tered. CREDIT VS. CASH.
It Is a common Impression that the
protlts on the wile of planus ato luree,
Generally BpcnliliiK thlB is true, made
necessary by tho Kreat expenses In
conducting tho business and the Ions
time which as a rule dealers ask of
manufacturers in buylns anil the ne
cessarily Inereaocd price which ulways
followH extended payments. It Is ne
cessary In order to meet till conditions
to bp able to sqll pianos on very eusy
monthly payments, but this extended
time should not be asked of the man
ufacturer and cannot without paying
long time prices. We could mention
dealers who are paying interest on
JICO.OOO or more and buy everything on
from six to twelve months time. Can
such a dealer Bell a pluno at a low
price? Yes, In one way. If he can
find a dupo who he can make believe
a. cheap article is a good one he can.
but In no other way. This Is the true
picture presented by the long-time
buying', heavy expense and large Interest-paying
dealer. Now glance for
a moment at the other side or cash
plan of doing business, which Is our
way. AVe owe no man one dollar, no
piano has ever stood on our Jloor over
night without being paid for since we
adopted this plan, thereby saving from
$2.ri to $.'0 on each piano bought. We
employ no agents or canvassers, pre
ferring to offer inducements which will
bring customers in without the great
expense and many times to the cus
tomers annoyance of hauling them in.
Our expenses are reduced to so low
a point that they aro hardly worth
mentioning, thereby saving from $25 to
$50 more on each piano in expenses nnd
Interest. AVhat is the result? Simply
tills, we propose to give the customer
these two items and quote a few prices
In proof of our assertion. We have a
few Schubert pianos In stock, manu
factured by Patrick Duffy, of Now
York, that have been sold by long-time
buying and large Interest-paying deal
ers at from $400 to $450. Our price on
tho Schubert Is $250 on installments,
with a nice discount for cash. Wo
also have a cabinet grand Upright
piano, full Iron frame, Uoston fall. ",.
octaves, Mahogany finish, fully guar
anteed by the manufacturer, and Is
really a nice piano, better than many
wo know of being sold for $200. Our
price is $125 and a small advance on
Installments. This piano cannot be ap
preciated by reading about It, but must
bo tried before just judgment can bo
passed on Its merits, nnd the better the
expert who tests It the more amazed
will ho be at the price. In order to
reduce our expenses to tho lowest pos
sible point we aro doing business on
the second floor, rooms Nos. 7 and 8,
15urr building, nnd ask our customers
to come up one flight of stairs, for
which we -will give them $." discount
for every step. Will this pay? If so
come up and see the piano business,
conducted on commercial lines, the
same an the grocery business. Don't

SCRANTON BUSINESS COLLEGE.
The Seranton Business College Is not
only n credit but also a benefit to the
city. It supplies1 business houses with
trained help, and the 124 out-of-town
students put much money In circula
tion here.
The night school Is, in every respect,
the finest In the country. This is fact.
Every vear hundreds of men ana wo
men who cannot get an education In
any other way are greatly benefited by
attending tho evening session. The
charges are very low.
The only place to get a thorough
huslneps training Is at a well-equipped
business college. No other school can
give It. The demand for K. B. C. gradu
ates has nlways been much greater
than tho supply.
Christmas Railroad Rates.
For teachers and students of schools
nnd colleges, leturnlng home to spend

