THE DAIKS EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA.. MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 18G0.
HII Mai, A PKAMATIC.
The Oprnln oflhe Arrh Hirret Theatre.
An tti maniurernent announced the performance
f ft. nVds evening as the opening of the regular
lull m ! winter season, It Id to be presumed that the
.,,el of dirty drama which preceded It may be con-
U red as something entirely exceptional, and not as
flpeclmcn of the Uuo of buelneM to be adopted in
th it win be well If this Is the case, for tho Arch has
refutation as a decent theatre which It cannot
Jiiilitiv peril, end although such exhibitions as have
Held the boards for several weeks past may yield an
immpfiinte nroflt and prove attractive to a curtain
Daws of persons, they will certainly drive awav
those who have patronlr.ed the theatre most llbii
rally in the paHt, and who are likely to prove its
most certain support In the fature, pro
vided they can take their families there at
any time without fear that their eyes and ears will be
.assailed by blackguardism of tho most disgusting
typft There is no present excuse for the prostitu
tion of the Arch street theatre to the base purposes
of the blonde burlesques, as its last season was a
mrst prosperous one, and tho usual plea could not
be made that It was necessary to present nastiness
because the public would not patronize decency.
It is with no common satisfaction that we an
nounce the return of a creditable stylo of perform
ances at this theatre, and welcome to the boards
actors who can lay some claim to the title of artists.
Hiilwer's comedy of Money was Riven on Saturday
evening to inaugurate the' season and to Introduce
the new company to the public. The piece Is wr-ll
adapted to this purpose, as it is an animated and
ronneii satire at me vice or money worship a vice,
iv-tlie-way, not at all peculiar to our dnv or genera
tion nnu it presents a good array or dramatic char
acters that will enable the actors to show what their
abilities aro.
The 'hero of the play, "Alfred Evelyn," was per
sonated by Mr. .1. F. Catlicart, tho new leading man.
This gentleman last appeared here as the support of
Charles Kean, and he Is remembered by many of
our pltivgoers as an actor of much aridity. Mr. Cath
cart's '"AM red Evelyn" was not as satisfactory as
the rendition of the same part by either Mr. llurton
Hill or Mr. Charles Wulcot, but we think that in
niiniv. if not In most, rr.lm he will prove himself their
superior. Mr. Cathcart Is a good actor, but his style
is too liielo-ilramatlo and heavy for such a part as
that assigned him on Saturday, and although his
forcible acting was much Hpplauded, as force always
will be, lie rcll very far short of the critical require
ments of the case.'
The honors of the evening wore carried oil bv Mr.
George Stoddart and Mr. Craig, both of whom gave
excellent pieces of character acting In the roles of
Sir Frederick Blount" and "Mr. Graves." Mr.
Mr Stoddart Is not an entire stranger here, as ho
was at one time a member of the Arch Htreet. Com
Tinnv. nnrter the management of Wheatley. He was
nt
nt. iiuit. time a very voung man and he lias lm-
imviil irreiltlV.
His "Sir Frederick Mount' was a
genuine bit of acting, too refined and too near the
truth m hi. considered as a caricature, and Mr. Stod
dart took his place at once in the regards of the audi
ence as a thorough artist. Craig's "Mr. Graves" was
a caricature, but such a one as the text perhaps Justt
tles and such a one as the aator knows how to per
petrate without spoiling Ills effects by overdoing a
good thing. Mrs. Maeder s "Lady Franklin" is also,
to be considered as an excellent performance. The
part of "Clara Douglass" was sustained by Mrs.'
Drew, who certatulv appears to less advantage lu this
and other sentimental parts than she does in pure
comedy. Mrs. Drew's comedy is usually hearty and
nualfectcd, while her sentiment Is generally just the
contrary. Miss Price would have made a more
pleasing 'Clara" than the fair manageress, whose
abilities, though great, are limited.
Miss Annie Firman, a blonde whose golden hair is
seemingly all her own we hope she has never been
in the blonde "business" made a good imprcssiouas
"Georglana Vescy," and Mr. F. Mathews, another
new comer, gave a creditable personation of "Lord
lossmore." The other parts were well sustained,
as follows: "Sir John Vesey, Mr. Mackay; "Cu
tain Dudley Smooth,-' Mr. U I James, and "Benja
min Stout, M. P.," Mr. S. Hemple.
