Stanley Hopkins wanted to show Sherlock Holmes that his inferences are correct. John Hopley Neligan wanted to avenge his father’s death and secure his honour. Peter Carey’s wife wanted to take revenge after her husband had flogged her.

He then talks some about how 1895 was a busy year, but that the murder of Peter Carey definitely stood out. Here's the story:
