THE SUNDAY SCHOOLS.
Rapid Advance in the Work of the
 Churches.

Secretary Walbridge of the county Sunday school union has just com pleted taking a census of the Sunday schools of Maricopa county, which make a very gratifying showing and indicates that the Christian people of the county are alive to the importance of instructing the young, and starting them in the right direction.
 The last census before the present one was taken in 1893, when. there were twenty-four schools with a total membership of 1881. These have been increased till at the present time there are twenty mine schools with an enrolment of 2,074 This does not in clude the Catholics and Mormons, who made no returns Of the number nine are put down as union or undenomi- nationals, four Methodist Episcopal, four South Methodist, two Baptist, two Christian, two Dunkard, two Presbyterian and one each Congrega- tional, Adventist, Episcopal and Free Methodist.
 Phoenix is credited with nine orga- nizations and 1,130 members.
 Of the superintendents five are fe- males and but two ministers of the gospel engaged as such.
 This census will be incorporated in the report of Territorial Secretary Messenger, which will be presented at the territorial convention, which meets in Flagstaff on the 14th, 18th and 10th of this month.

AFTER DEATH.
Stambuloff's Enemies in Life Follow
 Him to His Tomb, ..

SOFIA, Bulgaria, Aug. 1.-The tomb of M. Stambuloff, the ex-premier of Bulgaria, who was assassinated in the streets of Sofia in July last year, has been seriously injured with dyna- mite bomb. Once before, in August of last year, M. Stambuloff's grave was made the object of outrages by van dals, the cross on the grave being broken, the wreathes destroyed and at tempts were being made to exhume the body when the police interfered. A riot was caused at the grave of the dead statesman at the time the funeral ceremony was going on, on July 20 of last year, by his enemies and by the friends of Major Panitza, who had been executed by an order of M. Stam- buloff while he was premier. For some time after his burial his grave had to be kept guarded by military, so persistent were his enemies in their attempts to wreak insults upon the grave and his widow was equally the victim of the malice of her husband s enemies in acts of persecution by Bull garian officials against members of her household.

 F,v for Their Lives With aPosss After Them.

MORALES, Ariz., Aug. 7-About noon yesterday five en ade a daring noon yesterday five men made daring attempt to rob the International bank the cashier, Fred Herrera. The three men entered the bank, two armed With a. pair of Colts each, and the third with a Winchester. One man covered the cashier with a brace of revolvers, the other covered President Dessart with the Winchester and the third tried to get to the vault. One man went to the rear room where some men were holding a meeting and com manded them to throw up their hands. This detracted the attention Of the robber from the cashier and the latter immediately drew his revolver, which caused the robbers to beat a re- treat, firing as they went.
 They mounted their horses and rode away. The cashier followed the men into the street and emptied his re- volver at them, and it is believed that one man was wounded.
 President Dessart received a slight scalp wound, and horse in the street was killed.
 A posse is in pursuit of the robbers, who went in the direction of Gala basas If overtaken there is little likelihood of the necessity of trial. KNIGHTS OF KHORASSAN. '

NEAGLE M THE STAR.

That internal miscreant, Neag1e, who murdered Judge Terry at Judge Fields instance and, who should long now, it appears, employed as hired vil- lain by the Southern Pacific. That is Just where such wretches belong, if they must be outside of a jail or the gallows. A. J. Collins is former em- ploye of the Southern Pacific, who has, or thinks he has, a claim on that com pany for ill usage. For trying to see H. B. Huntington he was kept two months in the county jail and then released on bonds, his attorney having apparently been bought up by the Southern Pacific Turned loose, pen niless, and partially disabled, he has been selling articles on the street, and in that vocation he was standing near the railroad office when H. B. Hunt fngton passed and spoke to him, when Collins answered quietly, with his arms folded. No sooner had he ut tered a few words than Neagle grabbed him by the throat, threw him off the sidewalk and threatened to kill him if he bothered railroad people again. Neagle Is not, on general principles, a safe man to be at large, nor is Hunt ington as long as he keeps such a bulldog around him. A vigorous 4pros- ecution should be instituted against Neagle, and perhaps against Hunting ton as accessory.
 ''Neagle is a dangerous character who should be shot dead by any man whom he approaches"

NEAGIlE IN THE FIX XAMINER.

Dave Neagle has a reputation throughout the Pacific coast as a gun fighter The tragedy that brought him into the greatest notoriety was the killing of David S. Terry in the railroad station at Lathrup on August IA, 1890. Neagle was then a deputy United States marshal, and had been detailed to accompany Judge Field as a bodyguard, Terry having made threats against the justice, as a result of the trial in the federal courts of the claims of Sarah Althea Sharon against the Sharon estate. Terry had been the claimants attorney for some time and then had married her. His wife was with him when he was killed
 "Field and Terry entered the rail- road dining room at Lathrop together, both having arrived at the station on the same train. When Terry saw the justice he walked over to Field and slapped his face. Neagle, who stood behind Field, at once placed his re- volver at Terry's breast and shot him dead.
 ''Neagle also has one other death on his record. While deputy sheriff and city marshal at Tombstone, Arizona, he killed a Mexican with a Winchester rifle, the bullet entering the back In Montana, while acting as foreman of a woodcutters' camp, he sent a bullet into one of his employees. Public feel ing on that occasion ran high, and if the man had died the general opinion is that Neagle would have been 1ynched. He also attempted the life of James Levy in Nevada, firing at Levy while the latter was fighting a duel with a man named Courtney He is now in his forty-ninth year He passed his youth in this city, and went to Arizona in 1878. In 1881 he was elected chief of police of Tombstone. He went to Butte City in 1888 and two years later returned to this city. Sher- if Hopkins appointed him deputy and in 1888 Neagle became a deputy United States marshal, which office he held when he killed Terry

Imposing Caravan of Gorgeously
 Dressed Pilgrims Enter the Oasis.

