Nxw York, Sept 12.—The f*w punn gor* on the Fulton ferryboat which swunf into the Brooklyn slip Wednesday night about 11:30 were treated to a aensationa drama. Mia* Grace Leslie, a very handsome brunette, about 80 year* old, accompanied by a petite young lady of the English type of boauty, have been for *ome time past paying in the spectacle of tho "Seven Raven*." Miss La*lie and her oompanion, after the performance, took the Third avenue elevated railroad to Fulton ferry on their way home to Brooklyn. In the cars they noticed a rather good-looking but stout young man, with a blonde muatache and ligfrt hair, attempting to attract their attention. They paid no attention to him and got off the train at Fulton atreet He also got off and followed them into the ferry house, and next into the ladies' cabin. He seated himself directly opposite the young ladies and tried his best to "mash" them Mil* Leslie and her companion waa very much annoyed, and at last thought they could evade the young man by leaving the cabin and going out on the forward deck. It seems that the young man merely took thia as an invitation for him to join them and be immediately acted upon the supposition. He went out on deck and approaching them addressed them both in the most endearing terms. He placed hi* arm gently around the waist of the young girl and tried to caress -toer. Miss Leslie, however, aaw what the youth intended. She her little flit and struck out hard froriPthe shoulder, hitting the young man fairly between the eye* and sending him aprawling on the deck.

HC said that if the Bankers' ami Merchants' should get its affairs in shape to carry out the agreement, the original plan might yel be carried out The Baltimore and OhiC would remain in amicable relations with tlx Postal, he said, and would not in any waj embarrass the service to the public by oouh pelling the Bankers' and Merchants' to takD Its wires out of B. and O. offices in whicl they had been placed. The separation took place yesterday, a.' the Baltimore and Ohio took the ground that, ru .be agreement had never been fully consum.ted by the Bankers and Merchants', the on ) year's notice of withdrawal provided for in t: e pooling contract was not necessary. l'qcsident Mott, of the Bankers and Merchants', said that the reason assigned by the Baltimore and Ohio for its withdrawal fr in V.iu pool was the embarrassed condition or the financial affairs of his company.

"I have known Mr. Morosini for sixteen or eightma years, and I must say he is not himself.
