man Y. Wilbur r. Storey, of tho Chicago Times,
waa yesterday filed. Tho damages sought amount
to 925,000, and tho suit Is for libel by On acoount
headed, "a span Of scoundrols; as dashing
team OF raEca1a as evor flow along tho high road
to pordition; the astonishingly brilliant knayory
OF Rat Chapman md 9. II. sanborn; another
expose Of Tie internal tric1tory Of life and fire
Insurance; how these villanouB Puoks put oll
sogtB Of scanpish girllos around tho globe; to-
gothor with q few Of thoir incidental swindles," !"
which collection OF hard wor(t8 formed tho ut
tractivo lines drawing attention to so-cal1ed
Expose Of swindling transactions on tho
part OF tho parties named, which was
published In tho Times Of tho 25th October,
3672. The article III question contains state-
monts of IN extraordinarily vague aud highly
colored not to say hifalutin, character, amount
ing to charges that Chapman had done nothing,
touched nothing, hoped for nothing, dreamed
of nothing, but swindling other people that lo
lived by swindliug, muat die Of swindling, and
had almost boon born III the act Of swindling !;
that it he opened his eyes in tile morning It was
for no othor purpose than to awlndlo himself
into tho belief TINT le had been to sleep; that
II he opened his mouth to cat, 1t WIS with tho
consciousness that ho was about to got swim
died dinner nnd TINT when he shook his frlcnd
by the hand, it was us though he did 80 with a
joy Of having awindlod tho owner of that hand
upon como earllor occasion. The
article in question, NJ presented in
tho declaraton is almost incredibly wordy, windy.
RD Init II,
man waa awindlor Of the n,ost outrageous
character is uuloniaby plain. The p1nintiff as-
eerts that ho is d good, honest, true, and fnith-
full citizen, Of Kookuk, Iowa, and that, until tho
charges made BY the Times, he Ind always
been reputod, esteemed, and accepted among hia
feuow-citizons as porson Of good namo, famo,
and credit, as we'll as among all citizcns Of Iowa
and Illinois to whom lie was known. :. He affirns
that the circulation Of this report has injured
him among his friends, some Of whom, until he
can refuto it in tho Courts, arc constrained to
believe 1t true, or at least to discontinue holding
intercourse with him, to Ills damage, loss Of
credit, profit, and fame, as Aforesaid,
4 Observation-Disclosures WOMAN sE1zEs HER Hug-
BANDS PROPERTY.
Adelia Ryan, s.ce Mesun, ii q woman undoubt-
ed1y destined to rulo among men. How she has
held her husband by tho noHe for sixteen long
years, how sho Las twoalsod that nose and cast it
away, and is now waiting for somebody elge's
nose to pfnch-by mems Of divorco-ler hus-
band Johns melancholy bill for injunction, and
variety Of othor things, will tell. John relates
that he married tho strong -minded Addy at
Wheeling, Wost Virginia, In 1857, with whom ho
has been living, until now, as Ills vito; and TINT
in Juno, 1871, ho loaned ono John Roach tho
sam Of 91.60o, for three years, duly secured by
mortgage on land in Wolcott'a Addition to
Chicago. This loan wag the beginning OF the
husband's undoing. Addy plnyfully asked her
husband to crafty whnn by allowing tho note
and mortgage to be 1nado ont In her nano i; and
Bupposiug, I'D ho now aiflrme, that tho request
was really nothing more than wl1in, he ten
dorly consented, fondly hoping thus to CRAFTY &
womanly caprice. But the time soon came wion
John fell sick. and in trouble, and thon he got
together his papers and accounts, aud sent tho
tour, She collected the money, but refused to
give 1t up, clninling it % ller own; and the ox-
plantations demanded by hor husband resulted in
the horTifying intelligence boing communicated
those collections, but to tho noto and mortgage
also; and when ho family huggeeted sswhirn, my
dear; playful fancy, surely" sho hguratirely
oxtingulEhed him BY stating TINT she WAS about
ler own account with tho moneys thus procured,
or with q partnnr porchance after the lit.lo for
mality of divorce suit had been gone through,
Wherefore. poor Ryan prays all manner Of In
5unctlons, restraining everybody and everything
ever which the Court has Jurisdiction IN tic
prcmnes; particularly as regards this 81, 500
mortgage On which he relied for tile means Of
!lvng being sick md unable to work, and his
help-mate about to abandon him to the buffotB
OF the cruel world.
