Ogden died at his villa residence at Boscobel, near High Bridge, at 3:20 o'clock this morning. Mr. Ogden had been In feevle health for nearly three years, and for the last elzht months had not been at his oitlce In the National firk Kank Bullding, although he had taken regular datty carriage drives till the en.tof last wee'. ‘The value of the estate lett by Mr. Oxden fs various Iy estimated at from #5,000,090 to $10,000,000, Most of the property fs in the We He owns ed alarge estate in New Jeracy, whero lis an- cestors came from, besides his valuable estate at Bosaubel, where, for the last six years ot hls life, he rested. ‘This restdence led him to de+ vote much attention to the improvement of transit facilities in New York, and among the many achemes projected that of an underground railroad. = came from Mr Ogden. He remained a bachelor till 1875. Then, at tho are of 70, he married Miss Marian Arnot. eldest daughter of Mr. Jou Arnot, the well known railroad and real-estate owner of El- mira. Miss Arnot was more than 30 years old at the time of the marriage, and survives ber husband. In bts younger days Mr. Ogden had been en- Raged toa young lady who died before they were married. He was afterwards engaged to another lady in the West, but the marriage never came off. This lary Is stitt lvihg. Mr..Oden leaves a brother atid three slaters. The whole estate belonging to Mr. Ogden has -been in the hands of ex-Comptroller Green since Jan, 13, 1877, Before that it had been managed by Mr. Canda, one of the partners of Mr. Ogden in hls new canal enterprise, Mr. Green bosa full power of attorney, and man- ages the whole estate, The Times, in ite editorial on William B. Oz- den, beaded “A Representative American,” says: “The life of William B. Ogden, which closed at Hich Bridge yesterday, not only cov- ers a large portion of Ainerican history, but has been closely = Wentlfied with some of the most important industrial developments of the last half century. He was buying land at and near the present alte ot Chicago, when the place of the future city was marked only hy Fort Dearborn and a few huts, and when the lend which bears some of the costlicst buildings of the metropolis of the West could he had for a few dollurs an acre. His observing eye took {nthe future develop- ment of the great Northwest while as yet the Indian paddled bis canoe on Lake Michigan, end the traveler had to pass through the villages of populous trives of red men to penetrate into Wisconeln or to reach the banks of the Missle- sippl. Ho louked: over the Western country with the perceptions of « trained man of business when there were little more than 5,000 persons between Lake Michtyan and the Pacific, and he lived to sec the population of that portion of the country focreased more than two-thousand-foid. Mr. Ogden's career was full of sugeestive con- trasts, to an extent which is found In.the life of but few men of business, He was the first Mayor of Chicago, and one of the chief sufferers from the fire which threatened to terminate the existence of the city over whose development tie had watched so sedulous- ly. We know of nothlug more dramatic in the Metory of commercial trials and trlumphs than his experience in the great fire. ‘At one fell swoop’ went a args proportion of his property ond his wealth, but the accumu- lated misfortunes fell upon a man who was something more than s mere money grabber,” and whose practical Instincts, combined with hts feolloge of humanity, nerved him to the effort of repairing the work of devastation sud ruin which might well have unnerved tho most stoleal of men. When the American Defoe shall arise to relate the details of the Chicago fire, and the yet unrecorded horrors of the more terriblo flaine that swept the pluo forcate of Wisconsin, the name of William B, Ogden will have a distinguished placo amung men who were frst to rumember in that double ruin the American apirit of hopefulness and self-help." Wiliam B. Ogden, the rst Mavor of Chicazo, died at is residence, High-Bridge, New York, op Thursday morning at Qo'clock, This an- nouncement will be recelyed by all our older citizens with feelings of the deepest sorrow. They knew him only to respect and hovor bim. No anan in all the history of the city better un- derstood its commanding commerclat position and no man did mora to fufluence the world to appreciate It, and, in fact, to make Chicagu the leading central city uf tho continent. It would be Impossible for this or any other age to overeatimate the value of bis serrices of to ren der an adequate tribute to hig memory. Wiillam B. Ogden was born at Walton, Dela- ware County, N. ¥,, on the 15th of Juno, 1805, and was, therefore, a little more than 72 years of age, His father, Abraham Ogden, belonged toone of the oldest and most influential fami- les of Eastern New Jersey, At 1S ho was {n- duced by Goy, Mahlon Dickerson, a friend of his father, to visit tho new sottlement of Wal- ton, and, withan eye to the prospective great wealth to be derived from the splendid pine forest