A QUEER CASE OF SUICIDE.
DR.. George Center, Of Jacksonville,
Blows Out His Brains.

His Medical Practice Unsatisfactory
and His Attempt at Tobacco Raising
Improbable - Dependency Then
Drove Him to Suicide-His Wife
Once in an Asylum-She Tells an
Amusing Story of the Tragedy.
jacksonville Fla, Jan. s.-Dr. George
Center, a prominent physician of this
county, committed suicide at o'clock
this morning at his home on Cedar creek,
six miles from the city.
DIR. Center has been a practicing ply
sician in this county for several years.
His Office was in the city up TO a few
months ago. Business became so dull
that he determined to move out to the
country place Of his wife and raise to-
baccO. His crops were not a success and
he became involved in debt and dis
couraged. The worry drove him to
suicide, After eating breakfast the doc
tor walked out on the front porch of his
residence and a few minutes after reach
ing there blew out his brains.
HIS WIFE ONCE IN AN ASYLUM.
The Doctors first wife died and he
married, within three months. a Mrs.
King. Mrs. King, at the time of her
marriage to DR.. Center, had been out Of
the Georgia lunatic asylum only few
months. Soon after her release from the
asylum the unfortunate woman gave
long story to the press, relative to the un-
business of her incarceration and the hor-
rible way she was treated there. This
story was reproduced in the Georgia pa
pers and resulted in an investigation by
Gov. Northen, the result of which inves-
tigatiOn was substantially a denial that
Mrs. King had been treated badly.
MAKING COMEDY OUT OF TRAGEDY.
Mrs. Center is very eccentric in manner
and speech, and her story of the suicide
and the events Immediately preceding it,
would be laugha BILE but for the tragedy
involved. She says that the doctor arose
in a cheerful mood and aided her to make
her toilet. She says that he assisted her
to put on her stockings, remarking as he
did so, Here, dear, let me put on your
little stockings to keep your precious feet
from the floor"
LEFT HER TO GET BETTER MAN.
The following letter was left by the
doctor for his wife;
January g, 1894.
My Own Lula-This farm life in Florida is
too much OF a drag for me, hence l leave you
70 get a better man for yourself You are the
best, purest and most noble woman l ever
knew, and am doing you a favor in going to
the unknown, so that you will be free to enjoy
life as you should Do not she'd a tear over
me, for l am unworthy of your future atten-
ton. Do not expect to revive me by getting
medical help, for will take enough opium 20
allay all pain and Georges pistol will do the
final work. Adieu my best and only friend.

necessary.

A Dollar a Quart the Price of Those on
Sale on SATURDAY..

Tampa, Fla, Jan. S.-The first straw
berries of the season were on sale Satur-
day at 81 per quart. They we've very
fine, large ones, and were raised by Mrs.
N. ID. Smith, on Florida avenue, of this
city. The strawberry industry of South
Florida is increasing yearly, and hun
dreds have begun raising this delicious
fruit for the northern market, one gentle
man having in one acre marketed berries
to the amount of 81 900 the second year
after setting out his plants.
The Tampa Bay hotel force mas been
enlarged by an addition of fifty bell boys,

leading hostelries of the city. Quite a
number of guests have arrived, and others
are expected as the tourist season ad-

The phosphate industry is assuming
large proportions and as soon as the new
Tampa and Thonotosassa railroad is COM
pleted, large fields will be opened to mine
owners, who will begin active operations
at once. Large consignments are being
shipped by every outgoing steamship.
The merchants report a splendid bust

an end
