THREE ARRESTS ON ARSON CHARGE IN PAPIN FIRE CASE Proprietors and Clerk of Papin Bros' Market, In Which This Morn ing's Fire Was Locat ed, Placed in Custody. EACH DEMANDED A HEARING Fire Threatened to De stroy Old City Build ing But lias Finally " Squelched With Loss of About $1,000. A small blaze, accompanied by a Urge amount of smoke, in the meat market of Papin Brothers in the basement of the old city bu..ding, baffled the efforts of the fire men to extinguish it for gome time at an early hour this morning, the alarm being rung in at 2 50 o'clock. By good work the firemen kept the fire confined to the base ment, but the stores of Perry & Camp on the first fl or of the building were tilled with smoke. The total loss to building and contents will be about 1000. A rigid investigation of the scene of the (ire was ma do this forenoon by (state's Attorney Seiiter, Grand .Juror Scott, City Attorney Gordon, Chief of Police Brown, with Chief Campbell of the lire depart ment and other members of the depart ment. They went through the Papin market, and discovered evidences which led them to think that the fire was set, in at least two places. One of them was in the office, but this blaze had burned Itself out, another was in a corner of the store and here the greatest danger was done, the fire communicating to the woodwork and spreading all over the store. A third place was under the sausage cutter, but there was uot so much certainty regarding this. 1 Fire Chief Campbell and the police found pieces of paper which evidently had been saturated with kerosene; it was also stated that the sawdust on the floor hud every Indication of being sprinkled with oil. A a result of the investigation made by the officials, three warrants wereswotn out and served just before noon, on Joseph and John Papin, of the firm of Papin Bros, and Philip Bell their clerk, charg ing them with arson In setting fire to the building. In addition, the charge of adul tery was preferred against Joeph Papin. Being arraigned before Judge Fay all three respondents demanded a hearing, and the court granted one for this afternoon at 2 o'clock. Bail in eaeh of the arson oases was fixed at $1,000 and In the adultery case against the older Papin $500. Beil was allowed logo on hlsowu reougnlxanoe, and C. W. Papin, the liveryman, was rec ognlred as bondsman for both his broth ers. James Wheeler, a clerk In Prindle & AvertH's store, says that Bell, one of the respondents, purchased of him at about 45.15 last evening' two quarts of kerosene, carrying it away in a small lard pail which had a brown cover. Bell Is well known about the eity, having been em ployed as a meat clerk In various shops. He Is 33 years of age. The Papins have been employed as clerks In several stores, and about three months ago, went Into the meat business. After concluding his investigation State's Attorney Senter said, "The fire was Incendiary." Chief Brown declared positively that the fire was set, and the other oflieials concurred In the state ment. The fire was discovered by two patrol men, David Faulkner and David MoPhee, and the alarm was rung in by the former from box 2-1 a few minutes before 3 o'clock. The fire had probably been smouldering for some time previously, as John Fraser.who Is oaker for F. D. Ladd, says that he smelted the smoke at about one o'clock. The bakeshop Is next door to the old city building. By the time the patrolmen came along, smoke was seen pouring from the basement door.and short time was made in ringing lu the alarm. The hook and ladder truck made remark ably good time, and several of the firemen attempted to extinguish the flames with hand extinguishers. It was apparent, however, that the fire was beyond them, and the new chemical engine which has not been used all winter, was pressed into service. As luck would have It, the chemical was cleaned thoroughly yester day and put into commission. Aud the chemical proved its usetutuess, no water being turned onto the (ire from the hy drant, although both hose companies re sponded to the alarm. The tlames had scorched the interior of Papiu Bros.' store and had eaten their way into the partition which separates Papin's from Parker & Tassle's market in the same basement. This made the lire men's work particularly difficult. The partition had to be cut through, before the flames could be smothered by the chemi cal, and it was feared at one time that the fire would eat its way to the second floor and envelop the whole building in flames. The building is an old one and had the tl lines got mure hsadway.that and several wooden structures nearby would have been endangered. The fire was under control an hour after the alarm, and the "all out" was rung at 4.15 o'clock. The Insurance carried on the building amounts to $5,300. Parker & Tassie have $750, and Papin Bros. 700. The Btoek of J. M. Perry which was damaged by smoke Is fairly well insured. Of the insurance on the building, the city of Barre carries $2,000 ou the upper part. Henry Wood 1,000 and the Morse estate $2,000 on the lower portion which was uamagwu. A FOX FARM IN WOODFORD.

Deputy Sheriff Fred Godfrey, who recently purchased a twelve acre lot in Woodford, has decided to turn the place Into a piace for the prop agation of the blue, or Alaskan foxes, a type of animal that is coming very much Into pioniineuoe because of the value of the fur which ranks next to the silver gray fox.

