nected with the House had received any ofioIaI
notice either from the proprietor OF the
hotel, or from the son Of Mr.. Kerr. who
arrived there last night, those reports were
not credited but It caused the IN late friends
Of Mr.. Kerr to telegraph at once and request
that they might be apprised of his exact
condition without delay. At about o O'Clock
the nrst definite intelligence was received by
Mr.. Coz In a brief telegram from MIR. Kerr, an-
nounoinR that bis condition was critical. A
similar despatch was received by the Speaker
