New YORK, April 21.-The stockholders
Of the Western Union Telegraph Company

cOrdance with the ruling OF the Court.
There was only one dissenting voice, and
that came from Josiah &. Reiti, holder Of
one hundred shares of Western Union

written protest against any vote being
taken. on various grounds, the principal
ones being because 1t was competing and
not connecting line; that its cOnsolida-
ton was contrary to law and in opposition
to the Constitutions OF sundry States. lie
protested also against the reception Of votes
representing any Of the Slj,00O,0 900 increase

now so blended that il was impossible TO
select the genuine from the Illegal. With
exception Of this protest, Mr.. Roif took no
active part in the meeting. even declining
to vote.
The votes in favor OF ratifying the lease
amounted 10 $50 out OF q total OF $780,
Geo. Same votes were also cast in favor OF

Cranks ut the white House.

AN ENDLESS PROCESSION or "sECOND GUT-
TEAUs" TO SEE THE PRESIDENT.
Washington Letter in Chicago News.l
Very close watch is now being kept at
the White House for crankS. Although
little has been said about it, hardly day
passes but a maniac calls and tries TO see
the President. No person whose sanity is
at all questionable is now permitted TO 60
upstairs. Guiteau used 10 have free ac-
cess TO the executive offices. but now no
one at all resembling him has any
chance Of admission. Sergeant DinsmOrc, in
charge OF the door, has become so GXpe-
rienced in detecting cranky people that he
can tell one instantly. He has great sue
cess in managing them, and persuading
them to 90 away without rcsorting to
violent means. Yesterday tall, broad
shouldcre1 man came to the door with a
bundle under his arm.
"Can | see the Prc>i1ont?" nc asked.
The doorkeepcr saw that he was crazy,
and SAID 81 don't believe you can now ;
won't some one else dO?'
"No: must see the President"
After little conversation the latter was
persuaded TO show his bundle and tell what
he wanted. Unfolding his pack. he took
the doOrkeeper aside. Out Of the bundle
he took a Bible. In the Bible was lot Of
diagrams. II have called to tell the Presi-
dent about eX-Secrctary Starton," the
crank said.
"What about him."
"You know it was said at the time he
died he committed suicide. Now. this j.
not true. He was murdered. and nine men
committed the crime. Their names l have
here. They were given me in visions, a.
you will see by these diagrams. | want
these men punished"
Following this unfortunate came wO-
man who was a veteran OF the Mexican
war. She had been shot while serving as
soldier. and wanted Il pension. II was
only few days ago that 4 savage-loOking
man. who had been drinking, came to the
White House and gave violent pull at the
bell. When the Sergeant came he said:
IL want TO see the President"
''You can't see him." was the reply.
Perhaps YOU don't know who am 2"
Il don't care who you are. You can't
see him."
"Do you know | am 4 second CUT
team"
at doesn't make any difference. You
can't come in here. Get right out"
The man went off muttering. The at
PENDANTS generally meet these cases by pro-
missing them anything they ask, and get
them out by telling them TO 20 home, so
rs to be on hand when the President goes
out to call on them. There is m endless
procession Of cIankS coming and going,
and great watchfulne,S must he exercised.
The Government asylum here has pretty
well filled up with cranky people, who are
quietly picked up from time to time. There
are over eight hundred inmates in the aSy-
lum at present.

AN OLD MAN ~ REDEIL COUNTY Is SHOT TO
DEATH BY TWO BOYS--A DISPUTE OVER \
DIVIDING LINE TERMINATES II BLOODsHED.
The Charlotte CN. CO. Jo1THQl- Observer
gives the following particulars OF the KILL
ing Of Mr.. John Redman by his two
nephews: Mr. John Rcdman. an old clti-
zen OF Ircdell county, was killed by two
Of his ncphews, sons Of Mr.. AbSalom Red
man. on the morning OF the 18th instant,
i'm a quarrel over the dividing line between
their lands. some few weeks ago a surveyor
was employed 10 divide the land, and a dis
mite arose between the Redman family over
The course of q certain line. \ few days alter
wards. however. the two sons OF Mr. AbSa-
Ioin Redman commenced % move the fence
on TO the line a. run by the surveyor, when
the wife OF John Rcdman came out and ran
the bows away. She was armed win q
gun and fred on the boys. On the morn
inc OF the fatal difficulty, they procured q
gun and started out determined to build
the fence as ,hey had started it. They bad
scarcely commenced work, when their un-
Gle, John Redman, came out and made an at
tack on them, when a general fight ensued.
The uncle drew knife and endeay0rcd TO
cut the boys, but they warned him off FOR
the third time, when still persisling IN his
endcaYOrs 10 cut them, one OF TIE boys
picked up the gun and discharged its con-
tents in Mr.. Rcdman's BODY. lie fell 10
the ground when il is stated the second
nephew jumped on him and beat him until
he was dead.
Mr. James T. Anderson, the coroner OF
Iredell county, went out 10 the scene OF
the murder. which is some distance from
Stalesyillc. last Thursday 10 hold an In
ques., but we have been unable to hear the
result, and give the above particulars as
they were related TO parties in Statesvlle.
Our informant, speaking Of the Redmans,
states that they are family noted for their
lawlessness, aud further and more serious
troubles are expected to result from the
tragic killing OF the old man. His son was
in Statesyile on the morning OF the kill
ing. and was feariuly incensed against the
bows and their father when the news reach
ed him. Within the knowledge OF the old
est citizens OF Iredell there hos never been
a session OF the Superior Court but some
member OF the Redman family was ON trial
for some violation OF the laws.
Absalom Redman. the father OF the TWO
bows who murdered the old man, is Bap-
tjsi minister. The boys were arrested and
held In custody 10 await the result oil the
coroner's inquest. Their plea Will be that
they killed their uncle In self-defence.
