2 THE OMAHA DAILY ' 33EE : MONDAY , AUGUST 30 , 188(1 ( THK 1'Al'lM.lON WJIKCH. ' A HcflUinc of the Kontiires of the Kil ling oT 1011 Cook , The account in the Br.K yesterday , of llio accident on the Union Pacillo roael , near 1'apillionwritten as it was at an early hour on Sunday moruinic , wai correct so far as it went. Yesterday morning , the over land train from the- west was delayed by Ihe accident until 11:00 : , and reached hero lit about 10 o'clock. The debris impeded the passage and llio track had to bo re moved to the southward of the straight line of the roael , describing a curve which narrowly enabled the regular trains to pass. pass.Yeslerdny. . afternoon a Br.E reporter visited the spot. Tlio way car of the Missouri Pacific lay on it.s side in llio ditch , looking like a cabin rent with shrapnel shell. The engine 7i.0 of the Union Pacific lay on its side north of the caboose , Its wheels were high in the air , its domes In the wire , and almost all llio pieces of its working gear were seatti-rcd ut various distances from the huge pile. Thn tender was twenly-llvo feet west , while it.s roof was about the same elis- tanco east. Under the former lay the unfortunate COOK , his arms clasping one of the axels. The box car , ahead of the cabcsao on the Missouri Pacific , lay in a licap about two feet high. It was in this th.il Cook and his horse met their death , A vacant platform car also lay in the elebris. though its parts had been resolved Into kindling woo t. It was a wreck with but few features , but every one of them was a wreck Indeed. Engineer Shannon , of the Union Pa cilie , saved himself by jumping when ho saw that ho could not avoid running into the Missouri Pacific train in front of him. Before leaving his engine , however , ho put on the air , reversed the lever. Fire man N orris was severely injured in the Htiiiiu and sullercd the fracture of several ribs bei.sides sustaining some internal In juries. Ho was brought into town and carried to his home , " SOU north Eleventh street. Eli Cook , who was killed , was brought to town about 12 o'clock yester day aud conveveel to Burkot's undertak ing rooms on Sixteenth street , where his remains \vcro _ placed In a metallic casket anel from which they were last night for warded to Iliawatlia , Kansas. Cook is a horseman who has been traveling in ttio smaller towns in Hits district for some time. Last fall he drove at the Papillion lair and since thai time lias tigured in the smaller speed-meetings in the vicin ity. When killed ho was on his way , with a magnificent stallion , to Falls City ' in this state. He has been separated ' from his wife , who now livesatClarinda , - la. , while his daughter lives in Baker , " Kansas. In the same car were a. sot of harness and a sulky. These , like horse and owner , wore destroyeel. The stallion was valued at $1,000. The latter was buried earlj yesterday morning beside the track. Conductor O'Connor ' , of the Missouri Pacific , had a narrow escape. / Ho was in the caboose and was wnelgcel , in the debris until released by a number of train men. John Seofus , one of the bnikenicn , who was in the cupola of the caboose , when he saw the Union Pacilie train approaching jumped to the tloor and then to the ground aud savoet him self. self.Tho The jury was yesterday impanelled by Coroner Walner , of Springfield. It con sisted of O. W. Royco.'E. Howard , M. 11. Wilson , Nick Deerson , J. P. Grove , of Panillion , and It. S. Angling , of Spring- held. Thorp was an indefinite variety of con tra Motion in the testimony of the Union Pacific and Missouri Pacific employes. Of tlio former , Conductor Baird. En gineer Shannon , Brakomcn McCaffrey and Maiighn , anel of the latlor , H. .F. Ab bott , engineer , Thomas O'Connor , con ductor , John Hufor anel F. W. Stirors , brakcnien , wore examined. The Union Pacilie men testified that they wore run ning at about fifteen miles , while the Missewri Paoilic claimed the rate ot the former was about thirty-live miles per hour. Thi ) former testified the Missouri Pacific train was standing , while its own men swore it was running at eighteen ' * miles an hour. The former also claimed that they heard that O'Connor , the Mis souri Pacific conductor , was drunk , and Rufer , his brakeman , said ho had smelled whisky from his breath. This , the Union Pacific people claimed , accounted for thn fact that after the Missouri Pacific train hiiel como to a stop the conductor