THREE lNQUESTS.
Jas. E. Miles Shot by Geo.
Parks at Whittier.
THE MURDERER ESCAPES
Two Men Die Suddenly From the
Effects of Excessive
Drinking.

Coroner Meredith went to Whittier
yesterday to hold an inquest on the
body of James E. Miles, who was
killed by George Parks in his saloon
on Tuesday evening. The testimony
in the case was to the effect that just
about dark Miles was in the saloon
when Parks, the proprietor, entered,
and drawing a pistol pointed it at
Miles and shot him, at the same time
swearing and saying, "You want to
shoot Billy, do your" Miles fell to
the floor, having been instantly killed.
The "Billy" referred to was William
LIE Van, partner of Parks in the sa-
loon business, with whom deceased
was scuffling at the time
Parks entered the saloon. Deceased
was quite drunk at the time, but none
of the witnesses to the shooting knew
of any reason why Parks should shoot
Miles. One OF the witnesses, William
Cooper, testified that he met Parks at
Norwalk on Tuesday morning, and
Parks had said that he was going to
shoot three men by the names OF Cox,
Miles and Lively.
All the testimony given at the in
quest was to the effect that the MUIR
der was entirely unprovovoked, SO far
as any one could tell, and the Coro-
ner IS Jury rendered q verdict charg-
ing Parks with murder.
From the parties who were present
at the shooting it was learned that as
soon as Parks fired the shot which
entered Niles brain he turned and
ran, and no one had presence Of mind
enough to start in pursuit. The con-
sequence is that up to q late hour last
night the murderer was at large, al
though as soon as the matter vas re-
ported Sheriff Kays sent several OF
his best deputies on search for him.
So much time elapsed, however,
before the search was taken up
and it having been after dark when
Parks fled, there was no certainty as
to the direction he took in his flight.
1t was, however, hoped that traces of
him might be found before he man.
aged to cross the line into Mexico,
where it was supposed he was head
ing.
The citizens of Whittier were not
any too we'll pleased when the saloon
started there a short time ago, and
the murder within it's walls did not
make them feel any more kindly
toward it In fact they made
up their minds that it should
not stand any longer, and yesterday
morning the male residents gathered
around it, and without any excite
ment, and in the calmest manner pos
sible, tore it down and carrying it
piece by piece across the street set
fire to the debris, including the stock
which was on hand. Even the floor
ing, on which were the stains of Miles
life fluid, was consumed. During all
the proceedings the lady members of
the families stood in the doorways
and waved their handkerchiefs en-
couragingly at the men. When Cor
oner Meredith reached the spot mat
ters stood in this way, and he had
hardly time to view the stains on the
flooring before it was placed on the
funeral pile. Yesterday was an event.

PORTLAND, Ogn., January 49,
Early this morning the old round
house, belonging to the Oregon Rail-
way and Navigation Company, caught
fire and was totally. destroyed. Seven
locomotives in the roundhouse at the
time were destroyed; also a very ele-
giant coach, estimated to be worth
$40, 900 was destroyed.
The fire burned the old car-shop,
machine shop and blacksmith shop.
The loss will approximate $50, 600,
partially insured in an Eastern COM
pany. The origin of the fire is sup
posed to have been from small heat
ing stove in the coach. The loss will
probably cripple the company tempo
rarily for motive power. The build

shock he received when his friend. William
H. Vanderbilt, apparently in full posses
sion Of health and strength, dropped dead
before him.
The next apartment is the principal
drawingroom, and of course contains every
thing in the way Of costly bric-a-brac, of
which it is possible to conceive The walls
are covered with crushed strawberry velvet
caught down by large colored glass medal
lions cut to look like huge rubies, emeralds
and opals. The main hail is very large,
containing an immense fire place, and with
its heavy carving and winding staircase
leading 10 the floor above looks like part
of some mediaeval castle. An objective
point in this hall is a life size portrait of
Mrs. Vanderbilt by Sargent. 1t is an ex-
cellent likeness in a sitting posture, the
costume being fashionable dinner dress of
black silk relieved by colored silk at the
throat, down the vest front and at the
sleeves is rich white lace Mrs. Vanderbilt
is tall and slender, and wears her hair in
large coil, coming high upon her head The
front hair is parted in the center, and
brought down in set waves, in what are
called bandoline scalloDs. She has quiet,
ladylike air, and is the daughter of cler-
gyman, Mr.. Kissam, who was not a rich
man, but one of cultivation, who is dis
cerned Mt all times in Mrs. Vanderbilt.
All tne sleeping apartments are on tne
upper floor as is also sunny sitting room
where Mrs Vanderbilt passes her fore
Moons. Just now she is out every forenoon
buying Christmas presents for her sons and
daughters and bosts of little grandchildren
of whom she Is very fond. S 10 gives large
sums to charities, hut these she gives
through other hands for the most part as
she is not very strong of late years. She
goes into no society except to make infOG-
NAL calls Oil old and intimate friends, and
to visit at the houses of her children, all of
whom live within stones throw. This is
the daily life of the richest American
widow. 1t is generally supposed that at
ler death the great Vanderbilt collection
Of paintings will be given 30 the MstrOpli-
tan Museum of Art, and that wing of the
building will be built to receive them in
order TO keep the collection intact, the Same
as was done in the case of the Catherine
Wolfe collection. 1t is rather q singular
thing, but the Vanderbilt collection does not
contain one canvass by the old masters.
Mr.. Vanderbilt did not believe in them,
possibly did not appreciate them, but he
took great pleasure in the works of modern
artists, and before his death became quite
connoisseur His collection of modern
paintings is one of the finest in the world.
