Working Against Sayler.


New York, Sept 24.-The Posts Wash
ington special says that private advices re-
ceived from Cincinnati indicate the certain
defeat of Representative Sayler by his Re-
publican competitor, Major Butterworth,
at the approaching election. The Republi-
can Congressional Committee here will con-
tribute all the aid possible to prevent Mr.
Saylers return to the House of Repre-

Hoffman Scores Fifteen.
Adolph Hoffman, the man of many
wives, who pleaded guilty to the charge of
bigamy, was arraigned for sentence yester-
day, but an officer from the District At
torney asked that sentence be deferred un-
til to-day, as by that time the Grand Jury
will bring in three or four more counts A
number of his wives were present and were
much disappointed 1t was learned yester-
day that last April Hoffman, under the
name of Chas Greenwald, married young
woman on the East Side, from whom he
borrowed 50, 700 and disappeared, as usual.
On learning his true character she was so
dispirited that she packed up and proposed
returning to Germany. A male friend
heard of the affair. searched for Greenwald,
and, meeting him, he drew a knife and
placing the blade at his throat threatened to
kill him unless he returned the money.
Greenwald begged hard to be spared. Upon
promising to restore the money and leave
the country, he was released. He was fol-
lowed by the gentleman to whom he re-
stored the $2,700. The young lady after
wards returned to Germany. The detect
i've who has worked up the case says Hoff-
man has certainly fooled fifteen women
into marrying him and there may be more.

LONDON, March 1.-THE Minining
Lane leading markets show no sign OF
improvement In business. The chief
exception being rice, which meets
with strong demand. The Econo-
says not even the best bills can be
discounted below the bank OF Eng
lands rate Of discount, two per cent.
Still the supply of bills remains large,
which is proof Of the complete stagna-
ton of trade.
The stock markets show some note-
worthy changes on the adverse side.
The chief cause being the absence OF
authentic Information about the peace
conditions. The threatened rise In
the bank of England's rate Of discount
also assists the depression, on Wed.
nesday aud Thursday. There was
some recovery on Friday, at
the close, on rumors that favorable
ministerial announcements would be
made In parliament. The decline has
been exceptionally heavy In Turkish,
Hungarian, United States and Scotch
railroads, on apprehensions Of un favor-
able dividends.
