NEw YonE, Aug. 5.--There was some
improvement in to.days business on the
stock exchange. At times the market
was fairly active, but the movement of
prices gave evidence that most Of the
trading was the direct result of manipn-

than have controlled operations at times
in the past. Late in the day business
relapsed into adegree of dulness seldom

aggregate 233,000 shares, an increase
over yesterday of 900 shares. The
movement in prices to-day was quite ir.

the Gould stocks and Lackawauna led at

One of the reports circulated In Wall street
Saturday to account for the recent advance in
prices of stocks was to the effect that Messrs.
Jay Gould and j. Pierrpont Morgan and one or
two others had accumulated 10000 shares of
stock prior to the beginning of the present adj
vance. They then went to Mr.. Vanderbilt and
offered TO let him have any portion of the stock
thus gathered at cost price. The story IN that he
accepted one-half the amount mentioned, and has
permitted the reports Of the alleged negotiations
to be circulated for the purpose of manipulating
prices. Whether there Is any truth whatever In
the story related, the street IL very decidedly

ENGLISH BLACKMAILERS.

A LONDON TRIAL OF TWENTY-FIVE YEARS
AGO RECALLED by THE PRESENT sENsA-
TON
The sensation of the day in England
still is the tearing of the veil and the ex-
posture of the sores of English society in
all their fostering nakedness. Something
of the kind was threatened in London
twenty-five years ago. A Nine. Laundon,
n Belgian fiend, was in the habit of inn
porting young girls, selected for their
beauty, from the country districts of
Belgium, many of them of culture and
education, on pretense of employment as
governesses and ladies' maids, and then
by cleverly devised inducements wean
ing them into the wages of vice.
She kept up correspondence with
many leading members of the house of
lords and commons, and conveyed regu-
lar intelligence of the arrival of each
fresh cargo and particulars of the freight.

list of all the visitors, who received, as

certain consideration their names
would be suppressed. Many were thus

STORY OF THE LATE" OLIVIER PAIN.
The distinguished Russian" who Wis
tied Pondicherry few days ago, habited
as priest, turns out to be the notorious
Olivier Pain, communist and chancellor
to the Mahdi. He went straight to the
Roman Catholic mission house, where
he introduced himself as priest, and
presented letter from an Egyptian
bishop. The letter was, of course, a for
gerry. He was kindly received and hos.
pitably entertained. On the following
morning he was invited to assist at early
mass in the European Cathedral and he
actually administered the holy commu-
MON to several members of the congre-
cation. including three nuns. The hor-
ror of the communicates, and of the
nuns in particular, on being acquainted
with the deception, may be better imag-
ined than described. At the conclusion
of the service Olivier expressed wish
to continue his journey by that morn
ings train, and after q hearty breakfast
and the acceptation of sixty rupees,
which the project pressed upon his in
teresting Russian" friend, the distin-
guished visitor departed. - Bangalore
