THE OWNER OF THE NEW YORK HERALD
HOUSE-WHIPPED BY MISS MAY’S
BHOTHEB.
New York Special (Jan. 8) to the Cincinnati Cam
meroiaL]
The marriage of Mias Caroline May
to Mr. Juuies G. Bennett, the pro'-
prietor of the Herald, was to have
been solemnized to-day by Cardinal
McCloskey. Mr. Bennett had de
sired that the marriage should not
be a public display, and Miss May
concurred. It was agreed that the
couple should sail for England just
alter the marriage, and state-rooms
richly arrayed for the bridal party
had been engaged. Miss May’s bri
dal outfit had been received from
Paris at a cost of twenty thousand
dollars, and she had been congratu
lated on her prospective wedding.
Lately, however, some stories had
come to her ears of Mr. Bennett’s ac
tions, and yesterday it was an
nounced that by mutual agreement
the match had been broken off. Mr.
Bennett fruakiy acknowledged that
his behavior warranted Miss May’s
action in asking to be released.
Boon after 2 o'clock this afternoon
the habitues of the Union Club were
startled by the information which
spread like wild tire through the
building, that Mr. Bennett was being
assaulted by Mr. Frederick May, on
the sidewalk, in front of the Club
house. The members of the (hub
were aware of the faot that the
struggle might end in a tragedy, as
May known to have been in a
desperate mood since Saturday. Mr.
May is the brother of Miss Caroline
May. He is an athlete, and has
been very indignant concerning Mr.
Bennett’s treatment of his sister,
and had traced Mr. Bennett to the
Union Club building.
Mr. May is uot a member of the
club, and therefore did not enter and
there encounter Mr. Bennett. As he
stood near the railing in Twenty
first street, several friends passed
and noticed that he was much agita
ted, and that he kept a sharp watch
upon the entrance to the Club-house,
liip. Bennett was within enjoying re
freshments. He was unaccompanied,
and his acquaintances noted that his
jollity was artificial. He sent a mes
sage for his sleigh, and when it ar
rived at the door he prepared him
self for a rido to Central Park. He
wore a long coat and a jaunty cap,
and a splendid siik handkerchief
was wound around his neck. He
seeemed much anuoyed at the watch
fullness of the club people.
When Mr. Beunett, ligated a ciga
rette in the large hallway of the Club
house and started toward the street,
the door was opened wide for him by
the attendant. Mr. Bennett slowly
descended the staircase, and just as
he reached the sidewalk, Mr. May
confronted him, Mr. Bennett step
ped back, and Hr. May drew a small
whip from his great coat, and with
much force and rapidity struck Ben
nettacrossthe face three times. Blood
streamed from gashes under his eyes,
aad from a frightful cui on the nose.
He staggered for a moment and then
threw himself upon Mr. May. They
clinched, but Mr. May being the more
powerful of two, forced himself from
Mr. Bennett’s grasp. At this the lat
ter made another lunge at Mr. May,
who struck at him from the shoul
der, aud Mr. Bennett fell at full
length on the sidewalk. Blood stain
ed the snow from the sidewalk to the
gutter.
Attaches ofthe club-house and pe
destrians ran to Mr. Bennett's as- s
tance. No one attempted to stop Mr.
May, who with hands in his pockets,
walked leisurely toward Fifth Ave
nue.
Mr. Bennett was carried intoHho
house, and his face was bathed. His
sleigh was sent away and a cab was
ordered. Then be was tukeu to his
home in Fifth avenue, where he was
attended by his physician. He will
not be able to be out for several days,
being fearfully cut and bruised.
Police officers near the club-house
said they knew nothing of the tight,
although five minutes after it hap
pened it was the chief topic in all the
neighboring hotels.
Miss May’s two brothers were on
the lookout for Mr. Bennett as early
as 6 o’clock this morning. They
went to the Russia, thinking that he
might take passage in that steamer,
but he was not there.
William May, Frederick’s brother,
was in the club-house, this evening,
for a few moments. He said at first
he did not care to talk of the affair.
Then he said to one of his friends:
“We were looking for Mr. Bennett
all day, but he was in hiding. He
ought to have been eowhided long
ago.”
AN IMPENDING DUEL BETWEEN BENNETT
AND MAY -CONFLICTING BEPOBTS CON
CERNING THE SANGUINARY EVENT.
New York, January L— The Graphic
says that in consequence of the as
sault on the editor of the Herald by
Frederick May, it is understood that
Mr. Bennett has sent a formal chal
lenge through a friend to Mr. May,
and that be has left town with the
intention of fighting a duel. It is
believed Bennett made his will before
leaving town.
The Times, however, will to-morrow
publish the following: "The reports
in circulation about town yesterday
afternoon to the effect that Mr. Ben
nett and Mr. May had left the city
for the purpose of fighting a duel are
utterly without foundation. Notwith
standing assertions to the contrary
on the part of Mr. Bennett’s friends,
it may be stated on most excellent
authority that that gentleman was in
town last evening, while Mr. May
was seen on the street as late as 9
o’clock. It cannot be affirmed with
any degree of certainty, however,
that a hostile meeting between the
two gentlemen will not take place.
On the contrary, such an unfortunate
result is more than likely to occur.
Those most intimately associated
with Mr. Bennett stated yesterday
that he had gone or was going to
Washington ; and the fact as received
by telegraph last evening, that a dis
patch was waiting the gentleman at
the Arlington HcuSe, gave color to
the assertion.”
The Associated Press has a dispatch
from Hartford saying Mr. Bennett
passed through there to-day; and the
local bureau of the Associated Press
here reports that Mr. Bennett could
not be found in the city to-night.
