Dirty or THE COMPANIES.

Justice GaynOr Is exactly right In his state
ment Of the duties OF the Brooklyn sirect-rail-
way companies. In the mandamus issued by
him Yesterday he plainly declares that the cor
poratIons may not like private individuals, sus-
pend business at pleasure. but that they hold
publIc franchises and nay not cease to perform
their duty as public carriers for one hour
through any motive Of personal gain. II Is
their business TO get labor on such terms as
they can and run their cars. If their men Will
not work at what they regard as reasonabl"
wages. they must get others Immediately and
give satisfactory service, or else make the best
bargain they can with the old employees. 1t will
not do for them to plead that they cannot afford

Misleading statements have been published re-
garding an increase Of wages by the Brooklyn
Elevated Railroad Company. AS matter OF
fact. there has been no general advance in wages,
although the pay Of firemen has been restored to
the former figure; but the company has shown
disposition to pay its men literally for the extra
work they have been required to do during the
strike on the surface lines. This policy is conf
mendable: IT is a practical illustration OF proht-
sharing which Is worthy Of imitation. This eie-
waited road makes a fine showing compared with
the grinding and bullying policy pursued by the
trolley companies,

farmers begin to comprehend that
they will be the chief benefciaries

enhance the value of their lands by
increasing the profits of their work.

But the average farmer is too sensi-

Bitten by a Mad bod.

Yesterday train No. IA brought
MesSrs. G. W. Barnes and VIM. H..
Shafferman to this city from New
burg, w. Va. Mr.. Barnes is en-
ployed as an engineer by the Balti-
more and Ohio railroad company,
and while oiling his engine at about
2 o'clock yesterday morning at the
above named place, was attacked by
a mad dog. When Mr.. Barnes saw
the brute approaching he swung his
lighted torch around so as to
brighten the animal, but at that
moment the brute caught his hand
between its teeth, cutting the flesh
to the bone. Mr.. Barnes sought
the attention of a physician, fearing
the dog was suffering from hydrop-
hobia, and had the wound cauteri-
zed.
Mr.. Sbafferman, who is also en-
ployed by the Baltimore and Ohio
as supervisor Of track on the third
division, was shortly after attacked
by the maddened brute and before
he could defend himself he received
a severe and painful bite in the leg.
Mr.. Shafferman also had his inju-
rles cauterized. The dog was finally
killed and was found to be frothing
at the mouth.

III alleges he was employed to do.
That work was, in the language of
the order already referred to, "to
trace up and compile book of alb
stracts Of titles of all
unassessed lands, etc." 1t is al
legged in the declaration that the
lands in question were vacant and
IN the possession of no one. How
then could they be subject to taxa
ton? The names Of the owners and
the extent of their respective hold
lngs had to be ascertained before
assessment could be properly and
fairly made. Indeed the reassess-
ment could not be legally made
at all until the names of the owners
had been ascertained, for section
two OF article eighty one of the code
requires all property to be valued
TO tie Oscner thereof, and section
twenty-three of the same article
makes it the duty of the county
commissioners to make an accurate
and fair account of all property of
every sort within their county and
the valuation thereof and an alpha
betical list of the 0wners thereof,

searches of the land records of Gar
