Than, Seaman. P. Daley, Seaman. 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 a 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 Hawallan Government condemned her. Captain Nis- sen then brought Als 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 commanu 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 Glasser 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 towed 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 erippled 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. Captain Nissen was a native of Ger- 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 35, his son Harry 9 and his daughter Rosalle § years | 0ld. “The bark Rosalie, which Captain Nissen commanded for’ so many years, | was named after his little daughter.” Mrs. Nissen's only relative in this country is her sister, Miss Stofer, who 18 now living at Tamalpais. * Of the crew given above all the men may not have sailed from the Sound on | the vessel. They left here on her, but some may have deserted at Tacoma, and others may have been put in their places at the last moment. It IS known that the two mates and the cook sailed on the vessel. There is_trouble on the Mall Company's steamer City of Sydney. On the voyage to Manila the crew was not properly fed, and in consequence some of the men nearly died of dysentery. 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 day’'s work on it. All of them assert that they will never work on the S{dne)‘ again. The schooner Occidental arrived yes- terday from Eureka after a remarkably | fast run of thirty hours. This is steam- boat time. ——————— Large Is Insane. J. R.

DECLARES HIMSELF HIS SEAT IN THE BOARD IS CHALLENGED. The Juggled Contract for Repairing and Repaving Bituminized Streets Rushed Through by the Ring. The Board of Supervisors pushed through the juggled contract for repair- ing and repaving bituminized streets, de- spite the kicks of the small minority of the board. It was the old story over again, the useless objections of a few out- side the solid ring, the lame rejoinder of some spokesman of the gang and the final vote that consummated the act. As a preliminary to the proceedings of the afternoon the board wrestled with the problem of city lighting. The board had settled the matter once before by award- ing the contract to the only gas and electric light company which had been allowed to do business in the city. The Mayor had, however, vetoed the award, on the ground that a chance should have been given the Mutual Electric Company to do the lighting, provided that the pro- moters backed up their proposition to do the city lighting for $40,000 less per year than the other company, and, moreover, saved the citizens of San Francisco an additional $100,000 annually on private lighting bills. The Mayor sald that the new rival company offered a sufficient guarantee. ‘There was a heated discussion. Seve- ral of the Supervisors fought for the priv- {lege of the floor. The Mayor insisted that Dr. Rottanzi should be heard, and when order was in a measure restored the Supervisor, in & most vigorous man- ner, sald: “3r. Mayor, there is one feature of your veto of the lighting contract that, in my humble opinion, 1s utterly ridiculous.” The Mayor looked startled, not knowing what was coming next. ‘It was ridicu- lous, sir, to ask this board to defer an award of the lighting contract until the mandamus proceedings, now pending in court, are settled. Perhaps your Honor has had some experience with the courts of justice. It will as likely as not be three years before a decision is handle)d 0 you want San Francisco to walt three years for light?” The question of over-riding the Mayor's veto ot the light contract came up in di- rect form. Dr. Clinton objected. fie said that it was the duty of the Bupervisors to make the best possible bargain for the city. There were some plain facts pre- nted. Two rival companies, each tully responsible, were willing to do the city lighting. One wanted more than the other. Why not save the difference and give the contract to the lowest bidder? As for Dr. Rottanzi, it was to be hoped that he would stand up like an_ honest man and vote to uphold the Mayor's veto. This was too much for Rottanzi. He came to his feet with a bound. ‘“Does the Supervisor say honest? Honest, I say? My past is honest! 1 have nothin to conceal. My past has not the taint o the demagogue. 