 A SINGLE DAY

 a Great Feat.

 vice.

The members of the Cortland avenue Improvement Club, assisted by the mem- bers of the Precl.~ Valley Improvement Club, who generously gave their services, succeeded yesterday in accomplishing a feat in building that has never been ex- celled even If it has been equaled.

 This handsome building stands on Fol- som street, between Cortland and Jef- ferson avenues It Is 25 feet broad by 70 long, and has a pitched roof. The dis tance from the main floor to the ceiling Is B feet inches. The entire building was completed and plumbing put in. and had been donated to the club, was fioated from the top of the hall in testimony of the accomplishment of feat of which forty men, who worked nke beavers, have every reason to feel proud.
 The obect in erecting the hall is to get the city to take some steps toward run ming the Folsom-street cars over bernal Heights or else out Cortland avenue, Tn order that the people of that sect-on may have some sort of railway connection wiln the city, which at present they have not. The district contains 700 voters. and their convenience should be looked after.
 The architect of the hall Is Henry Mey- CTS, and he superintended its. erection. while the plumbing was put in by George Smith.

SOUTH SCRANTON.

There are strong reasons to believe
that within a short time the plant OF
the National Elevator works. now
located at Honesdale, will be added to
the list Of industries of this side. In
fact, for the past four years negotia-
tions have been under way to bring
the large concern to this city. When
the South Scranton board OF trade was
one OF the leading and active organ
izations of this section, a committee
composed of John j. Scheuer, jr., NJ. p.
Judge and c. g. Boand went to Homes
dale to confer with the owners of the
plant relative to moving to Scranton.
The local committee saw good future
for the works, and in their report at
the ensuing meeting of the board,
Messrs. Scheuer, Boland and Judge
strongly urged that the moneyed men
Of the city subscribe stock in the COM
pany. Acting on their recommended
tion, a number of prominent men be-
came interested in the affair, which re-
suited in the plant being almost owned
by Scranton capital. Since the aban-
donment of the Gravity road of the
Delaware and Hudson railroad the
move to have the works brought here
has been revived. To The Tribune cor
respondent Mr.. Scheuer, who has been
particularly active in the matter from
the very first. stated last night that he
has been in conference with two of the
officials of the concern during the week.
| They, too, are now exceedingly anxious
| to come to Scranton, giving preference
| to this side for location. Interesting
| developments are expected shortly.

SNAKES IN AUSTRALIA.
Various Specimens That Cause Men
to Shun All But Temperance
Drinks,

From Chambers Journal.
There are FIVE kinds of venomous
snakes in Victoria: The tiger snake.
the black snake, the brown snake, the
copperhead and the death adder.
The last mentioned is very rare in
Victoria and very venomous. 1t is
about two feet long, very thick in pro-
portion to its length, Of dull brown
color and with a Hat, wide head. The
strangest thing about it Is that many
people believe its sting is contained in
the tail.
Leaving the death adder out of the
count, there are four species which
are fairly common. The tiger snake
comes first, in popular estimation If
not in reality. 1t is regarded as the
most venomous and the most savage.
1t attains i'm some districts a length Of
about six feet, but the majority of
specimens are from three to four feet
| long. Its colOring variegated black
and brown on the back, and pale brown
on the belly. When attacked it some
times raises its head to a height of a
| foot from the ground, and its appear
ance then as il rests on it's coils with
! its head seemingly widened out, its
| neck cOnlTdClcu, ltS lbIhtl Noiibut
! ering out of it's mouth, and it's eyes
! blazing with rage, makes the average
man rather chary of approaching. one
| good point is that the backbone of all
snakes is easily broken by blow from
a stick, and the power Of locomotion
| is thus taken away. Next on the list
| is the black snake This is rather
! larger than the tiger, and the hand
soonest Of all Victorian snakes. The
back is Of Jet black, and shines like a
well polished boot, and the belly is a
| beautiful salmon pink. 1t Is less com
mon than the tiger snake. apd is very
frequently confounded with the cop
perhead. The brown snake is brown
on the back, Witty brown on the belly,
and about the same length as the
other two. The commonest OF all, at
any rate near Melbourne, is the cop
perhead, which is found in most parts
| of Victoria. As its name implies, II
has coppery head, dark back and a
| yellOWish belly.
