and established its credit on a sound basis.
1t built the brick store on K street now
occupied by Casey & Cronin. Its property
was burned by the great fire of November z,
1852. but soon rebuilt. The flood of 1858 was
another blow to the firm, but iudomitable
perseverance soon restored it. In 1854 the
firm amicably dissolved, dividing the realty
and personally equally. Mr.. Hopkins went
East on visit in the fall of $780, and again
in the spring of 1854. His retiracy from the
grocery business was had with the plan in
view of
JOINING HANDS
With Mr.. Huntington, which he did in 1855,
at 81 K street. In the same block was the
business house of Stanford Brothers, and also
that of E. H. Miller, ,Jr., while further up
town was the store of Charles Croker. Out
of these three houses came the men Stanford,
Huntington, Croker and Miller, who mainly
formed the partnership out of which grew
the great accomplishment already referred
to - the transcontinental railway - and
in which company Mr.. Hopkins occu-
pied so prominent position, and where
his counsels and cool Judgment were great
power and commanded the respect of all his
associates. Mr.. Hopkins died March 20,
San Francisco few days later.
THE JUNIORS.
Albert Gallatin Is a native of Sparta, New
York. He came to California in 1860. June,
1861, he entered the house Of Huntington &
Hopkins as porter. He rose to be a sales
man, and in March, 1864, with George p.
Howe, entered into business for himself at
Dayton, Nevada. In January, 1867, he sold
with Huntington & Hopkins as a salesman.
January l, 1868, he and others became mem
bers of the firm, which then changed its name
to Huntington, Hopkins & Co.
w. r. S. FOye is a native of Niscasset.
Maine, and received his business training and
education in Boston. He struck out for new
fields in 1856. and came to California. Early
in 1857 he became a salesman with Hunt
ington & Hopkins, Sacramento, and January
l, 1868, was admitted to the firm.
Charles Miller is a native of Green county,
n. Y. He came to California in 1856, and
at once located in Sacramento, finding eIn-
ployment with f. II. Miller, Jr., & Co. as
bookkeeper, where he remained until 1850.
when he found like employment with Hunt
ington, Hopkins & Co. He kept the place
until 1862, when he became chief bookkeeper
for Hooker 4 Co., and subsequently was ad-
mitted to that firm. In 1868 Huntington &
Hopkins bought out Hooker & CO., and con-
solidated the business with their own, and
Mr.. Miller was admitted January LIST of that
year to the firm.
H. III. SeatoD, of Connecticut, was a book
keeper with Huntington & Hopkins in 1862,
and January l, 1868, was admitted to the
firm. He retired January l, 1877, and has
since resided in Oakland.
Thus briefly is given a sketch of a Sacra-
mento firm, the history of which is insepara-
bly, woven with the history of the State of
California and the era of her greatest devel-
opnent.

A Home in the Celestial City !

MINNEAPOLIS Cfinn. }, Dec 10, 1878.
II. r. STEVENS Boston: About % years ago,

out, and has been from two to ten running sores
ever since / could not sleep fourth Of a night
once in six months, and great many nights
compelled to get up and take opium-a piece as

everything could hear Of. In fact, have paid out
hundreds Of dollars and found no relief until CON-
meneed taking VEGETINE, and now | can 60 TO

have to put my hand on something TO keep from

it has all disappeared, and 1 feel like new man.
Ny honest conviction is that it viii cure my leg
entirely, from the present looks and feelings. /
shall continue taking VEGETINE, and recommend
it to all whom | come across; and hope the man
who introduced YEGETINE into the United States
will have home in the Celestial City. Yours most

but surely its gains were real, its expansion
genuine, and at no time did the house take a
step backward.
These men drew about them, as associates,
men of like business principles and political
faith. They came of Free Soil stock. and in
1856 cast their political fortunes with the
Republican party. Their place of business
was not infrequently council-room for the
leaders in the young party. These meetings
brought together Hopkins, Stanford, Hunt
ington, Judah, Miller, the Croker brothers,
and others. The desire of the people of the
Pacific coast for transcontinental railway
was frequent topic of conversation, and led
in the end to resolution being arrived at by
these men to enter upon the work of building
the Central Pacific Railway. Once resolved
upon it, determined by the far-seeing
financial ability of Huntington, the
cautious judgment of Hopkins, the
executive ability of Stanford, the bust
ness conclusions of the Crockers and
Miller and the technical knowledge
of Judah, and supported by a few kindred
spirits, they began the great work. in the face
of what, to ordinary men, would have been
accepted as insurmountable obstacles. This
new work soon absorbed their attention, de-
manded the presence of Mr.. Huntington in
the East, and called for others to take charge
of the growing. hardware business of Hun
tington & Hopkins.
The business of Huntington & Hopkins
grew steadily and expanded until the house
became the leading one of the interior. In
1868 young men were admitted to the firm,
and the house made a long stride ahead and
expanded its business with great rapidity.
In 1872 the firm opened large establish
ment in San Francisco, made new additions
to the Sacramento buildings, and in 1880 has
again enlarged and improved its storerooms
as described and in keeping with the advance
of its business.
MARK HOPKINS
Was born in Jefferson county, n. Y, Sep
TENDER l. 1918, and received a sound bust
ness training He early manifested love
for business life, and proved sagaciOus, far
seeing and economical in his business practices.
He served in his fathers store and in other
commercial houses. For a time he read
law, but his business inclinations soon
drew him back to commercial walks.
James Rawlin, New York city, the discov-
cry of gold in California was made. He and
L. II. Miller, Jr., with twenty-four others,
formed the New England Mining and Trad
ing Company and sailed for California on the
ship Pacific January %, 1S49, which arrived
in San Francisco August 9th of that year.
The company disbanded, its venture not
proving satisfactory. Mr.. Hopkins assembled
the Sacramento river to Lassen's Rancho,
searching for mines, but returned by land,
reaching Sacramento November, 1919. He
then began to trive an OK team to the noun
tains, freighting on his own account. He
opened store near Placerville soon after. In
February, 1850, he sold out, walked into
Sacramento and entered, with but light capt.
tai, into partnership with E. ii. Miller, Jr, in
the grocery trade. A fine business was soon
built up and the firm accumulated property

