NEW YORK, Sept. 2.-The Boston &
Charleston Steamship Company have
filed an assignment of their property to
Thomas NJ. Hampstead.
Additional attachments were granted
against the property of the California
Bank located in this city in the follow
ing suits: Henry A. Tuzo, eli, 800; job n
L. Carr, $4,000 gold; Frederick X. But
terfield, $4,000; and Dennis McMahon,

The funeral of the colored preacher,
David FL. Vandervere, killed by train
at Long Branch, took place yesterday
afternoon from the Shiloh Colored
Church. The remains were inferred In
Cypress Hill Cemetery.
signor Pietro Vaini, of Rome, Italy,
who has for several years occupied a
prominent position as painter In this
city, yesterday attended picnic at City
Island, given by Congressman Odell, OF
West Chester. After several speeches
had been delivered, he asked permission
to speak and quoted some beautiful lines
of.poetry in his native tongue. He then
suddenly drew small revolver from his
pocket and shot himself through the right
temple.
Tie members OF the party at first
thought it was merely stimulation OF
suicide, and began to applaud what they
believed to be q fine piece OF tragic act
ing. They were soon horror stricken by
the discovery Of the truth; The unfor-
tunate man died after lingering four
hours, during which time he did not
speak. All the friends Of Signor Vaini
are convinced that his suicide was the
result of mental disorder. Many of the
works of the ill-tated artist have at
tracted attention at the exhibitions of
the Academy of Design, They were re-
markable for their brilliancy of color
and were chiefly devoted to subjects in
which the tragic element was involved.
? 1t is now pretty definitely settled that
all negotiations for the consolidation Of
the Western Union and Atlantic and
Pacific Telegraph lines have come to an
end witnouJ the probability of any
further attempt, at least for the present
on the part Of the Western Union to
effect that object. 1t was reported early
yesterday that another meeting TO re-
consider the subject would be held in
the afternoon, but no such meeting took
place. 1t is not now believed that any
further conference is contemplated.
A meeting OF the Executive Committee
of the w. U. Company was held in the
afternoon, aud in the proceedings it is
understood that no reference was made
to any consolidation with the Atlantic
& Pacific Company, probably owing to
the abrupt termination OF the CONFER
ence yesterday, and the rejection OF the
Union. A report Of the Conference
Committee which met yesterday, will
shortly be made to the Directors Of the
Atlantic Il Pacific.
The officers Of the latter company ex-
press themselves as confident Of the fu-
ture success of the company. 1t is un-
derstood that orders have already been
issued for the resumption of work at all
points where there had been a suspen-
sion consequent upon the consolidation
prospects, and general extension Of
lines will be made.
Instructions have been given to com.
plete the line from Chicago to st. Louis.
On this route of 2S5 miles of wire, 23O
miles have already been put up, leaving
only fifty miles to be completed. The
building of additional branch routes is
also i'll contemplation.
It is rumored that the Western Union
has requested ofthe Southern and Atlan-
tic Telegraph Company the cancellation
OF the contract made by the latter COM
pany with the Western Union for the
use OF a wire between Washington and
New York. In the event of this contract
being annulled the Southern and Atlan-
tic will probably resume its connection
with the Atlantic and Pacific, thus maxi
ing direct route from New York to
New Orleans.
