YACHTING PARTY UPSET.
DR.. Hornung's Faznily's Exciting Ex=
perience--Miss Hills Heroisua.

DR.. George ]. Hornung and family, of
this city. who are surnmering at Sea
Cliff. Long Island, had an experience yes
terday that they will not be likely to for
get for a long time to come. They were
accompanied by Mr.. and Mrs. e. H. Hill
and daughter, on a visit to the fish hatch
ing at Cold Spring harbor, on board Mr..
Henry Hornung's cabin sloop Vespa.
Nothing eventful t%ranspired on the
way. to Cold Spring and the entire party
had visited the Hatcheress. On the return
trip the boat containing Mr.. Hernung,
Mrs. Hornung. Mrs. Hill and daughter.
and Mr.. Henry Hofnung, started for the
yacht. at anchor. half mile off shore. A
lively breeze was blowing which kicked
up quite a sea and the little boat, half
filled with water, had capsized, plunging
the entire party into the water. Miss
Hill. who is an expert swimmer, made
good use of her accomplishment and i'm
mediately swan to her mothers assist
ance, while the Hornung brothers We're
kept busy taking care of Mrs. Hornung,
who was almost exhausted.
Just in the nick of time help came from
a yacht in the sound, whose name or
that of its owner, the grateful party
were nable TO learn.
While the party were struggling in the
water Mr.. Hill was on the shore helpless
to aid in the rescue. Fortunately nothing
worse than a good wetting and a serious
fright resulted from the mishap. Mr..
Hornung and his brother are very warm
in their praise of Miss Hills heroism.

>KYNASTON GONFESSES.
Britannic's Officers Will
Waive Extradition to
England.

john Kynaston, former. third officer OF
the White Star Line steamship Britannia
who is in the Hudson County Jail await
ing extradition to England for robbing
the mails on board the Britannia with
Chief Oficer Jago, who is now a prisoner
in England. this morning confessed all to
Chief of Police Benjamin Murphy and
| agreed TO return to England Without the
formality of extradition. He agreed to go
on the steamer which sails on Wednes-
day next.
Yesterday. when he was examined be-
fore United States Commissioner Isaac
Romano. he fought extradition and swore
he would never go to England unless
forced to do so. Chief of Police Murphy
was at Belmar yesterday. He did not re-
ceive word of the examination until too
late to permit of his being present.
When Chief Murphy heard that Kyn-
aston had determined to resist extradi-
ton he came home and went at once to
see him. He then had Commissioner Ro-
maine set Tuesday next for another hear
ing. 1t will be held at ten o'clock. Chief
Murphy desires to have important testi-
mony which he has reduced into writing
so that Detective Prescott, who will ac-
company Kynaston to England, will be
able to AXE it with him. Kynaston has
confessed to Chief Murphy.
A few days after his arrest he was in
Chief Murphv's Office. Suddenly he said:
"Chief, you have been kim to me and
I believe you when 0 say ! am a
noyice in crime. To prove to you that I
am not an old offender T will tell you
something
Kynaston had previously asked If he
might smoke a large meerchaum pipe
that he took from his pocket. Kynaston
dumped the tobacco on to a piece of
paper on the Chiefs desk. Two large
diamonds rolled out with it. He con-
tinued:-
Nobody in the world knew that ] hal
these diamonds. l have been searched
several times and l doubt if they ever
could be found. but I AVE confidence in
you and viii tell you the whole truth. On
Friday morning after Jago had left The
ship I saw a telegram be sent 10 the mess
room steward. telling him to look in his
trousers pockets and he would find some
thing which he desired him TO Weep for
him. 1 searched his trousers h found
these diamonds
At that time Chief Murphy did not
know that any diamonds had been stolen
from the mails. Subsequently he learned
that foor seven karat diamonds, worth
S24 a karat had been stolen from a pack
age sent from Amsterdam to Groen
Brothers, Of 81 Nassau street. New York.
1t is probable that Detective Prescott
will take the diamonds to England with
him as evidence. British Counsel Gener-
al Bennett has been notified that Kynas-
TOMS confession and willingness to return
TO England.

DIRECTOR CLAYTON'SABSURD CHARGE
Attacks the Deputy Warden

Doing His Duty.

Director Claytonss dignity has been
deeply offended and he has begun a cru
SADIE against Deputy Warden Fields and
Warden Grimes of the Penitentiary. On
August I Mr.. Clayton gave a pass to
Andrew Dickelman and his mother to
visit Mary Livingstone, who is a prisoner
in the Penitentiary. When Mr.. Dickel-
men arrived at the Institution, one of the
keepers Informed him that the rules Of
the institution forbade men talking TO fe-
male prisoners. Mr.. Dickelman insisted
and the keeper referred him to Deputy
Warden Fields. Mr.. Fields sustained the
keepers decision.
Mr.. Dickelman promptly reported to
Director Clayton that his pass was APP
parently not much good at the Peniten-
tiary and informed him of what had oe-
CURED. Mr.. Clayton rang up Warden
Grimes and ordered him to suspend
Deputy Fields. Warden Grimes could not
see his way clear to obey the order, as
Deputy Fields had only carried out the
rules. The result was that Director Clay
ton submitted this charge to the Board
at the meeting yesterday afternoon
To the Hon. Board of Freeholders.

A LUCKY WRECK.
A Passenger Train Derailed Near Oaggett-Miraculous Escape of
 the Passenger

A Passenger Train Derailed Near
 Oaggett-MiracuIous Escape of
 the Passenger.
 One of the luckieSt railroad acc dents that could possibly occur han- pened 10 the east bound passeng z "a n last Friday about four mi eSt of Dsggett and SIX miles cas- f Barstow, near the spot where a wes, bound train had been held ID just a week previously.
 The co npany has a large force of men engaged in putting in new steel rails, and at this point they bad apparently not been spiked flown solid. As the train was pass ng over them the rail spread and th,. rear trucks of the engine tank jumped the rails. resulting iu five cars leaving the traek.
 The maii and eXP-ass cars landed on their sides thirty feet from the track the trucks being separated from them. The chair car, which was full of people. was thrown d. rectly across the track and turnei over nearly on its side. Two tour l., cars in the rear of the chair car also landed, partially on their sides diagonally with the track one end D~ing alongside the track and the other ends stIll being coupled to- c-ther forming the letter 4.
 The miraculous part of the affair i- that not a single passenger was .urt, although shaken up some what.
 The passengers were taken back ;o BarstoW where a train was made up aUi after a shoe fy" was built around the wreck they proceeded on their journey.
