Couple Were Travelling With "Flor.
ida Blossoms Aggregation;
Jealousy Attributed

Plant City, Jan. 3.-David Schaf-
fer. a negro, was carried to the coun-
ty jail in Tampa yesterday, and is
held awaiting disposition Of charge
OF murder, as the result of the death
Of bis wife, Bertha Mae Schaffer,
who was cut to death by him here
Sunday.
The couple were travelling with a
negro troupe known as the FLORIDA
Blossoms" and their car reached
Plant City Sunday by train which
also brought another colored aggre-
cation known as "Silas Green From,
New Orleans" The cars were set of
In the Atlantic Coast Line yard west
OF Evers street, about noon, but lat
er the Florida Blossoms" car was
switched to the Seaboard Air Line
yards, and was standing beside the
seaboard freight depot when tho
tragedy occurred. 1t is said that the
killing was due to jealousy on the
part OF Schaffer. who quarrelled with
his wife about her speaking to a
member OF the "Silas Green" troupe.
Efforts were made by members of the
company with whom Schaffer and
his wife were travelling to stop the
wrangle. but Schaffer was obstinate.
and before bystanders could prevent,
ne is alleged to have drawn a knife
and stabbed his wife in the heart.
She was stabbed in the breast and
also from the back, the incisions
forming an opening through the
body. The couple were in the car at
the time, but the woman ran out
and onto the platform Of the freight
house, where she fell. She died be-.
fore a physician could reach the
scene. A male member Of the troupe
suffered a slight wound in his ef-
forts to take the knife from Schaf
fer.
The negro did not make an effort
to escape. He was arrested a few
minutes later by Marshal J. A.,
Hampton, and Monday waived
hearing before Justice s. D. Addison,
Doing sent to Tampa to await action
by the grand jury. He told Marshal
Hampton that he did not remember
cutting his wife, but that he re-
membered being angry. He gave d.
rertions concerning the apparel he
wished used in the burial OF his wife

Ing to information secured by the
officers. The woman's mother lives
In Miami, and in response to a mes
sage sent her by the Marshal, she
directed that the body Of her daugh,
ter be embalmed and held awaiting
Instructions. The body was turned
over to Undertaken Kelley of Wells
& Sons Company. and was shipped to
Miami last night. Justice Addison
conducted an inquest, Schaffer being
charged with the crime.

Tragedy Sunday At Plant City;

that 1t did not know all about Gray,
and in second editorial 1t quoted
from an encyclopaedia about him. The
Times-Union was the only paper that
needed enlightenment. 1t is but jus.
tice to others that we take all the re-
sponsibility.
But we are consoled by the flood OF
information which flowed in from the
gulf to the lakes, from the Atlantic
to the Rio Grande. The Pacific coast
has not yet been heard from, a fact
that may be charged to the crowded
condition of the mails. OF course, we
have printed very few Of the letters
we received. Those printed only
served as specimens.
But the information we have re.
.ceived was perplexing. 1t was pretty
much like that which was sent to the
Register. There seems to be dis
pute as to whether the poem was
Gray's Elegy or Gray's Eulogy, and If
Elegy whether 1t should be spelled
Elegy or Elligy. There also is a dis
pute as to whether the poets name
was Gray or Grey, as both spellings
are used In letters written by ladies'
and gentlemen of culture both to the
Times Union and the Register. Not
even the time spent by the poet in
polishing his poem Is stated by all
alike. Some say eighteen years and
others say only seven. In either case
1t was not worth It. We would think
a writer who tried to spend even sew
en- years in polishing a poem would
starve before the first month ended.
None Of our kind friends has informed
us who fed Gray while he was polish.
ing. This is an important matter
about which many living poets would
like. to know unless the good Samari-
tan Is also dead.
The Chicago Tribune published the
editorial from the Times. Union and
found the people of the Windy city
so much interested that 1t republished
a part of 1t. Several men in Chicago
had heard Of Gray and told about him.
This discussion Of Mr.. Gray has
brought to light many things that give
pleasure. The willingness Of those
who are learned to share their infor.
nation with those not 80 fortunate is
gratifying and It is also pleasing to
realize the wide spread Of literary
attainments throughout this country.
It seems that one poem of Mr.. Gray's
has been read even in Chicago, where
people are not supposed to know any
thing except about hogs and sheep
and beeves. It Is possible that some
one may yet tell the Times Union of
something that Mr.. Gray wrote be.
sides his Elegy or Eulogy.

CASH REGISTER
ROBBED; YOUNG
MAN IS IN JAIL
Ferguson Made Two Visits to
Gardner Garage
MONEY AND CHECKS GONE
Alleged Daylight Burglar Arrested
After Attempting to Cash Stolen
Check at Local Bank.

A young man, who has given his
name as Richard G. Fergepson, was
arrested Wednesday afternoon by Of
fcer Richard Hurley on charge OF
burglarizing the cash register of Clar-
ence L. Gardner, proprietor Of the
Gardner Garage.
Fergergon came TO Bennington
Tuesday from North Adams with a
horse and wagon which he left at the
Cone livery. During the afternoon he
was at the Gardner garage and sup
posedly as a result OF his visit Mr..
Gardner was shy $21 from the cash
register Mr. Gardner had no clue
as 10 the guilty party
Early Wednesday afternoon the
stranger again appeared at the garage
claiming it was for the purpose of
telephoning. While Fergerson was at
the phone Mr. Gardner was called out
side to sell gasoline and before his
return the young man had disappear
ed, taking with him eleven dollars in
cash. check for $34 and another
check for Sl5 from the garage regis
te'
He succeeded in getting the larger
check cashed at the Carroll restau-
rant but was refused cash at one of
the banks on the other check. The
bank had been informed o. the bur
giary and retained the check.
This aroused Fergerscn'g suspicious
and he hurriedly sought the street.
Although very alert he was soon run
down by Officer Hurley who in the
meantime. had secured the checks.
Officer Hurley has learned that the
horse and wagon were stolen from q
livery Ia North adams and that Fer
gerson not long ago was accused OF
stealing q horse and wagon from a
Hoosick Falls livery and sold il to
parties In North Adams.

of age. but looks much younger. and
IS from Louisiana He confessed this
morning to taking the money from
