PORTER IS IN THE Tolls
Arrested by Detectives in Buffalo,
Where He Was Working.
WILL BE BROUGHT BACK HERE
In This City Porter Was Employ cd BY the
Suburban Electric Light Company.
Whose Money lie Col
lccicd and Kept.

George w. Porter, who was a lineman
in the employ of the Suburban Electric
Light company. and disappeared from
this city on Monday, Nov. is last. leav-
ing behind him receipted bills to the
amount of several hundred dollars for
money that he had obtained by fraudu-
lent representation of himself as the
company's collector, was arrested In
Buffalo yesterday.
Chief of Police William T. Simpson
received a message from the authori-
ties at Buffalo ordering him to come on
and bring back Porter. The Barring &
McSweeney agency was working on the
case and it was principally through
their instrumentality that the culprit
was caught. Mr.. Barring took out re-
QUESTION papers yesterday and man
will be sent away tonight with them.
The fraud that Porter had been per-
petrating was discovered on the We'd
nesday following the Monday he left
town. The authorized agent Of the
Suburban company. when he went to
Dunmore. found that the bills had al-
ready been collected and were receipt
ed for by Porter.
The day Porter left town he bought
ticket for New York and two for Attain
ia. at the Delaware Lackawanna and
Western station and left on the noon
train for New York. He was not more
than 4S hours gone when the case was
put in the hands of detectives by E. b.
Sturges, president of the company.
Porter when caught, was employed by
a man named Beale. an electrician, do
ing business in Buffalo.
The abscOnder was given employment
in this city on the strength of good rec
concentrations. He rented house on
Dickson avenue, where he lived with a
woman presumed to be his wife. but he
gave up housekeeping five weeks be-
fore his departure and took up his
abode at the ST. Charles hotel. He did
not liquidate his board bill there. The
amount of money he collected in Dun
more was over $500.

]. d. Williams 4 Brother Have Increased
Their Facilities for Serving Holiday
Buyers.
The new double stores of j. ID. VIII
liams & Brother, on Lackawanna ave-
nue., is one of the busiest places In the
city at this season, as they are un-j
doubtedly headquarters for Christmas
toys, candies and other holiday goods.
The toy and confectionery establish
ment of j. ID. Williams & Brother has
been among the best known and most
popular mercantile houses In Scranton
for years past. Owing to the increase
in their business they have been obliged
to enlarge their facilities for serving
the public by the addition of another
store rOOm The commOdiOus building
formerly occupied by Claude Pratt, sta
toner, at No. 312 Lackawnna avenue,
has recently been added to the Will
liams establishment, making floors
25xl0O or 10000 feet of floor room, and
may be entered from the street or by
large archway which connects it with
the original candy and toy store. The
new store building is devoted almost
entirely to toys, and dolls of every de-
scriptiOn, wagons, sleighs, iron toys and
articles of every design that are calcu-
lated to amuse the rising generation are
included in the stock.
In these spacious stores the Christ
mas buyer cannot fail to find something
that will please the children, and the
variety of toys and prices bring the
holiday presents within the means OF
all.
The crowds Of shoppers that have
thronged the stores during the past few

ment Of the Williams stores was made
none too soon for the holiday season OF

The populari,y Of tho piano.

OF all the musical instruments that
mans ingenuity has yet devised, the
Piano is unquestionably tho. most
agreeable, most popular. and generally
speaking. the most perfect. In the
hands of an artist, 1t Is sympathetic
and expressive to the highest degree,
while even in the hands Of an ordinary
player, 1t is always pleasant to the
most sensitive ear.
OF course. everything depends on the
construction and scale Of the instru-
ment, for there are degrees and quail
tiles in Pianos as in everything else.
But poor Pianos don't come in under
the scope Of the present article, for
the real truth is. they can never give
anything approaching to satisfaction.
Let's take the Weber Piano as an illus
tration of what good Piano should
be. Here we have an instrument that
has earned for itself a worldwide repu-
tation. In everything that means ex-
cellence, and that wonderful Weber
tone" has never been approached by the
instruments of any other makers.
Wherein the secret of its production
lies, is difficult to tell, but the fact
that it's there Is indisputable and Is
universally conceded. -
