Divorce Business i'm Chicago.
From the Chicago Republican.


Nina Landgraf petitioned the Circuit
Court for divorce from John Land
graft, to whom she was married in this
city on the 18th of June, 1867. Nina
had been Johns housekeeper about
year before their marriage, and had been
previously married in Germany to an
individual Of the name of Plumbhorn.
Her parents having emigrated to this
country, she obtained Plumbhorn' con-
sent to come over and join them, and it
was agreed that he should follow her,
and that they should all live together in
Wisconsin, where her parents had set
tied down. This was in 1860, and for
five years Nina waited, and heard no
tidings of the dilatory Plumbhorn. At
last she got letter from an intimate
friend stating that he was dead; and
this letter she read confdentially to
Landgratf, who was also satisfied that
Plumbhorn was dead, and offered to
take the vacant place. Nina blushingly
consented, and became Mrs. Landgraf.
Very soon, however, after their mar
riage, Landgraff came into possession of
property worth $30,000 including three
houses and two lots on State street,
where they lived. Then he became
tired of Nina, and began to treat her
very cruelty, beating her when she was
well, and refusing her medical aid when
she was sick. At last, in March, 1868,
she was obliged to flee for shelter to her
friends and neighbors, in order to avoid
his cruelty and he took another house
keeper, with whom Nina alleges that
he is living in a state of adultery. His
persecution of her did not cease with
her quitting his house. In July, 1868,
he had her arrested and indicted on a
charge of bigamy, alleging that her first
husband was still alive in Germany but
she was honorably acquitted. His next
move was to call in the assistance of
certain Justice of the Peace and some
shyster lawyer, who so inundated and
coerced Nina that she was induced to
put her name to document which she
now understands to be an agreement to
release Landgraff from all claims to her
maintenance, but the exact purport of
which she did not then know She asks
the Court to inquire into these matters,
and the Court has granted her leave to
prosecute her suit an lorna pauperiS.

Ben. who is very black, but thoroughly edu-

were capable of expressing. Mr. Davis met
them cordially and encouraged them by many
kind words. After dinner at which our
wealthy host again waited on us in excellent
style, we passed on to very large and valu-