The history of the firm OF Huntington,
Hopkins & Go. of Sacramento and San Fran.
cisco forms part of the historic record OF
California. We present this morning a front
view of the sales and warerooms of the house
in Sacramento. one being the K-street front
age of the principal building and the other
the L-street frontage of the iron warehouse,
which is Immediately in the rear of the K.
street building and separated from it only by
the alleyway of the block. A detailed de-
many columns of matter, but brief sketch
will indicate the magnitude of the business
conducted and the capacity Of the house to
carry on as it does
THE LARGEST HARDWARE BUSINESS
Upon the Pacific coast. The K-street 'front.'
age is 80 feet, and the walls shown in the up
per engraving are of recent construction,
while much of tie interior has been lately re-
modelled and better adapted to the growing
trade of the house. These changes give a
front at once massive and of business charac-
ter, without any artificial extravaganza. They
also include new story to the front section
of the building. This section has three floors
in the west 40 feet, extending to depth of
ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY FEET.
The east 40 feet is so feet in depth and en-
braces two floors, containing the Offices and
counting rooms, which are large and admirably
adapted to the demands of the firm. Here,
too, is massive vault, which alone cost some
SO, 600, and is burglar and fire-proof and fit
ted up with the most ingenious devices for
the storage of the firm papers and the safe
keeping and ready reference to of all CORE
spondence, books, private papers of members
of the firm, etc. In this section also are stor-
age rooms for nails, shovels, wire, rubber hose,
all sizes and qualities, surplus stock of sad
irons, strap and F hinges, etc.
Beneath, on the basement floor, is storage
space also, where is packed in all the nicely
of business order, wooden ware. trucks, straw,
Manila and hardware paper, black lead cru
cibles, garden and railroad wheelbarrows,
and crates of heavy goods.
In the west 40 feet of frontage is the sales
and shelf wareroom. This is 100 feet deep,
with lofty ceiling, and lighted not only from
the front, but by two large skylights above
a court opening through the upper story. In
this room is arranged all the light house
hardware, bolts, ship chandlery, edged tools,
locke, plated goods, chains, blacksmiths'
goods, fine and heavy cutlery, bolts, nuts
and house furnishing hardware.
In the midst Of this room Is located the
entry, receiving and stock clerks Office,
which is large structure, with glass sides
above wainscoting, and all sides of which
command full view of this main salesroom.
IN THIS ROOM
Are to be seen also some of the latest i'm
proved counters with pyramidal sides, upon

Run Over and Killed-A wedding that
Did Not Como or.

VALLEJO, May 2Sth.-The Middletown cor
respondent of the Neacs, in letter dated
May 18th, says: Monday morning Charles
Turner, very promising young man, well
and favorably known in Middletown, started
for Calistoga with six-horse team with
load of quicksilver. He had been gone from
Middletown about two hours when Mr..
Nickerson, Superintendent of the Eastern
mine, come in for doctor, and reported he
(Charlie) had been thrown from his wagon
and fearfully mangled. A physician imme-
diately repaired to the place and found that
the hind wheel had passed diagonally across
his body and crushed him fearfully. There
were 600 pounds of freight on at the time,
and the wagon weighed 2, 500 pounds. He
fingered through the day, suffering great
pain, and died the next morning at o'clock
He leaves large circle of relatives and
friends to mourn his loss.
An amusing incident occurred at the
Western mine yesterday. a very estimable
young lady had been keeping company with
a wealthy and highly-respected farmer from
Shasta for about one year. The wedding day
had been fixed, the guests invited and an ele-
CANT dinner had been prepared. The priest
guests and eXpectant bridegroom were await
ing the appearance of the bride, when per-
son came in and reported that the bride had
changed her mind, and that there would be
40 wedding that day. One can imagine the
feelings of the bridegroom. No reason is
assigned for the change in the young lady.