1 have never had a hand in jobs in this Board! Yet there has been an’attempt upon the part of a newspaper in this city to coerce me into voting as its editor wishes on the lighting question. It threatens me if 1 do not follow its dio- tation and vote against my convictions. Now, I did not intend to come here at all to-day to vote either way, as I hau im- portant private business that needed my attention. But when I found out that this newspaper, the Examiner, was try- ing to boss me, I came to vote as I pleased, which is against the dictation of that sheet! It is thoroughly rotten to the core. Who appointed it a dictator over me, an honest man? The association of the Examiner's name with my own is a stench in my nostrils. Who is the manag- ing editor of the dirty sheet? I would not care to compare him to myself. I am a gentleman! If he tries in future to im- pugn my motives in any way he must settle personally with me!"” “T stlll think you will stand up as an honest man,” szld Clinton. “That’'s rank demagogy replied Rottanzi. ‘“The Supervisor from the Eleventh knows it, too, when he makes such a remark. As for the Mayor, I wish to remind his Honor that he signed a con- tract for the lighting of the public build- ings when I showed him how it could be done one-half cheaper. I was surprised. Now he comes and vetoes the award of the city l(xhflnf‘. There is too much dic- tation.” Again I wish to state that when the Examiner tries any of its yellow tac- tics on me it makes a great mistake. I will stand no more of it. Any further attempt in that line will get the responsi- ble party into trouble.” “Do I understand you to threaten some- body's life?’ asked the Mayor. £ ?mean what I say!” retorted the angry doctor. Dodge then took his turn. ** to the contract as awarded,” he sald. “The job has been rushed through. It doesn’t require any perception to see that the committee juggled the proposals so that no opposition bid could be made. We all understand the merits of this contro- versy. We know what the past ten- dency of this board has been. I'm ready to sustain the Mayor's veto and make an end of it."” “If I was In favor of the erection of an- other set of poles,” broke in Supervisor Britt, “I would vote to sustain the Mayor's veto. It is too late now to re- vise our work. The contract is awarded. We cannot remedy any mistake that has been, made. Had there been no veto there would have been no opposition either in the newspapers or in this board. The Mayor on the last day discovered that somebody had been unjustly treated. Now we are giving out the contract at a less price than former boards. We are not, therefore, as bad as them. The proper time for a kick was when the sub- Ject was up before the Supervisors.” The question of permitting the Mutual Electric Company to erect poles came to the front and was defeated by an 8 to 4 vote. The vote on the Mayor's veto was called and only three of the Supervisors sus- tained the chief executive. ‘When the vote overriding the Mayor was announced the reply of his Honor was quick. “I challenge the right of Dr. Rottanzi to sit or, vote in this board,” he said, “as he holds two public offices of profit and is therefore ineligible.” Having disposed of several minor mat- ters, the board settled down to the con- sideration of bids for repairing and re- paving bituminized streets. “We will not have to repave all of those streets mentloned in the specifications,™ said Supervisor Smith. e had better go slow and not award the contract under the present arrangements. I favor re- advertising for bids and giving an exact schedule of streets to be repaved. We can cut the number down very much. If We have any money to spend it can better be applied in getting rid of the old cobble- stones than in tearing up pavements that are comparatively good and that will last for years.” Lackmann sided with Smith, and sal “Bingham as a bidder wants it under- stood that he doesn’'t consider it neces- sary to repave many of the streets men- tioned, and that he expects, if he gets the contract, tc keep them in repair under his $23,000 bid and only to repave such as really need it. He states that the total cost to the city will be far less than $50,000, as claimed.” “We should reject all bids and readver- tise,” suggested Supetvisor Lackmann. found the crossing at Steiner and Halght to be Intact. Was that not in- cluded under the specifications for re- paving?”’ asked the Mayor. “I cannot recall. But the pavements in many places are rolling and need re- lacing. No extra amount of money will needed far the work,” replied Super- visor Devany. “Well, money will not be spent on those opposed [ if we do not do the work. I know that the crossing at California and Front ’1: 1& 3';,‘;':.?’1% fia ition, yet it Mlls nflendgfed ons a8 In need of repair,” sald Bupervisor Lackmann. 5 The cantract, on a vote, was awarded to the City Street Improvement Company on {ts bid of $37.707 for repairs and repaving, the Committee on Streets to be the judge otfihe work necessary to be performed. ayor Phelan has not stated what ac- tion he will take, but a veto is regarded as robable. In the discussion he did not avor the award under the specifications. = = STREET IMPROVEMENTS. Summary of the Week’s Work of the Board.
