PHILADELPHIA, Penn, Aug. 17.-An
explosion en- the steamer FELTON, occur
red to-day just after she had left the dock
on her trip to Wilmington, Delaware.
She was opposite pier No. 8, South
Wharves, when the passengers and crew
were startled by an explosion which
shook the boat from stem to stern. and
when the smoke cleared away it was
found that the entire forward part of the
vessel above the water line had been
badly damaged and number of pas
sengers injured, some severely. The
pilot house and the entire upper deck
was lifted and fell to the lower deck.
The bow presented scene OF complete
wreck. Tugs proceeded at once to the
injured vessel, and, with the assistance
of the harbor police, at once
proceeded to remove the injured
Ambulances of the Pennsylvania hos
pItal soon arrived and took most OF the
| injured to that institution. The injured
SO far as known are: John Z. Medium,
aged 8 years, severely injured about the
legs; Silas Reed, badly shocked and
confused; Bessie Bradley, ankle disloca-
ted; Samuel Cooper, injured about the
head and body; George Erwin. injured
about the limbs and body. The steamer
Is owned by Simpson, Broad 81 Co,
and is large, we'll equipped boat. II
she is not injured below the water line
the damage will not be heavy. The
/ cause of the explosion is unknown.
| The passengers and many of those that
saw the explosion from the shore insist
that gunpowder or some explosive was
Ignited on the forward deck, and several
persons who were standing on the pier
declare they distinctly noticed the odoI
i of gunpowder. There has been consid,
cradle rivaly between the FELTON, and
other boats running to Wilmington, and
reports have gained ground that some
malicious person placed an explosive or
the deck. This is mere rumor, how
ever, and the cause of the explosion Will
not be known until further investigation
IS made.
There were over 200 people on the
boat, men, women and children. wheI
the explosion occurred. The upper
works took fire and frightful panic en-
sued. This was speedily checked by the
GOODNESS of a number of men, who drove
the women and children att anc
prevented many frantic women from
leaping over board. Besides those serI-
ously hurt q number were stunned ~
the shock. The promptness with which
assistance came from all sides prevented
the FIRE from spreading. The steamer
LIS not Injured below the watel
line and the damage will not exceed
$500. There now seems to be but little
doubt about the explosion being caused
by dynamite, though no one seems e
know how 1t was taken on board. /
seems marvellous that half the people es.
capped death. Witnesses say that at the
moment of the explosion everything be-
came enveloped in darkness and Tho
