Death of a Well-Kuown Montgomery County Farmer. James W. Purdum, a well-known citizen of Montgomery county, Md., died yester- day very suddenly at his home near Darnestown, in the seventy-fifth year of his age. The most noted incident in the life of the deceased was his capture of Atzerot, one of the assassination conspira- tors in 1865. In this conspiracy Atzerot had been detailed to kill Vice President Andrew Johnson and after his failure to do so he made his way through Georgetown and secured transportation in the direction of Montgomery county in the wagon of the late Wm. R. Gaither, who was a perfect stranger to the would-be assassin. On his arrival in the neighborhood of Germantown he became intoxicated and let fall some clue to his identity, when he was arrested this city, convicted by a @ court-martial and executed. Mr. Gaither, who had innocently allowed him to ride in his wagon while trying to make his escape, was also arrested and confined in the old capitol prison until the facts in the case became known to the authorities, when he was released. Mr. Purdum afterward re- — @ portion = byt container tan by government for apprehension of the conspirators. —a— Bill of Discovery. ‘Thos. H. Gibson, Wm. Mason and Paul L. Daudridge, trustees of the Israel Baptist Church, have filed a bill in equity against John T. Arms, trustee, and Thos. G. Hen- sey, beneficiary in the same, praying for discovery, and that the defendants be re- strained from sellirg the south 24 feet 6 inches of lot 17, square 960.

John Linder, Johanna C. Block and her husband, Sigmund J. Block, have filed a suit against Absalom Kirby, claiming dam- ages to the amount of $1,000. The first two named plaintiffs allege that September 25 and 26, IS¥1, they were possessed of a cer- tain tenement located en lots 8 and 9, square $20, 35S 4th street southeast, as tenants in common. The defendant, they assert, om those and divers other days Yroke and entered the said tenement, and shen and therein made a great noise and Msturbance, and did then and there tear down and destroy a large part of said dwelling, of the value of $suv. By reason thereof the plaintiffs say they lost the rent of said premises for the space of six months, thereby being damaged further in the sum of $200. > Honors Taylor. Dr. Thomas A.

The Various Improvements in the Building—Additional Facilities for the Classes. The Young Men’s Christian Association inaugurated its fall and winter campaign in the interests and for the welfare of young meh last night at the association building, on New York aveaue between 14th and 15th streets. A general invitation had been sent out to the members and the public to what was designated as a house warming. In accordance with the usual custom of the past years there was a general response and at 7 o'clock the guests of the evening began to arrive. They came in scores and hundreds, many just to see the changes and improvements in the building. While hundreds did not remain, there was at all times by far the largest company that has ever attended the entertainments given by the association. A description of the character of the im- provements was given in Saturday's Star, but to be appreciated they need to be seen at night, and last night, with the finishing — complete, with an array of bunting, wa palms and light everywh the — a best: provements and the better equipment in each department, particularly in the gym- nasium and educational class rooms. The entertainment, which was musical, literary and athletic in its character, was held in the gymnasium. On account of the immense throng Prof. Sims’ athletes were cor-siderably restricted, but they were given a little space in the center to show their preficiency. Their part of the program was necessarily impromptu, as regular work will not be started before October 1; never- theless the performances on the German horse and buck, the horizontal bar and the club swinging were well worth the in- convenience of standing to witness. In ad- Cition to the exhibition by the young men there was some fine club swinging by Miss Fapnie E. Hurst, who manipulated the clubs with an ease and grace which called forth prolonged appizuse from the audience. f. Sims’ volunteers consisted of E. H. Grove, Ernest Morsell, Roger Fenwick, J. L. Riggles, W. P. Ferguson, H. A. Fleiger, Benj. Finnigan, L. H. Herbert, Horace Ford and A. W. Bache. Literary and Musical. The program was liberally interspersed with music by an orchestra composed of young men, under the direction of Chas. Hayden Chase, known as the Princeton Club, consisting of the following: Edward Muth, C. S. Shreve, jr. L. G. Hoffman, John Challice, Wm. Boone, Arthur Raub, Geo. Harrington, Frank Helbig, jr., E. H.' Johnson, L. Fahenstock, jr., T. J. Taylor, H. Strasburger, R. G. Marean, Walter Har- vey and C. H. Chase. At the conclusion of the athletic exhibi- tion Miss Zue Brockett recited “Oh, Sir,” from the French, which called for an en- thusiastic encore. Harry O. Hine gave a brief address on the value of education and emphasized the intellectual feature of the association work. L. Cabell Williamson, president of the as- pociation, spoke for the work in general and the