to get control Of the Western Union Tele-
graph Company in the annual election
which occurs early In October. To do
this it is not necessary tor him to buy .
majority of the stock; a sufficient mass OF
proxies win be quite a effectuai. For
this purpose he is employing IN ingenious
novelty, believed to be of his own inven-
ton. A great portion of the company
shares are in the hands of brokers who
have advanced money upon them to spec
ulators by whom they have been purchas-
ed. For the transfer Of such shares, Mr..
Gould, as We are informed, 10 now paying
q neat commission. The shares after be-
ing transferred are at once handed back
to their holders. SO that they are in no
danger of being sold By the new ostensi-
BILE owner, and can be transferred back
again upon the books Of the company at
ter the election. This secures to Gould OF
his representative the night to vote upon
these shares, and should he succeed BY
this means in getting command Of the
Company, and electing board of direc
tors to suit himself. be will thus gain the
power of distributing after the old Erie
fashion, that immense part Of the com
