Dea tn Of President Orton.

NEW YORK, April 22.-President William
Orton, of the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany, died suddenly of apoplexy at o'clock
this morning.
The announcement caused the utmost sur
prise throughout the city, and especially on
Wall street At first many refused to believe
the news, thinking that it was ruse gotten
up to affect the stock market, but when the
flag of the Western Union building was dis
played at half mast, it was apparent that the
intelligence was but too true
Yesterday morning Mr.. Orton arose as was
his custom, shortly after o'clock, and break
tasted with his family; he expressed himself
as greatly refreshed. He was unusually
lively after breakfast. He read the morning
news carefully, and shortly before II O'Clock
repaired to his dressingrOOm to prepare to
attend morning service at the Church OF the
Holy Apostles, of which he had been for sew
eral years vestryman. During the service
he and his wife partook of the holy sacra-
ment.
In the afternoon he took short drive and
returned to his home He partOok heartily OF
the evening repast, but at 9 O'Clock complained
of having sharp pain in his stomach How,
ever it did not alarm either himself or his
family, and he retired for the night an hour
later
At II o'clock Mrs Orton noticed that he be
gan breathing heavily, and asked him if he
felt worse He made no reply, and then
alarmed at his condition, she notified the rest
Of the family, who were soon at his bedside
DIR. Bauer was at once sent for, and upon feel
ing Mr.. Orton's pulse and examining his heac
said that he had been stricken with apoplexy
The usual remedies were applied, but without
avail, the stricken man never rallying ol

found murdered last night at Zale, Ala,
twenty miles from this city, as he was en-
deavoring to get to the train.
r. M. Palmer shot him In the back, and Jim
and Tom Holland shot as he was falling, with
out effect. They had stationed themselves In
the dark and in such q position as to prevent
him reaching the car without passing one OF
them. AS he walked into the light, Palmer
placed his pistol within about two feet OF his
back and fired. Holland fired as he fell, and
stood near, exultantly viewing his victim. The
Major regaiDed consciousness in few min
utes and saw the Hollands position, and with
what little vitality was left In him raised and
fired, but without effect. Palmer ran as soon
as the deed was committed, and Holland
when fired on.
The Maioriwas placed on special train,
which was waiting for him, and was brought
home, where he expired this morning at 9
o'clock.
The Palmer-Salisbury case was terminated
last night at 9 o'clock, and the jury awarded
Palmer one cent damages. Palmer brought
suit for 100000, which was instigated by
articles appearing in the Enqtirer-Sun about
Palmer's lawlesS conduct. From the begin
ming to the end they were determined to
either rob him or kill him, and succeeded, as
stated above.
The assassins are still at large, but will
doubtless soon be brought to justice as a re-
ward OF $500 has been offered for them. The
entire community Is under a fever OF excite
ment, and if captured, Judge Lynch will
handle their case.
Palmer is six feet high, Of light complexion,
heavy moustaehe andsgoatee, thin visage,
stoops little, and has swinging gait.

ASYLUM HORRORS.
THE STORY OF BLACkWELL's ISLAND
TREATMENT OF FEMALE LUNATICs.
Tender Sympathy for Dumb Brutes
Hut None for Poor and Help-
less Human BeinEs.

New YORK, April 22.-Shocking stories are
told to-day OF alleged abuses practiced in the
female lunatic asylum on Blackwells Island.
The asylum Is the largest in the State, and
one OF the largest In the United States One
Of the lady visitors of the institution on
Blackwells Island says:
while visiting one of the main halls, we
heard loud noise In one of the rooms, and in
2 moment after, one of the unfortunate luna
tics suddenly ran out of the room screaming
and entirely naked, and was chased by the
nurses the entire length of the ward, and
finally captured and taken into one Of the
rooms; On our inquiring into the case, we
found that nurses were douching this insane
woman with cold water This was during
the winter months, and the weather was very
cold; An unfortunate patient, who was al
most well two weeks ago, is now dying from
brutal assault"
The Herald says: We have society or
ganized for the prevention of cruelty to ami
mails: We hear Of cruel men being punished
for ill-treating dumb brutes, whose patient
suffering touches the hearts of good and
generous people; but there is seemingly but
little interest extended to the sufferings of the
helpless paupers who are crowded into our
charitable institutions.
