FBI OAT VVKHWa, FEB, 1, 18H4,
Mr. rncker'i Death.
A special telegram te the Intklli
OENOBn from Mnuch Chunk, announces
the death thcre at 2 o'clock this morn
ing of Hen. Harry JG. Packer, president
of the Lehigh Valley railroad com
pany, and associate Judge of Carben
county. Fer many months Mr. Packer
has been In ill health, nnd for the last
few days the meat accomplished medical
skill has wrestled vainly with a severe
complication of disease resulting from
dropsy and enlargement of the liver.
Notwithstanding the preparation of his
friends, by daily bulletins, for news of a
fatal termination te his illness, the intel
ligence comes with a sharp shock, es
pecially In view of the fact that within
lesa than a year sorrowing hearts fel
lowed his elder brother te the grave. it
is almost exactly a year Blnce the writer
parted with these brothers In 'ew Yerk,
the one bound for the land of flowera
and the ether for the sunny shores of
Prance, both In search of a restoration
of health. The ene never returned In
life ; and the ether only canie back with
a brief lease upon it, te oxperience a new
aflllctlen in the les3 of the companion
ship of his brother and busluess asse
elate.
Inheriting with the vast material in
terests of their father, signal capacity te
manage them, and the loyal attachment
of his large following of devoted friends,
they enlarged these Interests and in
creased their fortune, until they pos
sessed and wisely exercised a power in
the business affairs of the commonwealth
scarcely equalled by that of any indi
vidual citizens of the state. They net
only used It wisely with reference te the
duties of geed citizenship and the rola rela rola
tlen of corporations te the state, but
their personal beuellcence was almost
boundless. Ne geed ciuse that appealed
went from them empty handed ; they
wero democratic In every true seuse of
the word ; bread minded, genial, gener-
eus, progressive and warm hearted, they
were representatives of much that makes
for the glory of the commonwealth ; and
the state has cause for doubly deep
mourning that within a year has lest
''eth the seu3 of Asa Packer.
Mere or It.
We leek te see a shout of approval of
the verdict in the Hewell cube, in 11a
tavia, . Y., go up from the same
maudlin newspapers which se unstint
edly commended the acquittal of James
Nutt en the ground of emotional in
sanity. Hewell, who murdered his
wife's paramour, has Iwen set free en
the ereund of self defense, although It is
plain ns noonday that it was a mere pre
text for the jury, who really meant te
justify his deed. There was no self
defense about it. lie and hl3 business
associate trapped the slain nun in his
house, whither the woman had Invited
him Armed with red pepper, a slung
shot, and a pistol, he crept softly in his
stocking feet te where the unsuspecting
victim lay, carefully dls'itigulshed him
from his wife and shot him in the most
cold blooded and cowardly way. There
was nothing that makes murder in the
first de-sree lacking In the crime ; and
yet popular seutlraent justifies the kill
ing, and the verdict of the jury sets the
avenger fret-.
If it Is te be written in the law that
the adulterer, seducer or paramour shall
be shot en sight then let it be placed en
the statute books without delay, se that
the guiltier woman, as In this B.ituvia
case, may besuhjectte the same fate as
her companion ; if every man Is te he -come
the judge and the avenger of his
own wrong, or fancied wrong, let that
doctrine be engrafted upon the statute ;
but In the name of all that is Chris
tian and lawahldiug let us have
dene with this farce of having
laws and then applauding juries that
viudlcate the violation et them. The

ALLEXTOWN'b hospitable Democracy
very promptly resent the Idea that any
change in the place of meeting of the
state convention need bu made b 'cause
of a lack of accommodations there for
the rtelegaUn and visitors. Whatever
may be thought of the policy of ever
holding a convention elsowheio than In
the state capital, we have never enter
tained any doubt that, after AHentewn
was selected, the hospitality uf Its citi
zens wjuI I prove equal te any demand
made uuen them. Besides, It is te be re
membered that for a very large preper
tien of the dolegates te the convention
AHentewn Is quite as conveniently cen
tral and uccesslble as auy ether place in
the state of equal slze aud with the same
facilities. Over 200 of the 359 delegates
te the convention reside east of the Sus
quehanna, and fully half of the whole
number can reach AHentewn as convent,

We de net believe the report Is reliable ;
it caunet be se if, as Select Councilman
Dlller says, it relates only te the time
that the policemen happened te observe
mom. of course, the policemen have
toemany ether duties te expect them te
stand en the street corners all night aud
watch the electric lights ; but the
present system of calculating their fall
ure te de their work Is net accurate.
We recommend that all citizens living
in the neighborhood of any ene of the
lights, and all whoareebsorvant of their
Irregularities report the same, as a cer
