to get transportation TO Ogden. Thence it
will move on to Denver, where transporta-
ton will be again sought until the more
thickly settled Western States are reached.
Colonel William Baker was put III COM
mand in Oakland and read the rules TO
the recruits last night. He charged them
that it was not foraging expedition. but
one that hoped to get by peaceful means
what Congress had thus far failed to give
them.
A CALL reporter interviewed Colonel
Baker last night. He talked freely about
the plans of the army. After apologizing
for the dimly lighted hall by saying that
his committee was too late to see the
people in charge of the eleeiric-ligbt
works he said: "But the people here have
treated us very courteously. They have
given us food and been very liberal with
us. They lent us these c0al-oil lamps. and
although our big hall is not well llghte d
still we will get along
"We Will sleep here tonight, and hope
that atevery stonping place we will ind as
good quarters. Yes, we expect some hard
ships before we reach Washington, but we
will start on Wednesday morning and
take the first train we can. We don't in
tend to do any walking If we can help 1t.
and we think we can convince the rail-
road managers by peaceful methods that
they ought to let US ride. We have adj
vance agents ahead of us to arrange for
US at all the larger towns.
while orga niZed for the same purpose
as COxey's army and the other bodies OF
men bound for Washington we are 1ot
under the jurisdiction of any OF them. We
expect 10 reach Washington by the LIST OF
next month"

woman said "yes'' In answer TO the questions 1t
serms her mind was not fully made up. AT
least she reserved the right TO change IT, for
yesterday she appeared at The license clerks
office. accompanied by her father and young
man who looked very much Interested in the
proceedings. She told the clerk that she
wanted the license cancelled. as she was not
exactly satisfied with her liege lord. and as she
thought the clerk ought 10 favor her by draw
ing red lines through the record and thus set
her free, while additional Inducements were
held out that another license might be In de-
mand.
But much as Cupid Haley would have liked
to accommodate her, he was forced TO decline
and advised her TO seek an attorney, which she
did, with the result that the complaint Tor
divorce was filed later in the day.

MRS. LEWIS CASE.
No Accusation Against
DR.. Dodge.
Called Upon to Relieve Her In Sick
ness Brought About by Her
Own Acts.

An error occurred in the article In yester-
days CALL relating to the answer OF the Union
Central Life Insurance Company 20 the suit
brought by Charles Henry Lewis for the recoy-
cry of an insurance policy issued to Mrs. Lewis,
who died in January, 1892. In this article il
was stated that DR.. Washington Dodge bad
BEEN accused and that the answer alleged that
while in this city Mrs. Lewis was attended by
DR.. Dodge, who performed a criminal oper-
alton upon her. This was erroneous The
answer simply stated that Mrs. Lewis had per-
formed an operation upon herself, and that
subsequently while suffering from its effects DIR.
Dodge was called in to treat her.
DR.. Dodge states that he was never called
upon TO treat Mrs. Lewis for illness supeIin-
duced by malpractice, and that the only Illness
for which he ever attended her was when he
was called In to consult with a brother practi.
distinct from that set forth in The complaint.

Captain Dunlevy of the harbor police

given S25 from the contingent fund with
which to pay their fare across the ferry.
When they arrived all arrangements were

Ell CAPTAIN was waiting to convey them
over the creek route 10 Oakland. A large
squad of police were also present to pre-
serve order and keep the gangway open to
the steamer. The captain marshaled them
on board two at a time while they were
counted as they passed. At least 5000 pe0-
pie had assembled to witness the departure,
many of whom will join regiments who
will go the same way in a very short time.
Not the slightest demonstration was
made at the wharf. In fact it appeared tC
be more like a funeral procession movins

lockers.
Each man was provided with rations be-
fore starting out, and well-fllled express

Oakland. where the start is to be made
this morning for the long journey.

