While Louisiana was the state Of her

REBEL MOVEMENT
 RAMPANT IN SPAIN
Special from United Press.)

I 4tSpGClaI rom Un1LGQ Pr6SS)
 Madrid. Sept. 24.-The police authori- dragnetting the city for the 300 revo- lutionaries which the nti-Monarchial party in Barcelona has asked to vol unteer for service against the govern ment here. The police theory is that though there is much discomfort in Madrid, revolutionary leaders are lacking and that the majority of the the Barcelona district. the hot-bed of Spanishf insurrection.
 New arrivals in the city are being watched with the utmost vigilance and a number have already been arrested on suspicion. What has particularly alarmed the court is the revolutionary proclamation's threat that certain and that public buildings must be destroyed
 This threat has caused leading gov ernment officials to surround them selves with body-guards. The revolu- t1onary movement is again rampant at Barcelona and is reaching out to other parts of Spain. The government of. fcials are more alarmed now than during the recent outbreak in Barce- Iona for then. serious as the situation was. the authorities considered it more or less local while now there is un- evidence that the entire country is becoming affected
 There is again serious talk of the cabinets resignation and the estab- lishment of a military dicta torship under General Weyler. The only req Morocco to put a stop to the war there is that the government believes the services of some such iron man. may be needed at home at any moment.

GIRL UNDISTURBED
 BY MURDER CHARGE
Waterbury Music Teacher Accused of Participation in Brutal Crime
 UndiStnrbed.
INSANITY TO BE DEFENSE

Waterbury, Sept. 24.-The strange
 mental condition of Sophie Kritch-
 man, the Union City music teacher, who, with Joe Mitchell of Brooklyn,
 is charged with the murder of Broni- sion Kulvinskas last Friday, and who
 was indicted for pllrder in the first degree by the grand jury yesterday, is attracting much attention among phy- sicians On account of the girls in difference and her utter disregard for
 the serious plight she is in, it is be- lieved that in her present state she fails to realize that she is held in part responsible for the brutal killing. The defense will be insanity of course. The Woman's present attitude is cheerful, 2 source of strength.
 Those who have seen Sophie say that she is not clever enough to act the part of indifference. She smiles and laughs oftener than she weeps, and her worrying seems to be about trivial. petty things and not about her allaged crime. Her mother, sister and her cousins called on her yesterday and she wept in her parents arms, but her attitude soon changed and she chatted about her music, her friends and her amusements to her cousins and sister. But there were no hys- terical scenes or emotional lamenting dDOuL DelnS lOcKeQ up III the COlQ damp cell
 Among those who visited her yes- terGay was Dr. Patrick Cassidy, well-known physician of Norwich pr. Cassidy, it was said, did not visit the girl with the intention of making a physical or mental examination but just made the visit out of curiosity. Other physicians have visited the girl in her cell and have expressed much surprise at the unusual mental atti- tude of Sophie.
 She has locket about her neck in which she carries a miniature picture of Mitchell of whom she seems very fond. She asked one of her visitors yesterday if she didn't think he was a fine looking fellow. She also volun- teered a bit of advice to two of the girls who looked at her and said as they were leaving: Goodbye, girls, beware of the company of bad men, The girl heard that she was to be brought before the grand jury and ar rayed herself in a plain white linen dress. She dressed her hair careful 1y and put on a few trinkets and pieces of jewelry. Sophie was deeply disappointed when they did not take her to the Court House yesterday. She was up bright and early this morning and again wore her white dress. A pretty straw hat with bright colored flowers and a short black jacket com pleted her dress, and at o'clock the police took the girl and Mitchell from the station to the Court House.

