1t is Probable the Popular Pastor Will
Rem ain in Jersey City.
The fourth quarterly conference of st.
Paul's NJ. E. Church will be held this
evening and upon its deliberations will
depend the question whether the Rev
Mr. Halleron will be returned to this
charge for another year or be transferred
The conference will be composed of the
presiding elder, the pastor, the leaders
and stewards of the church, the Sunday
school superintendent and the trustees
who are members of the church.
AS far as can be learned at this time the
return of Mr.. Halleron will be asked, as
he is universally liked and respected by
the congregation, and is good worker.
He has just closed his second year with
the church, and as the law of the Metho-
dist Church allows a pastor to serve for
five years in one church before q change
is compulsory, there is but little doubt
expressed in regard to the pastor being
retained.
At the conference tonight the pastor
will present his annual report and the
trustees will present written report of
the standing of the church.

A Wild Cruise Through the
City, with Several In
jured---A Proud
Copper.

Tired of standing in It's stall at the
Sixth street abattoir meek looking and
big horned Texas steer, when he found a
gate open, walked out. He took sur
vey of the river front before going
on tour of exploration, and
apparently convinced that he had no use
for the chilly waters Of the Hudson
turned his head toward the city. He was
a sagacious steer and walked to Hender-
son street as meekiy as bleating lamb
could have done.
There the wicked small boy made his
appearance and was joined by other
wicked boys. They made search for
tin cans, stones, sticks and bricks, which
seemed TO be abundant at that particular
place. owing to the forgetfulness
the poor steer with all they could obtain.
A little dog became jealous of the atten-
tion paid to the Southerner and bit his
hind legs.
The steer did not like this, and he
started up Sixth street on trot. The
boys followed, and were reinforced by a
number of cowboys When they reached
Grove street policeman who wanted
exercise joined in the chase.
UP THE HILL.
The Texan ran up the street to Newark
avenue, where it started up the Hill. The
boys and dog were played out by this
time and the policeman was
PatroIman Cratzberg. He saw
at this juncture horse and buggy stand
ing unoccupied near the sidewalk and
confiscated it for the pursuit The steer
looked back and saw him coming, and
with renewed vigor continued his flight.
At Waldo avenue, half way up the hill,

head the animal off. He was knocked
out in one round.
The steer did not stop to apologize, but
continued his run When the steer
reached the top of the Hill the policeman
was at the foot, and the horse was
winded.
TowED.
Texas ran faster tnan ever then until
the five corners were reached, where he
saw Michael Mulley contractor, aged
fifty years, of No. / Orchard street, going
toward Hoboken avenue. The steer
lowered its head, gave snort
and the contractor went as high as
up the wound on his hip and his right
hand will be able to sign checks in few
weeks. He was taken home.
Albert Schoeneman, aged eleven years,
of No. 692 Newark avenue, was the next
victim. The steer gave him double
SOnefSAull, ana ne IS now nome suffering
from a scalp wound. The policeman
was just near enough to see this and he
whipped up his horse. The steer at
break-neck speed went down Newark
avenue.
Crossing Duffield street he saw John
Schuler, of No. ISL Newark avenue, and
made a dive for him. He tossed
Mr.. Schuler several feet and in

Policeman Cratzberg was almost up to-
the Hackensack river he got close enough
to shoot He got in a fatal bullet with