had not taken the precaution to prevent an aeci- elont , knowing ho was followed by a train but a few miles behind , by sonelin" out men to Hag the approaching train. The Missouri Pacific , on the other hand , claims that the Union Pacific was run ning Its train at an unusual rate of speed , which served to destroy the time which was between both when each started , and , by way of answer , the Union Pacific says that its rate of speed was but usual , anil that the time the Missouri Pacific enjoyed in starting it lost by stoppage without sending back a flag to apprise ; the Union Paoilic of the same , especially ' i\a the fog was so dense that a light could nenj boscon a hundred feet away. With all this conflicting testimony , the jury came to llio conclusion that' Kli Cook had come to his death by the collision mentioned , and that the Union Piieilie train , which caused tlio same , owing to the heavy fog which prevailed at the time , was traveling at a rate of speed which was incompatible with public safety. Five members of the jury wore in favor of a stronger verdict , censuring the Union Pacilie roael and holding the engineer of the train of the lalier responsible sible , but , owing to the bitter objection of onei of the members , the verdict had to ho modified us above outlined.

The tumble-down buildings which , to llio disgrace of the metropolis , have for years past served us headquar ters fet our police force , are about to be come tenantless , and the cobble-stone pavement deserteu. Tlio statement to which wn gave publicity yesterday , set ting forth the fact that the site of the ill- starred opera house on the embankment had been purchased for a iiuw police ollice , will meet with hearty approval from all who take an interest in the ren ovation of London , and wo doubt whether there bo a single person who will regret the demolition of the ill- assortcdcaravanserai which has tiirough pressure annexed every available out house in and around great Scotland yard' Though cramped , unpractical and ugly , the yard has numerous associations that are not unintcrosting , and much of the fustiness of the present official headquar ters is rodecnieet by the antiquity and the history in which Scotland yard is in volved. Its creation cannot be traced , so far back does it date. Tlio first mention of the place is to bo found in the reign of Kdgar , the Saxon king , who granted a pieeo of ground lying a little south of Charing Cross to Kenneth III , king of Scotland , in 1)59 ) , for his residence when he came up to London to do homage to the crown of England. The palace ho erected long served as the town house of the Scottish kings , and was last inhab ited by Margaretto , queen of Scots , when she came to London , after the death of her husband on Floildon Field. In the reign of Henry VIII , tlio mansion was al lowed to fall into decay , and in that of Elizabeth its oareor as a palace came to an end , owing to the merging of the crowns of Scotland and England. It was therefore dismantled , and such portions as remained standing dnvotcd to the lodging of government ollicers. It was hero that John Milton lived while acting as secretary to the protector. Hoio Beau Fielding lived and died , as did also Inigo Jones , and Sir John Donham , of Cooper's hill fame. Sir Christopher Wren also dwelt in Scotland yard , and his successor architect and dramatist Sir John Vanbrugh , while filling the post of comptroller of the royal palaces. Com ing down to more recent times wo find at the beginning of the present conturv tlio palace court held in Scotland yard , where it dispensed its jurisdiction over all civil suits within twelve miles of the palace ; but this passed away , and the yard remained comparatively neglected until 182U , when Sir Robert 'Peel estab lished the present metropolitan police force. The new force , which was in the begin ning exceedingly unpopular , was by no means founded on its present lines. The cstablihmont was rather the nucleus of what it has since become. Its head quarters were placed at Scotland yard , but instead of olliecs being specially erected , , tlio houses which happened to be standing were taknn over , the police station proper being located in the kitchen of the little house on the right-hand side , where it remains to this day The police force was , shortly after its foundation , increased and improved upon , and its progress has from that time bu-jn unin terrupted. The