Strike in New York. New York, Aug. 12.

The strike upon the New York Central Railroad is practically at au end, and the Knights wl . Labor shave suffered the the most crushing defeat that has befallen any big labor organization in many years. Notwithstanding the state- ments vf officials of the New York Central road, that backbone of the strike is broken, and reports from prin- cipal points along the line are to the same effect. The strikers are still confident that the crisis has not yet been reached, and that before a week the road will be tied up as tight as a drum.

ee em a A ee Sudden Death of an Islander Abroad.

We clip the following from the New Zea- land Herald, Auckland, July 14:

‘Considerable surprise and regret was felt throughout the city at the news of the death of Mr. Frederick E. Compton, of Lower Queen Street, which occurred on June 23. On that afternoon he saw Mr. J. Batger, one of his oldest friends, and about four o'clock came lown to the dining-room to have some food which he had ordered. He was partaking of achop when an acquaintance entered and congratulated him upon his improved appear- ance. Mr. Compton half turned in his chair to reply, but immediately fell forward upon the floor. Those present rushed to his assist- ance, but before they could raise him life wa- extinct, death apparently having Leen instans taneous. Medical assistance was promptly sent for, and Dr.. Hooper, who had been at- tending Mr. Compton in his recent illness, was speedily present. He stated that death occurred from a sudden attack of heart dis- ease. Mr. Compton was well known in the city, particularly in shipping circles, and bore the reputation of being a shrewd business man, and of strict integrity. He was bern in Prince Edward Island in 1828, and migrating from his birthplace at manhood, sojourned for some time in San Francisco. After a somewhat long stay there he came down to Victoria and embarked in business as a drysalting merchant in Mel- bourne, meeting with considerable success. Kighteen years ago he decided to come to New Zealand, and took up his quartersin Auck- land, carrying ou his provision business in Lower Queen Street. When the Harbor Hoard reclamations were finished, Mr. Comp- ton leased a section, and, in conjunction with Mr. Batger, erected the substantial premises where he carried on business till his death. About four years ago he disposed of his pro- vision business to Mr. R. 8. Reynolds. and devoted his energies to the furtherance of the interest of the Auckland Tug Company. Mr. Compton took great interest in all local mari- time concerns, and was for several years a member of the Harbor Board, and in 1881 and 1882 presided over its affairs as chairman, during which time he proved himself to be one of the most energetic and persistent advo- cates for the construction of the Calliope Dock.
