CAPTURED ATZEROT.
Death of n WeIl-knOwn Montgomery
County Farmer.


County Farmer.
James w. Purdum, a well-known citizen
of Montgomery county. Md, died yester-
day very suddenly at his home near
Jamestown. 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 VIM. R. Gather. who was a perfect
stranger to the would-be assassin. On his
arrival in the neigaborhood of Germantown
he became Intoxicated and let fall some
clue to his identity, when he was arrested
on suspicion by Mr.. Purdum and afterward
carried back to this city, convicted by a
Q court-martial and executed. Mr.. Gather,
who had innocentIy allowed him to ride in
his yagon 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-
ceived portion Of the reward offered by
the government for the apprehension OF
the conspirators.

was received at the japanese legation

that on the 9TH instant nineteen Jap,
anese men-of-war left Korean waters
for Wei-Hai- Wei, which they approach
ed at midnight on the 9th inst. a tor
pedo fiotilla was sent out and on the
following morning shots were exchang-

did not find any of the Chinese fleet
the Japanese men-of-war returned to

by dispatch boat from Korea to some
japanese port and thence telegraphed
to Toxic, whence it was cabled to the