original houses occupied proved too small for the work , and more were taken over until the entire yard was included. The horse patrol , a new anil dsstinet branch of the service , was insti tuted in 1830 , and the river police , which hnvo since done such good service , in 18.r.b. The success of those 1-itter was so great that it was stated that during the first year of their existence they saved property to the value of 1011,000. The increase in the establish ment was regular and progressive. In 1857 thn force numbered ITsuperin'.o.ul- enls , MO inspectors , ! ! " > sergeants and 0,21)0 ) constables' in 1802 the men had in creased to 7,8'W ' and thuolllcotsin proportion tion , In 1871 tlo ; nieu of all ranks num bered O.O.'iS , and In 188J the force was represented by 13l 0 officers and men , not including the city police. This con stant increase required ad litional execu tive olliecs. and all available buildings in the yard bjing already occupied , a new block to accommodate the hackney , carriage ami detective departments was erected iu the middle of the eourt , fol lowed by the acquisition of several house. ? in Whitehall placewhere the chief ollieos and the lost-property ollico founu accom modation. The diU'urent oflleos at present in cluded in the Scotland yard establish ment are numerous indeed , There is the police station proper iu the aforesaid stone kitchen. Them is the central of. lice for administrative purposes ; llio criminal investigiCtion vice detective de partment , retired ; the convict ollico , where gentry holding tlckots-oMoave present themselves from time to time to report. They are the hackney carriage license department , the convicts' prop erty office , and the licensed lodging house , to say nothing of the tologr.ipli department , Ilia Uv.lor's . shop , where the ir.cii are httcd with now clothes ; the printing office , where daily notices are published ; Uie accountant's department and the surveyor's oltlco. Vast as all is. the arrangements are admirable , and , dispito the villainous quarters In whirl ; the bulk of those departments nrn lo cated , thp working Is all that could bo dn."irMi. At the name tlrao this is no ex cuses for the "shimmy" appearance of the executive ofllcers of the finest police In the world , and , however admirable the mechanism of the institution may be. it is very desirable that some more suit able building should be found than llio present series of odd-aud-eii'l tenements. The various departments at Scotland yard are full of Interest. Many curious things are to bis seen iu those elusty-look- ing olllces , and at timo-s many curious people also. Take , for example , the con vict ollice , the two-storied home in the loft-hand corner. Here every holder of a "ll-eense. " or "llckol-of-Joave , " has to report himself once a month. The curious-looking assemblage which finds its way to this oflice is worthy of an in spection. In the same building is kept a remarkable series of photographs , like nesses of every prisonerpa- < and present , in the United Kingdom. Here these are liled ami kept carefully indexed for future reference , and many a .scoundrel has been brought to book thanks to the recognition nllbrded by this aliium of beauties. Thn Black museum U also well worth inspection , its contents being as curious as its name is appropri ate , Hero are stored these articles which have been mstrumcnlal in convicting by gone felons. The assortment is largo and comprehensive. Crowbars , dark lanterns , silent matches , infernal ma chines , revolvers and knives all having done duty and some having taken life. The top shelves are graced by a collection of casts taken from the heads of men hanged for murder. From the gas bracket dangle : i number of ropes which have been used at executions and round thn room are such trilles IM the scalp of Wainwright's victim , with the hair still adhering , together , with the bit of cigar the murderer was smoking when arrested and the chopper with which l.o cut up the body.O'Donnott's ' revolver and the three bullets taken from Carey , the informer , after death ; Orion's snniY-boy anil the hammer with wh'ch ' Goulelstono murdered his five children ; an entire collection of objects once the property ot Pearce , and a hotch potch of mmilnr ghastly reminiscences. In the convicts' property ollico are stored these objects found on prisoners which are not supposed to bo stolen , or are not claimed , embracing every article