THE MOKNISTG OBEGOyiAN. SATURDAY, APRIL 22, 1905. DERTH TRKES AGED SENATOR Orville H. Piatt Killed by 'Cold Taken at His Late Col league's Funeral. IN SEVENTY-EIGHTH YEAR Istmg Service in Senate Market! "by Leading Part in Admission of, New States ofTtho Northwest His Last Struggle for Life. WASHINGTON, Conn.. April 21. United States Senator Orville Hitchcock Piatt, of Connecticut, died at his Summer home in Washington, his native home, at 8:53 to night. The end came almost unexpectedly, the immediate cause being the breaking of the abscess which had formed in the right lung, and "which produced strangula tion. Only a few minutes before. Dr. Yard, the family physician, had prepared a bulletin from tho sickroom to the effect that If the patient did not have another sinking spell such as had come to him during the forenoon, he -would probably live through the night. When the physician left the sick cham ber the Senator was perfectly conscious, appeared to have no pain and had an swered questions put to him by those at the bedside, showing that his mind was clear. In the room at the time were Mrs. Piatt and the Senator'a only son, Judge James P. Piatt, of the United States Circuit Court. The funeral will probably be held next Tuesday, with services in the Congrega tional Church. Both houses of Congress will be represented. Caught Cold at Hawley's Funeral. Senator Piatt took a severe cold while the Swayne impeachment" trial at the Na tional Capitol was In progress before the Senate. He had not fully recovered from it at the time of Senator Hawley's fu neral. He stood in the railway station at Hartford for some time awaiting the arrival of the train on which Senator Hawley's body was brought from Wash ington. Iurlng the wait he complained of a slight chill, in consequence of which, after the exercises at the Capitol, he returned directly to his country home In Washington. On Friday, March 81. the Senator was taken with the illness which proved fatal. The first attack was of bronchitis with pneumonia of a comparatively slight na ture. This was followed on April 4 by a second attack, which lasted for about a week. On April 11 he showed signs of Improvement, so that hopes of his recov ery were entertained, but soon after an abscess developed, and on April IS he had a bad chill'. The following day his phy sicians and nurses feared it would be the end. hut he rallied from that attack. Other chills, however, followed at inter vals, culminating n a particularly severe one this forenoon, between 9 and v 11 o'clock. v Iiife "Was Ebbing Away. Although the aged man seemed to rally somewhat from this attack and become comfortable during the afternoon, it was evident that his life was ebbing away. His physician, at 8:45 o'clock, stated that tne end would come with another chill and the thread of life would snap suddenly. This proved to be the case, and a few minutes later Senator Piatt's- life was ended. Orville Hitchcock Piatt was born at Washington, Conn., July 19, 1827. His father, Daniel Piatt, was a farmer. He himself worked on the farm until he was 20 years old, receiving his educa tion in the common schools, and at Frederick Qunn's AcaVlemy, styled the "Gunnery," which has since become a well-known Institution. He afterwards studied law in the office of Gideon H. Hollister, the historian of Connecticut He was admitted to the bar of Connec ticut In 1S49, and later to the bar of Pennsylvania' where' he spent six, months In the Towanda office of Ulys ses Mercur, Chief Justice of the Court of Pennsylvania. In 1851 he resumed his law practice in Connecticut, set tling in Herlden, where he made his home while he lived. In 1855-56 Mr. Piatt served as clerk of the Connecticut Senate, and In 1S57 was elected Secretary of the State. He was elected a member of the State Sen ate m l61-62, and was a member of the House in 1864 and 1869, filling the position of Speaker during the last named year. In 1877 he was a Judge of Probate and was appointed State At torney for lew Haven County, "retain ing that position until 1879, when he was electedto the United States Senate to succeed W. H. Barnum. His Service In tjio Senate. Mr." Piatt was his own successor to the United States Senate In 18S5. and again in 1S90, having been elected by the unanimous vote of the Republican members of the State Legislature, and has been re-elected again until his death. He served on various impor tant committees during his Senatorial career, including the committee on pen sions and the committee on contingent expenses, and was chairman of the committee on patents, and acting chairman of the committee- on revision of laws. In the 50th and 51st Con gresses he was chairman on territories, during which time North Dakota. South Dakota, Montana, Idaho, Washington and Wyoming were admitted Into the Union. He was chairman of the sub committee having in charge the "copy right" bill, passed in 1891, and to his efforts in committee and on the fldor of the Senate are due in great part the passage of that measure. Stood. High as Lawyer and Senator. Mr. Piatt was a forcible speaker, "his style was finished, his words -well chosen and his arguments logical. In the Senate he was regarded as a careful legislator, a close student of political questions, and a man of sound judg ment. He always maintained a high standing in the legal profession, doing a large general business, though mak ing a specialty of patent law. He was prominently connected with religious and philanthropic works of the city of Merlden, and In a quiet, unostentatious way was tho friend of the needy and troubled, who never hesitated to go to him for assistance and advice. The vet eran of the war and the soldier's widow had no . more stanch supporter. Tale conferred upon him the degree of LL. D. In 1881.
