Hospital.
Tlie vexed question whetuor females shall
attend tbe clinical lectures at ttio fcinsylviiula,
Hospital will bo decided nt the annual meeting
ou Monday next of tbe contributor-) to that In
atltntion. Tbe following liitcrcalinif; fact will
chow what has already been done In the matter,
aud the reasons for adopting tbe rather utimu il
fouree of submitting il to tho contributors for
tlidr dcclttlon.
From the otucial records It appear that on Octo
ber Vtft, ImI'J, an application was mailt) b tun oilleora
of the Tciualn Medical College that th Httileiil.s of
their collcKe be admitted to ttie lecture of thu hos
pital, when It was resolved that the steward oe au
thorized lo sell tickf Is to such female students con
meted with the Women's Medical Colletfe. On the
ith of November a disturbance wns Hindu bf soma
fir the Htudcnts attending the clinical lecture of that
day, not only In the lecture-room, but In tho yard of
the hospital and In the adjoining street, so at to
4'ansc severe animadversion from a large part of the
.public press. This led to a special meeting of the
managers on the liith of the same month, whoa the
allowing preamble and resolutions were adopted:
Whmw, It appears the resolution adopted bjr the bosrd
at their stated meeting on the Suth wit , authorizing the
attendance of femnle student at the climes of toe hospi
tal, h given rise to much dissatisfaction on the prt of
man; physicians and students of Una city ; and
Wnrn. bueh opiosition was entirely unexpected, from
the fact that female e-udent tiad bean atttnding the
clinics of the Bloikley Hospital of thin oily, as well as the
itellevue Hospital of New York, and those of Kdiohurgh,
rtcotland, and Zuriih, Switzerland, without, so lar aa we
were aware, there being any opposition ; and
Wt'rrre, It ie the desire of the managers of the hospital
to avoid Riving any just ground for dissatisfaction ; taore-
iire
HttnUrl, That a committee of live be appoint od to con
fer with tbe medical and surgical stall of the hospital,
and to provide for separate clinical instruction to the
female students of medicine, on at leant one day in each
Tf?ek. and that on the unmplotion of such an arrangement
tue other clinical lectures be confined to classes com
posed of males only.
At an adjourned meeting held December 8, 18fi9,
the committee reported, "That having had a confer
ence with the medical and surgical stair of the
hospital, and a full discussion or the subject referred
to the committee, they report that the entire medi
cal and surgical stall' expressed their opposition to
the establishment or a separate cliuio for female
students, and their willingness to continue the clinic
to mixed classes, under the restrictions and upon
the conditions expressed in their communications to
the committee herewith presented," viz. :
At the meeting beld at the Pennsylvania Hospital, Deo.
, Ibftf, the medical staff, after submitting their views on
t ie suliiecl oi separate instruction of female students,
being unable to aecede to the proposition of the commit
tee or tbe board, and being informed that any othnr pro
position looking to the presont selution of tbo difficulty
would bo roceived, under existing compilations, and in
view of the tact of the managers having already granted
tbe light by the sale of tickets to female students to
attend the clinics of the-hospital, submit the fullowin,
propositions:
I. Tnat clinical instruction shall not in the least be re
stricted or abridged,
i. i hat female students shall only attend on one of tho
two clinical days of each week ; and that on this day ull
ca-ee deemed by the lecturer indelicate or improporto bo
witnessed by them, shall be reserved tor the Mat part of
the hour, when these students shall be notified, iu order
that they may withdraw; and, on thoir notdoing so, the
lecturer shall have the option of dismissing the clas.
3. The above arrangement to continue only until tho
eipiration of tho term for which the tickets have boon
already sold.
4. These conditions to be announced to the medical
class.
.Signed on behalf of the Medical and Surgical Board.
Some doubts having subsequently been expressed
whether the proposed arrangement would be satis
factory to the students, the subject was referred
back to the committee, who, on the '29tli, received
the following communication from the medical
staff:
Gentlemen: As we have reason to think that yon ma;
be waiting a further communication from us, we beg leave
to eta1 e that since your last meeting we have decided
grounds for believing that the temporary arrangement pro
posdd will be as generally acceptable to the faculties and
students conoerned, and to the profession at large, as any
i bat can be devised. We have, however, agreed toons
alteration in tbe second proposition, so that it shall read.
' the lecturer shall dismiss the class," instead of shall
have the option of dismissing the class.