under the sun , from valuable trinkets to boots and shoes , and from wheelbarrows to bird-cages. The collection , which fills several rooms , is most carefully kept , every piece being labeled and registered so as to allow speedy identification if it is ever applied for. It will bo seen that Scotland yard is a veritable hive of industry , and that it will show to far greater advantage when removed in favor of a well-built and suitable oflico.n better fitted to the re- entiromenls of the age and more in keep iug with the work to be done. HKCR12TS OK DUNTISTIIV. A Profession Which Sometimes lleal- IZOH Profits of 4OO Per Cent. Brooklyn Eagle : It has been carefully estimated that an individual in the higher wutlc of life , when he or she roaches the age of 70 , will have paid no less than $200 for the preservation of their natural teeth and the acquirement of artificial ones. This fact should encourage younc men in the study of dentistry. One afternoon last week I met a friend , a dentist , who , being in"a confidential mood , consented to talk of the profession of which he is a shining ornament. He said : "Dentistry is not what it is cracked up to beand though it pays big profits , many bills for work elono are not collectible. For this reason honest men and women arc compelled to suffer for the transgres sion of 'dead beats. ' 1 have n friend who recently solel a set of teeth for $ ! I5 which cost him exactly $10.20. By a set of teeth I mean upper and lower sots. The teeth mentioned above were set on aluminum. Teeth set on rubber cost the patient 550 and the dentist $10. The prices given are average ones. Some dentists , who serve the 'best people , ' ask oven higher rates. All dentists claim to do their mechanical work on their prom ises , This is not so. Loss than one-half of the dentists in Brooklyn do their own work or employ mechanical men by tlio week. A larger part of the wcrk claimed to bo done by local dentists is performed by half a dozen mechanical dentists wlio make a specialty of that branch of the business. " "What are mechanical dentists paid for their services ? " 1 asked. "Eight dollars per set , which includes upper and lower. The dentist so con tracting for the work is obliged tolurmsh the teeth , which usually cost from $4 to $0 per double net. Plain teeth are worth 10 cents and gum teeth 15 cents each. The best teeth are made in Philadelphia and are sold at a branch of the manufactur ing lirm in this city. Dentists try to con vince their patients that teeth are very expensive , and that to make an upper and lower sot takes two or three days. This is all humbug. A mechan ical dentist who is a good workman can make tlireo sots in twouty-f9ur hours. You can see by the foregoing figures the patients pay good prices for a man's name or reputation. Dentists who employ men make a plaster paris cast of their patients jaw so as to got the articulation , or lilting of the teeth , cor reset. These casts cost about live cents each , and when made are sent to the dental laboratories , where the remainder of the work is done. Until the middle of September dentists plight as well close their offices and go in the country , as lit tle or no work is being done. The months of August unel September are the dullest in the year for the dental profession. " "What are the incomes of Brooklyn dentists * " "They dilfor.asin any other profession. 'Soiini dentists whom I might name make UK high as $12,000 anil § 10.000 a year , while others hardly earn their salt. I know men who have boon in the profes- MOII ten years or more , and who. during thattimo , have not averaged if 1,000 a year. Many Brooklyn elontists lill no tenth loss than $5 eaon. A man in Phila delphia charges $10 an hour and usually manages to got im hour's work on any tooth , no matter how small the cavity. Another dentist in New York will 1111 no tooth loss than $ " > 0 or $100. Dentists charge all prices for gold and silver lill- ings. As I have alroaely staled , the av erage price paid fe > r an upper and lower set of teeth Is f.'iO. If 1 was unknown to a dentist who usually re ceives that price 1 will wager you that at this time of the year I iwiuhl got the worl : done for one-half that amount. Yes , I think $ ' 20or evew $15 would do the trick. Suavity ot manner ia the great drawing card of m\uy : dualists. Ladies prefer to patronize pleasant and agrecablo elon- tlfits to men who are surly and uncouth in manners. Dentists who are