The American barkentine c. C. Funk has been wrecked on Flinders Island, off the coast of Tasmania, and of the above people who were aboard, only two were saved. Among the drowned was the cap- tain and his family
 The C. c. Funk left Tacoma on May 22 with cargo of lumber for Melbourne, Australia, and this was Captain Nissen' s first voyage in her. He was formerly master of the Mary Winkelman and trad ed in her between here and Honolulu. He left the Winkelman after purchasing the old bark Rosalie, and ran that vessel in the inter-island trade until the Hawaiian Government condemned her. Captain Mis- sen then brought his family to San Fran cisco. He learned that Captain Charles ton wanted to sell his share of the c. c. Funk in order to go to the Klondike, so, as the command of the barkentine went with the sale, Nissen made the purchase through w. F. Schultze of South San Francisco.
 The c. c. Funk was the prettiest and best-known barkentine owned on the Pa cific Coast. Nevertheless she was never a financial success. She was built in 1882 and Captain Chaser was her first com mander. He remained by her until the day of his death, and then Captain Charleston was appointed master. A case Is now pending against her in the courts at Honolulu. Soon after leaving that port she was dismasted in a gale and was lowed to safety by one of the Wilder line of steamers. When being taken to an anchorage the haWser parted and one of the crew was knocked down by the recoil and crippled for life. He Is now suing for damages. The Funk was partially re- rigged at Honolulu and then came to San Francisco, where she was fully repaired. It was after this that she started on the voyage that has ended so fatally.
 NiCCpn many and 46 years old. He came to Cali fornia over twenty-five years ago and for twenty years has been in command of San Francisco owned vessels. He has no relatives living. His wife was 36, his son Harry and his daughter Rosalie years old The bark Rosalie, which Captain Nissen commanded for so many years. was named after his little daughter Mrs. Nissens only relative in this country is her sister, Miss Stofer, who Is now living at Tamalpais.

Yesterday twenty-tWo of the firemen and nearly all the deck hands quit work, and in con sequence the vessel is nearly deserted. The men say they were given rotten meat to eat and bad water to drink, and were expected to do a full days work on it. All of them assert that they will never work on the Sydney again.

Miss Eva Dennison, who made her debut as Honorine, one of the risky girls of the Latin quarter, fitted the part nicely, being not only quite at home, but graceful. both as a dancer and in repose Miss Adora Andrews was also prepoS- sessing in a similar part.
 The pretty scenes were generously ana deservedly encored and the revival should be a success. One of the enjoyable feat ures is the singing of Ben Bolt by EiVia Seabrooke. The play goes for the week.

The Chutes.

Edwin R. Laing, the "Poetical Tramp ' made a great hit at the Chutes Theater yesterday afternoon and evening. He talks and sings in away that comnares favorably with Lew Dockstadter. and his efforts caused the audience to roar. Bell dians, were funny, and had new Teutonic witticisms to offer. Fl Nino Eddy. a bounding-wire performer, created a sensa- ton. An alligator from Tampa was an immense object of interest In the Zoo, and Sultana and her three baby lions received their due share of attention.

Large Is Insane.

J. R. Large, who resided at 460 Bryant street, was committed to the asylum for the insane at Agnews yesterday. Large was an usher in the Central Methodist Church for many months and he annoyed many of the congregation by writing them volumnous letters on scientific" and other topics. A bale of these letters was introduced in evidence against the unfortunate man. They contained all va rieties of jargon, which the writer termed ssscientific and literary essays.

Lewis Morrison, supported by Florence Roberts and the Alcazar Theater stock company, appeared last evening in a re- vival of Goethe's Faust before an ap- preciative audience. MT.

The mortality is so great in the Spanish camp, where disease is rampant, that no longer are the dead buried. A funeral pile of ten or twelve bodies is made, saturated with kero- sene and set fire to, cremating the bodies in the open air.

SHORT LUMBER.
Current Comment.

CoRN.-The market has shown more
strength, with prices advanced about 1c for
the week
OATs.-The market has ruled quiet during
the week, but the tone is firmer with prices
generally advanced
BEANS Receipts have been lighter for
the past week but there has been very little
IL any improvement in trade.
EGas.-Receipts have fallen off consider
ably during the past week and strictly
choice fresh eggs have been in short supply.
HAY.-The market for hay is yet dull, and
conditions are unfavorable, sales having
been made this week at lower prices than
at any time before this season.
DRESSED PoULTRY-There has been no in
crease in supply for the past week, but the
weather has been unfavorable a good part
OF the time, and since Monday trade has
been quiet.
FLoUR.-The tone has been tirmer with
prices further advanced, but the demand
has been more or less checked blythe high
er values Wheat has recently shown a
break and this tends to weaken the gen.
eral market at the close.
CHEEsE.-Receipts for export, $50 boxes.
There has been little change in the condi-
ton of the market during the past week
Receipts have been moderate but demand
has been light, and sales generally in small
lots at about former price.
BUTrER-The market for fresh made but
ter is still in a very unsatisfactory condi-
ton. Receipts are fairly liberal but very
few lots of fresh creamery are fine enough
to bring but slight If any ADVANCE over
the price of extra June goods.
LUMBER.-There has been even better
feeling evident in spruce lumber this week
than there was last. The yard people are
fast realizing that they must have lumber
and are showing much more anxiety to buy
1T The result is as anticipated, that is
those who have lumber to sell are disposed
to be very much hrmer in their views.
Cargo stock has sold for much better prices
this week than for several.
WooL-The market has witnessed an ex-
ceptionally large movement in wool this
week. Sellers have been persuaded to come
nearer buyers terms and have accepted
figures that were refused not long since.
Wool until now has been held for prices
that would represent a good profit Recent
sales have been made on parity with the
cost basis and it is reasonable to suppose
that further transactions at similar terms
will not be excessive.

Paying OFF the Regiment.

Maj. j. p Jocelyn, Cart c. H. Hovey of
Mortified and Paymaster Townsen will
muster the companies OF the First Yer
mont regiment out in the following order:
To-day they will muster out Company G at
Bradford; tomorrow they will visit st.
Johnsburg and will muster out Company ID /;
Monday the 81 they will muster out Com
pauy l. at Newport; Tuesday, November 1
they will go TO Brattlehoro and will muster
out Company |; Company X Of Benning-
ton will be mustered ont Wednesday, No
vember 2; Company b Of Rutland, Thurs
day, November 8; Company O of Brandon,
Friday, November 4; Company b of st.
Albans Saturday, November 8; Company
M OF Burlington, Monday, November 7 at
which time the field and staff officers will
also be mustered out.
1t costs the government about 81, to
settle with each company which will make
a grand total OF $4,000 to pay the ten com.
panies. 1t is reasonable to say that 1t will
reduce the government purse fully $50 900
to settle for taking the Vermont boys to
Chickamauga. The boys are seemingly
pleased at being mustered out and their
families and friends are glad that they
lived to enjoy the experience.
