' 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

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.

TIicOIil Police Headquarters in Lon

of tlio Plncc.
London Globe : Scotland Yard is
doomed. 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.

HE MADE THE JACK WIN ,
AVIleu Hie Hundred Dollar Mill Tailed
the Toolltplole Fetched JIllii.
Salt Lake Tribune : "I saw an amus
ing scene in a gambling house in New
Orleans some years ago , and that man
there , with the broad-brimmed hat ami
long hair , reminds mo of it , " said a guest
sitting upon the Walker house porch last
evening.
" 1 don't know how many years ago it
was. but it was when gambling was even
livelier there than il is now. 1 was in a
club house where they wore running a
brace game a game where it was impos
sible tor a stranger to win. The place
was crowded , and old Thackcr was deal
ing and skinning everybody at the ta
ble. 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. . -
