‘TRYING TO KEEP COOL. ‘The Master Plumbers Still Keep on With the Work of Their Convention. ‘MANY INTERESTING REPORTS READ AT THE SES- SION THIS MORNING, THAT IX REGARD TO ‘THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA BEING PARTICU- LARLY SO—SOME OF THE NOTED DELEGATES. Somebody had decorated the backs of the seats in the hall ofthe Builders’ Exchange this morning with advertising circulars, and when the members of the National Plumbers’ Asso- ciation came togetber for the third day's ses-|~ sion the hall had the appearance of baving been visited bya snow storm during the night. ‘However it looked cool, and when the delegates settled down for the day's session many of them removed their-costs and made themselves escomfortable as possible. The convention wasmot quitee half hour late in assembling, which was considgred to be very creditable under thecircumstances. Therfiret considered was the report of the vice: of Kansasand the District REPORT FROM THE DISTRICT. ‘The report of D. 8. Williamson, the vice presi- dent for the District of Columbia, stated that ‘the main event of the year was the passage by Congress of the plumbing bill, which gives the Commissioners power tov make pede for plembing ‘and requires that plumbers, in order be tered, are obliged to pass an exami- nation, of, as heretofore, merely paying s Four new members were added to the ‘Various reports from officers and committees wore received and properly referred. In reply to aquestion from a delegate the president stated that the present bership Bf the association is about £,100. THE SANITARY REPORT. The report of the sanitary committee was submitted by the chairman, W. J. Kelley. It emphasized the importance of regulations rela- tive to plumbing and sewerag> and stated that the statistics of some cities, where modern methods were in vogue and practical plumbers were employed as inspectors, show a great de- crease in the death rate and an increase in the Birth rate. The statement made in the report that in some cities, where modern sanitary methods were in use, the population had doubled caused some of the delegates to smile. When the delegates want to speak their minds they have what is called an executive sessior., when all not delogutes are excluded from the hall. AN EXECUTIVE SESSION. ‘This was what was done this morning and the public session was therefore a brief one. It is expected that the session this afternoon ‘will be the final one. Officers are to be elected and the impression prevails that Mr. Sheehan, who has just served out the incomplete term of his predecessor. will be elected for a full term. ‘omorrow the delegates. as guests of the Joeal association, will see the sights of the city and visit Mount Vernon. a YESTERDAY APTBRNOON'S SESSION.

Among the local men interested in the con- vention there is no man more prominent than Dr. 8, 8. Stearns, chairman of the committee on halls and decorations.

His work in this line has won he y ‘ition from Cornwall's Hall, where the are held, was decorated under his supervision. Dr. Stearns is a graduate of Georgetown University, ut holds a degree from the Southern Home- opathic Medical Association.

The increase authorized is from $1,500,000 to #2,- 200,000 and is found to be necessary to meet the awards being made in the pending condemna- tion proceedings. GOSSIP AT THE SENATE. Some of the gossips around the Senate have today been discussing the possibilities by which either Representative RL Hitt Illinois or Senator John Sherman would nominated to fill the State mart greomacytict tia cabins: aan stiles! good many of the statesmen were of the opinion that the President could find very much worse materml, no one seemed to believe that either of the two persons named would be se- lect ére aro social reasons which are apt to be very powerful in Mr. Hitt's case. Mra. Hitt is a bosom friend of Mrs. Blaine and there seems to be an understand- ing which as it that no bosom friend of Mrs. Blaine can secure any great _amount of prominence so long a8 Mrs. Harrison is in the White House. As to the Sherman end of the rumor it was that the Senator would not give up his certainty in the Senate for a brief definite service in the State Department end a contingency.

