LOUBDES' STANDING.
Pastor Russell Says He
Must Be Tried Again
He Thinks Not.

The Rev. William H. Russell, of the
James Methodist Episcopal Church, did
not directly refer yesterday to the revers-
al by the Hoboken Quarterly Conference
of the conviction of Trustee Samuel G.
Loundes. by jury OF the James Church.
He said to a reporter: "Mr. Loundes now
stands in the position of church mem
Der under charges. The conviction was
set aside on the ground of insufficient eyi-
dence. The Methodist discipline does not
prescribe that another trial must follow
reversal on appeal, but according to the
principles of common law, that will be the
proper procedure. The Quarterly Con-
ference of our Church will meet tonight.
and the case will come before II. Inc
Conference will decide what is TO be done.
Ii new trial is ordered, it will be held
this week. shall refer to the case In my
farewell sermon next Sunday evening.
"The jury which tried Mr. Loundes
has been called packed jury, but u was
not so packed as the jury of the HOBO
ken church The HoDoken conference Is
in sympathy with Loundes because tnat
congregation, like Loundes and MS
friends, were disappointed in the preach
er sept them. They wanted the Rev: Mf.
Wilson, now of Wilmington. Del,
brother of the Rev Mr.. Wilson of the
Eighteenth Street Church. New York.
II have new evidence against Loundes
which will be likely to make his conylc-
tiOn sure il Re is tried again. II Lhe
Quarterly Conference decides against a
new trial, / shall make charges or mar
administration against the Hoboken Con-
ference to the General Conference. Inc
Hoboken Conference admitted evidence
which it had no right to do."
Mr.. Loupdes and his friends say that
he is now member in good standing
just as before the charges OF falsehood.
deceitfulness aud unduly withholding
church funds were preferred. 1t is certain
that he is still trustee of the churcn.
because according TO the State law 1t IS
not necessary for a trustee to be cnurcn
member.
The reporter conversed with several OF
the church members. One OF them said
that he Thought it was queer case all
through. II do not see why Mr.. Loundes
should be expelled. The charges
made were not serious in my mind, and
think that the Conference did only rignt
in granting his reinstatement. think
that if new hearing is made, MI.
Loundes's victory will be complete.
Another member said:-"l am very
sorry that anything of the kind has come
up In the church Mr.. Loundes's charge
was not such as to warrant such COM
motion In the church circles. | earnestly
hope that the decision of the Conference
will be final"
Almost all whom the reporter saw ex-
pressed themselves as satisfied with the
result as 1t is now.

j. c. A. o.'s BEST STAG YET.

The Entertainment Committee of the Jersey
City Athletic Club redeemed the promise made
some time ago, that the next stag would be the
best the club had ever had, most fully, on Sat
urdey evening. The hall was very nearly full
when the first number was announced, and the
audience was most appreciatiye one, judging
from the amount of applause each performer
received. The programme was an excellent one,
and contained departure from the usual line
in that several OF the Cub members partici-
pated. Mr.. James Newkirk, "Cyclone Zim, the
bowling fiend, gave several recitations in a
manner and with a zest that brought the house
down. Mr.. Waddinston, also a member of the
club, gave an exhibition of rapid sketching
which was exceedingly well done. Among his
sketches were "HorsesDoe Falls "A Scene on
the Coast of Song Island,'' "a Sandwich Island
Native and "a Study from Policeman Of
Duty" This last one was enjoyed by all pres
ent. A banjo duet was rende cd by Messrs
Howell aud Ferris and was encored. The
