NIGHT ON FERRY BOAT.

Charleston, Dec. 2O.-Forty passen-
gers who left Charleston at II p. M
Saturday on the ferry boat Sappho
for Mount Pleasant. three miles
across the bay, declared they spent
a very comfortable night aboard the
craft. They did not arrive at their
destination until after o'clock this
morning. Ploughing through one of
the thickest and most persistent fogs
ever recorded her. the Sappho, a few
minutes out from Charleston, lost her
bearings and slid upon a sand bank
back of Castle Pinckney. The tide
was falling. A tug boat very easily
pulled the Sappho from her roost this
morning ten hours later on a strong
flood. No wind and moderate temper
ature helped to the comfort Of the
stranded passengers. Their families
ashore were soon notified Of their
position and safety. The boat was
undamaged.

SHARP WORDS EXCHANGED.
HEFLIN AND MOON NEAR BLOWS
IN LOWER HOUSE.

Isagstlalc Takes Part in Bitter Debate
on Postal Bill Observation-Disclosures
ations Of Moon of Railroad In
fiucnccs Cause Trouble.
Washington, Dec. 19.-After two
days of hot words which eliminated
today in exchange of invitations to
personal combat between Representa-
tives Heflin of Alabama and Moon of
Tennessee, the house adopted a spe-
cial rule to consider legislation for
reforms demanded by the postoffice
in connection with the annual postal
appropriation bill. A DETECTION of
Democrats defeated a similar rule,
which provided for consideration Of an
amendment decreasing postmasters'
salaries, elimination Of assistant post
masters, experimental substitution of
contract service for the rural delivery
service, increase Of salaries for rural
carriers, changes in the compensation
paid railroads for CARRYING the mails
and other reorganization plans Of the
department
The rule was passed late today with
the provisions for cutting postmasters'
salaries, abolishing assistant postmas-
ter and the rural service substitution
scheme eliminated.
A speech by Representative Moon
after defeat of the original rule, in
which he intimated that 'some rail-
road influence had operated to shift
Democratic votes caused a bitter de-
bate today. Representative Heflin de-
nounced Mr.. Moons statement as
"false and untrue Mr. Moon chal-
lenged him to make the same COM
ment off the floor of the house, and
Mr.. Heflin expressed his Willingness
to do so. The two representatives
were advancing threateningly towards
each other when half dozen men,
bers stepped in between them.
Republican Leader Mann, who had
led the fight against the original rule,
later renewed the controversy.
''The charge has been made on this
floor, he said, that the influence of
railroad interests has been felt in this
house. believe it is the duty Of the
house, If the charge is not true, to re-
pudiate the charge and condemn the
man who made it. If this is true, then
the house owes it to itself to investi-
gate the charge and punish those men
whose votes have been changed by
railroad influence"
Representative Ragsdale Of South
Carolina said that when the gentle
men charge that there is railroad in
fluence enough on the Democratic side
Of the house to defeat this legislation I
do not belieev it and I repudiate it,"
well, the gentleman has his opin-
ion," replied Representative Moon. IF
the hit dog yelps, let him yelp."
Representative Webb of North Car
olina said he was not influenced by
railroads, but by my own colleagues,
who think are high-minded, honest
and conscientious men,"
A little later Representative Moon
in a brief speech disclaimed any in
tentiOn to reflect on the honor or in
tegrity of any member of the house."
He said that his speech was made Sin
the heat Of debate" and may have
been little too rough" He offered
to withdraw any Offensive language"
he might have passed.
