given above 1t also established the fact That

those he wrought for still echo round his bed.
After Robert Richard Randslls death heirs TO
his fortune sprang up everywhere. and u was not
until 1881 that the last of the suits brought
to break Captain Randall's will was finally de-
cided in favor Of the proponents and the erection
Of Sailors Snug Harbor on Its present site was
begun.
The last contestants Of the will were the heirs
Of Bishop Ingalls, Episcopal Bishop Of Nova SEQ
tia. and Daniel Webster was their lawyer. II
was while trying one Of the cases contesting the
will of Captain Robert Richard Randall that

did for both the senior and junior Captains nan
dali were men of mark and prominence in those
days. it is beyond the range OF possibility 'ia'
Alexander Hamilton should have asked hlm thc
Questions attributed to him in the legend, ana
that CAPTAIN Randall should have replied as he
is said to have done.
Here was man of wealth and prominence

in commercial life. and yet, eighty-three years
af,er his death, when they came TO erect bronze

Uarbor. distorted legend and fiction were all that
,,os loft Of his memory, and the sculptor did not
d,re to model his bronze image in the garb OF a
co, cantain nor to carve the word captain on the
Granite pedestal. Even the place of his burial
was in doubt and though there is monumen,
in front of the main building of the larbor, With
an inscription on it stating that the bones of koo-
art Richard Randall repose beneath, few people
believed it,
New-York tribune., 1890-06-29

The long litigation being over and the present
site Of the Harbor on Staten Island being selected
by the trustees, the work of erecting suitable
buildings was rapidly pushed and in 1883 the
institution was opened. In Ihis will Robert
Richard Ramsdell directed that the Institution
should be opened whenever the income from his
estate should be sufficient 10 support nifty indi-
gent seamen. To-day 500 sailors all the storms
Of life over, await in this snug harbor the sum
mons to sail upon an unknown sea. The old
Mimic Farm, for such the name of Captain
Randalrs estate in Broadway, is now covered
thick with great buildings and crossed by busy
city streets, and the income Of millions Of prop
erty is devoted TO the home for worn-out sailors.
MEMORIALS OF THE FARMER
The buildings on the north shore Of Staten
New-York tribune., 1890-06-29

The Harbor was founded by Robert Richard
Randall who died in 1901. leaving his farm OF
twenty-one acres and the fine house upon II To
establish the institution. The house. great
and fine one for those days, stood between Broad
way and Fourth-ave. at about where Eghth-st
now is Around it lay the lands he bequeathed
1t has often been said and written that Captain
Randall bequeathed an inconsiderabe estate 10
the Harbor and had no idea of the great value
which would ultimately attach to it. AS mat
Ter of fact. the records show that when he bought
the property he paid $50 900 for it and few wears
after his death the income from it was $4,000
a year.
STORY ABOUT THE BEoUESr.
Another story which has been often repeated
and so often written that it has come 10 have
almost the face of authentic history is the story
OF how he came to make the beQucst. The story
Is as follows Robert Richard Kendall was the son
of a priyatecr, who made fortune In The RevOlu-
tionary War, and used TO take his prizes into
New Orleans, where at the close of his career
the ocean he settled down and died, leaving his
property to .is son. This son, Robert Richard, ey
changed his property IN New-Orleans for the New
York farm on which he died On Lis death bed
he called in Alexander Hamilton TO draw up his
will. After making few bequests. he stopped
and said that he was at loss what to with the
rest Of his property.

