Action of the Bar on the Death of Mr.. Parke.

After the death of Joseph NJ. Parke was
announced to the court, on Friday of last
week, court adjourned and meeting of the
bench and bar was held, Judge Roberts pre-
siding. a committee, consisting of MeSsrs.
Charles L. Reifsnider, James A. c. Bond,
William H. Thomas, D. n. Henning, j. Mil
ton Reifsnider, Michael f. Walsh and Chas.
E. Fink, was appointed to draft up a suitable
memorial to the memory of the deceased.
On Monday after court adjourned another
meeting was held, when Charles Il. Reifsni-
der presented the following from the com
mittee:
MEMORIAL TO JOS. NJ. PARKE.
MI Joseph NJ Parke was essentially counseling
lawyer, requiring time for full deliberaton in the
in the application of principles to the facts owing
to this mental trait, and also to the deep-rooted
and inherited love for the TRUTH he was ever dis
trustful of a quick judgment upon any question
and rarely could be induced to take part in the
evervarying and changing scenes OF the trial table.
His legal ability was, however, OF high order,
giving to his opinions value second to none. He
always inclined to advise on the side where he
believed truth and justice were. He seemed never
to think of himself, or the emoluments which were
to follow his professional laborS. This became an
incidental or after-consideratiOn with him. The
predominant desire seemed to be to serve others and
to minimize his own services. To his professional
brothers, and indeed to everybody his bearing was
uniformly courteous. even deferentiai: Whilst
he obtruded them on none, and bore with patience
and tolerance the differing views of Others. His
charity for the shortcomings of his fellow men was
as boundless as their needs Verify
''He lived through all this track of years
Wearing the white flower Oft b!ameless life"
The memorial was directed to be spread
upon the records of the court, copy be sent
to the family. and that it be published in the
county papers.
Judge Charles B. Roberts presided, and
eulogized the character of the venerable law
