THE EXPLOSION GENEvA,-The st. Louis papers
contain full particulars of the explosion of the sternwhee
steamer Geneva, which occurred the third instant
about four miles below Alton, Illinois, and which we have
announced briefly by telegraph. The boat had just made
fast at wood yard when the explosion took place Capt
j. Perry standing the hurricane deck and
thrown up and fell into the flames deck He

burned and otherwise injured that it was not thought
possible for him to The pilot VIM Gall ter
by burned but his injuries were not considered mortal
The clerk, Capt VIM @. Johnson died in few moments
after the accident Capt Deane, of the firm of Carson
Deane and formerly in the Keokuk trade is missing as
also the bar keeper and watchman. Both engineers
are badly scalded. The steward. two cooks and four
cabin boys also scaded Some six eight persons
are missing. The Republican says that the head engi-

off steam, shows bad management
Since writing the above we notice paragraph stating
that Capt. Deane's body has been found.
