BRANCHING OUT WELL.
Schools of Medicine and Law to Be Estab-
lished Under the Auspices of the West
ern University-A New Departure Ex-
Dected to Do Well.

Schools of Medicine and Law to Be Estab-
1ished Under the Auspices of the West
ern University-A New Departure Ex-
pected to Do Well.
The most important event in educational
circles has been move made this week by
the two institutions of advanced instruction
in this county-the Western Pennsylvania
College of Medicine and Surgery and the
Western Pennsylvania University. Chan
cellor Hollands activity and success during
his brief discharge of the duties of his new
office attracted the attention of the eminent
physicians and surgeons who have built up
here school of medicine and surgery from
mere suggestion to a graduation class this
year of over so, and they decided that mu-
tual interests with the university would be
to the benefit of both institutions. To
that end these gentlemen sug-
gested to the authorities who dominate
on Observatory Hill that such fraterniza-
tion could be accomplished.
To men of the business judgment of the
university trustees this proposition pre-
sented large possibilities, and it can be now
stated as fact that the medical and surg
ical department will be a prominent feature
IN the university promising future. Inc
details of this arrangement are yet to be
perfected but they will be completed with
out difficulty.
Another important move by the uni
versity people is yet in its infancy, but if
encouragement can accomplish anything, it
will also be live, wholesome reality in the
fall. That is law department at the same
university, or under its fatherly care some
place in this city. There are four prom
inent lawyers on the Board of Trustees.
They, in connection with the Chancellor,
will complete a plan for course of law
lectures, and there will be placed within
the reach of students the great advantages
of instruction by the best equipped legal
minds at the bar. The Bar Association has
not taken any action in the matter as yet,
but a large number of its members have ex-
pressed hearty willingness to secure that
body's Endorsement of the project. 1t is
not quite decided just how provision will
be made for this department., but that is
matter of detail that will not puzzle the
brains used to more knotty problems. The
nearest law school to this city is Philadel-
phia, and westward and in other directions
stretches wide field for operations. Con-
sidering that over so young men have been
admitted to practice law in this county
alone within tine past year there does not
seem to be any. question about success.

People Will Travel When Given a Cheap,
Excursion Rate.
The Union depot was crowded with peo-
pie last evening who took advantage of the
excursion rates to pay friends a visit or go
East for little pleasure. No extra trains
were run, but the cars were full and it was
necessary to add extra ones on all the
through trains.
The scenes in the station reminded the
trainmen of a holiday. There were the
usual number of good-natured drunks,
who gave the officers plenty of
trouble, but as to-day is the Fourth
they were allowed to proceed on their jour
ney. The young bloods who will paint New
York and Atlantic City to-day, and then
talk about it for the next six months, were
well represented, and altogether everybody
seemed bent on good time and all were
happy.

A MIGRANTS VISIONS.
He Returns to Find Many Changes
After an Absence of Long Years.
FLEEING AWAY FOR THE FOURTH.
A Southside Man Quietly Passes the Rubi-
con During His. Sleep.
SNAP SHOTS ON TWO CITY'S SCENES

He was q tramp. His blue shirt, the
worse for wear and collarless, nondescript
and i'll fitting garments, slouch hat with
most of the rim gone and brogans denoted
that. Any doubt was dispelled by glance
at his ne 'er-do-well appearance and general
air of indifference to the buffetings of for
tune which characterized the man as he
stood at the corner of Fourth avenue and
Grant street last evening. He was an old
man, probably 60, and he boarded the cleo
trio car, which he presently hailed, in a
feeble manner A DISPATCH reporter
CHANGED to follow him into the car.
The old man sat down beside woman
with child on her lap. Both were neatly
dressed and the child's white frock brushed
up against the old mans knees. The en-
trance of the tramp attracted the child, and
in turn, its mother, who ostentatiously
gathered the child's dress away from their
neighbor, casting at him look of disdain.
Some women are so constituted. The tramp
left his seat at once and took another beside
the reporter opposite, and addressed him
after moment in a modulated tone and an
accent that denoted refinement.
pardon me-" he said; 81 understand
there is music at Highland Park this even
ing. Am on the right carp"
He was on the right car.
81 used to belong in Pittsburg," the old
man went on when he had received his
change, 'but that was a great many years
ago, fully 40 years-a lifetime-and I only
returned here few days since. 1 scarcely
remember the city, so many changes in its
appearance have occurred in that time. 1
have seen potatoes dug where those squares
of houses now stand and all along here was
farm land" And in this way the tramp
summed up recollections ofhis early days un-
til the terminus was reached. And this old
vagrant, who did not seem to have ten cents
to his name, conversed with an intelligence
on subjects of the day which would have
done credit to Depew.
"Do they charge for admission to the
park?" inquired the old fellow anxiously,
as he followed the crowd up the hill He
was quickly relieved on this point. Dur
ing the evening the reporter once more
came across the old man. He was lying on
the grass, within 20 feet of the bandstand,
waiting for the music that didn't come.
care you enjoying yourself sir?" He
started as if suddenly awakened from o
dream.
81 am happy" was his sole response.

FEW FIRES ON THE FOURTH.

Records Tell Tale In Favor of Fire-Crack-
ers-Chief Brown Does Not Believe in
Spelling the Boys Fun When No Damage
Is Caused.
IF the fire record to-day is not greater
than that of the Fourth of July one year
ago she will be fortunate. Notwithstanding
the fact that fireworks and crackers have
been promiscuously used in the city for sew
eral years past, the number of fires has been
comparatively small.
Last year there were but four alarms, one
of which was still alarm, and none were
serious. In 1889 there were two more. In
1888 there were 10 alarms during the day,
but no fires of any consequence. Since
1874. when the great fire occurred in ALLIE
gheny, the Fourth of July has been unat-
tended by large confagrations in this city.
Special preparations have been made for
to-day in order to prevent break in this
good record. There will be no holiday for
tiremen, and all the engine houses will be
equipped with the full number Of men.
Although nearly 100 policemen will be re-
quired at Schenley Park, the usual reserve
force will be quartersd at No. Patrol
station, ready to respond to all alarms OF
fire in the First district, and assist the fire
men by controlling the crowds. Chief
Browns position regarding the use of ex-
plosives in the city has been fully sustained
by the records of the past few Fourths.
81 am a firm believer" said the Chief
last night, sin allowing all the privileges
possible on the Fourth of July. The boys
must have their fun, and as long as they do
no damage to property there should be no
objections. The police will interfere with
nobody shooting frecrackers tomorrow,
except where they are used in alleys and
backyards. While they keep on the open
streets they will not be molested. Ofcourse
there is danger of frightening horses with
loud explosions, but owners Of nervous ami
mails should be content to keep them in the
stable at least one day in the year. The
Fourth of July is dry affair to the boys
unless they can smell powder, and do not
believe in depriving them of their pleasure. "

in the capacity for Hanlon, and Frank
Driscon officiated for McGovern. Max Fell
was referee.
The fight lasted for about Is minutes.
Each man was beaten about the face to such
an extent that he could hardly be recog-
nized. Captain Unterbaum and several
officers arrested the principals, the seconds
and the referee. A large crowd was pres
ent, but escaped. The fight originated from

Passengers started from their seats, expect
