Directors on a Trip.

The board OF directors of the Seaboard
Air Line met in extraordinary session
yesterday afternoon at Portsmouth. Va,
and left that city this morning for a
tour OF the road. There is much specu-
lation as 10 why a special meeting OF
directors should be called simply to
make a road inspection. It is thought
the trip over the line has to do with
contemplated improvements on a large
scale and to look over some smaller
lines in the Southern States which the
road desires to purchase.
The cal! for the meeting was issued by
telegraph. and bare majority was pres
ent when the meeting was called to or
der yesterday afternoon. President
Williams and Vice President Barr &C
companied the directors on the trip.
which will continue for several days.
The train conveying the inspection party
consists Of three private cars.
Among those at the meeting were II.
s Duval. OF New York. formerly presi-
dent OF the Florida Central and PENN
sula Railway. Mr.. Duval went to
attend the meeting % the directors Of

VERDICT or AcoUITTy.L.

In Bean Shooting Case-Counter Suits
 Against Serenaders Threatened.
 Suffield, July 3.-Amid one of the biggest and loudest demonstrations that the old town hall court room ever witnessed, Everett Sparks, farmer of West Suffield,. who fired beans into crowd of hoodlums bent upon serenad- ing his son just recently married, was acquitted of the charge against nm at 11:3O o'clock yesterday morning. Nearly everyone in the court room had at some time during the past two years suffered harm either personal or to their property, from, 1t IS said, the very same young men who sserenadedD MT Sparks. It is said that all those con cerned in the affair last Friday nlgnt are to be prosecuted.
 The story of the serenade was briefly told in Monday mornings Courant. A gang of about twenty-five young fel' lows went to MT Sparks's house on Friday night for the purpose of ''ser- enading" his son. They pounded large circular saws nailed up or tied all the doors of the house so that no one could get out, and tore down the clotheslines and fastened them to the Dl1lQS, W14lCA l1CJ oAoAAAASN 1"S~~ "~~NNN forth. When MT Sparks put in an ap- pearance the gang seized him, pulled his coat down over his head and smashed the lantern he held in his hand They broke glass in many of the windows, smashed carriage and did many other more or less serious in- iuries to his home. Mir Sparks had loaded a shotgun shell with beans in stead of bullets and before firing he gave the crowd warning that he was going to shoot. The crowd did not be- lieye him and when he fired Robert Gregg. one of the crowd, was hit by several of the beans. Gregg made a complaint and had Mr Sparks arrested. The trial which ended yesterday was continued from last Tuesday.
 MT Sparks and his lawyer, Hugh M. Alcorn, are in possession of the names of all the participants of that rough house" and say that all will be prose cuted, probably within a week. The names of the following as having par ticipated in the affair came out in court: Daniel Frost George Adams, John Adams, Russell Spear, his broth CT. Robert Gregg and one named Hayes. who said he lived in Massa- chusetts and who is said to have skipped town.
