time when they began their work until most Of
them had started to return to the engine house
they did not hear a sound from a person In the
house. and 1t was not until many OF the hremen
had reached the engine house that they knew that
ten persons had lost their lives In the building.
No other person reported yesterday that any
shrieks or cries for help were heard in the house
after Esposito and his family had been removed.
THE BURNED BODIES FOUND.
As soon as the flames had been extlngulshed and
the smoke had cleared away sufficiently to allow an
entrance, of the fremen who had been working
in the rear OF the building stepped on the coping
of a rear window and looked In. He was horrnei

rear OF the building from the roof to the ground
The fireman Immediately shouted 20 his companions
that he had found the charred body, and then In
the dull light OF the early dawn The searching OF
the ruins was begun by the iremen and policemen.
The sight that confronted the searchers was n
horrible one The ten bodies were found on the
second and third floors. The walls and floors OF
every room and much Of the furniture were badly
burned and every sign indicated that the blaze
had burned briskly In every corner OF the building
above the ground floor The bodies were found In
all parts OF the rooms where the unfortunate Ial-
ians had fallen In their attempts to escape from
the death-trap.
The third floor was the home Of Nicolo Tralia
and OF Carmela Marietta The Marietta woman slept
in a small room opening into the front and back
rooms. Her body found in the back room. and
those Of Tralia. his wife and children. were In the
front room. The body OF the father was stretched

HEARINGS TO BEGIN TO-DAY.
MAYOR WCRSTER WILL BE BOMBARDED
WITH ARGUMENTS ON THE con-
SOLIDATION ACT

Mayor Wurser will sit in judgment upon the
Greater New-York bill to-day and hear arguments
from the strongest speakers that the antconsol-
dationists may put forward.
The hearing viii. begin at ! 80 o'clock In the Com
Council Chamber. 1t Is likely that the speakers
against consolidation will begin the arguments, and
while the of Of them have been given
out It is not al all unlikely that the Rev. DR..
Richard 5. Storrs and r. d. Benedict Will be the
first speakers. AS The Tribune stated yesterday
the League Of Loyal Citizens is confident that
Mayor Wurster is with them and with equal con-
fdence the Consolidation I.eaguers profess 10
strongly entertain a similar idea Apparently the
Mayors mind. Judging from his attitude yesterday
is undisturbed by doubt as TO what should be done
But while there is peace without there Is agitation
within. There is nothing TO show that the same
deep interest viii not be taken IN the coming near
ings exhibited In the arguments before the
joint legislative committee. The Consolidation
League has been actively engaged lately IN cir
culating petitions among the bankers and business
of the city. and assert that they have a ma
jority of the names Of the heaviest and best-known
business In Brooklyn. But against this will
be the Loyal Leaguers' monster petition OF 1S.VcJ
Mayor Wurster is perfectly satisfied that Presi
dents Redfeld and Matthews should arrange the
order of speeches. His idea IS TO have either Two
or four hearings. aC the occasion may require. The
second hearing VIII be on Saturday and the others
IL II should be decided to have them. will be held
next Monday and Tuesday. These will all be inie
pendent of Mayor Strong's hearings in NewIOrk.
