MRS. n. Il. HelmbOld Brings Suit
Against Kelly's Paper for
100000.

New York, July 22.-Dog day lit.
erature is eDlivened to-day by new
phase Of the famous scandal touching
James Gordon Bennett. with which
John Kelly's paper, the Express, bonn
barded the town during the election
last fall. The gist OF the charges we're
that Mr. Bennett had entrapped va
riOus females; that Mrs. Helmbold
among others was the victim of his
eallantry thathe had resorted to many
and extraordinary devices to decoy his
victims, and in substantiation various
alleged afidavits were produced. Con.
cerning the affair, which will probably
be revived in detail, suit has been
brought against the Express by Mrs.
Helmbold, and the editor of the paper
says, in explanation of the suit and its
origin: "The controversy was the
means of increasing our daily mails
with hundred of letters from citizers
residing in this city and elsewhere,
containing information regarding this
young man. The writers furnished
their own names, as guarantee Of good
faith. Some of these articles, though
known to the editor of the Express to
be true, were never printed, because
the details we're Of such a character as
to shock the nerves of respectable
people. Among other things. howev.
er, which were printed at that time
was an interview with the we'll known
DR.. Helmbold, of Philadelphia, in
which that gentleman unreservedly
told the history Of his wrongs, in which
he asserted that Bennett had destroy
ed the peacelulness of his home and
had concOcted schemes which caused
his incarceration in insane asylums.
That interview was concluded by DIR
Helmbold, who is now a perfect wreck
solemnly charging B nnett with being
responsible for his series of nlislor
tunes. Bennett never personally de-
MED the charges of DR.. Helmbold, but
shortly afterwards scampered off to
Europe. To morrow he is expected
to arrive in this city, and simultaneous
with that announcement comes the
following What follows is a sum
mons from Mrs Helmbold's attorney
in the suit Of Henrietta D. Helmbold,
plaintiff, against the New York Tx
press Company, defendants, in the
Supreme Court of New York, with the
notice that upon your default to ap-
pear or answer the above summons,
judgement will be taken against you
for one hundred thousand dollars,
with costs of this action"

BY CABLE.

LONDON, July 27.-ln the House
of Commons last night, on considera.
tion of the clause of the Land Bill
empowering a court to fix fair rents,
Lord Edmund Fitzmaurice (Liberal)
moved an amendment con6ning the
benefit of the clause to tenancies val
ued under one hundred pounds. In
support of this clause, which, he said
would only exclude $4,000 tenants, he
urged the expectancy Of not making
this exceptional legislation broader
than necessary, and quoted the author
ity of Lord Carlingford, twice Chief
Secretary for ireland, and Baron
Dowse, Baron of the Court Exchequtr
in Ireland, for the proposition that
these large tenants are able to take
care Of themselves. Mr.. Gladstone
energetically opposed the amendment,
and pointed out that no such recon
mendation had been made by either Of
the commissions, and declared that
the Government would be no party to
drawing a distinction which was
directly opposed to the lines upon
which the bill was drawn. The eamend
mend was negatiyed by vote of 24l
to 2O5. The narrowness of the ma
jority was greeted with loud cheers.
Several prominent Liberals voted in
the minority, including the Right
Hon. G. II. Goschen, Colonel Kings
cote, Edward Heneagea, Thomas Il.
Evans, and Hon. Mr.. FitzwilIiams.
Right Hon. Henry Brand, Mr.. Davis
and Mr.. Frederick Millbank. The
majority was the lowest, with one ex.
ception, that the government has Sc
cured throughout the discussion of
the bill. Many Irish liberal members
we're absent from the division.
