END OF ARDROSSAN DOCKERS’ STRIKE
This struggle is now partially ended. It appears that the Dockers’ Union withheld their support for the strikers.
Yesterday a number of local gentlemen were approached by representatives of the men on strike and requested to meet with the harbour manager on behalf of the men. These gentlemen will probably meet Mr. Craig, harbour manager, today.

ARDROSSAN MERCHANTS’ HOLIDAY
The annual autumn holiday of the shop merchants and other business places was held yesterday. The day was amongst one of the best of the season.
The town throughout the day had a deserted appearance, owing to the large numbers that took advantage of the cheap excursions offered them by the railway companies and by the steamers SCOTIA and DUCHESS OF HAMILTON.

EXCITING INCIDENT AT ARDROSSAN
About ten o’clock on Wednesday night three men, named JOHN McLEAN, ROBERT VINCENT, and JAMES CHRISTIE, employed in discharging pig iron from a steamer fell into the dock.
Owing to the position of the vessel and other circumstances the men were in the water a long time.
A large crowd collected, and great excitement prevailed. McLean had one of his arms badly bruised, and was so much exhausted that he had to be assisted home.
