 of Hon. Charles Ives.
 A meeting of the New Haven county bar was held in the Superior Court room yester day morning at 1O:3Q o'clock to take suitable action on the death of the late Hon. Charles Ives There was large attendance, Hon. Tilton E. Doolittle presiding.
 Ex-Governor Inge rsoll, on addressing the chair, said that only few months ago he paid tribute of respect and esteem to the memory of Hon. Henry White. 'sWe little thought, he continued, tour brother Ives would so soon follow him. MT. Ives was not the oldest member of our bar, but still think he was more constant associate of our profession in the court house and the office than any of us in the last thirty-fve years
 His energy, perseverance and personal fideli- ty were remarkable and have gained the re. spect and esteer of the bar which has called 90 many of thS bar here to-day, and which will cause them to hold his memory long in
 remembrance" He then presented the fol- lowing resolutions
 Res0loed, That in the death of Charles Ives, Esq, the president of this bar, the profes- sion has to deplore the loss of one of it's old est and foremost members A ready speak CT, careful in the preparation of his cases, vigilant to protect the interests of his client, always at his post and punctual to any en- gagement, his place is one which it will be difficult to fill, and his life furnishes signal example to his younger brethren of what can be accomplished by earnest endeavor and
 faithful application to the duties of their call | ing.
 Resoyced, That the bar will attend his fune-
 ral in body, and that the chairman of this meeting request the Superior Court at the opening of the ensuing term to cause these proceedings to be entered on it's records Rcs0lUed, That copy of these resolutions be 1 transmitted to Mrs. Ives by the secretary oi this meeting.
 John W. filling, replying to the resolutions, ! said The dead of our bar are more than the i living He had the good fortune to be stu dent in the office of the deceased and had oc- | casion to know him well What did not ap. | pear at first in the man was his intense and confident reliance upon himself. He thor oughly believed in himself, in his luck, in his | good fortune And he had good cause to. He | made up his mind to be alawyer when he wal | so ill the chances of his being in his grave | seemed better. He made up his mind to bt ! @ lawyer and he was one of the best. He
 never fretted over case, but depended upor 1 his luck to carry him through He was hap I py and fortunate in all he undertook. And | think he was fortunate in death; for I be | ieve when the time comes for us to go, it Ii
 better to go quickly. He never seemed tC 1 dread death. MT. Ives seemed to me to be :. person who had looked into the grave in hi earlier years and was ready when the cal
 came to say, ''very well, am ready" heartily concur in the resolutions MT. Chair
 man. MT. Ives began poor and he won hi \ way to fame wealth and happiness. | Appropriate remarks followed by Charle