STORE OPENED ONE
YEAR AGO TODAY
CELEBRATION AT THE BIO DE
PARTMENT STOKE.
Bauer's Band Gave One of Its De
lightful Concerts Last Night in
tho Store of Jonas Long's Sons,
Which Was Crowded with Vis
itorsPresentations to the Firm
nnd to Employes of Store Second
Year Has Been Ushered In Most
Promisingly.
Never since Scrnnton's greatest store
that of Jonas Long's Sons w as
opened lo the public, has It contained
such a mass of people as congregated
there last evening to celebrate the
linn's completion of their first your of
business In Scrnnton. The ewnt had
been heralded for several weeks and
was much prepared for, consequently
when the doors of tho Big Store opened
at 7 o'clock, after having been closed
for two hours to make final prepara
tions, there was a great midlewo wait
ing to pain admittance. From 7 o'clock
until 10, there was one vast throng
of people parsing to and fro through
the great building.
At S o'clock two special excursion
tarins from Wllkes-Bnrre brought 11
delegation of over a thousand. Includ
ing the entire force of employes of tho
Wllkes-Barre store. Mayor Nichols ac
companied the Wllkes-Barre party.
The building with Its big rotunda of
whltu and supported by mnsnho col
umns, afforded much opportunity for
decorative art, and it was made tho
best of by tho twining and lnt"r-twln-llig
of roped evergreen. Near the main
entranco to the store on Wyoming
avenue sine was another decoration
that attracted much Interest, being In
the form of n Gondola built out of
white handkerchiefs, In which was
sealed Columbia, gem of the ocean.
Tho effect was heightened by the ad
dition of several clusters of I'h'ctrK
lights. Thl wa.i only one of several
decorations that helped to add fo the
Interest of the occasion nnd to tho
store'is attractiveness.
KXCELLF.NT CONCKUT.
The conceit given by Bauer's band
augmented by the Schubert quartette,
was one of the finest ever heard in
Seranton. Both organizations were
seated on a raised platform on til"
s2cond balcony, and the music could
bo heaul to a nicety throughout tho
building.
One. of the most pleasing feature
of the evening was tho presentation
by the employes of the Seranton store
to tin members of the linn of 11 mag
nificent floral anchor, on whlih wns
Inscribed the word, "Success." The
employes gathered around the firm just
previous to the evening opening when
Floor Manager George W. Dunn ad
dressed them In a few well chosen
words and presented them with the
store, emblem. His remarks were re
sponded to by Mr. Louis Long, who
snld In part:
Had tins manifestation of good will
come from our Wilkes-Ilaiiu employe .
with whom we have been associated lor
many years, it would have occasioned no
suiprlso. But coming from those who
have licen gathered In our circle for tho
snort space of ono iur, we cannot tell
you how wo aro delighted and pleasod.
That you should strp to remember us In
the holghth ot your busy holiday prepa
rations gives color to more than words
can express. Wc have been employes and
employers togctlicr now for ono year
with no fault to find of you. You liavo
dono well the tasks ast Igncd to jo", and
by your efforts of devotion and attention
to duty havo laid the foundations of lust
what this tribute typllles "Success."
lllght here I wish to tell you, and proud
ly, that our business has been a suc
cess beyond our most bangulne expecta
tions; we have reason to be thoroughly
proud of the rccoid we havo made, a largo
proportion of which Is due to you. and In
looking into tho future ot the new year
before us wo can but hope that the same
measure of success may come to us. On
behnlf of the tnemljers ot tho firm of Jo
nas Look's Sons, I again thank ou.
OXK YKATl AGO.
Jonas Long's Sons opened their
Seranton store just one year uso this
morning for business. Some people
looked upon the enterprise as a big
venture and not to b" preraged with
success. Prediction of the few, how
ever, gave way to the conildcnce of the
many, and today theie Is no more suc
cessful Institution In Seranton than its
Great Store.
The firm has been enterprising and
aggressive from the start: they have
Introduced methods Into their business
that have "r.umhl" with the people.
They havo furnished instruction and
amusement through various mediums,
bringing to Scianton a modern metro
politan department store in nil its de
tails. That their future here is bilglit
goes without question; from now on
tlvi Great Store cin be considered as
one of tne city's natural Institutions
for the public good and public profit.
Tho members of tho firm, all of whom
were present, are Louis Long, and Har
ry Long, of New Yoik; Bernard Long,
Charles J. Long and ICdward Long, of
Wllkes-Barre, and Arthur Long, of
Seranton.
Shortly after the Great Store closed
at 3 o'clock last night, the buyers for
tho firm nnd many of Its employes
gathered In the spacious millinery pur
lors. Within their circle on n tablo

KELLER JURY STILL OUT.
No Agreement Wns Reached Up to
Adjourning Time.
No ngtcenient hud been readied In
tho Keller murder trial up to udjoum
ing time yesterday afternoon.
Judge I'dwnrds, on leaving court, In
formed tho tipstaves In charge of tho
jury, that he would not lake 11 verdict
before morning.
It was reported that the Jury stands
eight for manslaughter nnd four for ac
quittal. COMPRESSED AIR MOTOR
It Has Been Installed In the Leg
gott's Creek Mine to Do the
Work of Mules Descrip
tion of Motor.
In the Leggett's Creek mine of the
Delaware and Hudson Canal company
it is proposed hereafter to do the
greater pnit of the underground haul
ing of cars bv means of compressed
air motors. Some time ago the com
pany placed several ot these compress
ed nlr motors In the Coal Biook nil no
at Carbondale which havo proved yo
successful that It was decldpd to US'
the system of haulage tn other mines.
It is now practically installed In tho
Lnggett's Cuek nnd the trial trip,
which took place yesterday was very
satisfactory. The motor Is used In the
Clark vein ami Its test yesterday
demonstrated that It Is capable of do
ing tho work )f foity mules. In np
penrance the motor somewhat resem
bles an ordinary mine "loklo" but hns
three boilers or cylinders. The two
largest arc about eight feet long and
eighteen Inches In diameter and have a
capacity of SOO pounds pressure. Be
tween these two largo cylinders Is u
small ono 10 inches in diameter that
carries a. piessure of 120 pounds.
This is the boiler of tho engine.
lioween tho lnrjjp nnd small cylin
der there Is an automatic valve that
allows tho large cylinders to keep the
pressure In the small cylinder at 120
pounds
Along the side of the track and at a
height suitable for connecting to the
engine there runs a five-Inch pipe car
rying SCO pounds pressure, with taps
at intervals where the engine can con
nect and get 11 fresh supply of air.
This feed pipe has been laid along tho
vein. 3,010 feet.
Near the head of the shaft and In
close proximity to the breaker a largo
engine house has been erected and a
high pressure, Norwalk, double-compound
engine set up. This engine, al
though of very high pressure, being
capable of compressing to 1,000 pounds
pressure to the square inch, only occu
pies a floor iipaco of 5x21 feet.
The engine feeds through a R-lnch
pipe which runs through a fifteen-foot
boiler of water to purify tho air, and
thn through the engine nnd compres
sor which is lined and filled with run
ning water to keep the air cold.
A noticeable tiling about the process
of cimpression Is felt at the compres
sor. When the air is first taken In the
jiljie becomes very hot, but after pass
ing through the automatic valve Into
tli.' pipe which leads Into the mine it
passes the freezing point, and in tho
mine, if water is poured on tho pipe
It turns Instantly into ice.
The compressed uir engine is fast
coming into use as 11 means of hauling
mine cars and In a few years, from
presjnt indication?, mules will be tin
unknown quantity in the mines.

