NEw YoaK, Dec. 30.
The Washington correspondent OF the
Tribune gives M account Of tho English and
Montgomery fracas furnished by himself,
which differs materially from that telegraph
ed Saturday. Mr.. Montromery's account 10
fully corroboratsd BY Msssrs. VIM. Couch
and Dan'I Cox, who witnessed the affair and
who state that Mr.. English spoke, saying -
Chow are you, Mr.. Montgomery p" Mont
gomery neither spoke nor paid any attention
to this salutation, but passed on down the
avenue. Mr.. English stepped after him a
few steps and struck him from behind with
his cane, very heavy blew on the side Of
the head. Montgomery turned on him; Eng
though about to stab MIR. M. with it. MIR. M.
stepped back into the Avenue and sought =
piece OF brick.
English was running when Montgoms cry
threw the brick and hit him on the heel or
lower part Of the leg. Montgomery went
back for another stone, and English ran rap
idly away up 18th street. When Montgom.
cry came back English had run half square,
and was beyond his reach. We were tie
only persons close by-we saw and heard oil
that passed. Montgomery did not speak till
after he was struck. Mr.. Thos. Keener oor-
roborates the above. English has been held
to bail for assault. Mongomery's face 10
badly bruised and he has kept his room
since, attended by q physician. Mr.. NJ. had
already twice passed English on Saturday
without speaking.
