HUNTING A BEAR IN JERSEY'S CAPITAL Bruin Roams in Fashionable Cadwalader Park and Dodges a Posse WHERE IS HE FROM? Animal Is Seen Almost Daily and Women and Children Are Afraid to Enter Park Special to The Inquirer. TRENTON, fert. 2. Residents of West State street and Cadwalader place, the swell section of the city, are much concerned over the appearance of a large black bear in the neighborhood of Cadwalader Park. Chief of Park Police Benjamin Sholes and a posse of fifty citizens have been quietly searching since Monday evening for the bear.

The men are all armed, some with guns, knives and other weapons, but so far their search has been in vain. When Bruin made its first appearance on Monday he was seen by half a dozen people and every night since he has been seen in the same locality. Al though the bear is said to be as large as a full grown man, he has, not made an attack on any one. Johnnie Feehan and Willie Hutton, two small boys, yesterday aliernoon saw the animal go into a barn and, mistaking it for a dog, started to go into the barn, when an older brother of one of the boys stopped him. When the word was passed around that the bear was in the barn a crowd gathered from a nearby base ball field, but no one had the courage to go into the barn.

While the crowd stood talking the bear quietly went out by a back door and he has since managed to keep out of the way. Every day the bear has been seen by several persons and the scare has become so great that the women and children of the town are "iving the park a wide berth and the State's incorrigible girls of the Industrial School, which adjoins the park, have been warned to stay close to the buildings. It is thought by some that the animal is one that escaped from the Park menagerie seven years ago. It was then a cub that had been presented to the park by E. C.

Hill. It was thought at the time that the bear made its way to Sourland Mountains, in Hunterdon county. Others think the bear came down the river during a freshet and was landed on the river bank near the park. MYSTERY OF A HAT BOX Contains a Letter Which Hints at Suicide Special to The Inquirer. ATLANTIC CITY, Sept.

2. The police are wrestling with a mystery which is supposed to involve a story of broken hearts and possible suicide. Early last month a large hat box came to the Hotel Elberon addressed to Mrs. S. L.

Schwarz. Proprietor Ludy laid the box aside. It was forgotten until last night, when it was found by accident. As no person named Schwarz had been at the hotel this summer Dr. Ludy opened the box and- found that It contained a woman's hat and a note Inclosed in a small confectionery box, which also contained a bunch of faded forget-me-nots.

On the outside of the smaller box was written "To be opened after my death. Mayme G. Schwarz." The letter was encased in a blue envelope, on which was written, "To be put in my casket when I am gone. Life is over for me from this moment." The note read as follows: "Good-bye, my all in this world. Don't forget your last words.

Never come again. Yours all the time kissing, Louia." The box had first been addressed to Long Branch, the name of that place being crossed out and Atlantic City substitnted. There was also a canceled label from Norfolk, bearing- the name of C. S. Hosier.

Besides the articles mentioned there were eight receipted hotel bills, five from the Savoy, New York, receipted by J. M. Collins, and three from the Waldorf-Astoria receipted by Palmer, cashier. The bills were for weekly accounts, two of tnem Demg aatea April 21 and June 1, 1S98, respectively. A date on the outside of the box, July 11, 1898.

New York, shows that the -package came direct from that city, as it was received here the next JERSEY'S PASSING REGIMENTS The First Coming to Sea. Girt to Be Mustered Out Special to The Inquirer. TRENTON. Sept. 2.

It Is expected that under the order from Washington the First Regiment, will. be. mustered out within a few days. The regiment left Camp Alger to-night, and will arive at Sea Girt tomorrow, morning. It will be encamped just west of the Fourth Regiment until the muster out takes place.

The Third will no donbt be mustered out of service at Pomptoa Lake next week. This leaves the Second and Fourth Regiments in the field, and as the War Department has asked for two regiments from New Jersey they will have to remain In the service. It is understood that married men are to be given honorable discharges, and that all the single men must stay in the service for two years. This will produce great dissatisfaction, for there are many single men who want to get back to their homes. Unless present plans are changed, the Fourth Regiment will be.

Considerable III feeling was aroused to-day by the arrival of fifty Italians to work in one of the canning factories here. The introduction of Italian labor is due to a strike in this cannery during last season's tomato pack. The proprietors stated then that they wouid never give the strikers any more work, even if they had to import labor. Since the establishment of the several canneries here only residents of this town and vicinity have been given employment. The women and children hereabouts have depended largely on this work for money to purchase necessary supplies for the fall nud winter.

They will suffer if their places are taken by the Italians. An effort was made to bring Italians here nt the time of the strike last season, but they were unable to secure a building to live in. and no one would take them in. This difficulty has been met by the owners of the cannery erecting a building especially for their occupation, where they unloaded their trunks and baggage to-day. With the exception of about a half dozen men the party was made up of women and girls.

Residents of the town threaten to" run the Italians out of town if they are put to work, and trouble is feared.

When the soldiers began to help themselves to the melons the guard opened tire on them. One man was slightly injured, while the rest of them made good their escape by swim ming iveweii creek and wading through about three miles of drowned marsh. The men were given a hearing this morning by Colonel Glenn, who discharged all those not directly connected with the raid. As camp will be broken to-morrow morning punishment was suspended.