Signed by Secretary of Medical Staff.
The Board of Managers "then resolved that the
report of the committee be accepted and the plan
proposed for conducting theciinics was unanimously
adopted ;" bur. the change in the plan suggested lu
the communication of tiie secretary of the medical
stall was respectfully declined.
Under this arrangement the clinical lectures have
been regularly beld, without disturbance of any
kind, and, from appearances, seemed to be giving
satisfaction to all parties. Inasmuch, however, as
many members or the medical proresslon, some or
whom are valued contributors to the hospital, were
taking occasion to express, In very decided terms,
thoir opposition to the coarse adopted by the board
and sanctioned by the medical staff of the hospital,
the managers, at their meeting on the 23th ult,
attained. That the qnestioa whether tickets shall or
shall not be issasd to female students to attend the gene
ral clinical lectures at tbe hospital bo referred to the
contributors at their annual meeting, ts be beld in Fifth
month (May) next, for their instructions in tbe case.
Jt Is this notice that will give particular Interest to
the meeting on the 2d proximo.
Local Oins and Ends The understanding
at present Is, that a few days prior to the com
ing election tbe police are to haul in colored
men on any and every pretext.
Tbe will of Louis Morcau Gottschalk, the
eminent and popular pianist, who died In Rio
Janeiro recently, was admitted to probate in
this city yesterday. The will was made here as
far back as January 14, I8.V1. Tbe estate is
valued at 125,000, and reverts to the brothers
1 nd sisters of the deceased.
Our suburban residents will for awhile be
kept on tbe alert, the 1st of May bringing with
it tbe usual marauding firemen's parties.
With the exit of Sheriff Lyle the last hold of
the Democracy of this city perishes.
Would it not be well for the Finance Com
mittee of Councils to ascertain what becomes of
all the moneys collected in our police station
houses as fine's ?
f 25,000 for a new station house, exclusive
of price of ground, is rather steep. Can Mr.
Martin throw any light on the subject?
A correspondent desires to know if there are
iot some ex-bounty-jumpers on the Eleventh
district police force? Perhaps Mayor Fox can
tell.
The Mercantile Library Reading-room will
be open for visitors to-morrow from 10 A. M.

There is as yet nothing now to report in rela
tion to the Schuylkill suspension. Tbe opera
tors are no nearer a settlement, and the men
have no bettor prospect for a righting of their
wrongs, if wrongs they have. The mon in their
present position get but little sympathy from
any quarter but their own, and consumers in
particular view them with especial distrust.
The consumer, if he has any fellow-feeling for
the miner at all, views the matter In thin light:
Tbe miner nay get Insufficient wages. lie may
desire higher wages, but higher wages will make
higher priced coal. We are not able nor willing
to pay for higher priced coal, on account of a
general reduction of our incomes consequent
upon a general fall In prices. We are therefore
opposed to any advance of miners' wages, no
matter what the necessity may be. So the mat
ter stands.
The monthly Hale of Scranton coal by the Dela
ware, Lackawanna, and Western Railroad Company
wns held in New York on Wednesday last. The
rates have been already published, as compared
with the sale of last month there was an average
decline of in cents per ton. The price of lump was
5 cents lower, of steamboat 13 cents-, of grate 13
rents, ol egg la cents, of stove 21 cents, and of chest
nut 3 centB. The suspension hits not had the effect
of making an advance of rates, In this locality at
least, it the prices have lowered whin one-third ot
the trade Is Btopped, can the Schuylkill operators
be expected to resume operations, which will In
crease tbe supply, on the condition or an advance of
wages 1 ir no arrangement can ever be made by
which the conflicting regions can he made to har
monize, and by which fair competition can be nos-
lble, either by ,-in equality or wages and a reduced
cost of transportation for the unequal side, or by a
surplus of labor In the more fortunate region which
will produce a willingness to accept a lower rate in
other places, the poseible effect at some future time
may be a total abandonment of the Schuylkill region.
The demand or the week In this vicinity lias been
somewhat active. The weekly report of the Read
ing ftailrodd, published yesterday, shows a slight
advance in the quantity brought down over that of
last ween.
Owing to the refusal of the Lehigh men t load the
cars of the Reading Railroad, the cars of the Lehigh
vauryana j.iizcnio itauroau companies are now
used by the Reading company to supply the line of
the Hcfiuy lklll from the Lehigh region. Tho Lehigh
roads are running to their full capacity. There
have been several rumors of serious strikes in this
region, but none or importance have yet been re
ported. The ) in ape done the Lehigh and Delaware
uivision canais ny tue recent rains nas not yet been
entirely repaired.
