Death Of President Orion

Hon. William Orion President of
the Western Union Telegraph Co..
died at his home in New York last
Monday morning. The immediate
cause of his death was apoplexy.
The career of Orion, since becom-
ingsthe head of this vast combination
of telegraphic interests, is well known
to the public. He was master Of all
its branches, and controlled them
with conspicuous energy and ability.
The consolidation of the Atlantic and
Pacific Company with the Western
Union Company last year was chief
ly due to Orton's efforts. In deem
Der, 1867, he established the Journal
of Telegraphy.
Orion leaves wife and eight chill
dren to whom he was devotedly at
tached. Although not remarkably
wealthy he had accumulated consid-
cradle and during the last few years,
had heavily insured his life. The to-
tai amount Of policies upon his life in
in various companies is reported to be
from $4,000 to 100000.
