"Fonl Piny" In Phllndclptild.
At the Walnut Street Tbeatre this evfinlnn a
dramatization of Charles Beade and U'.oq Bau
cicault's sensational romance of Foul Play IH
be played for the first time In this city. "Foul
riay," which appeared simultaneously In tho
London Once-a-Week and the Baston Every
Saturday, was certainly one of the most pro
foundly tragical novels of the century; and yet
there was an air of refinement about it which
made It quit acceptable to the most fastidious
of readers, despite the many bloodthirsty scenes
and over-wrought sentimentalising which It
contains. Us publication kept both tho weekly
trials on the high tide of success for months,
and tens of thousands of readers on both ldo
Of the Atlantic impatiently awaited the piece
meal appearance of the story. It seems thU
there was anything but tarmony between the
celebrated novelist and lramuti-t whose names
ere conjointly prefixed to it. By the original
understanding between them and the
publisher of Once-a- Week, Mr. R?ado
was to furnlth the entire manuscript of the
story, the name of Mr. Boucicault being Riven
as one of the authors, merely for the sake of
keeping at bay the horde of pimllcal play
Wrights who would have pounced dowu upon
such a swoet morsel of trr peJj, as toon as tho
l8t Instalment was placed before the public,
and the deuouemcut ascertained beyond all per
plexlng doubts. Not content with such a rare
Opportunity of heading off all competitors in
the production of a first-class dramatic sensa
tion, Mr. Boucicault reqiested of Mr. Ilea.le the
privilege of writing one instalment of the story,
Which was granted him. But he did not stop
here, and continued to send in chapter after
Chapter, until the publisher of Once-a- Week
protested against this violation of the contract
and refused to accept any more copy, excep
from the pen of Mr. Raadc. Tuis caused Mr.
Boucicault considerable chagrin, and he had his
Xevenge upon bjtti publisher and novelist by
secretly concocting a dramatic version of tho
story, which he placed upon the boards of one of
the London theatres, before its serial publication
Was completed. Mr. Reade resented this dis
courteous conduct by turning playwright him
self; aud in a few days Foul Flay, with slight
variations in the progress of the plot and the
denouement, was duly heralded upon the bulle
tins of a rival establishment. Both versions of
the drama achieved considerable popularity, the
public being led to wituess them because of the
unseemly squabble between the two authors.
But, In consequence of the extreme haste with
Which both versions ha 1 been gotten up, neither
of them, according to the London papers, did
full justice to the capabilities of the subject,
Boucicaull's version being characterized as ex
ceedingly bad, and Beadu's as still worse. Of
the truth ot this criticism we are unable to
judge, having as yet seen nothiDg of either.
About a month ago Foul P ay, with all Its
Clements of dissension, was transferred to the
American stage. One rainier appeared, claim
ing the sole right of its production in this coun
try, and in consideration of the daily payment
of $50 consented to its representation at tho
Worrell Sisters' Theatre in New York, under tho
joint management of Mr. James T. Lloyd and
Daniel H. Harkins, Nr. Uoyd acting as business
manager, and Mr. Haikius asiuniiug the leading
role. The first representation was on Monday
evening, August 3, the version produced being
claimed, at the time, to be the joint production
of Reado and Boucicault. It was only mode
rately successful, and for a couplo of weeks
scarcely drew pajicg houses. After paying for
two nights' performance, Mr. Llojd refused to
settle the claims of Mr. Palmer's agent any
longer; whereupon Mr. Harkinx, who attained
the rank of a major during the war and wis not
to be frightened by his partner into an act of
downright dishonesty, took from trio treasurer's
box part of the proceeds of the per
formance of August 17 and paid It
over to Mr. Palmer's ageut. Tols proceeding
on bis part caused the closing of the theatre
the next evening by Mr. Lloyd, and for a day or
two Foul Play was suppressed. It soon reap
peared on the boards of the Broadway Tbeatre,
to which nearly all of the actors In the original
cast followed Mr. Harkins. Mr. Llojd likewise
went to work, and with a new cast again placed
the drama on the stage of the other theatre.
He then instituted legal proceedings against
Mr. Harkins, to pievent him from continuing to
represent the play. On Monday evening of last
week four or five deputy sheriffs visited the
Broadway Theatre, effected an entrance by the
rear doors, aud before they could succeed in
discovering the whereabouts of Mr. Harkins,
did succeed in raising a disgraceful row, during
which a man and a boy were shot by them, and
left at the point of death. Despite, or rather
In consequence of this unhappy dis
turbance, both theatres continued to be
visited by immense crowds of people every
evening, and the same version of the romance
was repeated at both places several times, until
Mr. Harkins was finally enjoined from proceed
ing any further. lie then dropped the first
version of the etory, and announced for per
formaucc Dion Boucicault's dramatisation,
which, as performed at the Holburn Theatre,
London, had been published in pamphlet form.
But he was sutler ed to proceed in this direction
for a day or two only, and then an cllec'.u&l stop
was put to his playing of Foul Play by a fresh
injunction, the Court holding that the substitu
tion of the Boucicault version was a mere sub
terfuge by which he sought to show his con
tempt and defiai.ee of i'.s orders. Bo much for
Foul play in London and New York.
The versiou of the drama which is to bo pro
duced in this city is that prepared by Charles
Beade, and the right to produce it here was
purchased of the author by Mr. John S. Clarke,
one of the lessees of tho Waluut Street Theatre,
Who is now in London. Our playgoers are to be
congratulated on this fact, as it secures them
from the slight unpleasantness" which might
arise from a repetition of the supplementary
sets in the way of pistols and injunctions which
have been enacted in New York. New scenery
and mechanical effects are promised by the
manngement, and the play will doubtless be one
of the loading sensations of tho season. Briefly
sketched, the plot runs as follows:
"Arthur Wardlaw," the heavy, Intellectual
villain of the drama, Is the son of a wealthy
and honorable shipping merchant of London
While eowins his "wild oats" at Oxford, he
forges a check in taia lather's name for 2000
but contrives to throw the guilt on the shoul
ders of bis tutor, "Robert i'enfuld," who is
transported to Australia In punishment of his
eppareut rascality. "Arthur" b subsequently
admitted into partnership with his father, and
Is placed by him at the heal of the firm's alfiirn,
By reckless speculations he brines the houe to
the verge of bankruptcy, and then, to avert the
catastrophe, engages in a high-handed game of
villainy. "Joo Wjlie," the assistant demon
causes certain boxes of copper to be insurod
and shipped from Australia, as gold, the genu
ine metal making the voyago in auother vessel,
disguised as copper. On the former
vessel, "Helen Rollcston," the beloved
of "Arthur," sails for EngUnd, not
f'rcfltn'ng of the villainous schemes in which her
hero Is involved. On the same ship sails "Pea
'old," under an alias, deep in lovo with "Helen,''
and brlmfull of vengeance against "Arthu,.''
"Wylie" scuttles the vessel, aud part of the crow
escape in the long boat with him and reach
England after manifold disasters. The rest of
the crew, In company with "Helen" and "Pen
fold," take to the cutter, run short of water and
pr visions, pine away for want of food, and cut
each other to pieces with knives aud cutlasses.
Finally "Helen" and "Pentold" reach a lone and
unknown island in the centre of the South Pa
cific, tho only surviving member of the crew
dying a day or two afterwards. For months
they dwell together alone; "Penfold" gradually
wins the heart of "Helen, ' to whom he relates
his sad story of persecution at the hands
of "Arthur," and is duly installed in
her heart as both lover and martyr;
'Lleutenaut-Ueneral Sir Ldward Rolleston''
father to "Helen," discovers ber lurking place
through an ingenious contrivance of "Poo fold V
for "disseminating intelligence from a fixed
point over a thousand leagues of space," an1 takes
her to England, leaving "Penfold" behind to
be rescued when "Helen" shall have cleared his
good name from the imputations cast upon it;
"Arthur," having reaped the full benefit! of
his villainy, only to be plunged into
the most remorseful grief at the ap
parent sacrifice of bis adored one, has
his hypocrisy and crime fully exposed, jmt
as '"Penfold" turns up mysteriously in London;
"Wardlaw. Senior," reimburses tho under
writers who had Insured the bogus gold, instals
"Pen'old" and his father as tbe successors to
his business, by way of poetical and practical
justice, and eoes home to die in throe days ot a
broken heart; "Aittiui" goes mad as a March
bare, and is provided comfortable quarters in a
lunatic asylum; and to crown tbe whole sad
tragedy "Helen" is united to ber "Martyr," aud
in now one of the most model and happy wives
in England.

