Notice of Final Discharge.
New York.—The relentless march
of progress, until recently sparing of
the older landmarks, which seemed se
cure In the remoter regions of Staten
Island, shortly will wipe out one of
the last remaining relics of Revolu
tionary days still standing within the
ilimits of the olty of New York.
The Black Horse tavern, at the In
tersection of Amboy and Richmond
roads, New Dorp, Staten Island, short
ly will be razed to make way for the
widening of Richmond road. Con
demnation proceedings will be started
soon and the building will he razed
when the maps are finished and the
contracts awarded by the borough of
Richmond.
The present owner of the faded and
rambling frame structure which
housed British officers during the
Revolution Is Mrs. Catherine C. Curry.
It became her property after the
death of her husband, Patrick Curry,
who went to Staten Island more titan
forty years ago and opened a public
house where more tban one not too
elderly resident can recall having
stopped to partake of the cup that
cheers. Since Volstead days the house
has been maintained as a private
dwelling.
Improvement Imperative.
Because the Intersection at which
the house stands has long been a
blind corner and a peril to motorists
the Improvement contemplated by the
city became Imperative. A triangular
slice of land, it will be cut Into two
pieces, one part being used to widen
Richmond road and the other to form
a small plaza.
The old tavern, portions of which
have been Incorporated Into the pres
ent building, has been celebrated In
many legendary stories of Staten
Island history. So legendary are
some of these stories that It has been
Impossible to verify them.
It was In the latter part of the
Revolution that Gen. William Howe,
commauder of the British forces In
the New York area, quartered some
of his staff officers in the Black
Horse. General Howe himself occu
pied a house across the road, known
as the Rose and Crown, and It was
here that on July 4. 1770, he read the
Declaration of Independence.
At that time, history tells us, he
remarked: “That document has been
signed by very determined men.”
The Rose and Crown long ago suf
fered the fate now destined for the
Black Horse.
The appearance of the place has
changed considerably since the days
of 76. Still standing are three of
the old rooms—the old tavern was a
very small place—which now are
utilised as living room, parlor and din
ing room. Additions have been built
from time to time, among them a
comparatively modern dance hull. The
original wooden sign, which bore the
tlgure of a black horse and which Is
now so weatherbeaten that only the
faintest of markings can he discerned,
Is In the possession of Mrs. Curry,
• who has refused to p^irt with It de
spite the pleas of a number of his
torical societies.
How It Got Its Name.
It is related that on the occasion of
a review of troops by Lord Richard
Howe, brother of General Howe, a
staff officer mounted his handsome
horse to escort his superior and that
the horse took fr^ht, dashing Itself
and its rider against a high rock and
killing both.
At that moment the house, hitherto
unnamed, was christened the Black
Horse by fellow officers who witnessed
the tragedy.
William T. Davis, Staten Island his
torian, recalled that for a short period
of years prior to the purchase of the
building by Patrick Curry It was used
as a post office, and residents of the
rural districts came from near and far
to receive their mail.
It Is told, without verification, that
MaJ. John Andre, the officer delegated
to assist In the treachery of Benedict
Arnold, stopped at the Black Horse
and executed his will there before
Change in Prices.
Simon Brown's Sons, of Blackville,
have made the following changes in
the prices for cucumber seed as ad
vertised elsewhere in this issue: 1 to
B lbs. at $1.15 per lb.; 5 to 25 lbs. at
$1.10 per lb.; 25 to 100 lbs. at $1,00
per lb.
Blackville Store Robbed.
Blackville, Feb. 22.—Monday right
thieves broke into the stores of J. C.
Hoffman and N. Rosenblam. Entrance
was effected in both cases by breaking
starting out on his mission.
jCuttis Family Slave
Will Lie in Arlington
Washington.—A place has been re
served for humble Jim Pa^ks In the
great Valhalla, where America’s dis
tinguished dead lie. Uncle Jim, an
«lgbty-four-year-old negro, will be
buried In Arlington National cemetery
when he dies. There he was born.
' No man, so the records show, out
side of the army and navy, has been
so honored in this day and genera
tion, The War department has en
tered a formal order that Uncle Jim
he buried In Arlington. His forebears
lie there, too.
Unde Jim's years sre upon him,
but he may be found almost any day
at his tasks In Arlington. He knew
the 1,100-acre reservation when It
was an ante-bellum plantation. He
was a slave here, the property of
George Washington Pgrke Oustls,
grandson of Martha Washington and
adopted son of George Washington.
Then he served Col. Robert E. Lee.
Age Tomb Found
Troyes, France.—A bronse Jo mb has
bees discovered near the village of
Barhoiase. It contalaed a woman's
with a ■ ember of funeral
Including three brooae brace-
pin and two armlets
the glass in the doors, the side door
of the former and the front door of
the latter. Holes were made large
enough for a pttrsjm to enter.
Mr. Hoffman is unable to estimate
his loss, as it was in groceries. Mr.
Rosenblam missed several pairs of
trousers, some shoes ard shirts. No
cash was taken from either store.
Town officials have discovered no
clue as to the identity of the rogues.
