Scranton. Pa, Special
Mr T. v. Powderly. general master workman
of the Knights of Labor, has set out once more
on an extended tour of the South, to visit the
principal Industrial centers OF that section IN the
interest of the order, of which he is the official
head in the United States and Canada Previous
to his departure a Times representative had an
interview with him relative to the recent noisy
demonstrations of the Pittsburg Communists and
Anarchists. Those men represent nobody but
themselves said Mr.. Powderly, with emphasis,
sand the real workingmen of the country have a
hearty contempt for their ideas"
How are they regarded by the Knights Of

Skating-Rink Etiquette.
Minneapolis Tribune,

Somebody would make hit by publishing a
book on skating rink etiquette. The Kinks are
bound to stay, and to be patronized and it is
high time that their frequenters should learn the
propreties. The cardinal principle of the book
should be that the manners of the side walk, and
the Playground, and the hotel parlor,
and not those of the social assemblage,
furnish the proper analogy for the rink. Rink
geers should take their company with them, and
not make it on the floor. II this general rule,
simple as it is, were obeyed, it would do a
hundred times more for good morals than all the
sermons that have been preached against the
amusement of roller skating.

People who came to this CITY Yesterday
by the Sacramento and Placeryille train
reported cyclone as having occurred at
the ranch of J. E. Butler, on the Placer
road, near White Rock, on Saturday after
noon doing considerable damage to that
gentleman's property, and more or less to
that of his neighbors. Mr.. Butler is apt to
get discouraged after awhile, as he has lost
his crops for two wears in succession by the
visitation of grasshoppers, and now he has
lost portion of his shelter by new kind
OF pest, imported from the other side of the
mountains. 1t is to be hoped that the cy-
clone will not take root " in this State.
The following letter from C. NJ. Chapman,
of White Rock, to the RECORD UNION, gives
an account OF what happened:
On Saturday last, at the residence of j.
f. Butler, one mile from White Rock there
came near being serious and fatal catas-
trophe. 1t had rained all day until the
middle of the afternoon, when apparently
it began TO clear off. About half-past 3 a
heavy black cloud appeared in the south
east, which had the appearance of a huge
funnel. 1t kept lowering until it struck
the ground about two miles from Buffers
house. Mr. Butler was at White Rock for
ter be imagined than expressed as he saw
this monster make straight for his house.
1t first struck the chicken house. which
went up like a balloon then the picket
fence; next struck one corner of the house,
tearing the roof from the kitchen, pantry
and one bedroom; then across the road.

which were entirely demolished-on
being a new one, containing two wagons
and buggy. The large freight wagon was
entirely demolished; spokes and axles
were broken, as though they were glass.
The covered spring wagon was carried
quite distance out in the field, and was
badly wrecked the buggy will need new
wheel and bed. Such was the force of the
wind that a fence-board was driven
through the main house, near the roof.
over half its length. The storm was en-
tirely wind not a drop of rain fell with it.
1t was sight never to be forgotten. Large
timbers, boards, trees and pieces of roof
were carried to fearful hight and scat
tered for half mile A strange freak of
the wind was that it opened the door on
the opposite side of the house and threw in
lot OF buckets, cans and washdishes, then
closed the door. The main part OF the
storm was not over twenty feet in diameter,
short distance away being perfectly calm.
Mr.. Buffers loss will foot up well in the
hundreds of dollars. Had it been few
feet farther to the west, the house, with all
the family, would have been swept away.
The question is, Was this tornado looking
for some Eastern visitor, or else where did

IDAHO.
MOrnonS Punished

BLACKFOOT, November 9th.-On Satur-
day Chief Justice Hays an appointee OF
President Cleveland, pronounced sentence
upon eight Mormons convicted of unlaw-
full cohabitation under the Edmunds law,
and on George C. Parkinson for hiding his
polygamOus wives from the United States
Marshal. The names of the unlawful CO.
habitors are Joseph NJ. Phelps, who has
three wives, and lives in Bear Lake county;
Alexander Leatham, Alfred L. Blackburn,
Andrew BijOrn, Nathan Porter, Arthur
Peck, Isaac b. Nash and W. C. Garrison,
each of whom has two wives and all resi-
dents of Bingham or Oneida counties, l. T.
The Court questioned each as to his future
intentions in regard to obeying the law,
and, with the exception of w. C. Garrison,
all positively refused to make any prom
ises, but said they would obey the laws of
God as they understood them in the Bible
They believed polygamy was from God,
and couldn't obey the laws of man.
Phelps Leatham, Bijorn and Peck each got
six months and $500 fine, and will have to
pay $50 costs. Blackburn got six months
and $500 fine. Porter got three months
and $3.50 fine, and will have to pay 800
costs. Garrison and Nash got three months
each. Parkinson, who hid away his wives,
got one year and $500 fine, and will have
to pay 500 costs.

THE SUICIDE IN PRISON.
A Bad Man" Attempts to Run Amuck,
and TaISes His O1zn Life.

anu ldAts OILS own l-Ic.
The details of the occurrences connected
with the suicide of the prisoner at the Fol-
som prison Sunday show that a more
serious catastrophe was very narrowly es-
capped. 1t appears that for some time past
prisoner John McManus had been insolent
and defiant threatening the lives of officers.
and on one occasion had been discovered
with knife in his POSSESSIONS table
knife, which had been sharpened to point,
and was evidently intended for weapon
to be used in an assault. For these rea-
sons the prisoner was confined to his cell and
the o1hcers were cautioned to guard against
any attempt on their lives Sunday morn
ing, when the cell door was opened for the
purpose of cleaning the cell, McManus
rushed past the officer and the two "trusty"
prisoners, and entered the Enclosure where
the barber was at work. Selling two of
the razors, he brandished the open blades
above his head, and threatened TO kill any,
body who should attempt to interfere with
him. His fellow prisoners urged him to
give up the razors, but he continued his
threats, against the prisoners as well as
officers. In the mean time the armed
guards had been sent for, and on their ar
rival the other prisoners were locked up.
McManus was called upon to surrender, but
he refused, and made a rush at the officers
until he saw the barrels of the weapons
leyeled at him, when he turned and ran
toward the west corridor One of the
TRUSTEES had been sent upon the balcony with
laSso, and as McManus ran the moose
was thrown around his right wrist and in
stantly frightened, but before he could be
disarmed he gashed his throat with the
razor in his left hand, and died in few
minutes. As he sank from loss of blood,
he expressed satisfaction that he had not
hurt any of his fellow-prisoners or the
officers.
McManus was a powerful man, weighing
200 pounds, and standing six feet and half
an inch in hight. He had threatened to
knock the Captain in the head with ham,
mer, and had also threatened to kill the
foreman of the quarry. There is no doubt
that he intended to assault one of the Off
GERS with the sharpened knife and was
willing to do anything to get up the repu-
tation of being bad man." The ply
stefan had recommended great caution, as
the manner of the prisoner indicated
tendency to commit suicide. In the assault
for which he was sentenced he had stabbed
his victim twelve times Coroner Clark
was notified, and directed Justice Sturges
to hold an inquest. The jury returned Il
verdict of suicide while laboring under
temporary alteration of mind

woman with whom he had been for some
months on intimate terms, and her escort

placing the revolver to his mouth, killed
himself. Foley died within few minutes,
the bullet penetrating the brain. The
woman was shot through tie upper portion
Of the right lung, the ball entering between

Of the right shoulder blade. She is still
alive, but there are no hopes of her recov-

Ohio as a Mrs. Blade. At Leadville she
married one Flick, who deserted her, and
she drifted with the crowd to Butte, where
she was employed in variety theater
