From the Binghamton N. ~ Herald.
The luxurious facilities supplied by
standard railroads have been a revela-
ton in the lines Of enterprise and 40
quirement of comfort and style. The
spirit Of improvement and consideration
for the travelling public has carried
with 1t swift contagion. Steamboat
lines have promptly realized the value
Of up-to-d date appointments. The new
steamer New York, just completed at
Buffalo for the American line service to
Montreal, In connection with the New
York Central & Hudson River railroad,
Is a practical demonstration of this
spirit. The prominence and popularity
Of her route-down the rapids Of the
st. Lawrence river-will make a des-
cription Of this beautiful steamer par
ticularly interesting. Being 100 feet
long and Of "A feet beam, she is Of the
full size possible for the canal locks
used upon the return voyage. Her

plainly the way in which he had been

ADVERSE to Luetgert. Judge Gary
wheeled sharply in his chair as the
iprymen entered and watched them
silently as they filed INTO their seats.
Then he spoke in his calm, even tone:
Gentlemen, have .rou agreed upon a
verdict?
1--WE have" was the reply.
"Mr. Clerk, read the verdict" said
Judge Gary.
Clerk Knopf stepped forward and
took the verdict, and then read It with
tremor OF excitement in his voice;

his punishment at Imprisonment for

the case, gave signs Of satisfaction.

not died away when Atty. Harmon was

be polled. This was done, each juror
affirming the verdict. Then Mr.. Har-
mon entered motion for new trial,
which was entered and will be argued
within few days,
Luetgert was led back to the jail in
apparently good spirits and comforted
by the assurance of his lawyers that he
will get new trial and that the state
will not be able to convict him a sec
ond time.
After the announcement OF the YER
diet and polling Of the jury Luetgert
was Immediately surrounded by a
crowd of reporters and friends eager
TO hear his first words.
He said: The verdict is a surprise

From the time when the prisoner
was led in TO hear the verdict until

tremor of any sort OF emotion.
The jury reached a verdict on the

took it's first ballot at $40. 1t was
unanimous for conviction Some lit

the punishment to be inflicted, but
this was settled by $50 and then the
jurors sat around in their room until

General Miles had expected to start
for Tampa last night, but delayed his
departure until Saturday night, the
President desiring to have the benefit
of his advice in the meantime. 1t is
understood, however, that the presence
of General Miles at Tampa is not es-
sential to the departure of troops from
that point, although in case an invasion
of either Cuba or Porto Rico is begun
this week General Miles intends to
hurry after the expedition in a fast
warship which the navy will place at
his disposal.
RumOrs are especially persistent that
actual military operations in the West
Indies will begin before June 1st, and

the chances of an invasion directed

is ahead of the Presidio, but it also
lacks some of the conveniences that the
soldiers had become accustomed to AT
their first camp.
Colonel Berry said that it would take
day at least to get his command set
tied down into their new quarters and
in working shape. Owing to the limited
space of the camp, guard mounting Will
have to be done in the streets. while
for drill grounds the soldiers will have

found in the Office, and evidently one
of these had been used to break the

At about 1880 o'clock last night Mr..

he discovered nothing wrong.

would indicate that two or more men

The booty secured was probably only
few hundred dollars, since some Of