.TAMMANY REJOICES
 OVER NOMINATION
Tiger Forces See Success for Their Ticket With Barnard Republican
 Standard Bearer for Mayor.
Special from United Press. ,

New York, Sept. 24-There is re-
 Jolcing at Tammany Hall to-day over
 the result of the Republican city con-
 vention which named Otto T. Barnard
 or Manhattan. treasurer of the organ
 lzat1On, as the party candidate sfo,
 Mayor. Tammany believes that this
 presages success for it's own ticket in-
 asnuch as there is a general belief to-
 day that the Committee of 100 which
 has been debating fusion in New York
 eyer since last June. will name a com
 plete city and borough ticket headed
 py Former United States District At norney St1mson and ignore the Repub-
 1cans. Tammany's rejoicing may be premature, however. as friends of Ban nara declare that unless he sees "a chance for successful fight. an, to do that he needs the non4partisan en- oorseSnent, he will decline to remain as a cahdidate. soa soon as. it was cer- tain tkat he w6ulds she the Republican candidate Mr. Barnard left town and will stay a week thinking it all over 2
 But the failure of the fusion move ment so far as the Republfcans are concerned has stirred up one of the liveliest scandals of late years in New
 ork politics It is openly asserted by members of the committee of 100 that Republican State Chairman Timothy F.. Woodruff prevented fusion in order to keep a, promise made last Decem- Der. They aliege that when the Tam many and Brooklyn Democratic Con- gressmen supported Speaker Cannon Tn his light over the rules they d'd so on the assumption that Woodruff would prevent fusion so that Tam many could have a walk-oVer this fall
 Tammany cares for little but the control of the city government these men assert. and was willing to make the bargain and Woodruff has now kept his word Friends of the state chairman h0WnUar md etc fa that 1t is malicious lie. The Tam many city convention meets on Sep- tember 30 Indications to-day are that Justice Gaynor will be the candidate announced his sentiments and the friends of Justices Gerard aud Bowling are working tooth and nail for him to favor their chances on the ground that they are wide open Tammany men while Justice Gaynor is too much of an independent to care for the or gan1zation after he is elected.
 Some of these men are taking com fort out of the Republican nomination which they claim is such as to make it possible for Tammany to turn Gay nor down and elect one of the Tigers own stripe. This. however. is denied by several authorities close to the who insist that Murphy is anxious to pose as the regenerator of the party in the state and will non1i- nate and elect Gaynor so that a year from now he can offer him to the state Democracy as a Candidate for Cover nor who would have a good chance of 
 In an interview last night Patrick H. McCarren announced that he was for and, inasmuch as the Brook yn jurist is already in the field as m independent candidate, the feeling ,o-da1 is that his nomination is well nigh assured at the hands of Tam many.

THREE CORPORALS
 ARE DISCHARGED

MERIDEN SOLDIERS RIDE IN PULLMAN COACHES AND LODGE IN EXPENSIVE HOTELS DURING BAY STATE WAR GAME. \ Meriden. Sept 2a.-Dumas' literary creations, .'The Three Musketeers, !"
 could be given cards and spades in
 the field of military adventures by
 three gay corporals of Company I, who are charged with leading a plush cushioned" existence in the war along the Massachusetts, coast last August. en their camp pay last week, Captain George E. Proudman told them that three. corporals had shirked their du- ty during the war and he had re6uc- ed them to the ranks and recommend ed their discharge to the Adjutant General.
 These discharges have been received from the Hartford office which SUD- ports the captains request and the following militia-men are dropped from the company rolls, Corporals Nokelski, F. Patz and Dooley.
 According to the more dutiful mem bers of the company, the three non coms had all the luxuries of military campaign without any of it's inconven- fences. While their comrades were sleeping in dog tents on pallets of straw, with rocks for pillows, the elite were occupying mahogany suites in hotels at $4 per, and almost suffocat- ed in the languid depths of soft feath- CT beds. And worse still, whhe the foot-sore fighters were wading through country roads knee deep with mud or sweltering in the monday sun op the march, the three humorists were rid- ing to the next battle ground aboard smokers.
 Regard for the long suffering cam paigners forbids mention of how the gentlemen soldiers fought the luscious hotel and restaurant victuals.
