Hon. George A. Pearre
Stricken.

Representative Geo. A. Pearre,
of Maryland, was stricken with
a nervous cOnvulsion while occu
pying his seat on the floor of the
House Monday, and would have
fallen but for the fact that he
was caught by a fellow member.
The attack occurred at 1920
O'Clock and created much excite.
ment. Mr.. Pearre was uncon.
sciOus for half an hour and after
recovering was accompanied to
his apartments at the Grafton by
his physician.
Late reports of his condition
are gratifying to his many friends
and admirers, who at first feared
more serious results. 1t is hardly
probable that Mr.. Pearre will be
much in evidence in Congress
during this session, as his physi
has prescribed complete rest.