Miss Lizzie I'rice appeared in the farce of the
Four Sitter, which was given as an after piece, and
acted with much spirit as the sisters.
The CI ly Amusement.
At thk Wai.nct the demand to see Mr. Booth as
"Hamlet"' has been so great that lie will appear in
Dial character this evening, to-morrow, and on Wed
nesday. On Thursday The Lady uf hijonn will bo
given, and on Friday Much Ado About XuthUig.
AT TUB Cuksniit Charles Iieade's drama of Rinhcl
the Jiraier; ur, Cloud ami Siinnhine will be presented
this evening. This is a beautiful plav that is well
worthy of the attention of those who can appreciate
what is refined and good in dramatic art. The char
acter of "Rachel" is one of Miss Iveene's specialties,
and she has been very successful with it
in other cities. In calling attention to
this as one of the earliest ol Meade's dramatic
elforts. Miss Keenc alludes to the successor his play
of Dora In Boston, apparently oblivious of the fact
that it has been produced here. The New York and
Boston clitics made the same mistake, and spoke of
Dora as if it was an entirely new piece. Wo believe
that Dnia was llrst pei formed in Philadelphia; at any
rate it wa brought out season before last ut the
Chesnut. with Mrs. Bowers as the heroine, and
although on account of the unpopularity of the
theatre it did not prove as great, an attraction as it
should have done, It was warmly praised by all who
aaw it.
The performance this evening will conclude with
a new comedietta entitled The Happy fair.
At thk Akch the drama of J-'iirmnia will be pro
duced this evening.
The Pakki'a-Roha English opera troupe will open
for a season of twelve nights at 'he Academy of
Music on Monday evening ne.U Balfe's opera of
The Puritan's Daughter, with other novelties, will be
produced, also a number of work seldom attempted
by any operatic combination. The sale of seats will
commence on Thursday at it A. SI.
AT THK El.KVENTH bTKKKT Ol'KllA HOUSE a nCW
programme will be presented tilts evening. A bur
lesque of Surma will he given ; also a new interlude
entitled MrMike'n Filiina Party, ami an Ethiopian
farce called The Trip t J'an'i. "The funny interlude
entitled Scrim ?'(i the. City Cam will be repeated, with
ther interesting features.

Tub Steam Coi.mek Ratti.ksnakb. Much in
terest is felt in this city in the Hue of steam colliers
of which the Rattlesnake was the Hist to go Into
operation, and there was therefore a general feeling
of regret when tho intelligence was received that
she Mud met with a serious lutshap. On Thursday
lust, as the Rattlesnake wus passing through Hell
Gate, a tow of two schooners ami a sloop which pre
ceded her broke adrift and drilled down upon her.
In order to avoid a collision she was forced to make
abroad sneer, and unluckily struck upon a small
rock that stove a hole in her starboard bilge, so that
to avoid sinking it was found necessary to run her
on shore. The wreckers went to work as soon as
possible and covered the hole with quilting and
canvas, so that she could ho pumped out. ai.il she
w as taken to Brooklyn, where she is now discharging
m i cuiyo. xi ia vApecitni iiihi tue cargo will all be
out by this evening, and as tho damage is not very
grest. sho will probably be ready to reload and pro
ceed lu roiuano, witnuer sue is nouiiu, oy i liursuay.
This Is one of those accidents to which any vessel
is liable. Captain Mershon is much praised "for his
goon judgment in placing the Kactlesnake upon
sunken marl about three miles from where she
Biruek, thus saving her from greater loss. The
vessel has proved herself all that was expected of
her, reliable, strong, and eillcieut. Her own pumps
were sulllcient to keep her free, and, with Hie rest
of the machinery, sustained a test in tills case which
effectually proves their reliability.

TIIE CITT TRUSTS.
An Aillnnrnrd Mrrltnar of the Bonrd-The
Onrntlon or 1ht Validity of the Uw Creating
the "City Trnsts" to bo Decided by tho Court.
