DENVER, Dec. 14.— It appears that
Colorado^ is to" have no colored contin
gent in her National Guard. Two com
panies of colored men had been enlisted
and. were. at. the armory. to-night to be
mustered in. Colonel Bloom was pres
fent as mustering officer, when "Major"
Charles Jonea, a colored man, to whose
efforts the formation of the- companies
was largely due, announced that he had
learned that Governor Peabody intend
ed- to officer the companies with white
men.' The colored recruits at once re
fused to enter the service.--.

Having recovered from the surpris
ing news of Clarke's marriage his rela
tives and friends, began to speculate on
_the identity of his bride and it was not
until the detectives, who were engaged
by his relatives to locate him, had com
pleted their task yesterday that the
identity ' of the . woman was brought
clearly to their minds. ; In the woman
found in Clarke's rooms at the Lick
the. detectives recognized none other
than that familiar figure in the famous
Durfant trial, the . "Sweet Pea Girl,"
who daily sat in the, courtroom near the
murderer of Blanche. Lamont and Min
nie Williams and- frequently sent to the
accused: testimonials" of her sympathy,
in the shape of small bunches of sweet
peas..

that eventful trial that ended in the
hanging of Durrant has been filled with

George Raymond and Patrick O'Toole
last night on Mason street near Market
and locked them up at the City Prison
pending an investigation into their pre

believe that the two were concerned in
the many recent burglaries. They are
well known crooks.
Arrested on Suspicion.
The charges preferred against Dr.

Alameda County, by a member of the
lodge named Tucker were
last night. The Grand Lodge met In
this city for the purpose of Investigat

Dr. Aiken was cruelly mistreatrng
youths under his supervision. So lit
tle faith was taken in the charges that
the lodge did not even notify Aiken to
appear before it. Tucker appeared
and said that it was all a mistake and
that he was very sorry for having
made the charges. Dr. - Aiken was

ence it was agreed that Clarke's lug

quickly assorted from that of the wife
and ten minutes later had been Temoyed
to the corridor, whence It was later
taken to an uptown hotel. . \
"This is all the result of a man's fool
ish act while under the' influence / of
drink," was the explanation made: by
one of Clarke's relatives as soon as the
party had reached the lower. floor of the
hotel. "Clarke has been drunk. for, over
a week and married this woman .while
he was stupefied with drink adminis

who is a well-known club man and
son of a wealthy widow of San Jose,
suddenly found himself surrounded by
relatives, friends and detectives, who
hustled him out of his apartments at
the hotel. Later they returned. for 4 the
husband's belongings, but this time en
countered the bride, who, learning of
their plans to separate her from Clarke,
defiantly declined to permit his prop
erty to be removed. Again the friends
departed, but soon returned, this, time
with the husband. Confronted by the
latter, the wife urgently appealed- to
Clarke to assert himself and shake oft
the influences vhich she charged', were
being exerted over him. Finding that
he was indifferent to her pleadings
was about to desert her, the woman be

re-echoed through the rooms, Clarke,
with stolid features and without the
slightest word of farewell, left her.
RELATIVES TO THE RESCUE.
A sensational scene, marking " the
abrupt termination of the honeymoon
that followed the secret marriage in
Oakland at an unusual hour Saturday
morning of E. K. Clarke and Mrs.
Rosalind Bower, who turns out to be
the "Sweet Pea Girl" of Durrant trial
fame, was enacted at the Lick House
yesterday afternoon. ..During the tem
porary absence of his bride, Clarke,

man, returned from the East yester
day and is registered at the Palace.

