GREAT SUFFERING IN KANSAS.

Hundreds of Deaths Due to the Blizzard-Burning Their Furniture.

   Salina, Kan., Jan. 16.- The sweep of the blizzard through Colorado and Kansas was  accompanied by fearful loss of life. In some places tattle and horses were frozen to death in their stalls. The former blizzard left the people in an almost destitute condition. and, although the residents of eastern Kansas were very emphatic in their denials of any suffering in the state, the fact remains that there have been hundreds of deaths in the western counties that were due to the severe cold. Reports from Clark county, Kansas, are of the most alarming nature. Whole families are said to have perished in their houses, and others are said to be burning their furniture in the stoves. Albert Robinson, a rancher in the afflicted district, who arrived here Monday, says that in Syracuse many bodies remain unburied He declares the blizzard to have been the most appalling yet experienced in the country. Robinson was himself badly frozen, his cheeks being cracked open by the cold.
