W ILSON, Brooklyn, New York. HON. D. NEWLIN FELL. Republican Candidate for Judge of the Su. preme Court. Hon. David Newlin Fell. of Philadel- phia, the candidate of the Republican party for Judge of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvanian, was born November 4th, 1840, in Buckingham, Bucks county, Pennsylvania, where his ancestors set- tled in 1704. He belongs to the Sixth generation of the family, members of which still live there. He was educated under the direction of his father, Joseph Fell. who a distinguished teacher and superintendent of the schools of the county, who, for fifty years, was actively connected with and did much to advance the educational interests of the state. It was with pardonable pride and jealous care that he assisted and guided his son in laying the foundation for and building up a broad and deep mental and moral education. Upon the completion of his studies, Judge Fell was graduated at the State Normal School, at Millers- ville, Pennsylvania, in the class of ’62. At that time the Union suffering terrible losses in the Peninsula and other disastrous campaigns, and the clouds which so often hung dark and threatening during those three years of awful strife were lowering from day to was and armies were day. The holiday aspect of the war had long since passed. The many defeats which had overtaken the Union army gave fair warning to those about to en- list that the war was a stern and awful reality. As soldiers they would be called upon to endure hardship and suffer pri- vation in all its forms and possibly meet death face to face. Their mission was not merely to march gaily to and fro, out of the reach of harm, and returning after a short enlistment, to receive the praise and honors showered upon some of those who had sprung to their fense. country’s de- It was at this time, with the wounded constantiy returning, and with mourn- ing on every side for those who would return no more, that Judge Fell, in the strength of his early- manhood, started for the front. With a full realization of the brilliant prospects of success which his education and talents would secure for him at home, he enlisted in Company E, 122nd Regiment, Pennsyl- vania Volunteers. This command was recruited largely from students of the State Normal School. The sterling qual- ities of mind and heart which have since been so freely recognized by his fellow citizens, even at that early day, caused his student associates to elect him Lieu- tenant of the Company. Four days after being mustered into service, this com- mand was at the front and assigned to the 3rd Brigade, 3rd Division, 3rd Corps, then under command of General Stone- man, and later commanded by General Sickles. The most disastrous campaign in which the Regiment took part was that of Chan- cellorsville, where 135 of its gallant men went down on the field of battle. The college chums and comrades of David Newlin Fell, who went through the or- deal of war with him, testity to his cool- ness and bravery, his modesty and un- flinching courage, and with it all, his generous brotherly care for the comfort of every one of his command. Mustered out after the expiration of his term of service, he again went to his books and studies, and devoted himself assiduously to the science of the law. Again we find him with a preceptor who had a keen in- terest in his success—his brother. Wil- liam W. Fell. Passing successfully and brilliantly the examination, he was ad- mitted to the Bar, March 17th, 1866, where he soon acquired an extensive and Iacrative practice. His neighbors, early recognizing his abilities, elected him to represent the 20th Ward of Philadelphia in Citv Coun- cils. The ready grasp and comprehen- sive knowledge of the details of city gov- ernment which he here acquired and dis- played, suggested his availability for membership on the Municipal Commis- sion, created by legislative enactment to devise plans forthe government of the cities of the Commonwealth, and which he served with distinguished abili- ty. While still a young man, his legal attainments and sterling qualities of character were recognized hy Govern- or [Tartranft, who appointed him, on Mav 3rd. 1877, Judge of the Court of Common Pleas No. 2, to fill the vacancy occasioned by the death of Judge Pratt. In the following November, as the sole nominee of both the Republican and Democratic parties, he was elected to the same position for the full term of en vears. When this expired in 1887, he was again honored with the doublé nom- ination and a unanimous election. But all the civic honors which have been bestowed upon Judge Fell have nev- er made him unmindful of his old com- “the bovs in ” Dur ing more than a quarter of a century he has been an active and enthusiastic mem- ber of Post 2 of the Grand Army of the Republic. In addition to his services in Post, he has brought his splendid attain- ments to the positions of Senior Vice De- partment Commander and Judge Advo- cate General of the Grand Army of the Republic Department of Pennsylvania. [le has a large circle of acquaintances and friends among the war veterans of the Keystone state. Such, in brief, has been the career of a brave and valiant soldier. an upright and public spirited citizen, and a learned and able Judge. This sketch may well conclude with a tribute paid him by the Hon. George S. Graham, of Philadelphia, upon placing Judge Fell in nomination for the Supreme bench when he said: “His record in every place of public trust is full of honor and will bear the closest scrutiny. He always acquitted himself well, and won the encomiums of the people. Upon the bench he has cre- ated for himself an enviable name. No man is more highly honored and thor- oughly beloved among all the judges of our countv courts, upon ripe rades in arms, blue. His learning, his abil- have made and his unswerving adherence to right, fearlessness in the discharge of duty, unfailing courtesy, manliness and modesty, have made him a model Judge, and endeared him to our bar and to our citizens generally.” ity, his clear judicial mind, him a valued jurist, TOPICS find COMMENT.