purpose of the managers to in- crease continuously the efficiency of all de- partments of the association. Miss Ella Lawrenson sang a soprano solo, entitled “I Love My Love in the Spring Time,” and Judge Geo. Baber spoke for the literary society, which, he said, was one of the best educational factors in the lives of young men of the capital. . §. Shreve, jr., gave a cornet solo en- titled “The Palms,” and E. P. Hanna, the veteran teacher of stenography in the as- sociation evening classes, spoke of the prac- tical valug of the language of curves and crooks in particular and the Young Men's Christian Association as an educational in- stitution. General Secretary Pugh closed the even- ing by a stirring appeal for co-operation on the part of all to make the work for young men a greater success than ever before. While the business men of the community have been cottributing to the financial suc- cess of the organization and the board of managers have given their time and their means toward its development, it is recog- nized by those interested that the energy and zeal of the general secretary has con- tributed largely to its success, so that his words always receive the attention which they deserve, and his request fell on sym- pathetic and willing hearers last night. The Educational Classes. At the close of the entertainment the audience scattered through the building to see the improvements, which were notice- able everywhere, and particularly in the educational class rooms, which department has become a hobby with the secretary. ‘The rooms are flooded with light, which will be greatly to the satisfaction of the students in all classes, particularly those in the draughting class. The rooms are prepared to accommodate studies in book- keeping, arithmetic, English, penmanship, stenosraphy, typewriting, algebra, geom- etry, draughting and physics, and the faculty will be composed of Messrs. E. P. Hanna, W. C. Henry, H. O. Hine, A. M. P. Maschmeyer, J. W. Crawford and E. B. Lewis. The enrollment was 273 young men last year, and is likely to be increased with the better equipment this year. A feature of the evening was an exhibition of prizes won by W. W. F. Sims, the bicyclist, son of the physical director, consisting of gold watches, diamonds, medals, lamps, silver- ware, etc. The success of the evening was due in a great measure to the efficiency of the re- ception committee, under the leadership of Marry Blake, as chatrman, and the decora- tions which pleased sy many were done by the deft fingers of N. L. Hammer, while Cc. F. Hale filled the parlors with palms. Among the large number of visitors were Justice William Strong, Rev. W. C. Alex- ander, S. W. Woodward and Judge A. S. Taylor. The building is open for inspection every evening, and the general public are cordially invited to see the changes that have been wrought. —__——_—. THE METHODIST UNION. Plans Discussed for the Relief of the North Capitol Street Church. At the regular monthly meeting last night of the Methodist Union of the District of Columbia about thirty members were pres- ent, who took under consideration the float- ing debt of North Capitol Street Church, amounting to about $2,500. The pastors of the churches that have not yet raised their full proportion were requested by resolutions to take immediate steps to raise the bal- ance due, and Rey. L. B. Wilson, presiding elder of the District, and Kev. C. W. Bald- win were appointed a committee, with Re’ c. L. Pate of North Capitol Street Church, to call upon the official boards of the churches and urge the same action. A committee, consisting of Messrs. B. H. Stinemetz of Foundry, P. L. Brook of Union, M. G. Emery of Metropolitan and President Swartzell of Hamline, was ap- pointed to investigate the financial condi- tion of the embarrassed church, to recom- mend measures of relief, and report at a meeting of the union to be held in Wesley Chapel Friday night, September 28. ——— Mrs. Mary A. Moore's Funeral. The funeral services over the remains of Mrs. Mary A. Moore, who died yesterday morning, will be held this evening at 5 o'clock at the residence of her son-in-law, Mr. R. A. King, 1430 Corcoran street. The body will be taken to Suffolk, Va., for in- terment. oo A Little Boy Drowned. Joseph Raymond Wells, a bright little boy not much more than six years of age, did not appear at his home Sunday, 516 1 lth street southwest, when the family sat down to dinner. His brother Clinton entered the dining room before the noon- day mea! was finished, and in a childish way told of having found Joseph's hat on the 11th street wharf. As nothing could be ascertained about the missing boy, Wm. Thomas, an expert swimmer, went to the wharf and soon made a search of the river. In ten feet of water he found the body of the boy. The coroner gave a certificate of accidental death. $ AMUSEMENTS, Albaugh’s Grand Opera House.