FIRED BEANS AT SERENADERS.
Farmer Sparks Tried and Acquitted Amid
Yells OF Approval.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, July 3.What lie
known as the West Suffield serenading band
Of young men undertook to serenade young
Sparks, son of Everett Sparks, n farmer of
that town. last Friday night when the
young man and his bride returned from
their wedding trip.
Farmer Sparks told the band of twenty
five to clear out or he would put some buck
shot into them. The seernaders then
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 clothes
lines and fstened them to the blinds, which
they slammed back and forth.
Again Farmer Sparks appealed to the
crowd to go home and not annoy the bride
and bridegroom further. The gang seized
him, pulled his coat over his head and
smashed the lantern he carried. They
smashed the panes in number Of windows,
wrecked carriage and did other damage
to the premises.
Mr.. Sparks, after he had made his escape,
went into the house, got down his old gun
and loaded 1t with beans. Then he fred
into the crowd and hit Robert Gregg, who
had the farmer arrested.
Last night Farmer Sparks was tried in
the town hall and the place was filled with
farmers. The neighborhood has been terri
rified by this serenading band When the
Judge let Sparks go the yell Of approval
from the citizens In the courtroom could
be heard a mile away. Half a dozen OF the
wedding serenaders will be arrested for
damage to property.

SCORE GUSTAVESON'S METHODS.
hut CITY investigators Don't Find That
He Benefited by ArmOry Contracts.

After several weeks Of investigation into
the charges made by Comptroller Circuit
against John p. Gustaveson, the suspended
secretary of the Armory Board, the Com
missioners Of Accounts submitted their
report to the board yesterday. Gustaveson
was accused by the Comptroller OF giving
contracts for armory repair work to his
brother, Henry 7. Gustaveson, who con-
tracted with the city under the name Of
Henry Day & CO.
The report practically sustains all Of the
charges made by Mr.. Grout, and it was
added that Gustaveson conducted the
business of his Office in "a loose, irregular
and most unsystematic manner" While
the report states that inquiry failed to
find that Secretary Gustaveson was in any
way connected with the firm of Henry
Day Il Co.." or that be personally bene-
flied by the contracts given TO that firm.
IL was asserted in the report that in at least
two instances the bids Of Henry Day 4 Co"
we're not bona fide. The report went on
to show that contracts for repairs at the
armories were given apparently to favored
individuals.
l.. Latin Kellogg, in addressing the board
on behalf Of Gustaveson, said that his client
had been innocent OF any intentional wrong
doing.
There is evidently some motive behind
these charges" said Mr.. Kellogg, "forhl
have never seen such illustrations Of wanton
perjury as were committed by some of
the witnesses at the hearings held by the
Commissioner Of Accounts.
Don't you think Mr.. Glstaveson treated
this board very shabbily In allowing his
brother to do work for the board under
an assumed name?" asked the Mayor.
Mr.. Kellogg. replied that the firm Of
Henry Day h Co. had right to do
business under that name, even though
il hid the identity Of its members. The
only illegality that had been found, he
commended. was in not filing a certificate
with the County Clerk. Not taking the
board into his confidence regarding his
brothers business was merely an error
OF Judgment on the part Of Gustaveson.
Mr.. Kellogg asked for time to examine
will not be taken on the charges until

ROCHESTER,, July 3.-Numerous letters
have been received by the Rochester Cham
Der OF Commerce since its call was issued

est language.
Senator Merton F.. Lewis Is one Of the

canal project. He admires the stand THE
Sun has taken in Opposing barge canal.
He says
THE articles The sun has been printing

Senators John Raines, Albert 7: Fancher.
Elon r. Brown, lothian p. Aids, Edwin
c. Stewart, George II. Malby, Frederick

ing point Of view will be George W. Rafter,
who has been a consulting engineer for
the State and has been engaged in many
large projects, and j Y McClintook, e1-
