DROOU.YN , Jan. 24.-Jiastke Gaynor ot
Urn IUllremo court hlmle , ! down his leelslon
on the pplcaton of Joseph Loader for a
mamamus to comllol the Brooklyn Heights
; railroad : to operate Its cars In sufficient num-
r bors to accommodate the traveling public on
7 ( the I'-ulon street , Putnam avenue , Greene
and Gates , 1:11 the Tompkins avenue hues.
10 signifies his Intention at granting a man-
, daniis , the form to be letermlne,1 on the
argument of counsel tn court tomerrow.
.
. Louler : , upon whose applcton the writ
ot manlamus Is Issued , ts a merchant who
f ; ; alleges that his business suffers by reason
, . ot' the failure of the company to operate Its
- '
lines.
I ; Justice Gaynor's decision Is as follows :
. "it Is my duty to declare the law of this
: case. This railroad , corporation Is not In the
' ! , . position of a mere private individual or com-
'pony carrying on business for private gaIn
: which may suspenl business temporarily or
[ permanently at pleasure On the contrary II
, has a dual relation : a public relation to the ,
people of the state and a private one to its
stockholiers , I must not be forgotten here ,
- thoulh It may seem 10 bc almost If not
Wholly forgotten elsewhere , that In Its chief
aspect ) I Is a public corporation having du.
" ties to perform to the public which transcend
any obligation which In Its private aspect II
. owes to Its stocleholders I has received
franchises of great value from the state and
land conferred upon I the state's transcend-
. eat power of elinent douimain. In return II
took upon Itself the performance Qr public
. lutes and functions In the performance or
. which I Is In effect nol In indopandent . In-
dtvhlnal or entirety. but time accountable
_ aguit of the state. Though the principles
arc old and Inherent In the Idea of the sov-
, . erelgnty of the people II would seem that In
the recenl rapid growth of corporate power
and at the tendency to use public ' franchises
for the aggrandlseDent of Inil'jluals first
: and _ _ _ for " the , _ service , uu and . benef or the . publIc
. D""unu , Lney nave cOle to ue somewHat over-
looked and need ! to be restated.
"rhey have often been declared by thc
hIghest courts of this state and the supreme
, court or the United States.
, FlS'r DUTY IS'TO THE PUI3LIC.
"Tho duty of the company now before the
, ' court Is to carry passengcrs through certain
_ streets of Brooklyn and t furnish , lan anti
: operate cars enough to fuly accommodate
accommolate
( ' , - the public. I may nol lawfully cease to
C perform that duty for even one hour. The
) directors of a , prIvate busIness company may ,
" . actuatei by private greed or motives of prl-
t : vate gain , stop and refuse to "mploy labor
, . at all unless labor comes own to their con-
: r \1tons , however distressing , for such are
f ' . . the existIng hJgal , IndustrIal and social con-
, ditlons. But time dIrectors of raIlroad
dltons. tdIrectors a rairoad cor-
: poratlon may nol do the like. They arc accountable -
, . countable to the public first and to their
h stockholders second. They have dutes to
I. the public to perform and they must perform
. tbem. I they cannel get labor to perform
such dutIes nt what pay they otTer ; then
they must pay more and as much as Is nece- -
, . sary to gel It. _
. "LikewIse , If the conditIons In respect of
, hours or otherwise which ,
I they impose re-
pel labor they must adopt more lenIent or
- just conditions. They may not stop theIr
cars for one hour , much less one week or one
year thereby to beat or coerce the prIce or
; _ conditions of labor down to the price or
conditions they offer. For them to do so
would be a defiance of law and of govern-
meat , which , becoming general would In- I
cvlably , by time force of example , lead to
; t- general disquiet 10 the disIntegration of the
social order and even the downfal of the
governmenl itself. Experience shows the
wisdom of our fathers In retaining at least
some control of corporations to whom are
given publc franchises for the performance
of public duties.
"The law of thIs case was too clearly stated
cenry
by Justice Cuter to bo misunderstood In
' an application simiar to this I few days ago
' That learned judge held that time company
- had made no adequate answer to the case
I presented ' against I , and only wIthheld the
. granting of the writ to give the company
more tIme to conform to the law which he
so clearly enunciated. probably In the reason-
, nllll scope that would sulco wihout I re-
sort to coercive power of time people of the
state lodged In the court. In addition , } IW-
h ever , I shall quote from a case decided upon
, , by the Bupreme court In this cIty In 1883
' after mature deliberation and which Is an
authority which 1 am bound to follow even
. though 1 were not of the same vIew , and
I
wblch , I need scarcely say , the corporation
, now before this court Is bound 10 acquiesce
, In , and which I doubt not will certainly ac-
( lUlesco In for example's sake If for no other
reason. The case arose out of the failure
t. . of the New York Central & hudson RIver
. Railroad compnny to receive and forward
<
f' freight al n common carrier. "