On next Monday a grand parade of the Workmen's
lienetlciul Association will take place in Kt. (.il.nr. It
is said that this will be a large and most gorgeous
affair as 8t. Clair is situated in the region now in
suspension, it is supposed that those who are to tako
part In the demonstration have had an abundance or
time to make the most extensive arrangmeuts, and
a great success is anticipated.

A ScofNDREL. Some ehcht months aeo a
young German named John Scbiblc, aged nine
teen years, came to this city and succeeded In
ingratiating himself into tbe favor of a family
named Schneider, who reside in the rear of No.
311 Race street. The young scoundrel told a
pitiful tale of want, and the family compassion
ating him, gave him board and lodging. As time
progressed and John obtained no work the
lamiljt began to grow uneasy, but the rascal
quieted their alarm by telling them that he shortly
expected help from his sister. Tho head of the
Schneider family works in a sugar refinery, and
by bard labor had been enabled to lav by a few
dollars. A day or two ago John disappeared,
and an examination showed that previous to
leavlnir be had broken open tbe trunk- in wblcn
tbe fund was kept and taken the whole of it.
Amongst tbe cash were eight sovereigns and a
new $20 bill. The latter has been traced to a
clotbing-6tore on Market street, where the
scoundrel purchased a suit of clothes with it.
One or tiie "Rangers." This morning.
between 4 and 5 o'clock, a citizen noticed three
young men lurking in the yard of a house at
Ninth and Watkins streets. After searching
around the whole neighborhood he finally found
a policeman, whom he notified. The officer,
without stopping to arrange any plan, rushed
off in a flurry, and, approaching the place with
out any caution, gave the rascals due notice,
and they lied. lie pursued and managed to
capture one of tbem, who gives his name as
James Gorman. James is a member of the
organization know as the "Schuylkill Rangers."
On his person were found a revolver, bowle-
kniie, ana black-jack, lie win nave a hearing
this afternoon at the Central Station.
Settlement of an Estate. Some weeks
ago we published an account of the admittance
to probate or tbe will of the late liornard Ma
guire, of this city. The executors have had
several meetings and have reported the follow
ing as the settlement 01 tho estate, i rom the
figures presented our readers can judge as to
how such matters are managed: The whole ap

Lecture in West Philadelphia. The
second public lecture 6lnce tbe opening of Dr.
Saunders' Colletre will be delivered by its presl
dent, who has been so long an educator, ana
who announces in another column that his suo
iect will be. "How to train tho young."
We believe the Doctor will find a full house of
Interested listeners. It Is a singular and pleasing
incident that he follows Judge Axtell, whom he
trained as a pupil, on the subject ot "iraining,'
so that he can refer his audience to tbe eloquent
speaker tbey beard last Monday evening as a
specimen 01 ms work.
WnisKY Seizure. Collector Evans and De
puty Collector Lamon yesterday visitei an old
cooper shop at Thouren and York streets, In
tho Nineteenth ward, and among a pile of old

1023 gallons of corn whisky. The whisky,
which is supposed to have been a lot hurriedly
removed from tbe Dourth District, in wuien
Detective Brooks is now operating, was dis
trained and placed in a Government warehouse.
Heavy Roiiuert. An Impecunious chap
named Jotn Manul early this morning entered
tbe third story of a house at Second and Coates
streets, and removed therefrom a dress valued
at twenty-five cents. The proprietor of tbe
Elace captured John as he was leaving, and
anded him over to a policeman. The latter
transferred him to Alderman Toland, who sent
blm down to Mr. Perkins, who superintends the
City Hoarding House.
Helping: Help. A female named Adallue

May Day The nt-one-time festival of the
first of May will to-morrow make its debut for
tbe present season. The sweet, the balmy May
will to-morrow open its lovely arms and receive
us to Its son embrace, now loveiy, now
divinely sweet the thought ! This present con
dition of tbe tnongnt is appropriate nnuer tue
existing circumstances of clear sky and summer
air. Should tbe dawn of to-morrow, however,
bring a northeaster, a dull, sullen rain, or an
overcast sky, the metaphor should not be so
expressed. The embrace would then bo one of
coldness, and, consequently, disagreeable. The
loving arms of a yueen ot tbe May, no matter
wbo she might be, would then be decidedly
preferable. But alas! that time-honored institu
tion is now no more, w e no longer aance
around a liberty-pole crowned with llowers,
having for our mistress the prettiest girl in the
neighborhood. Every one now selects his own
May Queen and dances around her and with
her to his heart's content. But such is life.