Last night shortly after o'clock a weary caravan dressed in gorgeous costumes wended its way into the oasis of Phoenix. It was a pleasing specta- cle and the streets were lined with peo- ple to see the entry into the oasis of the fierce and warlike Arabs. but Tn this case the absence of weapons pre- cluded any warlike demonstration oh the part of the visitors. Red ire on the street corners shed a brilliant light on the scene and showed the beautiful plush and satin costumes ot the knights to good effect. First came a carriage containing the chief officers of the caravan, followed by the chief of the brigands tA A. Long) who was mounted on milk white steed of sup posed Arabian lineage. The brigand chief presented an imposing appear anee. The royal vizier. (Esd Butt) and the grand emir (H. M. Willis) with their escorts, Brennan and Hooker, acted as guard to the venerable shiek, | (B. A. Fickas) who seemed well pre- served despite his supposed four score years. "Jack," (sol LevD the clown and general roustatout of the brigands, was in the procession. He was ssl- emnly drawn in little cart f,y & tsesC of biblical fasne-an ass-ws.e- -asI anythiuE lbillu bun pleased ho -u na9o ,9oAeo ea haul clown. 'o
 The knights formed r,t Monihon cor ner and marched up Washings on street te second street and back to the start .sng point. About every block the
 chief of the brigands would give vent to whoop that would be taken up by the rest of the brigands. What the cry was nobody but the initiated could
 understand It may have been meant
 for an intimidation or was intended as a shout of joy at reaching a haven of
 rest and refuge in the oasis after a 1 tlreless journey over the desert. At
 any rate not being conversant with the Arabian tongue, the slogan night nave meant anything for all anybody knew to the contrary.
 There were about forty brigands
 Knights and other dignitaries of un- pronounceable names in the ranks and alter the parade the caravan went tn their headquarters in the oasis. where several candidates were pressed into service, after which the rest of the evening was devoted to banqueting and good cheer. Thus ended the inl- posing entry of the Knights of Khor- assan into the oasis of Phoenix.

Talk of a Vigilance Committe to Force Terry's Slayer Out of
 California.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 7.-The re- port that the friends of Jas. H. Barry, who was assaulted by Dave Neagle Wednesday last, would organize vigilance committee to force Neagle to leave town had no foundation in fact. There is and has been for a long time a strong feeling adverse to Neagle, and it reached a point of ex- treme bitterness as soon as his attack on Barry became generally known. There has no effort been made to- wards an organization Of any kind with a view to ridding the town of his presence
 The first reports of his assault on Barry were colored considerably by eye witnesses of the affair There is no doubt, though, that Neagle sought an excuse to kill MT. Barry.
 A warrant was issued this morning for the arrest of David Neagle on a charge of battery. The complainant is A. J. Collins, a man Neagle recently assaulted for bothering the Southern Pacific officials with his alleged wrongs. It is stated by Neagle and his friends that James H. Barry is be- hind Collins. Z

HOG C0MBIN E"
Said to Have Made a Proposition to
Eugene na---Republicans of Kan
awha Almost Unanimous for a
New Deal.

Special to the Register.
Charleston, w. Va, May 13-An in
tensely interesting phase of the fight
between the Republican faction led by
Dana, Goshorn and others on the one
side, and what is termed the hog COM
bine" led by Staunton, Mcdonald and
others on the other. has just beea de-
veloped 1t is said that just as the
Kanawha delegation TO the StaCe con-
vention, which meets in Clarksburg to-
morrow, was leaving here yesterday,
the hog combine" made a proposition
to Col. Eugene Dana that they would go
to Clarksburg, take off their coats and
work for him and secure his election as
a delegate to the st. Louis convention
provided he will assure them that he
will refuse to call a county convention
in Kanawha TO nominate a county tick
ct and choose new county committee
in compliance with the numerous petit
tions that are coming in asking him TO
do so. 1t is evident that the Staunton
crowd are startled and appalled, by the
number Of Republicans in Kanawha
who are kicking against the action Of
the q antv committee and clamoring for
a new deal, and they see the necessity
of making some kind Of deal with
Dana that will avert the catastrophe
that county convention would preci-
pitate. Col. Dana had not accepted the
overtures of the hog combine" when
he left here yesterday, and the friends
of Bill Dave Goshorn are 10th to be-
lieve that he will prove treacherous to
the friends who have stood by him and
fought his battle against the Staunton
crowd for the honor of representing
the State in the st. Louis convention.
1t would be very unlike Col Dana, who
has heretofore been true to his friends,
and has acted honestly and honorably
in his political dealings. They say that
Dana is too big man to stoop to any
thing so mean and contemplate. But
in the event that Dana should prove
traitor to Goshorn and his friends by
refusing to issue call for a county con-
vention, it will be called, nevertheless.
The three thousand or more Republi-
cans in Kanawha who favor such a con-
vention will not be defeated by the
treachery of one man. They can find
another man to issue the call. 1t mat
ters very little to them who the man
shall be. So far something over 1900
names have been signed to the petition
for a call, and the names are still COM
ing in. 1t is likely that by next Satur-
day, when the call is to be issued. some
thing near $500 Republicans will have
signed the call, which will be about
two-thirds of all the Republicans in the
county. The friends of Bill Dave Gosh
orn have supreme confidence in their
leader. They say he has never yet been
beaten. and they expect him to. emerge
from the present fight triumphantly.
