ceding year. but the property owners re-
fused TO advance the money and the pro-
ject had beed abandoned. The board ex-

THE STATE FAIR.
Minneapolis Charged With n Re-
senfgul SEgOfry.

A dispatch in yesterdays Chicago Tribune
from the pen of a Minneapolis correspond
ent is evidently the reflex of his own mar
rOw-mindedneSs. He says the coming state
fair is receiving the persistent cold shoulder
of Minneapolis, and will, therefore, be Il
lamentable failure. The dispatch adds:
It has beennoticed that Minneapolis has been
wonderfully silent regarding the coming ex-
hibitiOn. It has been treated as dstinc-
lively st. Paul affair. The papers of Mime
apOliS have no mention of the progress of the
fair. buildings or fitting of the grounds, while
those Of st. Paul frequently refer TO them.
1t is now said that the Fair association officials
have won the ill-will of state papers generally
10y refusing to advertise. while III divers other
ways they have provoked q GOODNESS among the
people to whom they looked for patronage

taking immensely"
1t required but little inquiry last night on
the part of GLOBE reporters to ascertain
that business men of Minneapolis are neither
SO bigOted as the above would suggest nor
are they actuatcd by motives SO altogether
unworthy. The statement that Col. King
is moving in the direction of fair for Min
neapOliS is also given a fiat denial. A gen
tleman connected with former fairs said:
''All idea OF holding a separate fair this
year was formally abandoned early in the
spring. 1t would not only be impossible at
this late hour to inaugurate a successful
fair movement. but such an idea is entirely
beneath the people of Minneapolis. We
may not ever forget the way Minneapolis
was treated. but we will never resort to
such piece of qualification as
that Col. King has his hands
quite full just now, and while no man could
go beyond him in zeal where the welfare of
Minneapolis made demand on his loyalty.
he has too much good sense to think of
fair this year. l can go further and say l

bers and retailers. besides manufacturers,
who will have exhibits at the fair. and.

About two weeks ago Chief West re-

United States consul at Montreal, asking
ifThOmaS Moran Is wanted in this CITY for
the murder Of Jack Shepard. The chief
knew nothing about the murder of Jack
Shepard. and hence had no knowledge of
the supposed demand for Moran. Yester-
day a letter was received from the same
source, explaining that Thomas Moran had
depOsed and said that he had been accused
of the murder Of Jack Shepard in
O. HOlbran'S saloon in Minneapolis
about September, 1854. but that
he was innocent and that he
is now anxious to return to this city to
vindicate his innocence. He states further
more that he has been followed from place
TO place by detectives. and that he has been
compelled TO resign every position he has
secured since. He acknowledges that he
was present when the murder was commit
