Rise in the Missouri.
ST. LOUIS, January 1.-THE warm weather
for the past two days combined with q rise
in the Missouri River, started the ice in our
harbor about o'clock this morning. It
separated nearly opposite the foot of Carr
street, the lower portion moving down about
a hundred feet and opening a channel to
the Illinois shore, through which skiffs
passed for several hours, and sinking the
steamer Bell Memphis, which was ice bound
in the middle of the river, and the steamer
Warsaw At the lower end of the levee it
rose to the upper ferry boat landing on the
Illinois shore, doing considerable damage
10 several other boats, barges and wharfs.
The Bell Memphis was valued at Ss5, 900,
insured Warsaw S35, 900, insurance not as
certained; Prairie Rose worth SIS, 900, prob
ably insured; ferry boat valued at about
$1,000.
About noon the steamer Nebraska and
the ferry boat Mulligan began butting ice
at the lower end of the landing and broke
the channel about hundred rods wide on
the Missouri shore, nearly to the upper end
of the levee, when the whole field Of ice
gave way and moved slowly down, carrying
with it the wrecks of the previous disaster,
still afoat, to the extreme lower part Of the
city, where it grounded again. |
The harbor is open opposite the city now
and ferry boats are running, and it Is ex-
pected the ice, both above and below the
city, will move ought to night, as the Mis-
souri, river broke up to-day at st. Joseph,
Kansas City, Lexington, Jefferson City and
st. Charles, the effects of which will reach
here before morning. 1854
At the latter place the North Missouri
Railroad ferry boat, used for transporting
trains across the river, sunk, and the landing
is badly injured. No ther disaster is yet
reported in the Missouri river.
Nonews from the Upper Mississippi.
Weather very warm.