—The per- formance of “‘A “Wild Duck" at Albaugh's last night was appreciated by a good house. The attraction belongs distinctly to the school of farce comedy and there is a lavish display of ingenuity in keeping the action going at the pace which is de- manded for that kind of an entertainment. ‘The piece is evidently the result of a dill- gent application of the principles which govern the popular taste, so far as they can be analyzed, and the author, the play- ers and the management have all been at evident pains to observe the demand and to supply it. The result is a rollicking as- sortment of nonsense bound together by ercugh plot to keep it from ,being inco- herent, but in no wise handicapped as to action by the necessity of explaining a story. The element of plot is present, but cere ig taken that it shall not get in the way. The company is a good one. Mark Sullivan is a clever comedian and Nellie and Lizzie McCoy are bright and amusing children. One of the features of the per- formance that stands out conspicuously is the bit of specialty by Marie Stuart. To say that this lady has “ginger” is to put it very mildly. She sings French songs in @ way that captivates by the flow of spirits and animal magnetism, while her audacity astonishes her audience into an accept ance of whatever she chooses to do. She the typical French singer of a certain class and ag such she proved. amusing . wherever apother performer -would perhaps not be stolerated. “A Wild Duck” may be expected to fly high ‘at Albaugh’s until] it is succeeded next week by Fannie Rice in “Miss Innocence Abroad. New National Theater._Under the pres- ent condition of things it requires a good deal of nerve to start out‘an English opera company, but Mr. Chas. H.- Pratt believes that the public will support a good com- pany, and he has got together a set of peo- ple who, when they become accustomed to cach other, will be the strongest troupe that has been seen in English opera.The two main attractions are Mme. Marie Tavary and Edward L. Guille. Tavary was first heard in this city as a member of the Min- nie Hauk Opera Company, and she made an extremely favorable impression then. Subsequently she came here in concert and increased the good feeling of the public toward her. She also sang in oratorio for the Choral Society, thus demonstrating her artistic versatility. It is in opera, how- ever, that her abilities find full scope, and as Leonora last night in “Il Trovatore,” Verdi's tuneful and ever-popular work, she achieved a distinct success. She sang the florid music of the score excellently, while she gave to the part all the dramatic in- tensity that it required. In the concerted numbers with Mr. Guille the audience was leud in its applause, and both were again ang again called before the curtain. Mr. Guille, as is well known, has a phenom- enal tenor, and last night he surprised even his most ardent admirers by striking high D natural in the duet in the second act. His singing of the “Di quella pira” excited the greatest enthusiasm and he was obliged to repeat, giving high C with perfect ease and with a wealth of tone that has not been heard by any other tenor since the days of La Franc. Guille is not new to Washington, having been heard here first with the Emma Juch company and more recently with the Hinrichs company, and those who have heard him before were con- firmed in their admiration of his remarka- ble voice, while to those who heard him for the first time last night his singing was @ revelation. All through the opera his work excited the greatest enthusiasm in the audience and he was the recipient of a handsome basket of flowers. Thea Dorre made an excellent Azucena, giving evi- dence of fine dramatic ability and also the possession of a voice of fine quality and considerable power. Wm. Mertens, who was the Count de Luna, has a powerful veice, though with too much vibrato, and he wandered from the key once or twice. The chorus is large and effective, the crera was handsomely costumed and the orchestration of twenty-five pieces was ef- ficient. Tonight “Carmen” will be given. | Academy of Music.—“‘On the Mississippi,” a new melodrama, by Wm. Haworth, was given at the Academy of Music last night, with excellent results, from every point of consideration. Net only was the audience appreciative, but the play went with a smoothness and vim which gave it promise of a most successful week's engagement. The honors are about equally divided be- tweent the company and the scenic artist. Perhaps the scenic artist has at some points in the performance just a trifle the best of It. It is a southern drama, the scenes being laid in the vicinity of New Orleans. Not only are the settings attrac- tive ‘n a spectacular sense, but they pre- sent much that is interesting in the way of reproducing points of local celebrity in the Metropolis of the south. William Ha- worth, as an author and an actor, dem- onstrates a keen comprehension of effect, both picturesque and emotional, and is plainly destined to repeat the success,which he secured with “The Ensign.” Melodrama indifferently presented is worse than in- competent burlesque, and the conscien- tious manner in which “On the Mississippi” is given to the public shows that this fact is fully appreciated. There is the close at- tention to detail that appeals to the im- agination and gives the element of realism so necessary in this class of entertain- ment. The company averages remarkably well as to dramatic ability. 2 Butler’s Bijou Theater.