SCHELL. Among First Compositors Employed in Government Printing Office. Charles W. Schell, one of the oldest print- ers In the District, dled at 6:15 o'clock yes- terday morning. after an illness uf three weeks, at his residence, No. 4 I street northeast, in the seventy-first year of his age. Mr. Schell was of one of the ol-est families of this section, his grandparents having settled in the neighborhood of 19th and D streets about 1760, where they con- ducted a vineyard for several years. ‘The revolutionary war coming on, the business was abandoned, and those of the family cld enough to bear arms enterei the conti- nental army, serving until the close of the war. The family later settled near Frederick, Md., but early in the century Mr. Schell’s parents moved to the District, locating in Georgetown, where the subject of this sketch was born in 1823. At the age of fourteen years he was apprenticed to the late Columbus Alexander, whose office was then on 17th street opposite the Navy De- partment. He served there seven years, and shortly after attaining his majority worked for John T. Towers & Bro. on 6th street, and afterward for Messrs. Wendell and Van Benthuysen. The latter office was the foundation of the government printing office, and Mr. Schell was one of the first compositors in that establishment. He served thirty-five years as an employa of the office, Mr. J»efrees, in 1861, giving him the supervision of the apprentices at the case, which place he filled for about twenty years, during which time hundreds received their instruction from him in the art of printing. About five years ago he left the office and had since engaged in the cigar and tobacco business. Mr. Schell's wife, Who was @ Miss Irving, survives him. The funeral will take place tomorrow at 2 o'clock from St. Aloysius Church. —— Marriage Licenses. Marriage licenses have been issued to the following: White—Clarence E.

To the Editor of The Evening Star: In your issue of the 10th instant, under the heading of “The Eve of Civil Strife,” it is erroneously stated that the late Gen=ral Peter F. Bacon, brigadier general of the District troops, was the one to respond to the call of President Lincoln for troops in defensa of the capital. The real facts in the case are these: When, in 1861, President Lincoin, realiz- ing the need of a military defense in Wash- ington, issued the call for troops my father, Gsorge C. Thomas, at that period in charge of the West Point bureau of the War De- partment, an ex-officer of the regular army and graduate of the West Point class of 1886, having served through the Florida war with distinction, was the first to offer his services in d2fense of the capital, being appointed major general of the Dis:rict militia on the President's bodyguard, Gen- eral Peter F. Bacon being brigadier on his staff. For the greater economy and facll{- tation of affairs in the emergency, the ap- pointment of notary public was conferred in comnection with the military position, under which selection every regiment raised in the Union was sworn into the service immediately upon arrival, tha oath of al- legiance being administered by battalions upon the camp ground immediately precei- ing the review by my father in the tui uniform of his rank, attended by his staff. When lester the seat of government was threatened, shortly before the surrender of Lee, my father, still in waa in charge of the defense, remaining in active servic3 until peace was declared. When some years later the rank of major general of the District militia was restored, it was conferred upon Ge y. A. P. THOMAS. —— es Congress Heights Citizens Meet. The regular meeting of the Congress Heights Citizens’ Association was held last night in the old school house of the sub- urb, with Mr. David Gillin, first vice presi- dent, in the chair. The meeting was well attended. Mr. Gustave Bender, on behalf of the rail- rcad committee, stated that during the busi. ness hours two cars were running between Anacostia and Corgress Heights, and one of tha cars is being taken off too early in the evening. It should run, he said, at least until 10 o'clock at night. Mr. Wm. Hartley moved that the railroad authoritles be re- quested to have two cars running regularly, and the motion was adopted. The reports of the highway, school and legislation committees were adopted. A communication from the Business Men's Association was received, inviting the Congress Heights Citizens’ Association to designate two members to serve, with- out dues, as members of sald association. ‘The invitation was accepted, and Mr. Gus- tave Bender and Mr. David Gillen were elected as delegates. A resolution was adopted indorsing Mr. Wm. 8. Knox for appointment as District Commissioner. A resolution in favor of ap- pointing residents of the District only to positions under the municipal government was also adopted, and Congress was asked to provide that no person shall be eligible to such positions who has not resided in the District for a term of at least five years prior to appointment. = —o—__ Articles of incorporation of the Mount Pleasant Soncel, No. 18, Junior Order of American Mechanics, have been placed on THE WORLD oF SOCIETY.
