Powell came to be selected over the head of other equaliy competent officers whose selection had been advocated by the best citizens of the District. “Was Capt.

Ihave got to settle up my accounts and straighten out a thousand and | one details in connection with the works under my charge so that my successor can take hold With as little troubie as possible. HIS PRESENT PLANS. iy plan is to start for Sioux City topight and try toarrange matters temporari ean return here in about ten days or two weeka. I will then relieve Capt. Rossell and remain here a couple of weeks until I bave got things in fairly good running order, at any rate sufficiently #0 to enable me to return to Sioux p my affairs there. That I shall be ready to enter fully upon the discharge of my new dnties in Wash- ington. Iam somewhat of a stranger to Wash- ington, I through here during the war in 1863 and I was here fora few days at the time of President Cleveland’s first inaugura- tion. HIS SELECTION A SURPRISE TO HIM. No, I am not acquainted with President Cleveland, and,to be candid with you, my selec- tion for this particular duty is a surprise to nue. That, of course, makes me appreciate the compliment all the, more. A few days ago I was ordered to Washingion to eonfer with the chief of engineers. I ame on and after having attended to that business was ordered to report to the Secretary of War. ‘This afternoon I called on Me. La- mont, who uotified me that I was appointed to be Engineer Commissioner of the District, and that was the first intimation I bed that my name bad been considered for the place.” MIs MILITARY RECORD, ‘The new engineer commissioner has a most ereditable military record. He was born in Ill- inois in 1843 and at the ageof seventeen entered the Union army asa private in the fifth Wis- consin volunteers. ‘This was in May, 1861. He served with credit in the ranks and was | successively promoted to the grade of corporal | and sergeant major. He was in all the battles | of the Army of the Potomac from its organiaa- tion to the completion of its campaign, includ- ing the battle of Getiysburg. APPOINTED TO WEST POINT. His services in the field were specially com- mended by his brigade commander, now Judge Calvin E. Pratt of Brooklyn, as well as by the regimental and other commanders, and at their instance President Lincoln. in September, 1563, appoiiited him from the field a cadet-at-large at the Military Academy. He graduated pear the head of his class in — 1867, and was accordingly _appoin a second lieutenant in the corps of engineers. He served with the engineer battalion at Wil- lett's Point, N. Y., from Angust,1567, to May 1, 1871.during most of which time be was battalion juartermaster. He was promoted iret lieutenant, corps of engineers, April 28, 1869. His next duty was as assistant en- ineer on the tic survey of the northern , May 7, 1871, and on the survey of the Miesiemppi from May 26, 1877, to March, 1879. He was assistant to Maj.