person ally popular liayo the largest incomes. Women dentists ? O , yes. To my knowl edge there is one in Brooklyn. This lady attends uluiost exclusively t.o women and children. Occasionally sue has a male patient , but not often. " "Do women make a success of donlis- tryv" "Not always. The icininlnn mind is sometimes unable to grasp its intricacies. Many women dentists practice their pro fession iu New York. They are usually discouraged in their atlompls to study dentistry , as oloso association with male students has often unpleasant results. Tim only plan which I think would work satisfactorily wor.'U bo tei separate the saxc-.t in dental e-.oHegos This plan has shown { jooit results in medical schools. More woiuiin dentists practice their pro fession iu Kuropothan America. " "How are a $13-a-sot teeth , made while you wait , manufactured ! " "In almost the same mnnner that $50 sots arc made. A mechanical dentist would charge the siunn price ( $8) ) for making a $ IM sot of tenth as he would for a higher-priced set. DoutisU , however , who make teeth at the rate named al ways do their eSJiOiork In cheap upper and lower gct * . f twth the teeth cost $0 , while in the hiiflivrwrictel sets the toelh arc worth but $ -J more. In cheap sets the only mldilional'BV\T'iiRes \ is for rubber and piaster. The latter is worth , pos sibly 5 cents , iJUdllio rubber 25. f ho materials used in dentistry cost but little. It is the work mid * kill for whieji thn patient is obliged to pay. You will ex cuse me , " said my informant , looking at his watch , "tv $ U have an engage ment at mv office at this hour. " A laboratory can be filled up wltli all tlio necessary tool. ' for the practice of dentistry at a co-rt o from $ 00 to $100. Au NOTKS.

Alter a while there came in a stranger , a tall , handsome follow , with a broad-brimmed hat , and black hair fall ing way down on to his shoulders. Ho took a look around thn room , and then walked straight up to the faro table , where Thacker was dealing. "He put his hand iu his hip-pocket and drew out a big wallet tieii with a string. lie opened the wallet slowlyaud took out a iflOO bill , and then closeel the pocketbook - book , tied the string , and put the wallet back in his poekct again. "Then he laid the bill down on the .jack. Somebody got broke just then and left the game , and the stranger took his scat. Thaeker made a few turns unel the jack came out loser , and away wont the $100 bill into the dealer's drawer. "The stranger just looked kinel of straight across the table at 1'hacker , anil Thacker looked back at him. Then ho put his hanel back and again drew out the wallet , unwound the string , and took out another $100 bill , and again tying the wallet put it back in its place again. By this time the deal had ended anil Thacker was shutUing the cards. "The stranger waited until the cards were in the dealing box again , all the time watching Thackcr's shuttle. When all \yas ready ho placed the $100 bill on the jack again , anil in .t turn or two the jack lost again ami away went the stranger's money. Then ho looked again at Thacker , and he looked longer this time , and Thacker looued back at him. Then ho reached back for the wallet again. Ho took it out and drew forth' another $100 bill , and tied the wallet . with the string again. This time ho laid the wal let etowu ou the table , right in front of him. Ho laid the bill on the jack once more ami away it went like all the rest. Then ho looked over at Thacker , right straight in the eyes. Thacker was an ar rant coward and ho lookeel kinel of funny just then. The stnuigcr didn't say anything. Ho just picked up that pocketbook and mi- wounel the string , took out another $100 , tieil the pocketbook again , and laid it on thp table. Then with his loft hand he laiel the money on the same card , and with his right hand ho reached around to the other hip-pocket and drew out an Arkansas toothpick it looked to me about llirco feotl ong. Then ho leaned across the table and shook his knife in Thacker's face anel spoke for the first time. "Mr. Dealer , " said ho , ' 'don't you think you can make that jack win ? ' ' Thacker turned as white as a sltectanel never said a word. Ho went on with the deal and that time the jack won. It. kept on winning , too , until the stranger quit the game The next day wo found out that the stranger with the long hair was one of the smartest brace faro dealers in .the west. . - liETTEH IjIST.
