A dispatch from Burlington gays "The sentence of 30 days attendauces npon lhe meetings of the Temperance Rescue Organization. Passed by Nj sgis- trate Smith upon Charles Burr, ex- pires on Saturday, when Burr will be given his di.charge papers. This will end one of the most novel sentences ever imposed by justice in this or any other country. Burr. who has been frequently charged with drunk enness, was arraigred four weeks ago, while tue Temperance Rescue Organ izstion was holding 6 revival. The magestrste was unwilling 10 imprison him, but sentenced him to attend thirty revival services, wi h the alter native Of spending one day in jail for every service which he fai'ed 10 attend. Burr has been in charge or Dr. Dendi-, the manager of the mission, rince his ntencs, and the latter has ds,ly dosed him with a medical preparation that ne thinks has cured ilis appetite for drink.

The Leap Year dance given by the Tombstone Stars, last evening, q. Mining Exchange Hall, was most enloyAbls leap year dance. IL was an ultra social triumph, dazzling in the brilliancy of Tombstone's beautiful women. who had charge exercised the privilege of lea? gear festivities. The ladies had comrlete arrangements for an evening of delightful pleasure, but at the fast moment they realized that their music had failed them; soms kink had occurred in the procee iings. as It were, and the band dId not ma terislize. But the Stare, as in the case with the Stag, were equal 10 the emergency. and piano was secured and by willing hands placed in D. sition, Q. which Mrs. Whit presided, and Mi Laura Crabls made her debut as viOlinist, and Mr. Land manipu- lated the guitar while Mrs. Wm. King and Miss Nellie Cls k also sc- quilted themselves wih credit. Mrs. Harwooi was fl ,or manager and filled the position to the 1usen's taste.
 All things being now ready, the word was given 10 select partners for a wsltz, the grand march being omitted. The Isdis. were jIst n little bashful at first, but soon Ii " all found partners, the music started up, tie whirl con- mencei and everything worked as smooth as clocS work. Next came a sch 3tti.clie and then a quaGrllle and so on until II o'clock, when supper was announced. This was a trying nomen. for the blu hing young men who qIie:ly remained in their seats until their partners cam, 10 the least. There were whispering, iittsr.ng and sid, glances galJrA, but finally all were supplied with escorts ani rush was made e the ;ah!e-, which were bounti- fully supplie ] with all the good things imaginable - cake, coffee and tes sandsiche-, pi, \, .tc., more than tn. company could possibly consume; an hour was plessantly spent in discuss ing the events c: ;he evening, receiy. ing propn-als-wtich of crur-e were very unexpected and required um- for consideraiion-vhen the dance was resumed and kep, up until the wee .ms' hours"

Ex-NTayor Pcnrson's Explanation OF What
Happened to Him While Hunting.

ALLEGHENY. Pa, Nov. 2I.-Dick Pearson,
eX-NlayOr of the city. cane hone from n hunt
ing trip In n used-up condition last week. Ie
has not yet got through OK planning 10 v I: all
happened, and rs he repeats the story the Same
way every time he tells it, MS constituency has
concluded that he is telling the truth.
When he stepr ed of the train after a weeks
hunt in Washington county II was seen that
lie was in bad shape. Nothing more savage
than n gray squirrel nr n rabbit haunts the
fields. yet he carried his gun strapped over his
shoulder, ono arm was bandaged and in n
sling, n scar EIacod his forehead. his hat let in
the sunshine and tho rain. and the rim was
torn Off half way round. HIS game 6nG, how
ever. was what caught tho eye; 1t bu!eed out
fat and saucy. and from tho opening could he
seen tips of wings and legs.
Mayor Pearson had II fight with two vicious
birds, so he explained. He had had n fair
days sport. and was returning to the farm
house when he csp!fd n gray squirrel. IIo
took hin, fired. and tEe squirrel toppled over
into a bush. The Mayor lcisurcly trniled his
gun and walked toward the bush. when Il big
black hawk swoopcd past him into the bush
and caught the squirrel by tho napc OF the
neck and began TO ny away win i:
and fired. The bird dropped the squirrel and
left wing had been shot. through, hut 1t was
still game. it made Z dash at Pearson. and
struck II vicious blow at the back of his hand.
cutting n deep cash, Tile Mayor was TOO sur
prised and panied u act. anu ne locked at his
hand, then at the hawk, which had gained n
bougL on a tree and watched him with n wicked
eye, all tie time tuckcring his Wounded wing.
The, Mayor finally loaded his gun and lifted 1t
10 take aim. The hawk, d~iyinins his inten.
tion. screamed and flew AZ him. Instead Of
firing. the Mayor dubbed his gun to ward the
bird OF. The hawk dashed at him several
times, hut weakened by the loss cf blood 10
finally lAUped its LETT wing painfully, and
landed al, fhe foot nf the t"2c. The Mayor
Inally, picked up IL stick and struck the hawk,
knocking II over.
AS the Mayor gathered himself together to
walk away with the hawk and SQUIRREL. he
heard a whir. and saw smother hawk swoop-
ing down on him; He had Just time 70 make a
swish at the, bird with his lat. The hawk

aged 20 hit u n lick with the barrel of his gun.
the hawk wns game, and fought harder thnn
It's deal mate. 1t crt the cash over his eye,
ana neckeu him In several places on the arms,
leaving blue marks. Pearson finally got q
decent .swipe At II with his gun, and u was all
over with the hawk. In hir anger the Mayor
wrMng. Its neck and was sorry pr IL aftcrward.
The Mayor certainly had a fight: He carried
the trophies In his game bag and the wounds
on h1 psrson to show it.