He was in love with her and had Sergeant Johnson, who was one of the first to arrive, assisted the dying man into the wagon. The latter said to him ‘I’m’ dying,” and in less than three minutes he expired. Walter Sinclair, s young man who lives in the neighborhood, got a glass of water for the dying man and tried to wash the blood out of his mouth. He was the only one who con- versed with Kraemer. The latter told him that it was not his fault; that the trouble was about his wife, and he said to Sinclair: “You tell,” then his mouth filled with blood and he spoke ‘no more, Arnold was arrested and taken to the second Precinct station house. He claimed that his relations with Mrs. Kraemer were merely those of an adviser in regard to her-divorce. He said that Mrs. Kraemer had told him of threats against him made by her husband ond that he | had armod himself consequently and was in fear of deadly assault when he fired. Kraemer mar- ried Laura Bowman of Browntown, Va., nine months ago. She is an attractivelooking woman and, innocently or not, caused her hus- band to be extremely jealous. "Then he became abusive and she had to ay to the court for ‘otection. He was put under bonds to kee SS Ua et eily Sat Te was again before Judge Miller, cl wi threatening her. He, however, denied the charge and gave his personal bonds not to com- mit any violent act. ARNOLD TELLS HIS STORY. Arnold is a clerk in the money order division of the post office. He is a Kentuckian,but came here from Texas, He met Mrs. Kraemer at the boarding house, No. 417 6th street, where he and his wife boarded. Shé told him of her do- mestic troubles, and said she wanted a divorce. He recommended her to a friend who was prac- ticing law, as he (Arnold) had but recently | juated and wasnot practicing. He first saw mer, he says, on Sunday evening when he went to Mrs. Kraemer’s boarding house on 11th street to see her about the divorce matter. She had to go to her sister's, No. 416 6th street, and | he consented to go with her to protect her, as she feared her husband would assault her. | Near 7th and H streets Kraemer met them and became so abusive that an officer was called and the latter accompanied Mra. Kraemer the rest of the way. Mr. Arnold says that Kraemer fol- lowed him since then. Mrs. Kraemer told him that her husband had eaid he was going to kill him. ‘This alarmed him and he armed himself to meet Kraemer on even grounds. He noticed yesterday afternoon that Kraemer was following him and he went into an office to get out of his way. He then walked toward 5th and E streets and stood be- neath a tree when he was surprised to see | Kraemer approaching him. . nd,” said Arnold, “when he came along he made some remark which I did vot maderstand; I said to him, ‘Kraemer, you are following me, and he answered, ‘I wouldn't follow cattle like coat “Following this,” said Arnold, “‘he used vile | epithets foward me, calling me a gambler and harsh names.” | Kraemer poaet on, said Arnold, and made some remark about “killing” and Arnold told | him that if he came back he (Arnold) would | kick him off the sidewalk. Kraemer thereupon turned and ran toward him with his hand about his hip pocket. Re- membering what he had been told hy Kxsemex's wife Arnold drew his pistol and fired. He thought the bullet did not take effect, for Krae- mer rushed at him so fast, and he fired the sec- ond shot. Then Kraemer’ pulled open his (Ar- old's) vest and bit his bund. He still thought he not fired straight and fearing Kraemer hada cord and would slagh him he beat him over the MRS. KRAEMER. Mra, Kraemer corroborates Arnold's story concerning the relations between them. She was found by a Star reporter at No. 725 11th street, where she has lived for some time. She told a story of jealousy, neglect and persecu- | tion on her husband’s part. THE CORONER'S INQUEST. The autopsy this morning was conducted by Deputy Coroner Schaeffer, who was assisted by Dr. J. 8. F. Sessford. The autopsy showed that two fatal wounds were inflicted, one bullet having passed through the left lung and the other penetrating the liver. Lawyer Shillington appeared at the inquest as counsel for the prisoner. The first witness examined was Alice Posey. She is janitress at the Columbia Law School. She testified that she heard the first shot fired, and, thinking some one was killing a trouble- some dog, she went out to eee what was going on. She saw the two men. The short man Kraemer) was going toward the taller one Arnold). She saw Kraemer grab Arnold and the latter, after firing the second shot, com- menced to beat him on the head with the re- volver like person chopping wood. Some one threw a brick at Arnold, but he continued beat- ing Kraemer until Justice Keese appeared and took the revolver from him. Milo B. Atkinson, who was attracted to the scene by hearing the shots fired, testified that he saw the prisoner beating Kreamer om the head with the pistol. He saw Kraemer fall and strike the back of his head on the curbstone. ‘The blood-stained weapon was produced and witness thought it looked like the pistol he saw the prisoner have yesterday. r. A. E. L. Keese, a justice of the peace, testified that he was sitting in his office readis ‘Tux Stan when he heard two pistol shots in rapid succession. He walked to where the crowd was and saw the prisoner have Kraemer’s under his left arm and beating him over the head with the pistol, which he held in_ his right hand. Kraemer’ was crying “murder” and “police.” Witness caught hold of both men and told the prisoner ‘You are my prisoner.” He said he asked Arnold for what he was that man and he replied: “Iam afraid he might hurt me. He has been following me for the last half hour.” ‘Witness told him that it was cowardly for him | 1. to beat the man in that way. Witness grabbed the hand in which the pistol was held and as the wounded man fell witness saw blood in his mouth and a change in hiseyes and remarked to the prisoner: “You've killed ty ike prisone: bea the: “While tl r was beating the other man what was the other man doing?” asked the coroner. “Why, he couldn't do anything,” replied wit- 88, Witness said that he asked the men standing about there why they did not st the fight, telling them that they were cowards, and one of them said he was afraid he would get shot. Witness went with the officers to police head- quarters, where the prisoner washed his hands and said he felt faint. He was given a glass of water. THE POLICEMEN’S ACCOUNT.

CHARG A Young Mexican Girl is Sentenced to Be| Shot. { F. M. Hartner. an American engaged in the | mercantile business in Guaymas, Sonoro, Mex- | ico, who has just arrived at San Antonio, says that the wildest excitement exists among the ignorant classes of Mexicans throughout the | state of Sonoro, over the arrest and conviction of eres: Urrea, the celebrated Saint of Cach- | cora, by the district judge at Guaymas. Saint | Teresa was arrested three weeks ago by a de- | tachment of soldiers, who escorted her and her | aged father, Thomas Urrea, to Guaymas. Both | were heavily ironed and were kept closely confined in prison until placed on trial. Th were found guilty of witchery by the judge, who sentenced Saint Teresa to be shot and ber father to imprisonment for life. About two yearsago Saint Teresa first became aware of ‘healing powers. ‘The news of her wer soon spread among Yaqui and Mayo In- lians, who visited her by hundreds, The ex- citement spread to all parts of Sonoro and was reaching the state of Chihuahua when the gov- ernment decided to put an end to it by arrest- | ing the enint and putting her out of the way. | When the news -reached the Mayo Indians that Saint Teresa was to be shot they went on | the warpath and have devastated a vast amount of property and created much terror among | Ri the ranch owners. Mr. Hartner says that Sai Teresa is about seventeen years of age and is | d of some strange power. The district judge firmly believes that she is a witch and that her father is an accessory. The latter was a raiser of goats.and very poor. Saint Teresa would never accept remuneration of any kind for the wonderful cures she is said to have per- formed. She awaits her fate quietly and offered no defense when on trial. — ARMY OF THE POTOMAC. Many Men of Distinction Attend the Re- union. Gen.
