Two Families Frozen to Death

Fort Smith, Ark, January 2S.-From u
reliable gentleman who arrived here to-
day from Sansbers, in the Choctaw Nation,
it is learned that on the Sth of the present
month two families of movers, consisting
of nine persons, were caught in the biz
zard OF that date in vast prairie about
twenty miles from Sanders, in the Cherokee
Nation, and were all frozen to death, to-
gether with their teams, consisting of four
horses. They were travelling in the direc-
ton of Muskogee. Nothing was found in
their effects to tell who they were or from
whence they came. They were found on
the 9th all frozen stiff in their wagons and
their teams frozen in the harness. The To-
cality being remote from telegraph lines,
the news of the terrible fate of these peo-
pie seems to have been confined to the i'm
mediate neighborhood where they met

that ex-senator ID. III. Armstrong
went to Secretary Bayard and pro
tested against the appointment of ex.
Gov. Crittenden to any Office. saying
HE (Crittenden) is an Infamous,
corrupt scoundrel, and have the
proof in my pocket" Until this
proof is produced the public will be
very eager to know whether it relates
to the railroad funds subscribed to In
sure Crittenden's nomination, to St.
Louis police board crookedness. to the
III. Il st. 10 bond loan transaction, or
to the blind pool purchase of a
large amount Of Missouri bonds for re-
funding purposes at figures much
above the market quotations. The
precise nature of Col. Armstrong;
proof might be discovered by a libel
suit if ex-Gov. Crittenden is disposed
to silence a good deal of such ugly
talk as that with which Col. Arm

If any further assurance were need
cd that Mr.. Parnell now believes that
the advancement of his cause lies in
the strengthening of the liberals in
stead of the conservatives, it is furn-
ished in his request that the national
lists will support the liberal candidate
from Armagh. In the late gem
eral parliamentary election the votes
and influence of the nationalist gave
the conservatives number of seats
which they would not otherwise have
obtained, and thus deprived the liber-
ais of a majority over all and in
creased the force of their own balance
of power. True to his main purpose,
Greek and Trojan are all the same to
Mr.. Parnell, except as he can use
them, and In the shifting tide of
