IN MEMORY OFF LOUIS FISHER.

The Tribute of the Club to Which
the Dead Journalist was Presi-
dent.
The Press club committee, appointed
to prepare memorial upon the death
of its president, Louis E. Fisher, has
submitted the following:
On March 5, 1883, Louis E. Fisher,
president of the st. Paul Press club,
and a Journalist of more than forty
years. honorable and unremitting
service, died at the ripe age of sixty
seven years. Profoundly impressed
with sense of the bereavement it has
sustained, and DESTROYS OF transmitting
memorial of its appreciation of his
eminent worth, this club places on Its
records this tribute to his memory.
Louis E. Fisher came to Minnesota IN
1854. and was henceforward, until about
the last day of his life, constantly en-
ployed in the offices of st. Paul newSpa-
pers. Rising in his profession from its
humblest seats to that of editor-in-chief
for several years of leading daily
journal-each position found him amply
qualified by natural gifts and abund-
antly equipped by solid requirements to
perform all its eXacting duties. His in
dependence of thought and integrity OF
purpose no man ever questioned. lie
evaded none Of the obligations imposed
by an armed championship OF the causes
he eSpoused-yet so winged were all his
shafts with kindly frankness, that they
left no fostering wounds. In c0mmu-
nifty where fierce warfareS had been
waged, he, who had often been foremost
in the onset, died without foe. In
community where men who had
worthily filled high public stations
abounded, he, their peer and
associate, who had never held an office
nor sought one, died as he had lived,
universally respected. In community
much given to the accumulation OF
wealth, he who had never possessed
riches nor desired them, was borne to
his final earthly rest amid tokens of
general sorrow. He was industrious In
his vocation, a conscientious citizen,
sincere Christian and an honest man.
Blessed with a serenity of temper and
cheerfulneSs of disposition as conta-
gious as exceptional, he frightened all
the pathways which he trod, profess
sional, social and domestic, and passed
onward at last, leaving remembered;
brightness in the hearts OF all who were
privileged to know him.
Resolved, That we tender to the
widow and sons of our late president
the assurance Of our deepest sympathy
in this time of their deepest affection.
Resolved, That this memorial be pre-
served in our records as tribute to his
worth and an expression of our bereave-
ment.

The ProprietOrs of "Jef's Cab
Line" Take Their Goods and
ChatteIs and Are Gone.
A half dozen excited men stood about
red and white sign announcing the of
fee of jeff 5 Cab line in front of No. 156
East Third street last night. Across the
street was another little group, equally
excited. and down ON the Merchants
hotel corner another. They were all
talking about the same thing, and in
language which might be called pro-
fame.
The men who had caused all this COM
motion were Thomas Conody and James
Merrill. who have been doing business
AS proprietors of .Jetf'S Cab line for the
last eight months, with an Office in the
saloon of Murphy & Reber, next door to
the Merchants National bank. YeSter-
day afternoon both gentlemen diSap-
peared suddenly, and it was
learned that they had taken the
800 train for Minneapolis. They
also took everything else they could
icon" out Of their acquaintance about
the corner. Comedy got a $50 suit OF
clothes from w. l.. McGrath, the tailor.
Merrill got furnishing goods from r. A.
Lanpher IL Co.. amounting to $500,
and coat and vest from the Reid Tail
Oring company, for which he was to pay
S23. Comedy got gold watch and dia-
mond charm from George Hope, the
representative of a Minneapolis jewelry
firm. for which he was to pay S160. He
paid $3.50 down and was topay the rest
Monday. Hope thought he knew him
and let him have the watch ''to wear
over Sunday" Comedy also took along
a $50 watch belonging to Dave Winners,
one of his drivers, on which he had adj
Vanced So.
''Jef1's cab line" consisted of five han
som cabs and one coupe and the horses
to operate them. The line was sold yes
terday morning to man named White
from Minneapolis, and st. Paul real
estate man named Little, land Comedy and
Merrill were paid 81 600 in cash. 1t is
rumOred that some of the stock was
mortgaged, but the gentlemen were
making a grand cleanup and a little
thing like that made no difference.
Comedy had family and Merrill was
his brOther-in-law. Conody'S family
moved out of the house where they were
living on Eighth street few weeks ago,
and Friday afternoon Comedy sold all
the household furniture.
They owed four drivers and two
stable-men for the last two weeks work,
a total Of over 500. They also owed
Murphy d Reeber SO for rent. and the
returns are not all in yet. The police
have been notified of their departure,
and til ey will be brought back if found.

Proper Division of the City
Offces---Promises From the
Mayor.
A lively meeting of the Ninth Ward

held at Stahl's hall, Rice and Charles
streets, last evening. After the trans
action of routine business, of which
there was little, the audience, which in
Guided many not members of the union,
settled down to listen to an
harangue by J. H. Gieske, member
of the central committee of the unions.
The subject OF Mr.. Gieske's remarks
was, GLOW the Spells Should Be Di-
vided." This he proceeded to discuss
from the standpoint of the German
American clubs. He was firm in the be-
lief that seven COMMUNICATIONS
should wear the title of alderman. He
would be satisfied with two members at
large and one each from the Third,
Fourth and Ninth wards, Dayton's
bluff and the West side. Fur
ther he declared that from the nominee
for mayor should be eXacted promise
to give the COMMUNICATIONS adequate
representation on the board of educa-
Ton IN ORDER tlaJ JnaC element might
have reasonable assurance that

ing He states that to the central body
had been submitted copy of the
platform of the SocialiStic Labor
party, and declared that the German
Americans had no use for platforms of
any kind. lie deprecated the methods
of labor assemblies and trades unions in
boarding up money III their treasures,
declaring that the members would be
better cfl were they to divide such funds
pro rata. As a whole Mr.. Gieske's ad-
dress was, to put it mild, a violent ap-
peal to the national prejudices OF the
Germans