Their names were Master Karl Fowler and Master Leonard Scorgie. Mr. Whit ney did not think Master Scorgie could be induced to come so far away from home. Master Fowler, who was decided upon as the one who would come to Barre. bad a great strain upon his voice about Easter in much extra singing. It gave out so he is now unable to fill his position In church or to come to Barre. Master Scorgie.how- ever, consented to come, therefore the change on the programme from what has been advertised. That the publio may feel sure of the ability of Master Soorgie we quote from Mr. Whitney's letter: "I suppose you received my letter about Master Fowler losing his voice. I wrote at once for the other boy, Master Leonard Scorgie and he came in this afternoon and sang for me, and I am sure you will be delighted with his singing as 1 was. I wouldn't think of bringing him with me if I didn't feel mire you would be pleased with him. lie is, as 1 said, a larger boy with larger voice than Fowler had, and his high notes are magnificent." In a later letter Mr. Whitney said, "Master Soorgie sang the solos at our choir festival service tonight and everyone was delighted." NOT A CANDIDATE AGAINST J. A. DeBOER Bat P. W. Clement Believes He Can Win Out Against Either Bell or Stanton. Rutland, April 2(5. So much has been said as to P. W. Clement's position on the governorship in this campaign, your cor respondent has sought out the facts, and from one very close to Mr. Clement Is en abled to tell me what his plans really are. If the contest for the governorship is to lie between Messrs. Bell and Stanton, Mr. Clement will surely enter the race. If Mr. DeBoer is to be a candidate, he will not, but will do what he can to secure the iatter's nomination. The friends of Mr. Clement look upon Mr, DeBoer as one of the brainiest and brightest men t f the state, progressive, and a man who believes with Mr. Clement In better roads, a wise ly spent tax aud in giving the local option law a fair chance to prove Us merits or demerits, time being always an essential element in the proof.

The Czar, with the full concurrence of the imperial family and his advisors, has firmly decided not only to reject all pro posals looking to intervention, but to pros ecute the war with all the resources of the empire until victory crowns the Russian arms, and then when the time comes for peace to make terms directly with the en emy.

Dear Mr. Editor: As one who, during the past year, has advocated by voice and pun the principles enunciated by Kev. Francis Poole in his sermon of Sunday evening last, I am anxious that more than a passing notice should be given to his ad dress. Our city already has a multiplicity of organizations and because of this I hesi tate to propose the formation of another, but would it not be a good thing to invite all citizens who favor some modilication of the Scandinavian system to Institute a club, the object of which will be to agitate and work for such an amendment of our present law as will give us the further op tion Mr. Poole suggests? Vermont has indeed an opportunity to take a forward stride. Why should not the movement begin here and now'.' J am, sir, truly yours, Thos. II. Miteheli.

Candidates Coming Up All Over County. F. S. WILLIAMS OF BARRE Also M. M. Gordon ztd C. L. Moody Candidates For State's Attorney. Candidates For Senators. This is a late season late in more ways than one but the special lateiios to which The Times here refers to is that in political matters. This lateness, however, does not promise to interfere with the crop of political candidates. This is especial ly true of candidates for county ollices, of which there are now enough to (ill all the offices three times round. The most important county olllee is that of state's attorney. There are already three candidates for this Frank S. Wil liams and Matthew M. Gordon of Barre and G, L. Moody of Waterbury. As the Barre caucus will probably eliminate one of the two Barre candidates It is prob able that there will be but two candidates before the convention, though it is barely possible there may be a candidate from Montpelier. The candidate most likely to receive the support of the Barre delegation Is Frank S. Williams. Mr. Williams is a hard working young lawyer, who has made his own way against many obstacles, lie was 'tiWTWJ!3'Vt., 4 FRANK S. WILLIAMS, Candidate for Nomination for fit.'iti'S Attorney. born in Xo. Troy in 1872. In his thirteenth year he attended the graded school at Milton aud for several years thereafter worked out for farmers In that vicinity, but attended the Columbus, Wis., hiuh school In 1880. He came to Barre in ISiW, learned the carpenters trade and at 20 years of age had a welll paid aud responsi ble position at his trade. Meantime he devoted every spare hour to study, and actually passed his examina tion in the four years' course, with only four terms' attendance at Goddard, where he graduated In theclass of LSU5 lie began reading law In the office of R. A. Hoar and was admitted to the bar iu the fail of 18iH. He has been .In active practice since. Mr. Williams will have the support of nearly alt the Barre attor neys In his caudldacy for the office and expects to secure the Barre delegation with little opposition, though Mr. Gordon is makt" a vigorous tight for It. Mr. Moody, the candidate from Waterbury.has served one term as state's attorney in La moille county. He is now Iu Washing ton tryiug to secure the pardon of Farrer, the Waterbury bank embezzler. Jt is said the latter will meet opposition to his candidacy iu his own home from C. E. Moody, who it is reported Is a candi date for state seuator. The candidates for senatorial honors are very many. Mont pelier will have a canditate, who will also have he support of the Barre delegation, in the person of W. A. Lord; Mad River Valley will also have a candidate, proba bly Oscar G. Eaton, a prominent merchant of Waitsfleld. Mr. Eaton was representa tive from his town in the last legislature. Dr. Winch of Northlield has beeu men tioned as has Arch. Batchelder of Plain field, Mark Mears of Marshfleld and li. A. Hoar of Barre. There has also been some talk of a fusion ticket on similar lines of two years sgo. If one Is formed O. II. Richardson of Montpelier and Dr. C. N. Barber of Barre town will be candidates for senator on It. Some mention has been made of F. G. Ilowland of Barre as a possible candidate for senator, but Mr. Ilowland informs The Times he is not a candidate his business affairs will not permit htm to enter the contest this year. For the office of sheriff," Frank U. Tra cey of Montpelier, seems to have the call. If a fusion ticket Is formed Mr. Evans will probably be a candidate for re-election on the same. E. W. Huntley of Duxbury is promi nently mentioned as a candidate for side judge and will doubtless be one of the nominees. W. O. Nye of East Barre is another name mentioned in this connec tion. The list is by no means complete, and other names may be added to it daily. Knamltiutlona for Iteywnue Service. S. W. Hampton and J. C. Conlunde of Norwich University, NorthfieUl, are tak ing examinations today at the court house for entry into the revenue cutter service of the United States.
