OAKLAND, CAL, Aug. 25.-It is NO

lead, but the feat was accomplished by q
thief or thieves last night.
Entrance was effected into the yard of
the Contra Costa Water Company at the
foot of Webster street during the night
and that amount of lead carted away.
Owing to the extteme weight of the stuff
it is not thought that it will go very far
before those handling it will be detected.
The lead is used by the company in max
ing joints whenever the pipe is laid and
large supply is always kept on hand.

800 pounds, and is not man to take iber-
ties with. He is at present the guest of
Rev. G. M. Hill of the Tenth-a avenue Bap-
tist Church, and is on his way from his
home in Portland to the Baptist Conven-
ton in Twin Lakes.
Last Sunday evening he occupied the
pulpit Of the First Baptist Church and told
of some interesting times during the early
history of religious work on the coast.
Mr.. Wooddy is the coast secretary OF
the American Baptist Home Mission Soci-
ETY., editor Of the Pacific Baptist, the off,
cial organ OF the Baptist denomination
on the coast, and powerful preacher. He
stands 6 feet 8 inches in height and
weighs nearly 300 pounds. AS he stood in
the pulpit Sunday beside Rev. G. II. Ho-
bart, the latter looked like boy.
He read the evening lesson from the
Scriptures where Joshua was commanded
to go up into the promised land and cap
ture it for the children of Israel. Spies
came into the camp and related their ex-
perience3 in the promised land, telling of
the great giants there. When Mr.. Hobart
introduced the gentleman he referred to
the matter and said: "I begin to think
when / stand here between our Brother
Wooddy and Brother Fleenor. And there
is Brother Smith in the rear of the room"
Mr.. Woody gave an account of his
early work in Oregon. He is native son
of that State and can tell many historical
facts concerning it from experience. He
told of a newspaper account of one of his
earliest charges. 1t related how Brother
and Sister Snodgrass had moved East,
Brother Henderson had also gone, the
clerk had joined the army, and the dea-
con had committed suicide, leaving the
pastor without enough supporters to keep
up an organization. At another time
forty mem bers moved out of the town at
time. He stayed for while, but was
finally forced to go, too.
When the first religious journal was pro-
The San Francisco call., 1896-08-26

posed it took four months to get letter
East and four months to get the paper
back. Then if man answered the letter
for publication it took another eight
months to get the paper with the answer
into the first writer's hands. By that time
he had forgotten all about his position on
the subject.
He stated that the First Baptist Church,
established in 1s49 was the first Protestant
church in California, and in eighteen
years 100 Baptist churches had been or
ganized, but that owing to the migratory
habit of the people sixty-five OF these had
been disbanded at the end of that eighteen
years, leaving only small portion OF the
field covered with churches.
During his stay in Oakland Mr.. Wooddy
was photographed for THE CALL. He said:
'.I have been in the newspaper business
six and a half years. One and half years
of that time / have been the secretary of
the A. b. II. NJ. Society, and have travelled
all over the coast. I am going to Twin
Lakes to speak"
Mr.. Wooddy accompanied Rev. and Mrs.
C. NJ. Hill, Rev. and Mrs. James Sunder-
land, Mrs. o. NJ. Vesper, Captain FL. T..

Mrs Ada Sarah More Seward filed q
complaint for divorce to-day. Mrs. More
is the woman who was married somewhat
burriedly about year ago to Cornelius
Edward Stuart or Seward.
A few days after the marriage Stuart
went ty the Coonty Clerks Office and, after
being permitted to inspect the marriage
license record, he erased his name and
made it to read Seward. When charged
with the crime of mutilating a public
record he denied having done so, but when
brought to trial he admitted the erasure,
but stated that he merely wished to cor
rect his name. ID is case was dismissed by
Jury.
A little later information came to his
new wife of another Mrs. Stuart living in
San Jose and later still another report
was received that neither of the women
had a monopoly of the mans name. A
merchant of TulaTe also wanted to settle
up a financial transaction with Stuart.
but when he was free of the record
mutilating case he did not stay around
Oakland.
In her complaint Mrs. More alleges all
the statutory offenses, especially deser-
ton, as it will be easier TO prove her case
and secure her release that way than by
attempting to convict Stuart of bigamy.
Mrs More is a widow with a snug little
estate and Stuart had already induced her
to give him a portion of it when she dis
covered his perfdy. 1t is not known
where Stuart is at present.
