DOCTORS IN A RAGE.
New Haven Physician. ~ho Think sIur Has
Reen Cast Upon Them.

NEw HAVEN, CoNN., Nov. 9.-There are
scores OF regular physicians in this city,
and nearly every man Of them is excited
over the subject cf public vaccination.
Some time ago the Board Of Education
got frightened at the possibilltyoi asmall-
pox epidemic and worked up PETITION
for town meeting to make an appropria.
tion for free vaccination. The meeting was
held and only one man voted against theap.
priations, which was to exceed 5000.
Then the SeleCtmen took the matter in
hand. They didn't believe in any senti-
mental sQueamishneSs. II the town had
q lot Of Vaccinatipg 10 do, the business
should be done Just IS economically as
possible. They would act just as il they
had sewer to build or road to repair.
They would not pay doctors S. an hour
just for making little holes in peoples
arms They would let the vaccinatinR out
by contract. Times were dull for the doc.
tors, anyway, and the cheap .st bidder
could have the contract. The Board OF
Health favored the Boston firms virus.
The Selectmen found another brand that
cost Sl5 thousand less.
When the New Haven physicians heard
Of all this they lost their tempess. Last
night the city medical association held a
3 meeting, at which the members declared
as utterly opposed to putting
In bids, and inLimated that any man who
would bid was no doctor at all. They
were no two-dollar day men, and they
felt 60 badly about the slur the Selectmen
had cast upon their ancient and honora-
Bile profession that they adopted set Of
which closed with the state
nent "that it is the sense Of this associa-
ion that no member should put in q bid |
o do the vsccinating und.r the proposed
plan to obtain the service at the lowest |
:ost." This afternoon the Selectmen held
/ meeting and voted to carry out their or
ginal plan to let out the contract. So the

with their thin and ,scant attire they pro

He got $3.50 on Thursday shortly. before
noon and jumped on bus which drew up

CuArrAKooaA, TENN., Nov. 9.-PGticu-
lars have been reached here Of q terrible
cloud.burst near Fort Payne, in North Ala
bama, on Saturday morning. The wires
were down and no trains have been run
on the Alabama Southern Railroad since
Frlday-hence no earlier news could be
had, The most terrihle rain prevailed
throughout this section and eliminated in
the Cloud-burst.
The whole country was flooded BY the
rain which came down in sheets. Whole
fields OF cotton wero washed out, brooks
became rivers, and the tracks ot the Ala
bama & Great Southern Railroad, were
washed and undermined for distance Of
nearly fifteen miles. Several hundred
men have been engaged in repairing the
road since Saturday, and it is thought
trains can be run to-day. The river which
is rising very rapidly at this point, Is thirty