In tho Valley of the Delaware, he made {t his home for life, tu 1790-2 some of the lead- ing oflcers of the Revolutionary War, withuut money and without business, having previously obtained a patent for. a largo quantity of Jand, elghty miles west of Catskill, took thelr Uttle effecte and their families on pack-boreces throurh tho wildernvas over the mountains westward to Walton, Among these was James Weed, of New Canaan, Faire field County, Conn, His daughter became tho wife of Abraham Ogden sud tue mother of tho tnan whose history bas become indelibly con- nected with that uf Chicago, As might be sup- posed, the citizens of Walton were among tho most culttvated and infucntla) people in tho early Llstory of the State of Now York. Mr. Oguen chose the Jaw for his profession, and bad commenced bis preparatory studies, when, his father’s health failing, hia sun, at the early age of 10, was required to take charge of bis Jumbcring ani) mercantile busiucss. This was very extensive, requiriug him to visit «© Philadelphia, = New York, and nearly all the towns and citica in the Vulleys of the Delaware and Hudson Rivers. He seemed to make uo effort to schieve success ora leading position among bis fellows, for on account of uis splendid presence aud great abli- itics these Were at onco conceded to him. Io 1834 ho was elected to tho Legislature of the Btate of New York aa the best mau to sdvocate agrant of afd from the State in the construction of the Erle Railway through the southern tier of counties, ‘Though no man seemed to have 6 brighter fu- ture before him in bis native State, be deter- mined Yo follow the slar of empire to the West, and arrived fn this city ia Junc, 1835, He had airealy atudicd carefully every tact io regard.to the climate, soll, and resources of tho North- west and the position of Chavo in regurd to it that bad come within bis reach; aud his judg- ment of thelr great future never faltered for amoment. Me and bis friends purchesed largo quantities of real catate, assured that uo in- Yestwent would be wore safe or realize a larger profit. At first his principal business was to care for the lands belonging to biwself sud bis fripnde, but gradually aud imperceptibly his ‘tiem, under tha name of Ogden, Jones & Co., and afterwards Uplen, Fleetwood & Co., berame, the largest real-estate house inthe cits, ‘Their transactions hare been enormous, and even now they protably control a larger realty than any other firm. In 1845 Mr, Ogden hecame embarrassed, prin- cinally by the assistance he gave to his frients, but by 1843 these were all wlocd out, and since then he has been one of the largest and most successful operators in the country. No one can now tell whal effect the immense deprecta- tion tn values has hadupos his estate, but [t has been, and probably now fs, enormous, ‘No man ever had n hizher rezard for public an'l private honor than William B. Ogden. To 1537 it wan seriously proposed te repudiate the city debt, and a mecting was held to discuss the question.

He was tirst Presliont, and was most efficient in building what was then called. the Northwestern Railway, now extending via Janesville and Green Bay to Lake Superior aud by the West Wisconsin to st. Poul. Ie was largely Influential (n building the Michigan Central and the Micaizan Southern Tailways, and he was a Director in the Pittsburg & Fort Wayne. He was first Treasurer of the Union Paciite Railway and a Director in the Northern Pacific.

The lite of William B. Ogden was tou busy to vertult lum to envage much fn polities. “He nevertheless accepted the State Senatorahlp in 180-31. Thourh his soclal qualities were of the highest order, he did not marry till Feb. 9, 1973, He had been for many yeurs acquainted with his wife, Miss Arnot, the daughter of a wealthy banker of Etmira, N.Y. She is a most excellent aud bighly-accomplished lady, ond her ceasvless care und detivate attentions have contributed most ellectually to cheer and brighten the weary months and days of the last 3 yeur. ” Willlam B. Ogden was a man of command- ing presence. Nature cast bim in a mold of genuine nobility. Atonce he was accorded the confidence and the respect of all who met him. In his iutercouree with his fellow-men, whether with the lumberman at Peshtigo, the humblest burchaser of un outside. lot, or with the leading men of the nation, be was always the kind, courteous, Sntelligent gentleman. Thouch younger than some of them, be was the con- temporary of Webster, Ctay, Calhoun, Benton, Dougtas,and Lincoln.—of tlic leading scientists, divines, and Jurists,—in fact, of the ablest men the uation bas ever produced; though his life Was inainiy devoted to business, In the com- prehensive grasp of Lis mind, in genuine abill- ty, and all that makes the noble eltizen and whe useful nan, William B. Ogden was the peer of the wisest and the best of them. His) name must always occupy # foremost place fn the hiatory of the development and the progress of our city and of the Northwest, and should ever ‘be embalined in bicssings sud honor.
