J. H. McConnoll Resigns.
Today's Omaha Bee states that
J. H. McConnell has tendered his
resignation as superintendent of
motive power on the Union Pacific
to take effect on April 1st. He will
be succeeded by Snrnuel Iliggins,
who hab been holding a similar
position on the Lehigh Valley road,
This action on the part of Mr. Mc
Connell has been anticipated for
some time.
Mr. McConnell has been with the
Union Pacific's operating depart
ment thirty-three years, having
come west in 18G8. At that time,
or very soon thereafter, he was ap
pointed general foreman of the mo
tive power shops in Omaha, his
father, Robert McConnell, one of
the pioneers with the road, being
at that time master mechanic.
In 1872 Mr. McConnell was sent
to this citv as master meehnhte
where he remained until 1885, and
during his thirteen years' residence
he won and held the esteem of
every citizen and by his energy
materially assisted in promoting
the moral and business interests of
the road. He was then recalled to
Omaha to succeed his father as
master mechanic in that city. In
1886 he resigned and went into
business with A. L Strang, at the
same time being appointed chief
examiner of locomotives for the
rod.
That arrangement continued
until February 1, 1811, when Mr.
McConnell was appointed general
superintendent ot motive power
and machinery for the entire Union
Pacific, the position which he is
now leaving. It is stated by men
in close touch with the official
tanuly of the road that the re
lations between Mr, McConnell and
the other officers have been most
harmonious and that the work hat-
moved along very smoothly.