—The usually crowded conditionsprevailed at Butler’sBijou Theater last night, when Scott Marbie’s new play, “Tennessee's Pardner,” was pre- sented by an exceptionally strong cast. The play is of the western order, but is minus the obnoxious blood and thunder that usually go with plays of that ciass. “Tennessee's Pardner” established its rep- utation in New York last season as a strorg, clean drama, filled with dramatic incidents and grand climaxes offering plen- ty of opportunities to the members of the cast. Cora Van Tassell, a bright and con- scientious actress, was well suited to the star part, “Tennessee Kent,” and charmed everybody by the versatility displayed in the character of the almost friendless but spirited girl in search of a lost father. Chas. B. Hawkins, as “Gewiliker Hay,” kept the house in good humor while on the stage, and presented a character true to nature and abounding with pathos and humor. Mr. Percy Kingsley, as “Caleb Swan,” the “Pardner,” gave the star strong support and was enthusiastically applauded in the stirring scenes and climaxes. The remain- der of the cast, which is a long and well selected one, did their parts in a manner to develop the points of the play in a satis- factory manner. “Tennessee's Pardner” should, on its merits, crowd the Bijou at every performance during this week's en- gagement. Kernan’s Lyceum Theater.—A program in which every artist employed makes a big hit is being given this week at Kernan’s Lyceum Theater, and the large audience that assembled last night kept the air constantly filled with shout after shout of laughter and round after round of applause. The attraction is C. W. Williams’ Come- dians, under the management of Al. Reeves, and it is safe to say that these clever gen- tlemen were never surrounded .by a more satisfactory company than the one which is now under their management. C. W. Williams in his ventriloqual act; Mile. Charcot, the lady hypnotist, and Prof. Wormwood's troupe of educated dogs and monkeys are the bright particular stars of the company. Among the other strong acts on the program are Murphy and Mack, in a comedy sketch; Al. Reeves, banjoist: Marlow and Dunham; the Hiatts; Morris- sey and Proctor, and the Brilliant’ Quartet, each act contributing toward the general good humor and sending the audience home highly pleased with themselves and the program presented.

The applicationiof the George U. Morris Post, G. A. R., o& Georgetown, to the quar- termaster department, in which it is asked that the government furnish them with head stones to mark the graves of Union soldiers recently identified in Holy Rood cemetery, has been answered, partly to their satisfaction. The department agrees to furnish the stones, but the post must haul, letter and set them up. This will be a severe tax, as the post is a new one, and not particularly well off financially, Four- teen graves, heretofore neglected, are at the present time under the eyes of the post members. All along the southern fence of the cemetery there are alleged to be buried the remains of seidiers of whom no record was kept, and for months a committee rep- resenting. the post has been irregularly en- gaged in trying to identify them. Some success has been met with. Of all the Union soldiers known to have been interred im Holy Rood but three have monuments or stones marking their resting places. On the first meeting ‘night in November the George U. Morris Post will entertain Kit Carson Post of Washington. It will be on the second Mondayof the month. There will be a literary and musical pro- gram, after which the veterans will call up old war deeds. Real Extate Sales, . Robert M. McPhearson has sold to Laura A.

The Meeting w Virginia Jockey Club Opens October 18. Mr. H. D. McIntyre, who will be secr> tary of the new Virginia Jockey Club, whose track is located at St. Asaph’s junc- tion, Va., came down from New York with @ number of horsemen and newspaper men Sunday, and visited the track to observe the progress of improvements there. The track is three-quarters of a mile, with a quarter-mile chute, enabling mile races to be run with oniy two turns, as on a mile track. The track is 80 feet wide in the homestretch, 70 in the backstretch and 90 cn the turn. The grand stand is 250 feet long by 46 deep, and will seat 2,7W. The betting ring will be 165 by 46 fect under the stand. The grounds will be supplied with water from the Alexandria reservoir. First-class stables have be2n built to ac- commodate 400 horses. They have been ae after those of the Brooklyn Jockey lub. The meeting will begin October 18 and will continue until December 1. Messrs Simmons and McDowell will preside in the judges’ stand, and James Rowe will be the starter. There will be six races each day, begin- ning at 2 o'clock. The purses will aggre- gate $3,000 daily. When asked what sta- bles were coming to St. Asaph Mr. McIn- tyre said: “All the prominent stables will ship their horses over here as soon as the season cleres in New York. Among them will be the Oreck stable, P. J. Dwyer, M. F. Dwyer and the Manhattan stable, P. B. Morris, August Belmont, J. J. McCafferty, August Clason, Burridge Brothers, P. Lorill , 8. 8. Brown, W.