Shortly after 11 o'clock this morning the Board of
City Trusts met, pursuant to adjournment, la the
Supreme Cottrt-roora. William Welsh, Esq., pre
sided, and Henry M. Phillips. Esq.. acted as secre
tary; Judge King, of the committee appointed for the
purpose, reported the following:
The committee appointed to make the necessary
arrangements for carrying Into execution the duties
prescribed by law to the Board of City Trusts, re
spectfully report:
That upon 6rganlzlng and preparing to enter Into
the performance of the duties imposed on them by
board, they found that on thesth of July last, the the
Select and Common Councils of the City of Phila
delphia had passed a resolution entitled "Of in
structions to certain City Oillclals."
By this resolution it Is declared " that all parties
having under their control or supervision any pro
perty left to the clt.v of Philadelphia for charitablo
purposes, be anil they aro hereby Instructed not to
permit any one, notfrbily authorized by these Coun
cils, to examine any of the deeds, books, records,
or securities under their control or In their care j and
they are further Instructed not to surrender such
deeds, books, records, or securities, nor to grant pos
session of any real estate except upon similar autho
rity given.
"Ana they are further instructed to notify all par
ties to continue tiia payment of rents, Interest, or
dividends, as heretofore, to i ho olllcers and agent
acting under the authority of these Councils," On
the same day the City councils adopted a resolution
declaring that the Committee on Glr.ird Estates be
and is liereby Instructed to employ counsel to
contest the validity "f an Act of Assembly
entitled, "A further supplement to an act entitled
an act to Incorporate lie City of Philadelphia, ap
proved the 2d ol February, ls.4; approved J urn) 3d,
1809. unci to defend the city of Philadelphia In the
possession, custody, and control of all properly be
queathed or devised to tlicii under the will or Ste
phen Glrard, deceased."
The first step deemed necessary by your com
mittee to lie taken was. t- notify the city authorities
that the 'Board of ci;.y Trusts" was duly organized
ami nnidy and desirous of entering into the ner
tormance of the duties imposed on it by law. 1 his
was done through one of their members, William
Welsh, Esq., who gave notice to this elfect to the
Mayor, the City Treasurer, and the City Controller.
Admonished by tin- above resolutions of Councils
that the validity ol the I aw was disputed under
which the Board of city 1 rusts has been created,
your committee found it necessary to take measures
'to submit this vital question, at the earliest practica
ble time, to tho decision of the Supreme Court of tho
Commonwealth.
For this purpose thev have retained, as eonnsel of
the Trust, the lion. Willium Strong, the Hon. Peter
McCall, and John Fallon, E-:q.
These gentlemen have pui, themselves Into com
munication with the counsel representing the city,
and there is every reason to believe that the ques
tion of the validity of the law will, at an early day,
be decided by the Supreme Court.
1'nttl this question is so settled, the board cannot
enter Into the general and active execution of its
duties. Cases, nowever, may arise, pending the con
troversy between the city and the Trust, in which
parties dealing with th clt.v may require the assent
of this board to contracts made between them and
the city, respecting property embraced by this Trust.
If such contracts aro really beneficial to the Trust
such assent ought to be given.
Your committee, therefore, ask that they may be
permitted to give such assent on behalf of the
Board. Provided, thai It shall only be given under
the advice and with the approbation of tin; counsel
of the Trust. Eiako Kind.

A general discussion w.n entered into by the
members as to the powers of the Board, pending
the decision of the Supreme Court, and several pro
nositions were submitted, all of which were with
drawn and the following, otl'ered by Mr. Stuart, was
adopted :
Jtemlrnl, That if any questions arise requiring the
assent of the Board, that the Board be assembled
upon the call ol the committee to take action
thereon.

Death of an Oi.o Actoh An old actor, well
known to the post generation of play-goers, ma le
a melancholy termination of his career on tho nth
inst., by dying in the Almshouse. William Anderson
was once a popular comedian, and he was a member
of the Richmond Theatre comnativ nt the time of
the terrible nre in isi 1. He was attached to the old
South Street Theatre in this city, and also to the old
Chesnut, uniier Warren A- Wood, In ism. It was
nere mat ne formed an attachment for Miss Jeffer
son, the daughter of Joseph Jefferson, Sr., and mar
ried her In opposition to the wishes of her father.
