THE KINGSBRIDGE ROAD. SHALL THE WORK BE DONE BY CONTRACT OR DAY'S WORK. ‘The Committee on Roads of the Board of Aldermen met yesterday, and several persons who own property along the line of the road and adjacent to it appeared to give their views as to Whether the work should be done A petition, signed by thirty prominent property owners, and which, it was stated, represented the views of at least 300 other property owners along the road, was submitted to the committee, asking that the work be done by day’s work under the supervision of the Commission of Public Works, and that the road be macadam- ized on both sides and the middle be built with earth alone, just as Tenth avenue north of 156th strect was constructed, It seems that there is some difference of opinion among the property holders us to the way the work should be done, some contending that if" it is done by contract it will not be so well dono. as if carried on by day’s work, while, at the sume time, the entire roud Would be closed to travel, Others who. were present said that by contract the work could be done at less cost than by duy’s work, and that if the job was under the direction and supervision of the Depattment of Public Works the contractor would have todo the job thoroughly. ‘Those who are in favor of tho day's work idea said that the road by day’s work could. be done by piece work, as it were, und no obstruction to travel would ensue. In order that all persons in- terested in the completion of the road might appear be- fore the committee when all the members would be present, Alderman McCarthy adjourned the meeting to Wednesday next.

PROBABLE RESUMPTION OF THE BANK OF CALI- FORNIA—THE STORY O¥ TELEGRAPH CONSOLI- DATION FROM A MEMBER OF THE E¥XECUTIVE COMMITTEE--SUDDEN DEATH OF A STOCK BROKER—ODDS AND ENDS. Most encouraging news was received by telegraph from California yesterday iu regard to the resumption of the Bank of California, 1, would be idle to say that these reports were hot without their effect. Prices on the Stock Exchange, after having declined in the early morning trades, stiffened in later dealings, and the imarket closed decidedly strong. A private despatch from San Francisco was shown, which indicated that Messrs, Mills, Sharon, Keene, Baldwin, Cohen and others would advance sufficient capital to set the WHEELS OF THE GREAT BANK again in motion. As far as could be ascertained there have been some private transactions in Culifornia in mining stocks, the principal change being in Consoli- dated Virginia, at 225, it having sold at 207 the day be- fore the Bank of California suspended, THE TRLEGRAPH DISPUTE, ‘The dispute among the telegraph people occupies the usual prominence among Wall street dealers. Yester- day the Western Union Company held a private meet- ing, and nothing could be learned as to the transactions in secret session. A HERALD representative waited on i one of the Executive Committee, Mr, Frank Work, the Broad street banker, and was furnished with the following information:—“Some time since Mr. Jay * Gould—in his own handwriting—made a proposition to the Westorn Union Telegraph to appoint a conference committee to mect a like committes from the Atlantic ) and Pacifle Telegraph Company, in order, if possible, to arrange terms for consolidation, The committee ap- pointed by the Western Union, according to this quest, consisted of ex-Governor Morgun, Mr. Durkeo and myself, to meet Mr, Sydney Dillon and A. J. Syms ‘on-the part of the other company. We acceded to their “proposition—é. ¢., to recommend to our board the pur- chase of their line, and to guurantee an interest of seven per cent on. $2,500,000 of their capital. This was }+ @ quasi agreement and honorable intention on our part, ‘Yo-day a meeting of the Western Union Company took place, und trom street reports we heard that the | Atlantic and Pacitle Company did not intend to keep | faith with us, but not one word was mentioned in the } Board about the company or Jay Gould. We transucted } Our business as if no such corporation or individual ex- } isted, It is understood, however, that after the session of the directors Mr, Orton ri ed @ communication } trom Mr. Gould, in Which a withdrawal of all negotia- } tions Was made, thus abrogating their own proposition, ! one that had never been invited by us, and to which we did not in any way respond save by the courtesy | usual among boards of direction governing the same | interests.’” SUDDEN DEATH OF 4 STOCK BROKER, ‘Ybe flag of the Exchange wus yesterday at half-mast in honor of Ma O. W. C, Shack, whose sudden death at | his residence, No. 173 Madison avenue, was: the cause of many sincere regrets, Mr. Shack was a useful and highly esteemed member of the Board of Brokers, and the shock of his demise occasioned the greater regret inasmuch as he was transacting business und seemed in full health twenty-four hours before his death, RAILROAD NOTES, As intimated in this column yesterday, the New Jersey and New York Railway Coipany pad promptly | the interest on their outstanding bonds. This company has a dispute with the Erie, over whose road they ran from the junction to Pavonia ferry, While-forwarding their passengers by the New Jersey Midland road they have appealed to the Chancellor of New Jersey for a tement of the matter in dispute with the Erie. According to the statements given in the Henao | yesterday, und which seem to be confirmed by the course | of the stock market, the questions long pending between {| the Panama Railroad and the Pacitic Mail Steamship | companies seem to have been finally seted. By the terms of the agreement the business of both companies, comprising the earnings on freight and passenger car- Tiage, is to be divided. Of the business to California the Panama compauy is to receive one-fourth and the Pacific Mail three-foarths. ‘The Central America business is to | | be divided so that the Panama will receive one-third and the Pacitic Mail two-thirds. The business to Pana- ma is to be divided equally between the companies, Thes agreement is for five years, dating from March 1, 87 Yesterday the interest of the second and third mort- gage Erie bonds was being paid by the Treasurer of that eompany.