"In one aspect of time cue there Bema to

CONTINUE TO CUT TROLLEY WIRES.
Matters were comparatvely qulcl en the
Third and I lth avenue roads toin ) ' . The
wires between Sixty-fifth and Sixty-sixth
streel were cui oil after midnight , and as
a conseqnence the electric lights In the depot
wenl out , Itavlng Captain There and liis
detachment ot time Twenty-third regiment In
total elarkneRs. The wires were not repaired
until 10 o'clock. when traffic was resumell ,
amid al midday thirty cars were running , ns
against twenty yesterday. The foremnn sahl
he was unnblo to operate I greater number
as some tf the new men had been transferred
to Green Point. During the night and early
morning thin full strength of the Twenty-
third regiment , wIth the exception of companies -
panics P , G ami K , was placed cn duty along
the road to Flntbush avenue. At 1 o'clocle
the polce on duty al Twenty-filtim street all
Third avenue had I lively lme putting an
end to a riot which had broken out there.
Abut eighty persons colected at this poInt
and jeered the soldiers who were under arms
there. ' The mob continued Increasing until
noon , when a steno was hurled by one of
the crowd . strIking I imoiicenman. This was
followed by several others and then time
polco and militia charge The mb rushed
along the avenue and Into the side streets.
Many ' of them received bayonet thru ts from
the mitamen , whie the clubs ef the polIce-
men were used wlh telng effect upon the
, heals of the rlolers. The police arrested
John Tighe , Charles Burlc amid Stephen Gnn-
non. When conve'lng them to the staten
the crowd attacked them amid endeavored to
< enleayore <
rescue the prisoners. AYter n desperate con-
filet , during which more stones were thrown
and blows struck on both sl < es. the three
slrl throwers were loclled up
Al Twenteth street and Ninth avenue the
strikers during last nlghl cut down the
feed wires , return wires and support wires
as far 'as Flatbu.h avenue , a distance 01 ,
over a mile. The feed wire on ' ruventietim I
< 'fwimteth
sheet , between Seventh and Eighth avenues ,
was also destroyed. The wires at FIfteenth
streel and Second avenue were cut down
early In the morning A number of trolley
cars stood at Ninth avenue , which were
wrecked and rendered unfl for use.
_ ALMOST DUnNED OUT A DYNAMO.
The most serious. attempt to prevent the
running of cars over the Third avenue line
was made nt Sixty-ffh street and Third
avenue , where a plot to burn out the d-
nnmos In the depol was nearly successful.
I was evidently the work of skied elec-
trlcians ' The wires were cut and guy ropes :
were attached to them , by which they were :
drawn down and grQunied on the posts of
the elevated road. The scheme was : how-
ever , discovered In lQle to frustrate the
plnn.
The line men on the Atlantic avenue road
struek. This aet and the lack of passengers
prevented the management from running
the Se\enth anti Ninth avenues and Ee\enth
street cars at all today. Militia In the
various dellots expressed themselves as
fairly well satisfied with their trentment , but
cit appeared desirous that the strIke should
soon termlnnte and allow them to return
to their homes.
Al Fifteenth nnd Thirtieth avenues two
women haied a Fih avenue car. When It
stopped they boarded It. They then drew
pistols from their shawls and ordered tile
conductor anti motorman to stop worle. The
men leaped from the car and left the invaders -
vader In possession. One of the crowd then
started the car , jumping off before It gained
much hea < way. 'Vhen the car passed the
stables at Twenty-fourth street II was trav-
cling at a high rate of spee < . One of the
men standing there : otced the car was running -
nlng wild and jump aboard the rear platform -
form anti soon had . . at a standstill . One
gang of Htrliers p.Hemptel } to pull time mo-
torman off his platform , but hI fought them
off. Hevas very roughly used In the
scrImmage amid hnl his jaw broken.
President Norton says so far as time At-
lantc Avenue company Is concorimed , the
strike Is at an cud , for ho has alt the motor-
men nnll conducturs for whom there are
places. There has , however , been some inconvenience -
convenience on the lines by time cuttIng ef
wires. A new device to impede the opera-
ton or time railways was adopted at Bergen

