A NEW BUILDING FOR THE AGED.

The Little Sisters of the Poor Have
Given a Contract for New Struct-
ure.
A contract for large new building for
the Little Sisters of the Poor has been
let out The buildings, which were
planned by Architect Henry Urban, will
occupy the lots enclosed by Abercorn,
Lincoln, Sixth and Seventh streets, at the
south end of this city, and when COM
pleted the structures will be one of the
most prominent features in that section
of the town
The portion to be erected for the pres
ent comprises the eastern wing and the
central portion, and contemplated for en-
largement are western wing and
chapel building, which, all together, form
a symmetrical whole The portion to be
erected at present will accommodate 100
persons, besides the Sisters quarters, the
kitchen and the dining rooms. Ventila-
ton and all sanitary outfits will be of the
most improved character, and special
care will be taken to provide the old
folks with all the necessary sunlight and
the bracing southeastern breezes.
The new buildings are to be constructed
in the most substantial manner and
stone, brick and terra Gotta will form the
outside, while the roofs are covered with
slate. There will be a basement and
three stories above it, and a three-story
piazza between the wings over 100 feet
long and facing south, will enable the
feeble and sick to enjoy the open air,
The chapel building as contemplated
will be added in the future. There will
be, however, a temporary chapel pro-
vided on the first floor.
The cost of the part to be erected at
present viii be $40, OOO while the whole
complex structure, when completed will
run up the cost to $4,000. Winton & Bur
CESS, contractors and builders, were the
successful bidders on the work, and will
proceed at once to enable the sisters to
move in their new quarters by Oct. l, 1884.
The purpose of the new building is to take
care of the Old folks from all parts of the
state without any difference as to creed
or denomination, and this will enable the
modest workers of charity in charge of
the institution to reach the most distant
parts of the state with their good work,
which not only deserves appreciation, but
also the heartiest support of all good cit
liens.

Shopners Surnrised.

All last week our country visitors and
our alert city housewives elbowed each
other for desirable opportunities at the
remarkable slaughter sale of James
Douglass, 30 Barnard street. Money is
not at all plentiful these days, and prices
to draw must be meritorious indeed. and
Douglass seems to have hit the nail fairly
on the head. MIR. Douglass shows most
artistic lines of housekeeping goods,
stoves, ranges, crockery, imported wares,
cut glass, bisques, bronzes, vases, etc,
and the ladies will be delighted to learn
that last weeks very low prices will be
repeated this week, with additional cuts
where they will do the most good. Hand
some doll display is now on, too, at very
tempting prices-ad

SAUCE FOR THE GOOSE.
And Also for che Turkey, the Fish
and Numerous Other Dishes.

y
and Numerous Other Dishes.
The woman who spends as much time
preparing the proper garnishes and
sauces for her fish, fowl and meat as she
does in preparing them themselves is the
one whose husband will rise up and call
her blessed, and whose neighbors will in
sist that she has French cook concealed
on the premises.
Drawn butter is the most importan
sauce, and the groundwork of many
others. 1t is served usually with meat,
boiled fish or fowl It should be care
fully made by gradually mixing with two
teaspoons of flour and pinch of salt, a
teacup Of hot milk or water, stirred
constantly, and when it has boiled for a
minute or two, 1 * ounces of butter should
be gradually stirred in. It should then
be boiled for a minute.
Egg sauce for boiled fish is made by
ehopping very fine the Yolk of hard
boiled eggs, and adding to drawn but
ter. Minced parsley is also added to the
sauce for fowls and chopped pickles to
that for fish
Oyster sauce is used for boiled fish,
turkey, chicken and white meats. Stew
a pint of oysters in their own liquor, add
a teacup of milk and let this boil. Strain
the liquor off, return to the fire. thicken
flour and some cold water Stir we'll
add two tablespOonfuls OF butter, little
cayenne and a dash of lemon Juice. Stir

Maitre d'hotel sauce is suitable for al
most all roasts and boiled meats, and the
meats are best when purchased from the
city's caterer, Logan.-ad.

THE MOTION POSTPONED.
The Claim on Which Mr.. Herman and
Mrs. Joseph Base Their Petition.

