Claims to Have Been Kept in Retreat
 When Not Insane.
 Waterbury, June 25.-Michael Lyons of this city has retained counsel with a view to instituting legal proceedings against the superintendent of the Unit ed States hospital for the insane at Washington D. C., to recover damages for alleged false Imprisonment. A lit tie over six months ago Lyons enlisted in the marine corps. Shortly afterward he became insane and was committed to the United States hospital for the insane. In the spring of 1S90 after be- ing in that institution for about six months, he was formally discharged from the marine corps. He was detain- ed at the hospital until November of last year, when he escaped. He has been in Waterbury since that time and has not, it is alleged, exhibited any symptoms of insanity. He has now re- tained a local attorney to find out by what authority he was detained at the hospital after being discharged from the marine corps, and to ascertain whether he has a sufficient basis for aCClOn against the SupeIintenueHL IO recover damages for alleged false inn prisonment for five years.
 Lyons attorney has communicated with Congressman Sperry of New Ha- ven, who, with the assistance of the secretary of the navy, has made thor ough inquiry into the facts of the case. The case all hinges on the time when Lyons recovered his reason. He alleges that he can produce evidence to estab- fish the claim that he has not been in- sane since 1890.

The Venezuelan Rnundary

London, Feb. 6.-The Times prints a long letter from Clements Robert Mark ham, c. B., F. R. S., r. S. A., president of the Royal Geological society, giving minute details bearing upon the vene- zuelan-British Guiana boundary aues- ton gathered from maps of the disputed territory. MT. Markham contends, from the evidence thus gathered, that Spain had no claim to any part of British Guiana, and that, therefore, Venezuela inherits none, and that even if the ter ritory in dispute shall be adjudged not to belong to Great Britain, it in no wise follows that it does belong to vene- zuela.
 The Times, commenting on the let ter, contends that, in view of this evil dence, it is a large and generous con- cession on the part of Great Britain to be willing to submit to arbitra tion the ownership of all the unsettled territory, discarding the Schomburgk line. The Times complains that, although there is a distinct improvement in the atti- tude of the United States since the representa- ton of President Cleveiand's message to congress, no advance has been made by the american govern ment to meet Great Britain half way

The Fl Paso Fights.

El Paso, Tex, Feb. 6,-When the news sentatiyes had taken hand in the SUD- pression of prize fighting, and passed a bill making it felony in the territo- ries, gossip became rife concerning the great carnival which is scheduled to take place here in the next two weeks. Dan Stuart, when asked what effect the bill would have upon his carnival if it became law, said: None in the least. The English parliament may pass similar bill tomorrow, and still the carnival will go ahead as advertis- ed."
 John J. Look of the firm of Look & Taylor, who gave MT. Stuart advice upon which the preparations have been made, was seen, and MT. Stuart's state ment was confirmed. If these most interested were disconcerted oyer the news, they concealed their feelings.
 MT. Look Is in Chihuahua, and re- ports from there are said to be of a character to make the sports feel safe.
 On the other hand, the Ministers union and others opposing the fights are confident that the legislation of yes terday, if it becomes law, ruins the last say they have positive assurances that Governor Ahmunda will not, under any circumstances, allow the fight in his state, and that the doubtful strip" talked of is ridiculous.

 The Waltham bicycle track has not been injured by the winters frosts, the methalitic surface retaining all its good qualities. The work of preparing for the coming season will be started the moment the frost is out of the ground. Several changes are in contemplation, the most important of which is the laying of methalitic on the back stretch, in place of the gravel surface which has been used in years past. Several appli- cations for dates have already been re- ceived from managers of racing teams, and the season of '96 promises to be a busy one for the Waltham track.

Deed for Bridge Missing.

Bridgeport, Feb. 6.-County Commis- sioner Mead went to Strasford to-day to search for the deed conveying Wash ington bridge to the counties of New Haven and Fairfield. When the towns transferred their interest in the bridge to the counties, the deeds were drawn for record, but they cannot be found in the town clerks office here or in Mil ford. The other town interested at that time in joint ownership of the bridge was Stratford. If the deed can not be found there, mystery will be created.
 MT. Mead said this afternoon that thorough search of Stratfords records showed that the deed was not on record there, and he was somewhat inclined to doubt that the deed had ever been drawn as stated.
