In mine accidents II has often hap.
pened that rescuer were bafflcd and
lives were sacrificed because the exact
whereabouts of the imperiled men

NEW ENGLAND CONSCIENCE.

Said q drummer visitor miss NJ. Il.
Boyd to q young widow-a seam
stress-in a New Hampshire hill town,
one day last summer: "You must be
lonely here now since your husband
died. Perhaps you will feel like mar
rying again; you are not so very old"
"Oh, Miss Mary she answered in a
voice full Of feeling, III I only could
II I only dared!" And then came the
simple story and a touching example
of 1.-The New England consciencek
She had loved in early youth a young
man whom her mother disapprovsd as
= sutton. He raj a joiner by trade
and worthy. but the mother. having
higher ambitions. separated the cou-
pie. The girl married a quiet man,
her senior. who died a few years later.
Then. after a decent interval, the old
lover, who had thriven in business,
asked her again to become his wife.
That seemed a beautiful and natural
ending Of the story. But no. "Ah!,,
cried the poor thing. III I had loved
my husband ! could go to James with
a happy heart-oh, how happy! BNt
although things were pleasant enough
between my husband and me. I always
felt the difference and at heart I was
u%nfaithful to him. I think this IL
meant for my punishment for think
Ing OF James while ! had o husbaMI
living. We can never marry."-Buf-

ED HOOKS ON TRiSI FOR LIFE.
Killed Amos Jackson in Cold BIoo,,
Last Year.

Aasuu
The first murder case taken up i
this term of Sumter superior court was
entered upon Yesterday when Ed
Hooks faced iuryin a trial for his life
for the killing of another negro, Amos
Jackson.
This case took up the entire after
noon session of court.
Hooks it will be remembered, shot
Amos Jackson to death in cold blood
last ear while the latter was atwork in
the field. The deed appeared to be
without provocation,
The negroes had been engaged in a
slight war of words whereupon Hooks,
complaining of being sick, went to a
house half a mile away. borrowed a
shotgun and six shells and returning
to the field pumped lead into Jackson
until dead.
Jackson was unarmed, expecting no
attack, and made every effort to es-
cape from his slayer.
Determinedly Hooks pursued him,
shooting and reIoading the gun as he
ran until Jackson, from his wounds
and loss Of blood, fell in the field a
3rpse.
Hooks is very bright mulatto. He
appeared cool and collected during the
trial, evidencing little interest IN what
went on about him. He was ably de
Tended by Col. James r Williams,
while Solicitor General Hooper con-
Quoted the prosecution.
The jury quickly returned verdict
of guilty, with recommendation to life
impris onment, and Hooks will spend
his remaining days in the mines.
