EVANSVILLE, Ind, Aug. 24.-There are
no developments in the triple murder Of
yesterday. Other arrests have been made
on suspicion, but no positive evidence il
obtained. The general theory is that the
motive was malice.

were hired TO do the deed. They are being
followed by detectives.
CUSTOMS FRAUDS IN CANADA,
MONTREAL, Aug. 24.-The customs au-
thorities are actively tracing the destina-
tion Of ali American dour imported from
the Western states under bond for ahip-
nent to Great Britain and Newfoundland.
The result has been the discovery Of gigan-
tic frauds upon the revenue since the na-
tional policy was introduced four years ago.
During the past twelve months alone, SO
far as the inquiry has extended, it is found
that Lord & Mann. importers. ut whose
warehouse the late great seizure Of flour
was made, have sold over 10000 barrels Of
superior American -four to local bakers,
and that their warehouse bonds were cam
celed by shipping Canadian -four as a SUBJ

When it Is recorded that the total transactions
amounted only to 24S 1877 shares, it goes without
saying that to-day's stock market was excessively
dull. Nevertheless IL was not entirely void of in
terestIng features, of tempting fluctuations
The fav0rite theory CT operators at the beginning
OF business that the return of Mr.. Gould from
the West meant higher prices; by suppleness of
reasoning known only in speculative circles the
conclusion reached that whatever may
be the future of values, Mr.. Gould
would sgnalize his return home by throw
ing his wealth and influence into the speculative
vortex in favor of an immediate advance in prices
Such was the common talk in and out of the Board
ROOM and 1t that which made prices generally
open higher than they closed last night, and until
after midday held them firm, although the market
was inactive. After noon-time the action was re-
versed with general activity than had at
tended the mornings business. But some free sales
of Central and Hudson which drove its price from
1889 to 1873, and of Western Union from S63i
down to SO created momentary hurres in those two
stocks Wabash preferred and Louisville and Nash
vile stocks also trie more active IN the late
decline than they in the early advance, but of
the general market it may be said the decline was
as quietly made a. was the advance Taking the
market as a whole it closed with a small rally from
the lowest figures yet lower than last night, and it
closed unsettled, and operators thoroughly
disguised with the days work
Government bonds as dull as usual and
bids for the S. Annexed the closing quota
