ENGINEER OF THE FIRST TRAIN THROUGH ALAMEDA John Stark Celebrate —_— ItIs Thirty-Six Years Since He Ran the Engine. ey SRS He Is a Descendant of the Famous Starks. —_— LAMEDA, Oct. I17.—Thirty-six years ago John Stark ran the first railroad train through Alameda. That was in 1864, and John Stark is still alive to tell the story. He is no wretired from active service, but he observed the anniversary of the event this year with a quiet little celebration to remind him of the days when Alameda had a railroad and Oakland did not. The original railroad, by means of which | Engineer Stark was enabled to assist at history-making, was owned and controlled by the late A. A. Cohen, who acted as master of ceremonies on the initial rua, there being a large number of distin guished ghests present. The way through | which the railroad ran was lined with | trees and several times {he engineer | stopped the train and rescued his hat from the grasp of a sharp-pointed branch. The engine used on this trial trip was something of a phenomenon. It was a | little steam engine fitted into the end of a boxecar. It weighed about five tons and h a cylinder §x18. All the rolling stock | was used on the run. It consisted of two passenger and two flat cars. These cary were small and primitive, with a pair of wheels under each end, like a wagon. High street was the terminus of the Cohen railroad until the following Feb- | ruary, when, the rails being laid as far | as San Leandro, trains ran to that town. | In 1865 the road was completed through | to Haywards. In 1869 it was sold to the | Central Pacific Railroad, becoming a part of the great overland system. Over its s the Anniversarg of an Important Event in His Existence. L o | +* . 4 JOHN STARK, HERO OF HIS- l TORICAL EVENT IN ALA- | MEDA COUNTY. L rails the first overland train reached San Tancisco. Engineer Stark served with the Cohen railroad until its sale and then with the Central Pacific Rallroad until May 1, 159, when he retired permanently. His career as an engineer is quite remarkable, ex- tending as it does over a period of forty- two years, cnmmenrlng May 1, 1848, when he was first employed by the Northern New Hampshire Rallway. John Btark comes from an {llustrious family. His grandparents were General John and Mollle Stark, whose nau.cs are famous through the heroism the{ dis- played at the battle of Bennington In the war for American independence. The dif- ference between the ages of the grand- father and the grandson was just ninety- nine years. | RUTZ ALLEGED TO HAVE STARVED HIS HORSES | Humane Society Officer Swears Out ‘Warrant for Arrest of a Baker. | The Society for the Prevention of Cru- elty to Animals is hot on the trail of George A.

For_several years kucalyptol, Guatacoi and Hydrastin have been recognized as standard remedies for catarrhal troubles, but they have always been given separate- ly and only ve recently an ingenious chemist succeedéd in combining them, to- gether with other antiseptics, into a pleas- ant, effective tablet. Druggists sell the remedy under the name of Stuart’s Catarrh Tablets and it has met with remarkable success in the cure of nasal catarrh, bronchial and throat catarrh and in catarrh of the stomach. Mr. F. N. Benton, whose address is care of Clark House, Troy, N. Y., says: When 1 run up against anything that is good I | like to tell people of it. 1 have been troubled with catarrh more or less for some time. Last winter more than ever.

About six weeks ago 1 bought a Gi-cent box of Stuart’s Catarrh Tablets and 1 am to say that they have done wond-n"h“: me and I do not hesitate to let all my friends know that Stuart's Catarrh Tab- iets are the right thing.

Al druggists sell Stuart’s Catarrh Tab- i lets at 50 cents for full-sized package, and they are probably the safest and moet re- Hable cure for any form of catarrh.
