: t . Tm A CHANGE DELAYED. Attorney Elphinstone Thinks Alle gheny Will Eemain as at Present. HE POINTS OUT HIS EEASOHS. Stumbling Blocks in the Way That Cannot Well be Overlooked. EESULTS OP BIS IUKEISBUEG TEIP City Attorney Elphinstone, of Allegheny, returned from Harrisburg yesterday, where be Las been for several days looking into n atters connected -with the future of the "Sorthside city. From what could be learned from Mr. Elphinstone, the chances of Allegheny's becoming a city of the second class during 1S91, or even at a later date in the near luture, are not of the most encouraging na ture. There are a number of serious ob stacles in the nay of such a chance, and a great many interests will have to be consid ered before such a change is brought about. When asked for the status of affairs at the present time Mr. Elphinstone said: "I will Lave to refer to some matters of the past in order to make the situation plain. At the last session of the Legislature, owing to a decision ot the Supreme Court, it became necessary lor Allegheny to be coverned as all other cities o! the third class were, or become a city of the second class The question involved was in regard to the validity of the "Wallace act. Iiathcr than he subjected to the code then in preparation for cities of the third class. Councils, by a unanimous vote, elected to become a city of the second class. Accordingly, a committee went before the Legislature with two acts, or bills, one pro viding for Allegheny becoming a city of the second class, and another providing ways and means for the transition. After a fight the latter bill was defeated, but the classifi cation measure was passed. Allegheny wanted both bills or none, but Mr. Quay evidently thought differently. SEASONS TOR DESIRING BOTH. "There was a multitude of reasons for de siring both. One was that the Council manic representation would be decidedly unbalanced UDder second class regulations. Then there would be 58 Common Council men and only 13 Select, or 1 from each ward. The former would be chosen on the basis of population, while the latter would be elected on the basis of wards. Kow you can see that this would give seven members or a majority of Select Council the power to check all city legislation. I might add right here that during the consideration of the two bills lefcrred to the Supreme Court reversed itself on the Wallace act, leaving the city under the old law. "Sow there is just as much necessity fora division of the wards so as to equalize the representation ot Select Councilmen as ever, and this question wilt, have to be submitted to the people at softie future municipal election. If Allegheny should become a city of the second cla's before this division is "made, why then the matter would be be yond remedy. "Xow the" classification bill provided that whenever it appeared that there was suffi cient population to warrant the creation of a city of the second class the Governor should issue a certificate to this effect, which, if issued 30 days before the election, the change could go into effect on the first Mon of April following. So you see the condi tion things are in. Without the passage of that transition bill it would almost disrupt the city to change to the second class. The Legislature does not meet until January, and the Allegheny elections occur in Feb ruary. COULDN'T BE DONZ IN TIME. "It is not probable that this bill could be brought up in time to make the change neit spring, provided it can be passed at all. This is one stumbling block. Another is that Governo- Beaver has not decided whether he has power to issue this certifi cate on the strength of Census Supervisor Porter's figures, or whether he willjhave to wait until Congress gives the census returns its stamp of approval. I had a long talk with Governor Beaver and Attorney Gen eral Kirkpatrick on all the points men tioned, but they gave me no intimation of what action thev might take, and I have no idea when the Governor will decide in re gard to the certificate." "What is you- opinion in regard to making a chance?"' "Why, I believe it would be better for the city to leave it just as it is for the present" hat ao you mean oy tnisv "I mean that the transition should not take place for some time to come." "What is the sentiment so far as you know about a redivision of the wards ofthe city?" "The representation should be more nearly equal. Many people think that if the charter conies into force there should be at least 29 wards. This would give just half as many Select Councilmen as we now have in the Common branch, but this is for the people to decide." From other seemingly reliable sources it is reported that the feeling against changing the present order of things is growing rapid ly. One Alleghenian stated that he was satified fully four-fifths of the Councilmen were opposed to it, and that it would be sev eral years before the new form of govern ment would be adopted. BEOSI MUST COME. The Canadian Court of Appeals Decides Tliat He Must be Surrendered. John C. Brosi, the absconding Southside jeweler, will shortly be surrendered to the United States authorities. Officers will be sent to Toronto, Canada to bring hip home for trial. The Court of Appeals decided his case at Toronto, Ontario, Monday. The legal fight has been a hard-fought "one ou both sides. Brosi has spent money lavishly, but in vain. One More Cash Boy Missing. John Daily, conductor on car Uo. 20, of the Second Avenue Electric road, disap peared rather suddenly from his car at Marion station last night about 9 o'clock. The motorman made the round trip to the stables with the car himself, and after dili gent search failed to learn anything of Daily's whereabouts. Holiday Sneak Thieves at Work. Sneak thieves entered the hallways in the house of James Kennedy, on Franklin street, last evening and stole a lady's sacque, an overcoat and two umbrellas from the hat rack. The thieves gained entrance by pick ing the spring lock on the hall door. A Waiter and Count A man who claimed to be a waiter and a German Count was picked up in Allegheny last evening very drnnk. He was arraved in lull dress, and had SI 39 in his pockets. When arrested he was declaiming in ora torical fashion. Taj lor Ont of Danger.

The Yerestchagen Art Collection ti bo Placed In the Carnegie Gallery. The famous art collection of the painter "Verestchagen will be exhibited this winter in the Carnegie Art Gallery, Allegheny. It was so decided by the Allegheny Library Committee last night. The collection is now on exhibition in Boston and Mr. Beat tv has secured a guarantee from Mr. Du Fuv, Mr. Hostetter, Mr. Buyers and Mr. Phipps that they will see that the exhibi tors will be reimbursed for any outlay in the transportation and exhibition of the collection.

For Receiving Stolen Goods. Jacob Davis, of Xo. 13 Onr alley, had a hearing before Magistrate Hyndmanlast night to answer a charge of receiving stolen goods preferred by Inspector Whitehouse, who, with Special Officer McLaughlin, tes tified that a lot of brasses belonging to the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad had been found in his possession. He was committed to jail in default of 5500 bail for court PIANOS, ORGANS AND EOLIANS, Scarfs, Stools, Music Cabinets and Covers for Christinas, at Mellor Ilocne's. The largest and finest and most complete holiday stock of pianos, organs, etc., is to be seen at the old and famous establishment of Mellor & Hoene, at the "Palace of Music," 77 Filth avenue, where lovers of music will hear and see such makes of instruments that will prove a perpetual de light to the purchaser. The delicious, re fined quality of tone and very sonorous; the light elastic action, respond to the most delicate touch of the performer; the hand some and artistic case work, and especially lrom the fact that he knows he has a piano or organ of renowned worth and excellence and first-class and reliable, does the pur chaser derive the most solid satisfaction.
