N. to inquire into the deaths by fire and drowning in the dlsaster of tlie North German Lloyd Company, returned their verdict last night.

The inquests were held catenafbiy on bodles of a I s'ewardess who was drowned ard a seaman who died from injurieg received in the fire on the Saale. The inqulry was Oirected partlcuiarly toward faetening the blame on tugboat captains for alleged cruelty. The Jury which sat on the drowning case re? turned a verdiet that Marie Cordes, a stcwardess on the steamship Saale, that was burned in the fire wlileh destroyed the wbarf to which she was Tiioored, came to her death hy drowning through misfortune. and not by fault, of any persons. The Jury was of the oplnlon that the loss of Ufe at that time by drowning would not have been so great if some of the tugboat in the neighborhood had devoted more Unie to saving llves than to looking for gain by salvage.

The second jury dedded that the vlctims by fire came to their death from burns received at tlie Brenien dock fire. the origln of which was un known. The verdict recommended that more strlngent measures be adopted to prevent similar disasters in future. The inquest extended through seven slttings. dur? lng which more than one hundred oases were ex amlned.

Many stories of the inhumanity of tug? boat captains were told, but no names were glven, for the reaaon that the vlctims could not rememi ber them. THE TIXPLATE WAGEB COXFF.REXCE.

CONEY ISLAND PROPERTY OWNERS AND LOCAL BOARD APPROVE BIG PBOJECT. There was a apecial meeting yeaterday of tha local Board of the Flfth District ln the offlce of Borough President Grout to conslder the advlsa blllty of bulldlng the proposed boardwalk along the sea front at Coney Island from the Concourse to Sea Gate, a dlstance of about elght thousand feet. Llvely lnterest In the project was shown by tbe lnrge number of property owners along the sea shore who attended the meeting. They were wlll lng to cede enough of thelr property to the clty for the purpose. but wlshed to be assured that they would bo protected against the bulldlng of a trol ley llne between thelr property and the walk, or havlng tlie beach obstructed by bulldlngB of any kind.

Mr. Grout informed them that when the property was given by the owners to the clty they could so reatrlcl it that. although hundreds of fran chisea mlght be given to trolley roads, none could bnild there. Mr. Grout thought tha walk should begln at the southwest end of the foncourse and contlnue west to Sea Gate There should be a aewer ays tem there, and a new street could be put through between Surf-ave.

and the ocean. Surf-ave. should be with asphalt. The plan of bulldlng the was to take a strlp of land a hundred feet wlde for the hlghway on which no bootha could be built or buslness carried on. A part could be boardwalk and the rest left for the beach, and, as lt would be a public highway.

no structurea could be put there. As to the jettles for the pre vention of the washlng away of the beach, that somethlng for future conslderatlon. tharles Stubenbord, a Coney Island resldent for twenty years. was in favor of the boardwalk, and was willing to cede enough of hls land for tha purpose to the city. He had een ln Atlantlc Clty.

and thought the proposed walk should be modelled after the boardwalk there That made Atlantlc Clty. and ln a simiiar way Island could be made the finest seaside resnrt on the Atlantlc Coast. Mr. Stubenbord was ln favor of opening a street through ihe Bowery, -md aUo of opening more stre. ts fmrn Coney island Creek to the shore.

i harles Henderson remarked tha; per cent wf the people of Coney Island were willing to cede the stnp but thev would want some guarantee that they would not be rut off from the sea. "ttn out doubting the honesty of the clty. they wlshed to prote. themselves. Some eould not ceclc their share, for ln doing so it would take all thelr Mr.

Grout urged that. ln that ctrcumstance. the property owner would be amp compensated. This could bc brought about by street opening proceed lngs. He then read reaolutlons, which were adopted, tn the effect that the Local Board pf the Flfth District rerornmended to the Board of Pub? lic Iniprnvemi-nts that the map of the city of New York be altered by laylng out as a hlghway a stnp of land extendlng along the Atlantlc Ocean the high water mark to a polnt Inland.

and from the Coi course lands to Beach in the Thlrtv-first Ward of Brookiyn; that there should be a boardwalk ten feet hlgh. constructed in such simiiar to that at Atlantlc City and under simiiar regulatlona. egpeclally that on such no should be transacted an.l no structures erected. no railroad ever con structed thereon, and that. in case of the beach making out beyond the present high water llne to the exter.t BN the hlghway should be moved out.

so that preaent property owners should not lose thelr preaent right to the accretion. and that the entire coal of acqufriag highway be assesscd upon th? property decmed to he benefited thereby ard the entire cosi of i.i.proving the hlgh wav be paid by the eity.
