CITY INTELLIGENCE.
FLIGHT AT LAST"
The Strike at the Gas WOrks-vho Trus-
tees AeCed Q 10 the DemAAd d OF the Work
men and rhsy Resume Operations.

Considerable annoyance has oeen occasioned
TO our citizens in consequence OF the strike tor
higher wages, by the employ, es OF the Gas
WORKS. The city last night presented the ap-
pearance it did some thirty years ago, when
such u thing as gas was unknown and 1t was
with extreme difficulty that pede strlqn5 could
navigate along The thorough ares. Many who
had occasion 10 be abroad provided themselves
with lanterns. All the shops closed at an early
hour, they finding too few customers to warrant
them in eXpendlng the amountnecessary Tor the
purchase of material with which to display
1helr wares.
As a consequence Of the strike, the candle and
oil dealers reaped a harvest, and we doubt
whether a "dip" or a pint OF coal OIL could be
purchased in anv storeJn the city.
All ADprehens ion ot any further difficulty no "
is at an end, for the Board OF Trustees of the
Gas Works have acceded TO the demands of the
Workmen, and they have resumed operations.
Yesterday we chFoniced the fact that the repre-
senta,ives of the Board had reused to yield to
the workmen, but since our last issue they held
@ meeting, at which the subject was fully dis
cusseh, and they decided TOR the sake Of the
CITY to give way.
This morning the Board visited the works and
stated the conclusion which had been arrived
at ViZ:-to give the advance of rs per ceut.,
and the employees Immediately recommended
their labors of lighting up the furnaces.
Chiet Engineer Brown waited upon us this
m0rninR, and stated that there would be gas on
hand tonight, but advises our citizens to use 1t
sparingly.
! A noticeable exception to the almost univer-
sal gloom which overcast the city last night,
was the inquirer Blu ldIug,n which was lighted
by means OF an automatic gas generator placed