PERSONAL.
The secret marriage in Oakland Sat
urday was Clarke's second experience
in the matrimonial line, he having
wedded several years ago under simi
lar circumstances. His first wife died
abotlt a year ago and since then
Clarke, who is about 40 years of age,
has been abroad a great deal. Drink
ing has been his greatest vice, a fact
which his relatives, who are prominent
in this city, readily admit. From his
father, who died a number of years
ago, Clarke inherited a fortune of
something like $500,000, and to what
still remains of this will some" day be
added many thousands of dollars now
controlled by his mother.
HIS SECOND MARRIAGE.
"I understand that Clarke has since
made the claim that he was intoxi
cated at the time of his marriage and
did not know what he was doing. If
this is so he showed no signs of it at
the time the ceremony was L per
formed. I do not see how he could
have been greatly under the influence
of liquor, as they had been hunting
for Baker for four hours before the
ceremony. At any rate, when he came
to my house his speech was perfectly
clear and straight, and while there
was a slight taint of liquor on his
breath, he did not show in any way
that he was not thoroughly In posses
sion of all his faculties. Had he not
been able to satisfy me that he knew
perfectly well what he was doing I
shouid not have performed the mar
riage ceremony.
"The marriage toc-k place about 12:20
on the morning of the 12th, and they
requested me to "send the certificate to
Mrs. E. K. Clarke, rooms 407 and 408,
Starr King building, 121 Geary street,
San Francisco. I filed the certificate
on the 12th, had ~it recorded immedi
ately and mailed it to Mrs. Clarke on
the samenlay." . •i^-r.
"Just before the couple stood up
Clarke placed his hand on a necklace
the lady wore and said, 'That is a
present I brought from Naples.'
"After the ceremony Clarke asked
me to put on my hat and join them in
a banquet in celebration of the event,
but I excused myself on a plea of ill
ness and they immediately left, accom
panied by Ray Baker and Mr. Robin
son, v
HIS BRIDAL PRESENT.
"He told her there was a couple below
who wished me to perform a marriage
ceremony. I had heard the conversa
tion at the door and dressed hurriedly
and came downstairs. I found Clarke
and the lady in the parlor, and with
them were Ray Baker and Francis IT.
Robinson of San Francisco. I make it
a rule to ask every one whom I marry
a few questions in regard to the names
in the license, for instance, if they are
the parties specified and so forth, and
to also ask them if they fully realize
the importance of the step which they
are about to take. In the present in
stance I arlied these questions and they
were answered readily and without any
hesitation, and I proceeded to perform
the ceremony. . £<•?"• ':
couple in question I had been slightly
ill from heart trouble and had retired
early. Abou*t 12 o'clock the doorbell
rang and my wife answered and found
Deputy County Clerk Raymond T.
Baker at the door.
; The statement wired from Topeka,
Kans., a few days ago to the effect that
the purchase of the North Shore by
the Santa Fc was ratified at tlie annual
meeting of the directors of the latter
company caused much comment. The
statement was misleading-. The pur
chase ratified was that of a branch road
in the .edwood region of California. It
may transpire later on that the syndi
cate which is now paying face value
nnd accrued interest for the bonds of
the North Shore was authorized to act
for the Santa Fe. The fact will be
recalled that the purchase of the
Crocker, Stanford and Searles holdings
of Southern Pacific stock was conduct
ed through the agency of Silver & Co.
<>f New York, and a controlling interest
in the road acquired before the names
of the real purchasers were made
known to the public.
Negotiations for the purchase of the
North Shore Railroad are b^ing con
ducted through the agency of the Mer
cantile Trust of this .city.
When John Martin was in New York
recently he was solicited by the rep
resentative of an Eastern syndicate to
obtain an option on the purchase of a
large block ' of the company's bonds.
The syndicate agreed to take the bonds
at par and pay accrued interest. As
an evidence of good faith the syndicate
deposits $30,000 for each $100,000 of
bonds placed in the possession of the
trust company. It is understood that
bonds to the par value of one million
dollars will be deposited this week, as
agreements representing that amount
have been signed. The option, how
ever, does not expire until June 1 next.
It is regarded as absolutely settled that
all negotiations for the transfer of the
property to the new owners will be
closed up long before the expiration of
the time prescribed in the option.
There is considerable conjecture in
railway and banking circles concerning
the actual purchaser of the road. The
report that the Santa Fe is the power
behind the syndicate is strenuously
denied, honce it is surmised that the
Southern Pacific is taking steps to ac
quire the road.
stituted to annul the marriage and this
announcement brought a prompt re
sponse from Mrs. Clarke's logal rep
resentative, Attorney O. K. " Cushlng,
that any proceedings toward this end
would be fought by him.
Rev. William N. Van de Mark, who
married Edward K. Clark'e and Rosa
lind ' H. Bower in Oakland, said last
night:
"On the evening that I married the
open for business as soon as they could
get in their supplies if the crews were
put back in the places named.
Both 1 sides will hold meetings 1 this
