Death Of Hon. T. 0. Howe.

The death of Hon. T. o. Howe, of

by its suddenness. He died at the
residence ofhis nephew, in Kenosha,
Wis.,, on the e5th inst. Mr.. Howe left
Washington, about two weeks since in
excellent health. While on a visit at
Green Bay last week he contracted a
severe cold from which resulted the
severe and fatal attack of pneumonia.
The telegraph dispatches give the fol-
lowing brief sketch of his life, "Timo-
thy o. Howe was born in Llvermore,
Me-, February 26, 1876. After re-
ceiving an academic education he
studied law and was admitted to the
bal. He was member of the Maine
Legislature in 1S45, came to Green
Bay IN the latter part of the same year
and opened law office and practiced
law until 1880, when ne was elected
the Judge the later being also one
of the Judges of the former at the
time. He was a candidate for the
United States Senate in 1858. and was
defeated by J. r. Doolittle, his defeat
being attributed to dislnclinatlon to
acquiesce In the extreme views of the
abolitionists. He was first elected to
the Senate in 1860, and was successful
ly returned until defeated by the late
Matt Carpenter in 1879, He was
originally Wing, but has not one of
the most prominent of radical Re.
publicans during his Senatorial career.
He was offered seat IN the United

dent Grant, but declined because he
feared a Democrat would be returned
to his seat in the Senate by the State
