A NEW APPOlN rMENT.
Timothy ]. Shehan, of Albert Lea, will Look
After the Indians at White Earth.

After the Indians at White Earth.
A Washington special to the GLoDE, an
nouncing the appointment by the presiden:
of Timothy ]. Shehau, of Albert Lea, as In
dian agent at White Earth and adjacent
reservations, occasoned no little surprise
among the ST. Paul friends of the gentleman
in question, and the appointment was re-
ceived on all hands with manifestations of
approval.
In the course Of a conversation with State
Senator Sc geant last night, who by the way
is an iniima freld and great personal ad-
mirer vi Mr. Shehan, the following sketch Of
his life was obtained:
Timothy ]. Shehan is about 4S years of
age and native of Warren county, New
York, having at an early age followed the
pursuit Of q contractor. He came west in
1856, taking up his home at Albert Lea In
/ this state where he followed farming.
At the outbreak OF the war he enlisted as a
! private, returning in short time 10 master
recruits and succeeding in forming Com
pany e Of the Fifth Minnesota, in which he
WAS assigned the position OF lieutenant. In a
| short time he became attached to Governor,
then Colonel, Hubbard's regiment, and at
the memorable defense OF Fl. Ridgely, which
was conducted successfully: he was promoted
to the rank of Northumberland for his un-
daunted bravery and gallantry. He served
throughout the rebellion and achieved an
enviable reputation as a soldier and an OIL
Ger, his record being second to none.
! After the close of the war he returned to
Albert Lea, where he was appointed deputy
sheriff of Frerborn county; this was in 1869.
| In 1871 he was elected sheriff of that county,
! being reelected for six terms in succession,
and serving in all twelve years. Recently
he has been engaged in private detective
work, In which pursuit he has been signally
successful, having only recently brought to
! justice the Costar bows, who were found
guilty of the att implied murder of Ole Jacob
son, and who were sentenced to twelve
| years each In the state penitentiary. Since
| his residence in Minnesota Mr.. Sheehan has
always been on the Republican side of pol
itics, and his services were recognized by
| Gov. Hubbard two years ago,
when the hitter rendered him the office OF
adjutant general of the state, position
which he declined. In the convention that
nOiniSited Gov Hubbard he made the speech
which seconded the nomination. As citi-
zen and man he is highly respected and
honored, and the appointment is regarded as
| first class.

Changes.

The Employees of the Street Railway Com
pany Agitated Over Rumored
Changes.
q From time to time within the past Few
weeks reports OF growing dissatisfaction
among the street car drivers and other EN-
ploves of the City Railway company have
been circulated, the cause Of trouble being
attributed to alleged Determinations on the
part Of the company in favor of Minneapolis
men and against those residing in st. Paul.
The rurnOrs have grown more formidable
daily. aad it was reported yesterday that ever
since the retirement OF Manager Littell the
company has been discharging competent
meu in order to make room for Minneapolis
substitutes secured by Supt. Scott
Several car drivers were seen together with
SUIT. Scott. the statements Of the former be-
ing guarded, but of such a character as to in
dictate that changes had been made and were
still anticipated.
sUPT. SCOTT SPEAKS.
In regard to the reported trouble, Mr.. Scott
said: 1T is true We have made q great

ALLAN STEAMSHIP CIRCULAR,

Discussing the Lo,o Ea'~~ Of'e ed by the
Pennsylvania Road, and lis outcome.
Special to the Globe.
CHICAGO, Feb l0.-The Allan Steamship
company has issued Il circular to agents,
which reads as follows:
The abnormally low emigrant railroad rate
from New York to the west, on the basis of
81 to Chicago, Offered only by the Pennsyl-
vania road, while emigrant rates by other
roads from there are on basis of So To chi
cago, has given rise To many misgivings and
the fears that of a large number of migrants
who will come at these rates many may have
10 suffer delays, incon venience and hard
shins for tue lack of proper facilities Ivy the
Pennsylvania TO accommodate and promptly
forward all that shall demand
transportation at the same time.
The statement ID made semi-otficialy that
the immigrant traffic promises TO overlook
the Pennsylvania railroad, all the other
roads having gone into combination To
throw the whole business TO that road. This
is done easily by their agreeing To keep up
the IS rate. II is predicted that by March
80, 900 rmigrants will arrive at Castle Gar
den for transportation 10 the west II will
require about ten trains of cars to carry that
nunbet,. which would not only overtax the
tracks Of the PENNSYLVANIA railroad, but
would require at least 500 additional cars Ia
keep up the service over the long haul. The
road has not over fifty of this number and it
is argued thnt the policy OF the Pennsylvania
in cutting 10 81, aud the decision of the
other roads To combine against it, will throw
business In It's hands at large loss, and
will swamp its carrying capacity.
We are in hopes that an agreement be-
tween all trunk lines from New York will be
arrived at shortly, by which uniform railroad
rates from there, on basis OF So or SO, to
Chicago will be established, when We shall
again be on equal footing.
