CHARGED WITH ARSON,
Mack Arraigned Before the Court
Supposed to Have Burned Shop.

Portland. Me-, Dec. 25.-Beniamin
Mack, proprietor of the pawn shop at
$50 Fore street, which was burned out,
carly Sunday morning, was before
Judge Hill in the municipal court, Sat
urday morning, on d charge of arson
and the case was continued for plead
ing. TO Wednesday, Dec. 2S Mack was
arrested at o'clock, Friday night, on
warrant sworn to by Marshal Sylves-
ter and was admitted to bail before
Bail Commissioner Samuel l.. Bates
for $4,000. He was released on bail for
S.e00, Saturday morning, his suretes
being Joseph Mack and Morris Sack
no. Col. w. G. Eaton. assistant county
attorney. who worked up the case
against Mack, appeared for the State
Charles E. Perkins.
The arrest on the charge of arson
was or account of the fire, Sunday
morning. which completely Quilted the
store occupied by Mack and destroyed
his stock of goods which he says was
valued ut $1,000 and insured for $1,000.
Frank Sherman occupied the remand
or of the building as a sailors boarding
house and his furnishings were consid-
erably damaged by smoke.
To set fire in the night time to a
building occupied as a dwelling is Sc
nous crime and the warrant on which
Mack was arrested and arraigned
makes these allegations.

| Will not exceed $500.
| Too much cannot be said of the cool
ness and admirable behavior of the
guests who were in the hotel when the
fire was discovered. Smoke filled the
upper halls and in many of the rooms it
was almost impossible to see, but no

were hastily packed and when dawn
came the main hall of the hotel was

At o'clock, it appeared that the
flames We're making Roadway toward
the hotel and fears for the safety of
that structure We're entertained. The
fremen worked hard, however, and by
this time had gained entrance to the

roof.
The cause Of the fire is mystery. 1t
appears almost certain that the blaze
started in a shaft or in the basement
of the Smith store on the Mechanic
street end of the building. The furnace
used in heating the building is on the
Water street end and the fire could not
have started from that source.

all of the big plate glass windows in
the Smith store are destroyed. Moth

great mass of ice-covered and black

store.
The great promptness with which the
fire alarm was sounded and responded
to by the fire companies deserves spec
ial mention. The firemen worked seven
and eight hours, their clothing, helmets
and even faces covered with ice.
AS stated above, the loss to the build

with a total insurance of $4,000. The
fire was the most costly that Gardiner

the heavy loss sustained by the insur-

In the same mill, they had been very
friendly for years and Booth was a
frequent visitor at the little Parkinson
home. Both left their looms last July,
with the rest of the $4,000 operatives
OF the city.
Parkinson was 81 years old and his
family consisted of a wife and two
small children. one two years and a
half and the other three months old.
Booth. who was six years younger.
was unmarried.
Late yesterday afternoon, the two
met in saloon and for some time
shook dice. They were known to most
OF those in the place as fast friends
so that everyone was astonished when
one of them suddenly burst out into
mated invectives and dared the other 10
light. In fact, the quarrel was taken
seriously by only one of the men in the
room. James Hogan. who heard the
conversation and saw the men leave
the place and followed them
Inc two men Went straight to a va
cant lot on Bluff street, overlooking
the Taunton river, and there in the
snow stripped to the waist and SQUARED
off.

police, Parkinson led first, but Booth
ducked the blow and then caught Park
inson for fearful smash in the face

the bout as Il most brutal encounter
Booth ran away and Hogan finding
Parkinson insensible notified the neigh

streaming from his ears nose Esand
mouth. Before the party had reached
the nearest house. Parkinson had ex-
pired. A physician later examined the
body.
In the meantime the police had been
notified and Il general alarm was sent
out for Booth.
On visiting Booths home the police
learned that their man had left only
short time before. after an unSuccess-
full attempt to get some money from
his parents. He is said to have told
his parents that he should never re-
turn home.
The police. last night. believed that
Booth was still in the city. or that he
had not gone far. and that he did not
have more than dollar or two when
he left home. Mrs. Parkinson was
Frustrated, last night.
Booth surrendered himself at police
headquarters at midnight and was
locked up on a charge of manslaughter.
The police say that he admitted the
fight with Parkinson and they agreed
to settle the dispute with their bare
fists. After leaving Parkinson in the
lot where they fought, he went first
to his home and then took a train to
Providence. In that city he visited d
sister who advised him to give himself
up. He Immediately returned to this
city, going to police headquarters inn