PINKERTON MAN
BEGINS TO WORK
HE IS HARD ON THE SCENT OF
AT LEAST ONE CLUE.
One Gang of Men, Undoubtedly
Guilty of Burglarizing i.e Cigar
Store of John Rice in This City,
Disposed of Somo of Their Goods
at Mooslc and Are Relieved to Re
Identical with a Party of Four
Men Which the Pinkerton Detec
tive Is After.
Ono of the best known of the Pinker
ton detectives has been In Uuryen and
neighboring towns and has got 11 start
on ut least one clue which may lead
to establishing tho Idcniity nnd possi
bly the arrest ot the men guilty ot the
Corcoran murder. The Tribune has
been unable to learn whether the de
tective Is at woik on his own uccount
for a Pinkerton agency or for ono of
the several organizations or olllclals
whose Interest It is to detect the brtltnl
crlmlnnls. It Is nlso unknown whether
he Is now working through agents or
Is himself actively engaged In the de
tails of the ease.
It Is 11 peculiar coincidence that facts
recently developed Indicate the quite
Plausible theory that the men who rob
bed the clgar'and tobacco store of John
lllce at the corner of Lackawanna and
Washington avenues, this city, nearly
two weeks ago, n few nights preceding
the Duryca murder, may connect the
latter crlmo and the Seranton robbery
with one and tho same gang of crooks.
After the cigu,r toro was robbed, the
police at once reached the conclusion
that nt lenst three and probably not
less than four men were concerned In
tho Job. This view wns held because
of the large quantity of goods taken
and because of the central location of
the store right under the noses of two
of the best police patrolmen, which
must havo made It necessary for two
of tho gang to havo "watched out,"
one on Lackawanna avenue and the
other on Washington avenue. To fol
low the case Intclilgently the following
paragraph from the Tribune of Wed
nesday should be read:
1113 WAS TALKATIVK.
On tho night before the murder .1 sample
gang of toiighs which have infested the
valley were in Butler's hotel at Mooslr.
They were boisterous and one ot their
number was very drunk and talkative.
After showing five watches und remark
ing upon tho ease with which they could
bo secured, he was hustled from tin
place by his ct nipanlous. There were five
in tho party.
Tho local representative of the Lor
lllard Tobacco company on reading the
above attached Importance to It. as the
plunder secured from the cigar store
Included watches and other goods,
which tile Lorlllard company owned
and which were given ns premiums. He
went to the Butler house and Identified
a wntch which one of the gang had
given to the son of the proprietor and
learned that another watch which the
bartender had purchased from the same
crowd had been peldged for $5 with
a bartender at tho Grand Central hotel
In this city. This watch was found in
in the possession of the Grand Central
bartender and It was also Identified.
All trace of the five men Is lost at
the Butler house, Mooslc, but efforts
to trace a gang of four men who were
seen that night and Inter In the vicin
ity of Avoca leads to tho belief that
the mini who talked loo much nt the
Butler house was dropped from the
combination or shipped away to where
he would not Interfere with any oper
ations which might bo in view by the
party, which became reduced to four.
The four were In the Cottage hotel,
a saloon kept by a man named Mc
Andrews, at Avoca, on Thursday night,
the night before tho murder at Dur
yca. They were there again on Fri
day night, the night of tho crime, and
were later In Wlnklclleld's saloon,
which Is between Avoca and Duryca.
In the Cottage hotel they displayed
more money than is usually' carried
by patrons of the place, and, upon their
last visit '' .re, the night of the mur
der, spenc about $13.

Whether this party nf four was Iden

or next day. In a group or separately.
In the latter case the dlfllculty nf
landing them will be In Increased. May
be the Pinkerton people are following
one or more of them singly and defer
ring any nrrest In hopes that they will
unite. In which case alt four could be

undoubtedly separted. If they were to

ere this.
