The Deadlock at Fall River.

FALL RIVER, Mass, Jan. 5.-Ever since the
 organization of the new city government there has been deadlock in the board of overseers Of the poor over the appointment of an agent. On motion to proceed to the election of an agent the board stood a tie, five to five. Agent Harrison, although neti- fed by the Mayor to vacate, has held over and is backed by the opinion of the city solicitor, who advised him to remain until he (the solicitor) could render positive opinion on the question, which has no precedent in this commonwealth. Mayor Cummings and City Solicitor Jackson went to Boston yester- day to consult Counsel Nettleton and an opinion from him is expected. The board meets tomorrow noon. To-day new compli- cations were reached by the sudden flight of Superintendent Kershaw of the city aims house. Kershaw resigned last week, but promised to hold over till successor was appointed. Last September he was investi gated on charges and exonerated. Since then new developments are reported and last night he departed without notice. This afternoon the Mayor detailed the police to take charge of the almshouse until new ar- can be made

 can Sailing Craft.
 NEW YORK, Jan. 5.-The Evening Sun says: Henderson Bros. of Bowling Green, the agents of the British shipping concern which owns the Anchor Line of steamships, will shortly inaugurate a regular monthly line of steamers between this port and India The steamship Asia, 2,023 tons, Captain Craig, the pioneer vessel on this new route, is daily expected with cargo of merchandise having left Calcutta on November 25, via the Suez canal. The other steamships of the line, the Belgravia, Britannia, Hesperia and Arabia, all immense freight carriers, are now on the way or loading. They will berth at the wharves of the company near Wall street ferry, Brooklyn. A shipping agent said to Q Sun reporter: This new line presages the exile of sailing craft from trade which they have heretofore monopolized and in which of late years American shipping has engaged as last resort. While this new scheme of the Hendersons is a gigantic venture it is one that cannot fail of being a success. Each of these ships carries from two to three times as much as the average sailing ship and will traverse the distance in about forty days. A sailing vessel can sell dom compass the distance in less than one hundred and thirty days. This is destined to become the greatest blow that has been struck at American shipping for years.

A Ritter Feud at Newport.

NEWPORT, Jan. 5.-For several years there has been trouble between George B. Hazard and Walter Sherman, of this city, over the boundary between their contiguous estates. About year and half ago Hazard as- saulted Sherman with post hole rammer, for which he was sent to State prison for six months. After his return Sherman sued for damages sustained by the assault and ses cured verdict of 5000 last September. This Hazard has never paid and to-day Shsr- man clapped him into jail. Hazard asserts that he will not pay Sherman, and as he transferred his property to relatives when he went to prison it will be difficult for Sher- man to obtain it. Meantime the latter is paying Hazards board at the jail.

THREE OUT OF FIVE FOR UNION.
 The Feeling in-Canada for Reciprocity

TORONTO, Jan. 5.-A special cable to the Mail says: The Pall Mall -Gazette's travel ling commissioner writing from Toronto says: Commercial union is the com ing question for Canada. It is talked about everywhere and is a question which will split the Canadian parties and will determine the whole relationship be- tween Canada and the United States for years to come and affect to 8 great if not vital degree the future of the AngIo-Saxon rece upon the globe. Both the Globe and the Mail of Toronto, the first being Liberal organ and the second recently converted from Conseryatiyism to independence, vie with each other in the strength of their support My experience is that outside of Ottawa, which is the center of ministsrialism, three out of five of the most intelligent men are enthusiastic commercial Unionists.n ?
