Favors the Barre Candidate
A recent issue of the Montpelier Rec
ord has this to say in favor of w. W.
LapOint for Secretary of the Senate.

ord has this to say in favor of w. W
Lapoint for Secretary of the Senate:
There has been a suggestion, coming
originally from a weekly journal, that
the sccretaryshlp of the senate should
be given to the representative of one of
the daily papers, but it is difficult to see
Just what excuse there can be for claim
OF this kind. OF the three prominent
candidates for the position, one is a
newspaper man and the other two are
lawyers,
If the appointment is to be considered
from the standpoint of an efficient per.
torrance of the work, inasmuch as the
Legislature is created for the sole pur-
pose CT enacting laws, the selection of a
lawyer would appear to be the more an
proprlate, and for this reason the con-
test should lie between Max l.. Powell
of Burlington and William w. Lapoint
OF Barre. the two youthful disciples OF
Blackstone.
Powell IS the present secretary. and,
While so far as anyone is aware, he.has
proved an able and efficient official, it is
well known fact that Max has been
brought up at the state crib and there is
a quite general sentiment in a laryc
section OF the state that it is high time
that he was weaned.
". W. Lapoint of Barre, the other
is young lawyer in the
Granite City who has gained considera-
Die prominence in the politics of Wash. !
ington county. He has just been re-
elected colonel of the Vermont division
OF the Sons of Veterans, and his execu-
tive ability is fairly well exemplifed by !
the remarkable progress made by that |
order under his administration.

WEED BELIEVED TO
HEAD A SYNDICATE
May Be Working to Obtain a Foot
hold in the San Domingo
Republic
WASHINGTON DC.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.-Careful in
quiry at the Navy Department demon
strates the absolutely unofficial character
of any commission such as that said to be
headed by Smith NJ Weed, which was re-
ported recently at Nassau, B. w. l., in
conference with President Heureaux Of
San Domingo. 1t is said that Captain Con-
verse of the Montgomery may have taken
Mr.. Weed on his ship as a guest The
Montgomery has been ordered from New
port to Charleston to participate IN the
peace jubilee in the latter city, and Cap
tain Converse obtained permission to
touch at Nassau en- route
1t is believed here that Mr.. Weed is the
representative of an American syndicate
which has agreed to administer most of
the affairs Of the Dominican Government,
collecting customs receipts in return and
paying a large sum yearly. to the Of
ficiais of the island Some such scheme as
this has been operated by an American
syndicate IN Honduras for several years
with marked success, 1t is asserted, and
this may have attracted the attention of
SPECTATORS to the possibilities Of other
Central American and West Indian coun-
tries.
So far as any proposition to buy or &C
quire SANTANA Bay as a United States
coaling station is concerned, naval au-
thorities declare there is no truth in the
story The SANTANA Bay project was a
favorite of President Grant, but has not
taken serious shape since, and is less pos
sible of contamination now that the
United States has splendid facilities of
its own in the matter of coaling stations
on the island of Porto Rico.

LOUISVILLE DEFAULTER
CAPTURED IN LONDON
Charles G. Henning, Who Absconded
With $4,000 Bank Funds,
Under Arrest.

LOUISVILLE, Oct 27-Chief of Police
Haager to-day received a notification that
Charles G. Henning, who absconded from
the Bank of Louisville with $4,000 several
weeks ago, had been captured in London,
England.
Young Henning bore a name well
known and honored throughout Ken
lucky and the adjoining States. He is
the son of John w. Henning, who for
many years prior to his death, some
twelve years ago, made up the celebrated
firm of Hennfng & Speed, real estate
dealers and capitalists. Joshua Speed,
Speed, President Lincoln's Attorney Cen
eral and whose warm and intimate
friendship for the martyred President
dated from very early days when as a
young storekeeper in Springfield, ILL.,, he
first met Mr.. Lincoln. This connection
influence at a time when much money
was to be made in handling real estate.
At Mr.. HenningS death he left each of
his two sons some $3.50 GOO and his interest
in the business. Charles Henning, with
his brother, was largely interested in the
street railways in New Orleans into one
general concern known as the New Or
leans Traction Company. The enterprise
was not a financial success and young
Henning, with several others, is said to
have lost the greater part, If not the
whole of his fortune. His family connec-
lions easily secured him position of re-
muneratio and trust in the Bank
of Louisville, of which his father
had for thirty years been d.
to be retrieving his losses, when
a short time ago the news of his alb
sconding with $4,000 of the banks funds
fell like thunderbolt on the community.