Anderson was a inau of tine education, but bia in.
discreet conduct estranged him from his family, and
nnallv forced him to abandon his profession and
take shelter In tho Almshouse. He was in the eighty
second year of his age at the time of his death.
' Fire. This morning, shortly before four o'clock,
the two-story stable, half bilck, half wood, ou Kater
street, below Nineteenth, was partially consumed by
Ore. It was owned by Andrew Gallev, and occupied
by h m and other parties. Galley ha 1 one horse in
it; George Bovd A Co., grocers, five mules and one

The water famine has at length ended. The thirst
of the city has been Blaned, and the parched fields
have been refreshed Rain, anxiously desired and
long looked for, has visited na in torrents, and the
world aronnd Philadelphia is glad.
About o'clock yesterday morning It started,
heavily at once, and continued, without ln'ewnls
Slon, during the enttre day and evening. During the
afternoon it was accompanied by a strong south
westerly wind, which at times almost approached
the dignity of a gale, rt was the first, alio in ftc ,
the only heavy and continued rain we nave had for
months. About 5 o'cioek ia the afternoon it poured
In torrents, and the varions inlets to the culverts
throughout the city were tested to their utmost to
carry on the water that flooded the streets.
Partly in consequence of the lowness of the
ground, and partlv because some of the common
sewers became choked up and failed to carry oil the
water which came down in such floods during the
afternoon, the vicinity of Twelfth street and W ash
ington avenue presented a novel sight. The lattery
named street, from half-way between Twelfth and
Eleventh, and as far west as Thirteenth street and
also Twelfth street, from some distance above W ash
ington avenue, down to a point near Federal street,
were completely submerged. The entire width of
Washington avenue nnd Twelfth street, between the
points named, presented an unbroken sheet of
water.whlch at one time was bet ween two and three
feet in depth, and stretched from house to house on
either side of the way. The neighborhood win, of
course, entirely impassable for wagons or pedestri
ans, and the. e was water enough to sail fair-sized
boats.
The cellars of the dwelling-houses on Twelfth
street, above and below Washington avenue, were
overflowed, and the coal otllces and other structures
on Washington avenue were completely Inundated.
The cellar f the large five-story building situated
nt the northeast corner of Washington avenue and
Twelfth street, known as Campbell's "Caledonia
Mills," was overflowed, and sonio damage to ma
chinery, etc., was the result. At one time the water
swept around the corner of this building to tha
depth of nearly three feet-
The registered distillery establishment at the
northwest corner of Twelfth street and Washington
avenue came In for a share of the inundation. The
cellar was overflowed, and a quantity of timber and
other material was dashed about by the water in all
directions.
Late in the arternoon some men, by the use of
poles, managed to clean out the sewer at the corner
of Twelfth street and Washington avenue, and bv
that means a considerable quantity of the water was
carried oir. About 7 o'clock in the evening the
streets were nearly clear of water, but a thick coat
ing of slippery mud remained on the sidewalks ami
in the streets, making foot travel very inconvenient.
The streets were well covered with water in other
sections of the city during the afternoon, but no
serious destruction resulted. Such damage, how
ever, as did ensue was as follows:
One of the walls of the mill at Twelfth and Bat
tonwood streets (lately burned out) fell down.
A frame house on Christian street, west of Eighth,
tumbled down. A family lived in the place, but
nobody was hurt. A cellar was being excavated on
the lot adjoining.
Sarah Jones, living at No. 527 S. Front street, was
wnshed from her feet and broke an arm by her fall.
Many of the cellars in the Tenth Police district
were flooded to the level of the sidewalk.
The water was two feet deep in the vicinity of
Mascher street.
A portion of the front wail of the new school-house
in course of erection on Third street, above Buttou
wood, gave way, lu connection with some of the
brick work in the interior of the building. The por
tion which was blown down was quite new, tho work
having been done on Saturday. Fortunately no one
was injured.