morning and discuss the suggestions of
fered by th'e committee and will imme
diately take action. There is every
probability that the lockout will" be
called off to-day and the restaurants
reopen for business.
The association and the two unions
will t,hen take hip the agreement sent
out by the cooks and waiters and come
to an , understanding. The association
is opposed to the plan of the unions to
ignore It, and its members will demand
that a clause be inserted giving it
proper recognition. The association is
further opposed to certain houses being
permitted to hire non-union help. The
members want- one agreement for all
restaurant-keepers.
Whether there is a compromise or not
F. Krone, proprietor of the Popular
restaurant, on Geary street, will reopen
(or business this morning. He pasted
a sign on his- window yesterday that
read as follows: .
"Open \ to-morrow at 6 a. m. as an
open house. No discrimination among
labor, either union or non-union. Union
hands, union one day off .a week.
I will sign no agreement of any labor
organization. All help being treated
with courtesy, as before; but I am cap
tain of the ship. F. KRONE."
The first and only conference between
the Restaurant-Keepers' Association
and the waiters' and cooks' unions was
held -last evening at 20 Eddy street.
Four representatives of the unions met
M. Johnson, chairman of the executive
committee of the association, and two
hours were occupied. in deliberation. A
stenographer took -down everything,
and the transcription of his shorthand
notes will be filed among the records of
the association.- ¦-
At the conclusion of the meeting Mr.
Johnson expressed the belief that by
this afternoon the two crews taken out
of the Central dining-rooms, on Ellis
street, and the Tivoli cafe, on Eddy
street, will be put back and both these
houses will resume business. Mr. John
son intimated that no negotiations
would be entered into regarding the
agreement tor the coming year until
the two places were permitted to re
sume business. He further stated that
the restaurants that had closed under
the orders of .the association would re-
In the ensuing discussion the pro
tagonists of the resolutions were led by
Charles Bundschu, and among his ac
tive supporters were Dr. G. Dresel, Max
Solomon, David Hirschfeld and Henry
Epstein. The opposition*included Dr.
Jellinek, Attorney Gutsch, E. C. Prie
ber and Theodore Pinther. The debate
developed no new features, most of the
arguments being repetitions of those
advanced at the previous meeting.
It was 11:10 o'clock when the talking
on the resolutions ceased and a vote
was ordered on the first section of Mr.
Bundschu's resolutions. It resulted in*
eighty-four of the members declaring
for rescission of the action of the pre
vious meeting In regard to a new hos
pital, while seventy-three of those pres
ent voted to let that action stand.
Then, on motion of Mr. Bundschu,
consideration of the remaining three
sections of his resolutions was contin
ued till after the holidays.
A. That these peven members shall constitute
the bniidlnir committee, and all vacancies shall
be filled from amonsr the former presidents.
ARGUMENTS REPEATED. -
:t. That this bulldinr committee shall be
composed of three members of the presetit
v>carrl of directors and four others to be chosen
by the members of the society from nmonsr the
rx-pr?Bidents of the society living in San Fran
cisco, to r*» encsen at the next regular meeting
of the society.
2. That for the purpose of acquiring new
hospital plans it be understood that the cost of
the building shall be limited to $250,000 and
th<; equipment to $50,000. and that a building
oommittes be appointed to take charge of the
mntter.
Th<* special meeting: of the German General
Benevolent Society called by the president-tor
December 14, ISHaI. for the purpose of consid
ering a new hospital, resolves:
1. That thf> resolution adopted at the meet
in? in October in reference to the hospital be
reprinted as a whole.
Charles Bundschu then presented the
following resolutions and moved for
their adoption:
PKGSEXTS RESOLUTIONS.
By a vote of 84 to 73 the German
General Benevolent Society at a special
meeting last night rescinded the reso
lution adopted at its last quarterly
meeting, held in October, by which it
was decided to erect a new hospital
at an approximate cost of $500,000. The
gathering last night was In Union
Square Hall, and for three and a half
hours the subject was discussed in all
its bearings freely and amicably.
President Grunsky opened the pro
ceedings by reading a statement show
ing that at the October meeting it had
been resolved to construct a new hos
pital on the site of the existing struct
ure, to consist of a central building and
two wings, one of the latter to be built
first, then the other wing, and last of
all the central building, m the mean
time the existing hospital to be torn
down piecemeal as the construction of
the new one required. The entire new
building was to cost $500,000, and its
construction was expected to cover a
period of about ten years. The total
capacity was to be 288 beds. Plans for.
the building had been drawn by Mr.
Grunsky, and the board of directors
had authorized immediate commence
ment of work by appropriating the
$90,000 on hand to that purpose and
deciding: to borrow $50,000 a/klitional.
The president concluded his explana
tion by stating that in response to a
petition from a number of the members
he had called the meeting last night
to reconsider the action taken in Octo
ber..
