SOUTH SIDE.
Improvements That Havs Been Made o.
Ara in Propraaa

Improvements That Have Been Made OF
Are In Progrsss.
During the past year a great many
improvements have been made on the
South Side. Although the great de-
preston in trade has been felt here
more than elsewhere, still the improve.
ments have gone on, there and are new
buildings on every side.
Among the most prominent are the
following: NJ. Robinson's handsome
stone and brick Office, F. L. Terrpe's
large store and residence on the cor.
ner of Cedar avenue and Birch street,
large addition to John Wes.pfahls
store and extensive alterations and re.
pairs made by A. J. Mulderig, who has
placed large bay windows in the front
of his store and taken all the partitions
out to gain more room. Then on Will
low street Alderman Storr has added to
his already large building for the ac-
commodetion Of his patrons. There
are dwelling houses springing up on
nearly every avenue and street, while
others are being treated to new coats
of paint.
Altogether the South Side will COM
pare favorably with any part of the
city in the matter of impr ovements
and had street repairs and grading been
pushed with the same yigor, the South
Side would be one of the most healthy
and beautiful suburbs of Scranton. The
mines are working full time, and also
the steel mills, tho silk mills and other
factories are going full blast, and alto
gether there appears to be q general re-
vival all around. 1t is hoped that tho
coming year will be more prosperous
than the past one.

NORTH END BRIEFS.

Arrangements havo been made for an
excellent entertainment at tho Christian
church Tomorrow nitiht at 7;30.
The members of the First Welsh Bap
tist church have arranged for straw.
berry social to be held on July 3.
The closing exercises in connection with
school No, % will be held in the hall of the
school on Friday next at p. m. Proceeds
for the benefit of the library and clock
fund.
The grand excursion to Farview, under
the auspices Of class No. O. Presbyterian
Sunday school, will take place tomorrow
by the Delaware and Hudson train, leay-
ing at s n. m.
Gwynfryn Evans, who has spent pleas
ant holiday of two months in Pennsylva-
MIA, left Scranton yesterday on his return
homo to Woles. He has delivered sermons
at the North End and other places, and
will carry back to the old country pleasant
impressions of the electric city.
Extensive alterations are being carried
out at the Lewis drug store where the
front is being entirely removed and a
splendid plate glass window is substituted.
g. W. Davis, although probably the
youngest druggist in the city, thorouehly
understands his profession having gradu-
ated Mt Philadelphia in the largest college
in the world. The alteration will be a
great Improvement to the appearance OF
Providence square and Mr.. Davis's enter
prise ia commendsble.
Considerable dissatisfaction is felt in the
North End upon the location and con-
dition Of the police station and strong
hopes are entertained that after the visit
of the city authorities and the fact of the
premises being condemned, that immed.
late action will be taken to procure more
suitable and sanitary buildings. The en-
trance to the station is Anticipated and
dangerous, and quite opposite for the re-
quirements of conveying prisoners to and
fro, but tho entrance is only an index to
the sad condition Of affairs within the
building. Above the cells and officers
quarters are the stables of the Liberty
aud Niagara Hose companies and the
smell which of necessity exists, permeates
the rooms, making it positively danger
ous to the health OF the officers and pris-
oners. The room where the officers trans
act their business aud occasionally eat
their meals, Is a most miserable den.

Much Water Poured Into Ms. Pleasant

Smoke issuing from the old No. 1
air shaft of the Mount Pleasant mines,

and DeckGr's court, was the cause of an
alarm of fire, which was sounded from
box IA, at the corner Of Lackawanna
avenue and Seventh street, shortly after
6 o'clock last evening. The Nay
Aug, Phenix, Franklin, Columbia
aud Hook and Ladder companies re-
sponded. The fire was found to be in this
old air hole, which is not now used, and
has been boarded up about twelve feet
down from the surface The frame
work was burning fiercely, and, as
there is no downward draught, volumes
of smoke were being carried into the
mines.
Two streams were poured on the
fire, which was slowly eating its way
downward 1t became necessary to
cut out the board wall around the sides

tectually. Little damage was done,
although much water was carried into
the mines through the opening,
