SENATOR PLATT
PASSES AWAY
Venerable Senator From Connecticut
Departs This Life.
DUE TO PNEUMONIA
Deceased Was One of the Leading
Members of the Upper House Of
Congress and Held In Ugh
Esteem by President.

Washington, Conn, April 2i.-United
States Senator Orville Hitchcock Plat
died at his summer home in this, his
native town, Friday night from pneu-
monia. The end came almost unex-
pectedly. the immediate cause being
the breaking OF an abscess which had
formed in the right lung, and which
produced strangulation. Only a few
minutes before. DR.. Ford. the family
phys clan, had prepared bulletin from
he sick room to the effect that IL the
patient did not have another sinking
spell, such as had come to him during
the forenoon. he probably would live
through the night. When the physi-
clan left the sick chamber the senate.
was perfectly conscious, and appeared
to have no pain. In the room at the
time were Mrs. P'ltt and the senator's
only son, Judge James j. Platt, of the
United States circuit court. The fu-
neral will probably be held next Tues
day. The services will be held in the
Congregational church.
Senator Plat contracted a severe
cold while the Swayne Impeachment
trial at the national capital was In
progress. He had not fully recovered
from it at the time OF Senator Hawley's
funeral. He stood in the railway sta
ton at Hartford for some time await
ing the arrival of TIE train on which
Senator Hawley's body was brought
from Washington. During the wait
he complained of slight chill in con-
sequence of which. after the exercises
at the capitol. he returned direct to
his country home in Washington.
1t was on Friday. March 81. that the
senator was taken with the illness
which proved fatal. On April II he
showed signs of improvement. SO that
hopes of his recovery were entertain
ed, but soon after that the lung alb
scess began to develop. so that on April
IS he had bad chill. Other chills fol-
lowed. eliminating in a particularly
severe relapse between and IL o'clock.
BY both temperaments and feeling
Senator Plat was peculiarly the rep
resentatlve of New England ideas and
of the old fashioned Puritan integrity
and conscience. Through his whole
fife he kept himself in the most SYM
pathetic touch with New England In
situations of every kind
