QUEER EXCISE CASES.
RECORDER SGOFF ADJOURNS TWO FOR
INVESTIGATION.


Two women were called before Recorder Con, in
Part I. General Sessions. to plead 10 indictments
for violation Of the Liquor tax law There were
some queer features about the cases that caused
the Recorder to instruct the lawyers to make an
investigation and report to him.
Mary Williamson kept n small oyster saloon In
West Thrd-st. She was arrested two weeks ago
by Policeman McMullin of the Fourteenth Precinct
He TO the oyster saloon and ordered fry
When II was brought to him he asked for some
beer. The defendant said she did not sell beer
McMun got a and sent boy over to a
saloon for a pint Of beer. The defendant brought
him a glass. and he drank the beer and then ar
rested her Her lawyer told the Recorder that she
had violated 10 law. and yet she had been in
prison for two weeks. and was likely to lose her
small business lie asked for speedy trial, so that
she could be liberated. The Recorder set tomor-
row as the day of trial.

These mistakes on the part OF the police are
probably due 20 the uncertainty In the operation

al the southwest corner of Forty-fourth-st and
Fifth-ave.. and in September. 1897. would open

that now controlled by him at Thirty-seventh-st.
and Fifth-ave.
The site for Sherry's is diagonay opposite
the Sherwood House to replace which Theodore y.
Havemeyer has made a contract with Charles G.
Demonico to erect seven-story building for Del
monico's
The bulk Of the property where the new building
for Mr. Sherrys Is to be erected is owned by Isaac
V. Brokaw. Mr.. Brokaw declined to say anything
about the ratter yesterday. Mr.. Sherry, however.
gave the following details of the arrangement:
"A new building. seven stories high, is 20 he erected
upon the site The dimensions OF the property are
100 feet in Fifh-avc by 200 feet in Forty fourth-st.
part Of the property in Fory-fourth-st.. now
used as stable. belongs to the W. II. Lee estate.
1t was only this afternoon that the Anal arrange
ments were made whereby that property could be
included in the plan. This arrangement will make
It possible fer symmetrical building TO be erected.
THE plans for the building In the hands
OF McKim. Mead White. They are immature an
yet. However. have already decided that the
building will be Of limestone and white BRICK. and
will be sories high. Its height Will he l35

Fortyfourth-st., being the main entrance. and
grand staircase will lead from the street. The
upper floors will be used for bachelors apartments.
and the entrance to these will be from Fifh-ave.
Mr. Brokaw Will construct the building regardless
of expense, so that what II Will cost cannot be esti-
mated at present
Mr. Sherry's lease of the property is for twenty
years, at an annual rental Of $4,000 1t is re-
building. which II is said viii cost $1,000 This
would make another sum OF $1,000. or a total OF
$4,000 Mr.. Sherry declared Yesterday that this
total estimate altogether too high.
Mr.. Sherry directed attention 10 one point In par
ticular, and that was the height between floor and
ceilings which the new building would present. on

second floor is feet and "a feet on the other floors
