NEW LOCATION FOR THE DEPOT.
The Union Railway Company Negotiating for
the Purchase of the State Fair Grounds.

There have been negotiations pending for
some time between the Union Railway Com
pany and the State Board of Agriculture rea-
tive to the sale of the State fair grounds to the
company for possible site for the new Union
Depot The matter was kept quiet until
yesterday, when 1t was learned that
the trade would likely be made When
the Union company was seeking the franchises
of the city. it obtained an option on the Fair
grounds as being the best depot site available
The downtown privileges demanded being
granted to the company. il had no further use
for the Fairgrounds as location, and negotia-
tons were dropped 1t had been arranged that
cable lines should connect the grounds with the
business portion of the city. Mr.. Malott saws
that the old site has been chosen for the
new depot, and while the plans are adjustable to
either location there is no intention of moving
the depot from South Illinois street.
The State Board of Agriculture is exceedingly
anxious to dispose of the fair grounds, which
comprise thirty-fv acres, and to select new
location, for many reasons 1t is claimed that
the present grounds are too far removed from
the city aud railroads to accommodate large
crowds and large consignments of goods, which
are broue ht for exhibits. The company is $780,
600 in debt. and it is thought that by selling tho
grounds they can liquidate tie indebtedness, So
lect grounds more accessible and have money
