BIG LIBEL SUIT,
Cyrus w. Field After James Gordon

Cyrus w. Field After James Gordon
Bennett.
LONDON, July. 14.-The Times says: In the
Queens Bench Divisional Court in London,
on the twelfth OF July, before Justice Wells
and Justice Graham, the case Of Field VS..
Bennett was heard. This was an action
by Cyrus w. Field against James Gordon
Bennett OF the New York Herald, for libel.
The difficulty, was, in serving the defend
ant with a process, as he resides in Paris
and is often in America, and has no resi-
dence or place of business in this country.
Under these circumstances, in April of last
year, an order was made by the Court of
Appeal that plaintiff should be at liberty
to proceed by serving A. Oakley Hall, who
Cornhill and under that order a process
has been so served upon him, that is writ
has been shown to him, but he refused to
receive it and sent it back with letter in
which he wrote he refused it first
because, as a codefendant in the action he
had already appeared; second, because he
had no authority to represent James Cor
don Bennett in any litiSation; third. be-
cause Mr.. Benefits domicile was in Paris
and he never had any domicile or place of
business in England, and until lately had
been in New York; fourth, that this court
had no jurisdiction over him rs he was an
alien, living abroad, etc. Mr.. Pollard. on
the part of the plaintiff. now moved for an
order allowing him to enter an interlocu-
tory judgment against the defendant, pre-
paratory to a writ of inquiry to assess
damages. The order to serve the process
had been, he said, complied with as his
own letter showed, for he had received
writ though he had returned it. The court
held that as the order for service had been
compiled with, the plaintiff was entitled
under the order to an interlocutory judg-
ment, and an order was entere accord
ingly.

The Soldiers Must be Protected.

WASHINGTON, July 13.-The President
has denied the application for pardon in
the case of Joseph Milton, now undergoing
sentence. for demanding and retaining ex-
cessive bills for the prosecution OF a pen
sion case. The President in passing on the
case says: ''The offense for which the pris.
oner was convicted consisted in extorting
from soldier for procuring pension.

This crime is serious one and it's bad con-

criminal practices in the procurement OF
pensions. The people who make it q busi-
ness to procure pensions are often OF such
character as to need all the restraint and,
when guilty, the punishment they receive

scarcely at all. The motion for an appeal
to the Supreme Court will be filed in few

He Whips Con Tobin. of New York, in Two
Rounds.

Troy, N. u, July 14.-Jack Fogartv, OF
Philadelphia, and Con Tobin, Of this city,
fought with medium small gloves at the
Grand Central Theater in this city last
night. Tobin Is Z, heavy weight, and stands
nearly six feet high. For some time his
friends have regarded him as the coming
pugilist, and have claimed for him the title
OF cha mpion OF New York; though there is
no such thing. Last night he weighed 1872
pounds, while Fcgarty was only 15S.
James Stewart was referee and Ed Tighe
and John Mckenna We're time-keepers.
Johnny Files seconded Fogarty, while Kit
McGrlth looked after Tobin.
When time was called Tobin went right
at his man head, but Fogarty having a
good deal II regard for it ducked it out OF
the way. Tobin would not be denied and
landed Il hot left handler on Jacks chin.
Fogarty retaliated with punch in the
ribs that was heard all over the hall.
Tobin tried to smash Jack, but the latter's
cleverness enabled him to evade the full
force OF his blows when he did not avoid
them altogether. They clinched twice, and
as they broke away the second time the
round ended.
Tobin rushed in like a mad bull when
time was called for the second round, and,
though Fogarty got back, he could not
wholly avoid some OF Tobin's blows. As
the latter came in again Jack met him
with an upper cut which Strengthened him
up and made him reel. As Fogarty went
at him he clinched with him, and, back
heeline him: threw him heavily to the
stage. Jack was first to his feet, and
instead of claiming foul, as he had a
right to do, he nailed Tobin as he got up
in one, two, three order with fearful force.
The big fellow appeared dazed for a mo-
ment, and then he caught hold OF Fogarty
and by sheer brute strength again threw
him to the stage. Fogarty, though shaken
by the fall, was again first to arise, and, as
Tobin got up, he went at him like a young
bull at a red rag. A hot rally ensued, but
Jack peppered his man so hotly that he
turned his head to avoid the rain of blows
and broke away. Fogarty followed after
him and as he turned gave him two terrible
smashes on the head. Tobin staggered and
would have fallen had not time been called
and his second gone to his assistance. On
reaching his chair in the wings he pulled Off
his gloves and refused to fight any more.
The referee then decided that Fogarty had
won. He was heartily cheered while To-
bin was groaned and hissed. Nearly a
thousand persons paid to see the battle.
