Julius LanSburgh Company Want
$50, 900 for an Alleged Libel.
EImira Table Company and Indiana
Cabinet Makers Union Are
the Defendants.

The Julius Lansburgh Furniture and Car
pet Company yesterday entered suit for
$50, 900 damages against the Elnrira Table
Company of New York and the Indiana
Cabinet Makers Union for an alleged libel
published by the defendants in the papers
Of suit filed by them against the plain

Il suit has been pending for several years
between the two parties, in which 1t is
claimed the defendants have been trying
to collect from the plaintiff debts alleged
60 be due by Mr.. julius Lansburgh per-
sonally.
On April % the defendants filed a bill
ip which the following alleged libelous
statement was made:
THAT the circumstances under which the
fire occurred in said comp8ny's (the plain
Tiff place OF business on December 2S,
1886, were so extraordinary that the in
sur3nce companies having policies of in
surancc on the stock OF said company have
refused to pay the same, and the amount
said by the company to be due it IN
account OF said policies has become very
doubtful asset
1t is oontended by the Julius Lansburgh
Company that the defendants try TO convey
the meaning that the plaintiff set on fire
or caused TO be set on fire, the store, and
the insurance companies for that reason
refused to pay the policies. 1t is further
get out that the Objectionable language used
In the supplemental bill had no reference to
the suit and was wholly Irrelevant
Another paragraph in the supplemental
bin alleged TO be libelous reads:
THAT the said company (meaning the
complainantl is entirely insolvent. 1t
has been sued on account of goods pur-
chased and the plaintiffs in said suits have
been unable to find property upon which
TO levy an attachment. The said com

there on consignment, and We're taken on

nearly 8 IA cents here. Western receipts
are Small, and the disposition OF farmers
to hold FOR higher figures is strengthened
by many foreign reports 1t seems to be
the fact that crops in other countries are
less promising than usual, and the de-
mand for American wheat is supplemented
even at this season by exports OF 9, 2,605 59t
bushels corn, against $50 $40 bushels for
the same week last year. Each week
