WASHINGTON, March 20.-There appears
70 be reasonable hope that az least two OF the
United States vessels wrecked on the Massachu-
setts coast may be saved. Lieutenant-C Command
or Blcknell to-day telegrsphed the Navy De-
partment that the Gelena is being lightened,
that tho weather Is favorable, and that the Ga
lena and the Nina may be fiOated. IL is doubt
full, however, whether the Galcno, II iOated, can
be repaired by the Government, a. the estimated
cost OF retting her before the wrcck was close 10
the twenty per cent limit of cost fixed by the law
and If the injuries since received should prove
10 be extensive their repair might involve the
expenditure OF money Ia excess OF that limit.

AsHEvII.LR, N. c., March 20.--A hostile
encounter occurred last night about 8
o'clock at the Grand Central Hotel be-
tween Sheriff ID. l.. REYNOLDS and DIR. j..
@. b. Justice. a young physician of this
city. There had been some previous ILL
feeling between the parties. The Sheriff
was sitting in the hotel Office when DR..
Justice entered from the supper-room.
There was a menacing look from the Doc
tor, TO which the Sheriff responded with
blow which staggered the Doctor, who on
recovering his equilibrium drew his pistol.
The Sheriff thereupon drew his pistol.
DIsAENED.
Prompt interference prevented shooting
and both parties were disarmed. DIR. JUS
tice withdrew and about fifteen minutes
later entered the Office where the Sheriff
still remained with a Winchester rifle.
Chief-of-Pclic Baird wrested the weapon
from his hands. DIR. Justice was arrested
and gave bond of 800 for his appearance
before the Mayors Court this morning.
NOBODY HURT.
The Sheriff has been fined IS for al

continued. Some fear moro trouble, hut
as the physician was moro or less under
the influence of alcohol when the affair
occurred probably sober counsels Will have
their due influence.
