Mr. David Kerr, a prominent and |

family of Mr, McCool intending to make |
a visit the nex: day, arose early, and
wheu they called Mr. Kerr for breakfast, |
no response was received, and supposing |!
he had gone to the home of his father, |
who was lying dangerously ill, did not
pursae investigation. In the evening, |
however, upon their retnrn home, it was |
discovered that Mr, Kerr had not been |
to his father’s home, or had not been |
seen that day, and they at once went to
his room but found the door locked, and !
in response to their calle, groans were |
heard in the room. The door was opened
and Mr. Kerr was found in a semi an-
conscious state, Beneath his room was a
coal stove, the gas from which had es
caped the night previous info Mr. Kerr's
room. By a fortunate circumstance the
fire was allowed to go out in the morn~
ing, and to this alone can be ascribed
the saving of Mr, Kerr's life. He had
lain unconscious from the iumes of the
coal gas all the night and following day
before discovered, He was somewhat
revived upon removal to pure air, but
was several days before fully recovered,
