LIQUOR LICENSE MONEY.

 an Interesting Report.

Couuty ComnI-sIoner Lindiey CompilIng z
 an Interesting Report.
 The commissioners of New Haven county will soon submit to State Treasurer Sanger a schedule of the liquor license statistics of this county for the year begin ming July l. 1893 and ending July l. 1>94. The statistics will be of special in- terest as the number of licenses this year has certainly exceeded that of last year and also because the New Haven pension fund for firemen will receive its first per centage from the license moneys.
 The latter move will be in compliance with the new law which. however. will benefit but very few of the towns in the county. This is owing to the fact that very few of the country towns have paid fire departments. either in whole or in part.
 Commissioner Lindley is compiling the report for the state treasurer. He has noi yet completed hIs work. but has advanced far enough to discover that the license money this year will be especially large.

LETTERS FROM THEPEoPLE
The O'Connell Rovers Had to Shift For
 Themselves in Brooklyn.


 The o'conneu Rovers Had to shift For
 Themselves in Brooklyn. Editor of the DEMOCRAT:
 An accurate account of our reception and meeting the champions on Sunday last, will I dare say, be interesting to our friends and the admirers of hurling in this city So far as the treatment we received from the committee that met us we have nothing very hard to say; but it was not what it should be. After conducting us to their rooms, which we left at eleven o'clock Saturday evening. we went to the hotel where they Wolf Tones) informed us they had secured accommodation for our mon. When we got there we were told they could accommodate only eight or nine. The result was we left the place and com menced to shift for ourselves. Some of the men secured other quarters, while the majority of them patroled the streets all night and in the morning hied their way to the scene of play and slept under the grand stand until they were called on the field.
 Another thing. We journeyed to Brook lyn to play the champions. and them alone. whereas they had some of the picked men of other teams. That cannot | @ denied, for some old Water barians drew our attention to it. We objected and had one of them thrown out. In the toss for choice they won. playing with the hollow, which at the outset had dampen- ing effect on the spirits of our men. who considered themselves heavily handi- capped already.
 In meeting the Wolf Tones we feel satis- fled We have met the best hurlers in the country. On the whole we have no reason to be ashamed of the result. when we take into consideration ours was the handi- capped team.
 In the near future we may have an op- portunity of meeting them in Waterbury. when, under more favorable circumstances we may do better. If we do not beat them. we hope 10 equalize the score.