All the men who went away appeared

eception-rooms, which were beautifully
decorated for the occasion. Long garlands
of smilaxt draped tentwlse from walls to
the center of the ceilings, transformed the
three apartments into veritable bowers.
These were intermingled with masses OF
La France roses and delicate sprays OF
natural peach and pear blossom.
The prevailing colors in the decorations
of the first two rooms were pink and
white. The third apartment. which was
reserved for the bridal party and the i'm
mediate relatives of the two families, was
symphony in pale yellow and pink. The
flowers were pink roses and peach bios
SONS. Pale pink velvet draped the mirror
and the dainty yellow lamp-shades threw
a soft golden sheen upon the decorations.
Soon after half-past o'clock a stringed
orchestra struck up the strains Of the wed
ding march just as the bridal party en-
tered the first of the three communicating
apartments. The procession was headed
by two little fiower-girls, dressed in white
and carrying bouquets of pale-tinted Parma
viOlets. These little maidens were the
Misses Russell, and upon them devolved
the duty of untying the white satin rib
bons which barred the entrance to the
room reserved for the bridal party. Miss
Isabel Kendall. niece of the bride, was
another little flower-girl, dressed in pink
and carrying vlolets.
Four bridesmaids followed in the pro.
cession. Miss Alice Masten, the younger
sister of the bride, was gowned in soft
pink satin; Miss Bessie Wall, in yellow
froek of the same material. Miss Jennie
Masten, another sister Of the bride, wore
pink, and Miss Susie Russell white. The
maid of honor. Miss Loo Wall, was gowned
in a heavy ribbed silk of delicate shade
lavender, and she carried large bouquet
of Parma violets.
The bride, who is a graceful blonde, next
entered on the arm OF her father. She
looked charming in a simple, but super bly
fitting gown Of brocaded white satin
trimmed with old Venetian point lace. A
white veil covered her head and fell in
soft folds over her dress. The BRIDE:
ornaments were diamonds. In the apart
ment reserved for the wedding party the
bride was met by the groom, accompan lee
by his best man, Harry Durbrow. Tn,

Preceding the afternoon performance there
will be an interesting parade. In which eighty
odd performers, including the band OF Sioux

The entertainments promise to be OF the most
exciting character. introducing every imagn.

many thrilling experiences which California's
pioneers went through while crossing the
plains.
No pains or expense have been spared to
make the show as Interesting as the one given
by Buffalo Bill Id Europe and the East. and 1t
Is evident that Buck Taylor's efforts In this
respect have not been unsuccessful. Wednes

many of the men had come from the East
looki ng for work. and having been disap-
pointed had taken this opportunity of re-
turning, hoping to get near their homes
and drop out befo re reaching Washington

The command is under the guidance Of
Colonel William Baker. who outranks
Barker as leader. though the latter is the
leading sprit in hustling for provender and
transportation, If the latter Is to be obtain
able.
The army assem- bled in and about Furni-
ture-workers' Hall shortly after noon,
where speeches were made, the regiment
divided into twelve companies, and off,
GERS. consisting of captains and lieutenants,
elected for each.
At 2 o'clock Colonel Baker headed the
men, who were formed in twos by the
officers, and the march for the ferry land
ing began. To the left of the colonel
marched the color-bearer. who proudly
held aloft small American flag.
Along the line were carried many Of the
old but significant legends painted on
transparencies which are already familiar
to the public eye, and they have been used
in labor professions fer months past.
LII was understood that 500 were to go,
but three times that number escorted them
to the foot of Market street.
The line of march was along Mission
street from the hall to Seventh. to Market,
to Kearny. to Sacramento, to the ferry.
1t was stolid looking crowd. Few
smiles were visible on any of sheir faces,
though many of them who hobbled over
the cobbles looked like men who had seen
be tier days.
Some were bent with the weight of years
and others were fresh and Youthful In APP
pearance. Two small drums marked the
time for the solemn step of the small
army, and that was all that bordered on
music.
To look at their foot coverings 1t ap-
peared that many would be shoees long
before they reach the cruel SHOWS of the
Sierras. and many may leave traces of
blood not unlike those which occurred in

COnWdy.

John Conway pleaded guilty on Monday to a
charge Of robbery. His crime lay In holding up
one Conlon on Sixth streel.and failing TO obtain
the money he sought, stripping his victim of
shoes, coat and vest.
BY pleading guilty Conway doubtless had an
idea that be would escape with comparatively
light punishment, but he was mistaken. Judge
Wallace, before whom the case was tried, said
the case was one OF gross brutality. Conway
victim was a po0r man, and yet he stripped
him OF bis very clothing. He must 20 TO the

There are people In the world who will not
only persist In marrying In haste, but who quite
frequently refuse to delay the repentance which

suit for divorce which was filed yesterday by
