Receipts from Liquor Licenses This
 Year Compared with Last

Eight new applications for liquor licenses were granted by the county commissioners yesterday. Though the great majority of business has been done for the year which began in November, still the opening of sea shore hotels and other summer resorts will boom the license business for several weeks. Up to date this year the commissioners have granted AS licenses outside of New Haven, about the same number as last year, and 36s in this city, which is just 50 less than were taken last year. For this they have received $217, 7,163. For the entire period last year but $175,072 was received. The receipts this year, with six months business yet to be done, amount to $42, ,091 more than last. The commissioners take in about S4, 900 more this year for licenses. As was expected raising the price of licenses in this city has decreased the number of saloons about 90, and increased the revenues nearly $50,- 900. The commissioners are now consider ing whether to raise the license next year $100 or $200. It is quite probable that licenses will cost half thousand in 1890, and sure they will be as much as SAl0

Work on the New Webster School
 Building To Begin About July Ist.
 At the end of the spring term the work of tearing down the present Webster school building to give place to the new one that is to be erected will begin. The term will end one week earlier than usual, and the work will begin the last of June.
 The plan is for three story building of twelve rooms. This new building will prob ably be ready for the spring term of 1889. Roms in the district will be rented for echool purposes until the new building is complet- ed. The contracts will be given to New Ha- ven builders. Superintendent Dutton and Messrs. Strong and Zunder of the board of education called on Mayor York and City Auditor Lake yesterday to receive if possi- ble the State House for the temporary use of the children of the district. This depends on whether the committee decide that suita- ble repairs can be made for the $30,000 ap- propriated, and, if so, the work will begin very soon.
 There has been some talk of the board of education renting the shop formerly used by Newman & Co..in Park street, just north of West Chapel, for the children cf the Web ster school

Mrs. Elizabeth Mary Mitchell, mother of
 ex-Congressmau Charles L. Mitchell, died at her residence on Wooster street early yester- day morning of heart disease. She had
 been around the previous day as usual and spent the day at the family shore house on the East Haven heights. She retired early in the evening and was awakened early yes terday morning by violent pains in the re- zion of the heart.

SAN DIEGO, Sal, April 7.-Reports of
rich gold discovery in Lower California have
created much excitement in this city, and pros
pecting parties have been fitted out and gone
TO the scene. 4 number Of experts have been
in the Lower California gold fields, and have
brought back TO the their employer quiet re-
ports of rich discoveries. I'm expert who has
been in the San Rafael valley, states that in
travelling over the Sierra AIadrc mountains he
discovered a tract thirty miles long and TWEEN
~ miles wide which formed one large body of
mineral ground. There are hundreds of veins,
he says, averaging from three 10 thirty feet in
width, principally composed of free gold in
white quartz, which he has worked aud assayed
from three hundred To twenty-five hundred dol
lars per ton. The placer grounds around
are reported to cover thousands of acres and
are said 10 be rich in gold dust and nuggets
The mountains contain several natural reserv-
Oirs aud several streams OF water which have
fall of from fifteen hundred to twenty-five hun
dred feet, making the locality available for
hydraulic mining. Other discoveries have
been made besides the one alluded 10, and in
every case the water supply is reported 10 be
good and all the conditions favorable for extern
Sivc mining operations.

The detective exhibited picture of man who

does not resemble Sexton in the least.
Sexton was given permission TO sleep in the
