CENTRAL.-[From the New York Tribune,
July II. 1t is understood that the two addi.
tional tracks now constructing for the New
York Central and Hudson River railroads
will be completed in October. The new tracks
are to be devoted especially to freight, and
henceforth the present long detentions will
he avoided. The running time will be re-
duced one-half, and freight which now re-
quires twenty-four hours between Buffalo
and Albany, and twelve hours from
Albany to New York, will be car
ried through at twice the present rate of
speed, and so accomplish the entire distance
in Is instead of Sc hours. An increased
safety and regularity of passenger trains will
also be secured. The New York Central
road has leased the Harlem Line. and that
and the Hudson River railroad will be con-
nected near Hudson By 4 short cross-road.
This will open direct line from Albany to
Hartford. Ten years ago the New York
Central carried 100000 passengers year,
rs against 100000 at present. It's freight
at the same time WAS 9, 15S, 900 tons per year
as against 4,500, 600 at present.

fore Mr.. John l.. Dawson, acting coroner, it
appears that the shooting was accidental, but
the fact that two shots were fred by john
son made it questionable whether the shoot
ing was accidental or not. The coroner's
jury, composed of twelve colored men, after
having listened attentively to all the evil
dence in the case. retired. and in few min
utes returned with the following verdict:
."The jurors sworn to inquire where, how,
aud by. what means the said Willis Smith
came to his death, upon their oaths do say
that the deceased came to his death BY q

volver in the hands of the prisoner, Am.
