could be erected,
and the State would own a mansion sur
passed by that of none of its citizens.

OTHER GENERAL KEWS OP THE COURTS
A petition was filed in the United States

titioners are James B. Boss, George B. Hill,
Robert S. Hays, James Laughlin, Jr., and
B. F. Jones, executors of James Laughlin,
deceased, and "William H. Kemble. holders
of income bonds of the road to the extent of
of 5748,200. They state that bondholders to
the extent of $2,500,000 are interested. The
litigation was commenced in 1884 by a bill
in equity filed by the Pennsylvania Bail
road Company against the Allegheny Val
ley Railroad Company to determine the
rights of the income bondholders and the
validity of the liens of mortgages of March
31, 1869, tor 810.000.000, and of September 1874,
for a like amount.
When the Mil was filed the defendant com
panv was Indebted $31,117,829. and on December
31. 1889.excluslve of capital stock, was indebted
J38.459.09a The Indebtedness has been steadily
increasing ever since the receiver took hold.
Tne petitioners believe it impossible to operate
the road as advantageously with a receiver as
though It was in control of the owners and
operated by them. There is no chance of re
ceiving anything On their bonds or coupons
while it is in the hands of the recelver.and they
tberefore atk that the road be sold. They
wish it sold at pnblic sale, freed and
discharged from all liens except the first
mortgages dated March 1, 1866, to secure HW,
000. After the sale the proceeds shall be first
applied to the sayment of the first mortgage,

and persuaded tbe bov to accompany them. Ho
did not know It was his mother, but went a
short ways. They then attempted to carry him
away by force, dragging him some distance, but
he finally escaped from them and ran home.
Mrs. Myers states that she believes that the
boy's mother wants to steal him away and take
him ont of the jurisdiction ot the Court. She
doesn't think his welfare wonld be improved if
he was with his mother, and asks that she be
appointed the guardian of his person so as to
have legal charge of him.
L1TELI BIDDERS.
Heirs Hun Up Property 811.604 Higher
Than the SberilFa Valuation.
There was some lively bidding in the Or
phans' Court yesterday in the proceedings to
partition the estate of the late Hugh Forrester.
The estate consists of real estate in Bellevue
borough, and the heirs commenced proceed
ings to have It partitioned. The Sheriff acting
as commissioner divided tbe property into
eleven purparts, and placed a valuation on each
share. Tbe total valuation fixed was SU.40Q.
The heirs were given tbe privilege of bidding
for the different purparts, and yesterday was
the retnrn day for them to elect to take or re
fuse at the valuation. Sealed bids were received
for every share, and when they were opened in
court yesterday it was found that for every
share the price offered was from $300 to 31,600
higher than tbe fixed valuation.
The property was awarded the highest bid
der, and when all had been sold it was found
that it bad brought S23.004, or 511, GOi more than
the valuation fixed by the commissioner.
AN ANSWER FILED.
Attorney title Co ok Denlea Any Fraud
In
Procuring a Judgment Note.
W. P. McCook, trustee for tbe Buguesne
National Bank, yesterday filed his answer to
the petition of Gnmbert & Huey asking for a
stay of tbe execution issued against them for
over 16,000. Mr. McCook denies that there
was any fraud in procuring the j ndgment note
in tbe case. On tbe contrary, the defendants
executed tbe judgment in the presence of and
with the consent of their attorney, M. A.
Woodward. They afterward asked to have it
cancelled, bntltwasa plain judgment for the
actual amount owed the bank, and he refused
to return the note. There is no reason to stay
the execution, and he asks that the petition be
dismissed.
DOMESTIC INFELICITY.
More Suits for Divorces Entered by Unhappy
Men and Women.

Elizabeth Hell against her husband, Charles
Heil. She alleges that shortly after their mar
riage her husband became cold and indifferent

ing to shoot her and drove ber out of the bouse,
