HENDERSON AND HENDRICKS.
The Reason Why the Former Declined to
Continue the Race for Postmaster.

ibid you know that there had been serious
misunderstanding between Vice president Hen
bricks and his kinsman and lifelong supporter,
Mr.. William Henderson, asked a gentleman
who but recently made trip to Washington, Of

lowed by an explanation. "You see Mr. Hender-
son wanted to be postmaster here, and asked
1nis Mr.. Hendricks readily promised. but re-
quested Mr. Henderson to prepare petition,
or furnish him some letters to use in his case,
in order that it might not be said that
he was asking the appointment of some one who
would be Objectionable to the people here. On
the strength of this assurance Mr. Henderson
caused splendid petition to be prepared, and
sent to Mr.. Hendricks more than one hundred
letters from business men of Indianapolis, ask
ing his appointment Mr.. Hendricks replied,
acknowledging the receipt of the Endorsement,
but added very complacently that he had pledged
his support to Aquilla Jones, and could not,
therefore, help him. Mr. Henderson was very
much surprised, as he had received Mr.. Hen
dricks's positive assurances Of support, and
was greatly chagrined at having asked
his friends to write the letters
He wrote Mr.. Hendricks scorching letter, in
which he stated that he had net wished to be
placed in the light of an oficeseeker, and should
never have asked for the letters had he not been
assured that they were all that was necessary to
render the appointment certain. l know he felt
very much hurt at Hendricks duplcity Mr..
Henderson is not the kind Of a to make a
vigorous effort to secure an official appointment,
and it is generally understood that he was led
into what he did by Mr.. Hendricks promises
Hereafter, depend upon it, the entente cordiale
between the two gentlemen will be greatly
strained"

HOW TO READ THE BIBLE.
Rabbi Sonnenschein, Of st. Louis, Lectures
at the Market-Street Temple.

Rabbi Sonnenschein, of St Louis, spoke at the
Market-street Temple, last night, on How to
Read the Bible" He said that it should be
touched reverently. and with neither passion nor
brutal doubt, and made comparison of the
sacred volume with woman, in which he showed
that even while the Hebrews were Orientals
among Orientals woman had always been the
equal of man, honored and cherished. He OBJ
jected to translations of several passages and
said these inaccurate translations had given
nourshlnent to infdels and scoffers. Genesis
was not written for Darwin, but for primitive
and simple people. Had the Jews of that day
been graduates of Harvard, it would have been
written quite differently.
Rabbi Sonnenschein will lecture at the same
place. on Sunday evening, on Hebrew Her
aldry.n

HoILIsrER, CAL, Nov. IA. = Richard
Alexander, one Of the persons arrested
and charged with being concerned in the

confession to the detectives last Saturday
The contents of the confession have been
kept strictly secret. To-day Alexander's
father, who was preeent when his sons
statement was made, gives an account OF
il as follows: John T. Prewett was the
| principal instigator Of the murder. He
had long been at enmity with Powers on
a land matter. The confession also gives
as the opinion of young Alexander that
Prewett set fire to some OF bis rancn prop
erty and attempted to place the crime on
| Powers, 80 az to create a public feeling
| against him. Prewett called q public
| meeting to take action against Powers.
| He finally succeeded in influencing Dick

P. Ashcroft. Andrew Irwin, Fred Fowles,
Isaac Slavin and Marian Thompson to
join him in the conspiracy to murder
Powers aud implicate other citizens of
Bear Valley and neighborhood, in order
that their silence might be secured. A
meeting OF citizens was called for the
night on which Powers was murdered.
While Prewett, Irwin and Alexander were
on the road to a deserted cabin where the
meeting was to be held they met Powers
on his way home. Prewett, who was
armed with a double-bsrrel shotgun, on
meeting Powers, ordered him to throw up
his hands and ct the same time fired
one barrel at him. This occurred
about half-past 5 o'clock In the
evening. The horse which Powers
rode continued OIL his way. and when he
had gone about Is feet Powers fell from
his horse to the ground dead. Prewett,
who was also mounted, rode to where the
body lay and discharged the other barrel of
the gun into it.. Prewett then started for
his house to get q rope with which to hang
Powers body. His two companions wit
messed the shooting and also Slavin, who
was stationed on the road as a spy to
Powers movements. Other conspirstors
we're also stationed on the road, but did
not see the shooting. Nineteen persons
were at the meeting, which took place
later on the same night, but none Of them
outside OF the conspirators knew OF
Powers death. When the subject Of the
meeting was brought up for discussion
Prewett said: We needn't discuss the
matter. l have settled it. The old man
is dead" Those present were then in
formed OF their being accessories to the
murder. All were bound by an oath to
protect one another. In order TO
strengthen the oath all were induced to go
to the spot where Powers body had been
left and take part in hanging it. 1t is
stated that the detective has secured
another confession corroborating Alexan-
