made unto himself his officers and sub.
officers, that they determined to give an
exhibition Of their Gas works.
2 And as the ofi,erS took great de-
light in making themselves noted among
the people upon special occasions by enl
PERTAINING the laborsrs with full and
complete descriptions Of the manner 10
which they did up things in the old
country, and giving instruction how they
must be done 10 the city and on the es"
tate Of the Zalsski company, until the
laboreVs perceived that the officers knew
less than the labOrers.
3 But at first the labOrers had respect
