DOCTORS Ar WAR.

Those of the doctors of the marine hos
pital service residing in Washington and
DR.. Doty, the health officer of the port
of New York, are having war of words
over the case of Engineer Miller, who died
recently in Washington of yellow fever
AS soon almost as Miller was taken i'll it
was suspected that he was suffering from
yellow fever, and when he died an au-
topsy was made, and 1t was shown beyond
a shadow of a doubt the examining ply
sicians say, that that fever was the cause
of his death. Straightway the marine hos
pital service called attention to the fact
that the quarantine service at the port of
New York was not as efficient as il should
be, the engineer having reached Washing
ton through the port of New York He
had been at Port Limon, a place infected
with yellow fever.
Health Officer Doty expressed a doubt
as to the correctness of the autopsy. He
said that the engineer was a wen man APP
parently when he was examined at the
New York quarantine station. The testi-
mony of the doctors who made the exam
AHdAtptl vi tic CnSltHti ; bOQS was 100
strong, however, for the doubt of the New
York health officer TO make much impress
sion on the public, and therefore the
health officer changed his tactics, and de-
clared that if he had allowed a man suffer-
ing from yellow fever to pass through
New York quarantine undetected the ma
rine hospital service had been more care
less in the discharge of its duty than
he had been, because it had not notified
him that the engineer had died of yellow
fever, so that he could have had the YES
sci on which the engineer reached New
York dsinfected and thus lessened the
danger of the spread of the disease in New
York city. The health officer of New York
said that the first Information he had that
the engineer had died from yellow fever
he obtained from the newspapers. If he
had waited for information of the case
from the marine hospital service he would
never have heard of it.
The charges which the health officer
makes against the marine hospital service
about offset those made by the marine hos
pital service against the health officer.
But though the doctors quarrel the pub
lie suffers. 1t is apparent that the quaran-
tine service at New York is not as efficient
as the public has been led to believe it
was, and the facts show that the marine
hospital service is not as vigilant as it
ought 20 be. Before yellow fever is kept
out of the country guarantees will have
TO be more effective than they are

PHENOMENAL TIDES.
Many Manufactures Along the
River Forced to Stop Work.
LITTLE DAMAGE DONE AS YET

THE TIDE REACHED ITS NORMAL
HEIGHT SEVERAL HOURS BE
FORE IT'S CUSTOMARY TIME.
CELLARS FILLED WITH WAITER.
This city was visited yesterday by
one of the highest tides for several
years, which was due entirely to the
strong easterly winds.
The wharves all along the Christi
ana were flooded, some Of them for sew
eral feet inland Several houses along
the causeway were threatened by the
water, which surrounded them, but no
damage Of amy amount resulted. The
water in the river reached it's normal
height several hours before the GUS
tomary time, but there were no over
flows until the tide had come fully in.
About O'Clock in the afternoon the
water began to pour through the river
bank beyond the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad, and in short time the
MARSHES were a broad eNpanse OF
water.
The shipyards along the river were
flooded and work on the bark Silicon
on the marine railway at Jackson and
Sharp Company's, had to be stopped.
The causeways were also flooded, and
several houses in that vicinity would
have been overflowed on the flrst fool
had the water risen a few inches
higher. One house was entirely sur
rounded and the residents were pre-
pairing the household goods for re
moval. The causeway was almost i'm
passable during the afternoon.
The men on the tugs were kept bus.
assisting the various crafts along tn
r river, which were compelled to chang
, their moorings.
Morrson's Point was completely sub
merged, and the Mccullough Iron Com
pany's yard was covered with waite
several feet deep. The Wilmingto

When rounding the curve at Old

however, didnotp prevent the enginef from

the highest order. Subsequent to this
he led am impulsiye engagement at
Gloucester, in1icting a considerable loss
ON CORVALLIS, for which he received
great praise from Washington. But
not alone was Lafayette conspicuous
for physical bravey. At York, where
he Joined Gates, Mifflen and Conway
with reference to assuming the ccm-
mand of the new division to be called
the Army Of the North, with headquar-
ters at Albany, the object was Winter
attack upon Canada. At a banquet ten
dered him by Gates the young French
man administered a scathing rebuke 10
the conspirators by reminding them
that they had omitted a very Im-
portant toast, and he proposed the
health of the commander-in-ch OF
the American forces, General Washing
ton. This incident lost him the favor
of the Conway cabal, but increased
the love and affection IN
which he was held by General
Washington. Repeatedly intrusted
with commissions Of the utmost i'm
portance, his last and mcst Important
command was of the army in Virginia,
By skfllful tactics he harpssed and ex-
hasted CORVALLIS without risl0ing The
loss of his own army in a pitched bat
tie until CORVALLIS, despairing of cap
turing the boy, as he called him, re-
tired to Yorktown, where he felt Sc
cure by his own strength, and assisted
by naval forces Here, in September
Lafayette was urged by his associates
to strike a crushing blow at Cornwall
lis, but with rare magnanimity and sin
gular unselfshness, he declined to real
the honors easily within his grasp an
boldly announced to his subordinate
that he would leave the honor OF cap
turing Cornwailis to his beloved su
perior, General Washington.
ITO this man and his country tn
Americans owe lasting debt OF graf
tude for timely assistance. Th
liberty and freedom secure
by their arms still survive to us, the
3 posterity. What shall be our contrib'
t ton to the perpetuation of that libert
p and thetfreedom? Institutions likethel
p are the bulwark of the nation, and tn
= liberty and freedom will be safe so loI
e as boys and girls are trained in INTEL
gence and virtue. Delaware took
: conspicuous part in accomplishing t
). happy results of the american revol
. ton. Delaware should be equally !
e nowned in our future glories. The co
i dftion OF public life in Delaware is 4
i what it ought to be- The Delawa
sr families are still honorable. Th'
1t sons and daughters possess virtues