Don Emio de Lon , Guatemalan minister

stand taken by Mexico. A ful report of the
proceedings was sent by the Guatemalan
representative to Preslient BarrIos at Gunte-

rather than . be pressed into an unwilling

O'NEILL , Neb. , Jan. 24-Speclni ( Tele-

withm 'time tragic history of the Inrrel Scot
case curre,1 today , when the body was
taken from the morgue , where It hns laid
sluice It was tnken from thin river , amid
brought to time fatally residence nll Into the
Illresence DC the bereaved ones who had not
gazed upon hIs face sluice New Year's eve.
Ever since the boy ! was discovered Irs.
Scot has been letermlne , ! to eee I , but her
request was 10t grltel until today She
sal < that she would never bo entirely sats-
fled that I was the body of her husban ! ,
except through the evidence of her own eyes
The casket was brought Into the front par-
lor and time sorrowing wIfe was only for nn
Instant permltell to look upon the contents.
"Yes , thnt Is Barrett , " shun sold , and then
burl Into tears . She sobbed for neArly an
hour , and then seemed to be more composed
anl seemel
than , nl aly tIme slnco the tragedy. ! During
seemed to
the weeks of suspense her grief seeme
be pent tip wlhln her amI time fnal blrst 'of
sorrow seemed to relieve In some measure
the tension at which her nerves bml been
mnlntal1I.
Thcre Is only one subject In which she
.OemA to take enough interest to rouse her-
. self from her grief , ani that Is the conviction -
ton ot her husband's murierers , After the
first passion of grief al the sight of the dead
face hind subsldell her frlelis urged hr to
keep a bravo heart , as the work cut justice
was yel to be aecomplshe < . This considera-
ton seemei all potent , and she was lcd Ilto
n discussion or the evidence , Into which she
entered with a good deal of spirit.
Thin grief of the D-'enr.oll flaumgimtor , l.'pn-
mule was almost as toucblng as that uf i'er
mother. Al frst she would nut believe that
her fatimer was really < ea , !
"Wh , these men promised me thai they
would not kill. my papa , " she said , and with
childish Innocence she believed thai the
rufans < would not break their promise.
When she _ was assured thnt the casket really
ili e'f her papa's body lien grief was
pitiable. She demanded to see him , but was
pitable. < I
removed from the roonm ns I was feared thai
the terrible sight would be too much for her
chlilsh nerves.
ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE FUNERAL
The tuneral wIll bl held nl the Methodist
'hurch at 2 o'clock tomorrow. I was the
first intention to hold the service at the
rink , but Mrs. Scott was very anxious that
the funeral should be held In church , and
her wish was finally deferred to.
A brief discourse will bo given by Rev.
E. E. Hosman , pastor of the Methodist
church , and the Odd Fellows rItual will be
road at the grave. A number of Masons :
and Odd Fellows from other towns came In
<
on the evenIng train to attend the funeral. A
large number will arrive from the west on
the orlng trains , and farmers from the
neighboring counties are already beginning
to com In. '
Tbo special trains thai , bad been scheduled
have ' been abandoned..on..necouut of the poat-
pneni t of the servIces , but notwlhstand-
log the attendance will probably be BUm-
cleat over. to till the little church several times
While little else bul the funeral Is thoughl
Whie IUle
at , material points arc constantly being added
to the nceumulston of evidence against the
accuse . The finding of the body and , the
fact that the state Is to take a han In the
prosecution have lenl courage 'to witnesses
who were previously afraid to divulge what
they knew. I Is now positively known that
them ore witnesses nt the cal of the prose-
juton who actually saw the shooting at
Parker and who claim to have recognized
<
several of the lynchers.
WILL WORK WITH SECnECY.
The names of these and other witnesses
are most carefully concealed , for If they
should become known to the vigilantes the
ehances are that they would never live to
give their evidence In court The name
of every man who particIpated In the cow-
ardly deed Is known to Atorney General
Churchill , Attorney Stnley , Del Akin and ,
one or tw'o others. I will not be until these
men are In jail and the backbone or the
gang Is broken that the nature of the evt
fence thai Is now In the possession of the
prosecution will be made public. The situa- .
lion Is such that In their opinion time utmost
lon
secrecy Is necessary until their plans arc
fully worked out.
The Frontier , Sun and Tribune , all local
weekly papers , are out today and agree In
denouncing .he crime and demanding the
< .
conviction of the murderers. Time editorial
In last week's Deacon . Light , In which Edi-
ton Kautzman urged .the farmers to boycott
the busIness men who participated In the
search for SclU's body , comes In for general
condenmnation . Even the Tribune , which Is
also of the populist persuasion , denounces
Kautzman In the most vigorous terms , and
warns the better element of its party from
longer following the leadership of the frIends
of time lyncher and murderers. The Frontier -
tier devotes a couple of columns
ler
to editorial comment on the case ,
Including an appeal to refrain' from
further violence , no mater what the provo-
calon may be , and to leave vengennce to be
done nccordlng to the letter of the law.
