AFfRAY Ar the. FREMONT AoosE.
4 Major Knocks a Co1ene 81 Down.
GREAT EXUTEMRNT III MILITARY CIRCLES.

An afray occurred at the fremont House !
last evening abont seven O'Clock, which atone |
time assumed the most portento1s aspects, |
but fortunately, by The interference of the |
bystanders, resulted in little damage beyond a |
personal renconIre, passage-atr arms and . |
knock-doHn. The principals in the afftay,
which produced a decided sensation among
the peaceful graiu-bayers who usually assem-
bic in the main hail at that hour, were Col.
10. ". Bell, Of Bells Cayu1ry regiment, and
Major a. c. E1lithorpe, ex-Alderman, famous
in Investigations, ut one time Lieutenant Col
onel and Minor In Bells regiment, now at
taehed to Gen. Lanes staa, and almsYs tbs
man who don't love Comptroller Ward.
The two met in the hall OF the fremont
after supper, and met By chance, the usual
way. 4 few words were fntercfanged be-
tween the Major and the Colonel which, from
The rather astounding sequence, must have
been anything but gentle words. Two men
often Interchange words in the hall Of the
fremont, and the spectacle was by no means
IN unusual one aud did not attract particular
attention But for one man to slnp another in
the face Is unusual, and that's where the ga-
zelle came in.
The Colonel using some epithet :Fattier more
forcible than elegant slapped the Major in the
face. The Major, his soul in arms, retorted
by dealing the Colonel blow IN the face, and
knocking him down The byEtaade1s rushed
in, and peace was restored. The grain buyers
resumed theiE transactions, quiet civilians re-
eumed their EVENING TRIBUNE, the Major
left by the north door, and the Colonel Left
By the west doo1
The afffay, as we are informed, is the result
Of quarrel Of some. weeks standing. Major
Ellithorpe alleges that be was promised the
position Of Lieutenant Colonel in Bells regi-
1nent and that having attained it, he IVES re-