This is the commonly accepted story of the

story, but it is not true. There are so many

The facts are these: Robert Richard Randall
was the son Of Thomas Randall, a wealthy mer-
chant Of New-York He had been a privatecr
in his time and had fitted out ships for privateer-
ing, and had accumulated fortune considerable
for those days. He was one Of the founders of

tain to receive the nomination. IfC. E.
Keller should refuse OF fail to get the
nomination for county auditor he will
be put up as representative of that
ward. Failing him, q. w. Zollman.
III. l.. Williams was the choice of the
Third ward delegates for representa-
tive.
The only preference publicly ac-
knowledged by the Fovrth ward dele
CATION was that they would vote solidly
for Fred q. lngersoll for chairman Of
to-day's county convention.
The county ticket of the First district
of the Fifth ward was headed by Col.
A. r. Kiefer, the defeated candidate
for the mayoralty last spring, which
called skid" element is in the ascend
ancy in that ward. The legislative
delegates elected in the three districts
are all pledged to George N. Warren,
and he will undoubtedly receive the
nomination at the convention this after
noon. All the delegates denied any in
tention of voting for John FL. Ives, as
reported in twilight sheet.
Sixth ward delegates seemed some
what at sea. They did not know what
to say when requested to name their
candidate for the legislature. c. H.
Lienau will probably be Endorsed by the
senate, and Deering for the house.
They acknowledged that, up TO last
evening, no one was forthcoming
strong enough to defeat either of these
men.
W.B. Dean for the senate and Lane K.
Stone for the house are certain of the
support of the Seventh ward delegates.
Among the Eighth ward delegates
there was a disposition to favor Fred g.
Ingersoll for the senate. If IngerSoll
refuses the nomination, as he has de-
clared he would, W. B. Dean will then
be supported. The delegation is divided
over Fred Neuru and A. l.. Larpentuer
for the house.
The Ninth ward is unit for Fl. F.
Stevens as senator. Theodore Menk
has the pull for representative.
f. c. Stevens, as representative, Is
the choice of the Hamlihe and st. An
thony Park delegates. One of the dele
gates voices the delegation in oppOsi-
ton to the citizens COMMITTEES. 1t was
Delegate Moline. He said: "We are too
good Republicans to indorse the whole
of that ticket"
AS stated, the delegates did not take
any decided stand upon the disposition
of county offices. They will largely be
led by the feeling in the convention this
morning.
To-day's convention, like THAT of the
Democrats, will indorse portion of the
Citizens ticket. particularly the Sena-
tors nominated, but in the case of the
representatives other candidates will
be put up.

A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY.

Differences Among Local Dealers
in Coal-Reduction in Price.
"A war among the shippers of coal has
been temporarily ayerted by mere
scratch. If it had commenced, as was
apparent last week, it would have been
of gigantic proportions. and would have
been to the knife, and the knife to the
hilt," remarked a man familiar with the
situation yesterday. There had been
no organization of the wholesale deal
erS, or the shippers. as they call
themselves, this season. Neither had
the retailers united in an association
since last year. Every concern, whether
shipper OF retailer, had started in
upon the season with free-lance, go
easy gait, in handling fuel. The re-
tailers, of course, are backed by the
shippers, and the war, If begun, would
have been conducted by the shippers
Creek company is a new concern, ande
is seeking to build up trade. 1t CONS
menced to cut in prices, through its
representative retailers. This fact came
to the knowledge of the other shippers.
They held conference. or rather sev1
eral OF them did, at which 1t was deter
mined to make a cut to meet the
Silver Creek company, and, if necessary.
go one IpOint better by dropping down
to $3.50 for ton of coal. All arrange
ments were made for putting that price
into effect. One retailer went so far as
to have 1900 large posters printed, an
nouncing that coal would be sold at the
reduced price named. A final council
of the shippers was held on Saturday
euening, at which all the firms in the
city were represented, including the
Silver Creek company. 1t was decided
at 6 o'clock that evening to declare the
war off and all to stand, together and
sell at one price. 1t was also de-
cided to call meeting of the
retail dealers and have them organize
and fix uniform scale for coal. Such
meeting was held on Monday evening.
1t was agreed to make general cut
from old prices to S6.75 per ton, the
price to 60 into effect at once and to
stand for the present week. AS re-
suit coal will be sold for 1878 per ton
for this week. Another meeting will be
held the last of the month-probably on
Saturday-when it will be determined
what price will prevail after that date.
A representative of one of the shippers
last evening remarked: sit is likely
that after this week coal will go back to
the old price of $7s25 and $3.50 per ton"
