ST.. JOSEPH, Mo, July 29.-Unless an
almost miraculous influence 10 brought to
bear upon the Missouri river to prevent the
inroads made at point west OF the city,

Elmwood, OPPOSITE St. Joseph, will be sub
merged. The neck OF land separating the
river above and below the bend hiss been
reduced to width Of 1000 feet, aud the
banks are caving in acre by acre every day.
Should the river CT through the Kansas
bottoms. this city would be deprived Of
three Of its most important lines Of railrosd
for months. The iron bridge now spanning
the .tream at this point would be rendered
useless; all communication with the Kansas
farmers would be cut Of, and it would be
Impossible to estimate the dsmsge to the
merchants ard business men. The sewer
system would be rer dered useless, and di-
rectly in front of the city would be situated
. fil by ard death-breej ding lake that could
not be displaced with millions.