The Company bave ample means of which the Got

timoer and other materials fouud along Ihe line of Its

in alternate sections on each side of tts-road; also

Which alter paying all expenses was much more
than sufficient to pay tbe Interest upon Its Bonds.
lime euoiuiB are nu iquiiwhod ui tue vast tnrougu
traffic that must loilow the opanloar of the line to tfeo
Pacific, but they certainly prove that
FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS
Upon such a
their amount,
property, costing nearly three times
ARE ENTIRELY SECURE.
The Union Psclllc Bonds run thirty years, are for
flOOO eacb, and bave coupons attached. They bear
annual Interest, payable on the first days of January
and July, at the Company', office in the City of New
York, at tbe rate of six per cent, lu gold. The princi
pal Is payable lu gold at maturity. The price Is 10S
atd at tLe present rate ot gold, they pay a liberal
lueonie on their coat.
A very Important consideration In determining the
value of these bonds Is the length of lime they have to
run.
It is well k nown tbat a long bond alwayscommanda
a much higher price than a short oue. It is safe to
assume tbat during the uext thirty years, tl e rate of
Interest In tbe United btales will decline as it baa
done In lurope, and we bave a rlgbt to expect that
such six per cent, securities as these will be held at as
high a premium as these of thla Government, which.
In 1857 were bought U at from 20 to 2J per oent, above
par. Tbe export demand alone may produce this re
sult, and as tbe Issue ol a private corporation, they
are beyond the reach ot political action.
Tbe Company believe that tbelr Bonds, at the pre
sent rate, are tbe cheapest security In the market, and
tbe right to advance tbe price at any time Is reserved.