HAMMER AND KUSKIN.
The "IteLi Day" at the French Theatre.
Yesterday about 11 o'clock a few unhappy look
ing gentlemen assembled In front or the French
theatre in Fourteenth street. Among them were
Mr. WllllaH Butler Duncan, Mr. 8. Salomon, and
Mr. Frederick Pdllman, the first principal stock
holder of the French theatre, the second charge
d'ailalres for Mr. Grau, and the last present lessee
of the theatre. Mr. Grau being in Europe, of course
he was physically Incapacitated from attending. To
give the reason of this meeting It is necessary to
go some way back in the history or the theatre. In
the spring of IStitt the French Theatre was without
a lessee. Mr. Bateman and Mr. Grau both endea
vored to get it. Mr. Grau olTered tne most, and tho
theatre was handed over to htm tor five years at a
yearly rent or t'2(i,000, comprising the house on Fir
teenth street. At that time Mr. Grau was quite
wealthy, having made some f 135.0SO on the Ristori
engagement. Mr. fclrau paid down f 10,0110 deposit,
and commenced Immediately to Improve and
enlarge the theatre at a cost ot some
g30,0uu to himself. This was at his own
ritik, and he was supposed to get tho
benefit or the enlargement. Immediately after this
Mr. Grau's opera bvufie company came over from
Fiance, and is generally very well known to have
loBt a great deal of money for its manager. In fact,
so much that little by little he lost all he had, aud
gradually got behind hand in his rent. When the
o).era buvfi broke np Mr, Grau was some tio.ooo be
hind hand, and during the summer, the theatre be
ing untenanted, the matter got worse and worse,
until Mr. Grau in despair vouchsafed some property
he possessed to meet the demandsof the stockholders,
who were rather hard on him, considering that he had
made such notable improvements and been to such
expense for their theatre. Again, lately, Grau got
iu debt for rent, ajid, when owing some $12,000 here,
he suddenly lull fur Europe, leaviug his ail'atrs In a
very bad state of col. apse. Immediately Mr. Dun
can, the banker, commenced a suit in the .supreme
Court against Gran to dispossess blm ou ac
count of non-payment of rent. It was on this
decision that the sale took place yesterday. The
lease was first put up for sale for the three years
and a hair unexpired term, and after some de
sultory bidding was knocked down to Maurice
Friend for $:iuO. It was announced then that
anybody who sought Grau's unexpired lease
would have to pay Grau's arrearage of rent,
amounting to $12,000, besides the t'JO.WJu a year. But
Mr. Friend paid his deposit like a man. Then the
coBtumes, scenery, and properties of Mr. Grau were
put up. As they were not exhibited, though the list
semed very long, no one know what tuey were.
The highest bid was James 11. Taylor's, stage mana
ger of the Grand Opera House, to whom they were
knocked down for $00. It seems doubtful whether
he will get them, however, as Mr. Duncan, la leav
ing, enjoined that nothing be allowed to leave the
theatre without his permission .V. Y. Herald tu-day,
FREAKS OF A LUNATIC.
A Crazy IHnn Aniiinee tlliiisrlf by Throwlau
hirrrt Inn oil the Track.
About 9 o'clock last night, says the Louisville
Journal of Thursday, a man made his appearance
near tho c jrner of Fourth and Green streets, whose
actions created some excitement. Ue started a
minstrel show, aud told the boys who had cougre.
gated around blm that he would show them how
Johnny Allen does "Josephus Grange Blossom," and
after singing awhile he danced. Just as he was
dancing; after the last verse a street car came along,
when lie ran out aud stopped the car to tell the
driver that the "wheels had been turning." The
driver, seeing that be was fooled, started on with the
ear, when the yo tern, showman got a large rock,
aud, following the car, dashed It under the wheels,
throwing the oar off the track, when It run
. into tbe gutter. After this success the showman
I quit his first business and turned his attention to
street cars, nnd these he watched sharply nntll ha
frot a chance to repeat the act on the next ar. whlcn
te succeeded In. Finally, he went a little beyond