The motion filed in the Epstein &
Waunbacher case by Messrs. Denmark
q Adams in behalf of Mr.. S. Herman
and Mrs. Joseph was called yesterday at
10 O'Clock in the superior court, and they
announced ready.
The otherside, on account of the engage
ments of one of its leading counsel, was
not ready, and asked that the motion be
postponed until next Saturday, and this
was done. Under the verdict and Judgment
rendered in the case, Mr.. Herman and
Mrs Joseph are entitled to the fund in
the hands of the receiver less his COM
pensatiOn. While a bill of exceptions
has been filed to the supreme court, no
supersedeas bond was given, and it seems
that the code provides that bill of ex-
ceptions shall not operate as a super
sedeas, unless bond be given, or a pau
per afidevit fled IN lieu of bond
The attorneys for Mr.. Herman and
Mrs. Joseph claim that, under the code
and the decisions of the supreme court,
the Judgment in favor of their clients is
payable in the absence of a supersedeas,
and that the cases where parties proceed
on Judgment that has not been super
seeded are not uncommon. The clients of
Messrs. Denmark & Adams instructed
them to assert their legal right to the
fund, and they are proceeding under these
instructions, and under their conception
OF the law. Should the money be paid,
and should the Judgment in their favor
be reversed, it is said by the attorney
that Mr.. Herman and Mrs. Joseph would
be under liability to return the money,
but, as they are both perfectly solvent
and responsible, there would be no risk
to the general creditors.

Last summer Frank Koesters, Mrs
Clara BOOSTERS, Mamie Koesters and

of the coroner, which eliminated in the
arrest of Annie E. Wagner, a domestic in
the employ of the BOOSTERS family.
LOVED THE FATHER.
The only motive'that could be assigned
for the deed was strange infatuation
which the girl had for Charles Koesters.
She determined to become his mistress,
and, it is alleged, poisoned the whole fam
lily in order that she might accomplish
| her purpose.
Charles BOOSTERS, the first witness, was
put on the stand to-day. he related the
story of the deaths and dwelt upon the
| actions of the girl toward him. She was
| always at his command, and would do
many things for him the performance Of

casion she displayed a desire to be in his
company.

inspector bulla' s ENFORCED Absence
Causes a Postponement.
The investigation of the charges against
Postmaster Doyle, made by Mr.. Henry
w. Greene, was adjourned last night
until Wednesday or Thursday, on account
of the forced absence of Inspector Bulla,
who was called away from the city last
night by a telegram, to attend to i'm
portaut business at another point.
During the two days in which the in
vestigation has been going on a number
of witnesses, summoned by Mr.
Greene, have been examined. Several
afidavits, some of them from
prominent citizens, have also been filed
by Mr.. Greene. The testimony and the
af1davits are all upon the line of effort to
show irregularities and partisan politics
in Mr. Doyle's management of the post
Office.
The investigation is of the star chamber
order and reporters are not admitted
The public is rigidly excluded and only
one witness, besides the prosecutor of
the charges, Mr.. Greene, and the in
spector, is allowed in the room at one
time.
Both Mr.. Greene and Mr.. Doyle have
stated their willingness. however, to
make known their evidence and this will
probably be done later. 1t will require
another day at least to complete the ex-
animation of Mr. Greene's witnesses. Mr..
Doyle will then begin the introduction OF
rebuttal testimony

LARGEST CARGO IN YEARS.
The Steamship Emir Sails With 12,
2O1 Bales Of Cotton.

2o1 Bales Of Cotton.
Messrs. Richardson & Barnard cleared
yesterday the steamship Emir for Liver
pool with 12,2O1 bales of cotton between
decks, constituting the largest cargo of
cotton ever taken from this port by
steamer or other craft under deck
This again demonstrates the unusual
facilities possessed by this port for the
reception at the wharves and delivery to
steamships of the cotton and other COM
modities received here for shipment
abroad, Only ten days were consumed
in loading this immense cargo, the work
commencing on the 9th, and the ship
will have been many hours at sea before
this article attracts the attention of the
reader. This is the steamer the crew of
which is composed mainly of Mohamme-
dams, and which has been boarded and
inspected by hundreds during the last
few days, attention being called to her by
an article in the News a few days ago.
