NEW CASTLE. Dec 13 The matter Of
renting the Bayard and Union farms at
Hares Corner, for the ensuing year, was
the cause Of lively time at the Trus
tees Of the New Castle Common meeting
,ast night
Ever since the occupant Of the Penn
farm decsmped owing about $500 for
rent and leaving nothing that could be
attached for the amount, the board Is
realized that more care should be eXer-
cised in selecting tenants. So when the
several applications We're received for
the Bayard and Union farms 40 the last
regular meeting the matter was post
p0ned until last night TO enable the
board TO determine if the securities
offered by would be tenants were worth
less or good.
Mr.. Fagan, the present tenant, Is
nearly 80 600 Ia arrears in his rent and
this fact made bis chances appear rather
small William Qnigley, the other ap
plicant on the other hand, claimed 60 be
able 90 furnish security aud TO be able 90
nav bis rent in advance If necessary.
lie would pay IT. monthly ia advance or
annually in advance If desired.
Mr.. Rodney, of the investigating com
miitee appointed last week stated that
Thomas Pagan. father of the present
tenant. had In q bond already executed
promising to be his sons security for the
rent up 10 1898. and 20 begin at once 60
pay his indebtedness 10 payments of 5000
every three months.
Am this WAS ON the condition that his
son got the farm for next year.
George W. Gray hen spoke for Mr..
Qnigley. saying that he was worthy
young man, and naming himself as his
security, but repeating that Mr. Quigley
needed none as ne was able TO pay in ad.
vance
The board then requested that the ap'
plicants retire until the matter was dis
cussed The matter then was seen 90 lie
between mr. Pagan proposition by which
the back rent was tH be secured. and Mr.
Qmgley. who gave abundant evidence of
security aud promised 90 make an excel
leni tenant
10 was then contended that 30 was

the strength of that be board by a rising
vote, awarded it TO Pagan

BosroN. Feb 25.-Thomas 4. Proctor,
who was reported ~ being 1t the head Of
the big sole leather combination, said
today:
No such combination ID in contemplation and
have NO knowledge OF the matter The story
probably sprang from the simple fact that . few
New York and Boston leather men met for the
purpose OF talking over the advisability Of
bringing about unity Of ectton among the trade
In regard to the tanneries and similar matters,
but whether or not anything 10 to come Of 1t in
the shaps of . combination OK control 10 more
than know.
BosroS. Feb. pa local paper says:
The sensation of the day in the shoe and
leather trade is the news Of an agreement
and combination between the Boston and
New York leather firms, representing =
capital of $45. .0O0. 600. with q view to con-
trolling the output of the tanneries under
their control. and consequently fixing the
price of sole leather. Arrangements have
been going on quietly for some time, and
even now have not been fully perfected,
though there have been pledged agree
ments made among the parties to The com.
bination. 1t is known that the head of
the movement is Thomas E. Proctor, of
Boston, whsnhas been most active in form
ing the organization. II is said that some
ninety firms are in the agreement.