Gas Exrt.osiON. At 7 o'clock this morning a gas
explosion took place in the variety store of William
Barnes, corner of Main and orthodox streets,
Frankford. The gas bad escaned from a leak in the
pipes. The back windows were shattered, and the
wares in the place propelled into the street. A large
tin ki ttle struck Alderman Holmes, who was pass
ing at the time, on the back, and lifted him to the
other side of the way. Th store caught fire, but it
was extinguished before any damage had been
done.
Vessels Svkk Yesterday morning the schooner
S. and C. Carson, Captain Carson, w.is discovered to
tie in a sinking condition oir Richmond. Tne Djla
ware Harbor policemen boarded her. but Unking no
pumping apparatus on board, could not prevent her
sinking.
At about the same hour a large brig near bv was
observed by the olllcers to be ripidly tilling witli
water and sinking. They could rentier no assistance
in this case either, and the vessel sunk.
Au, Coi.ons. Charies Green, black, and Henry
Bine, black, have been commmed by Alderman
KerrJ for highway robbery upon Samuel frtroup. Jr.,
white. Mr. Stroup resides at No. ft is Souder street.
Yesterday afternoon, while wending his way along
Lombard street, between Seventh and Eighth, the
two "mokes" made a grab at his watch, but ouly
secured the chain. Tliey were arrested. Result a
aforesaid.
Riveh Piracy On Friday night last the schooner
Catharine and John, lying at Port Richmond, near
the coal wharves, was boarded by pirates, who car
ried off a barrel of molasses, a barrel of sugar, a
lot, of ship's stores, and a quadrant, impudently
using the vessel's small boat for the purpose. The
boat was afterwards found at Kaighn's Point, N. J.
The crew were not on the vessc it the time.
C'VTTINO Affair. On Saturday night a colored
man, on his way to Shippen Street Market, was at

THK NEW YOKK MONEY MARKET.
The following extracts snow the Btate of the New
York money market ou Saturday:
from the Herald.
I "The day closed on Friday with thr forced suspen
sion of half the houses in Wall, Broad, and New
streets, nnd Exchange place, wherever a brokering
firm had gold contracts there was a block to the
transaction of business. The Gold Exchange Bank,
the clearing house of the Gold Room, which usually
made itsclearauces about 2 o'clock, was unable
to complete the rrranuices for tlie day's transac
tions, tlie amount involved being estimated
at g5iin,oHl,0(JO. Creditors were forced to de
posit 'their collaterals with their banks or with
their debtors. Business came to a stand
still, and Friday night was simply a recess in and
not a termination of the day's operutions. Saturday
morning found the Gold Bank still unable to make
(ts clearances. The wold H00111 adjourned to Mon
day, and the precious metal which the day before
had been tho theme uf the most excited blilillne was
almost without quotation, tlie few dealers in it, coin
prising the bullion brokers, buying and selling it
very cautiously at figures wide apart. Towards
noon some of the larger honses who had suspended
through Inability to obtain negotiation of their claims -en
others opened their doors aud commenced making .
payments of such demands as tliey could meet.
The Gold Bank at length began giving checks for
balances where statements were not In dispute,
and this still further quickened the sluggish stream
of business, but at the close of the week the situ
ation, while much ameliorated, was still embar
rassed, aud may remain so even up to Tuesday morn
ing, unless the holiday of Sunday has been Unproved
to straighten out the confusion ut the Cleuriug House.
Willie tlie excitement on Saturday was not as great
as on Friday.there was a very apprehensive feeling at
one time for what might result from a run upon the
Tenth National Bunk, which, from its supposed am
Uation with the members of the gold clique, had
been tabooed by certain fellow institutions down
town. The run was precipitated by the throwing out
of its checks by the other banks, who were induced to
tills action by the dcbtorshlp of the Tenth at the '
Clearing House for over seven hundred thousand
dollars. Fortunately for the community the panic,
which might have resulted from this run was ob
viated. Tho indebtedness at the Clearing House was .
made good at the time for exchanges, while the
kecks presented over tlie counter were cashed in -'greenbacks
until the last demand was satisfied, the
umount thus paid out being a million of dollars
within one hundred thousand dollars of the entire
sum on deposit. Whatever the odium attaching to.
this institution fur its connection with the Erie and
gold party, it certainly withstood a siege yester
day which might have sapped tlie vitality of,
prouder institutions. The remark is made In1
no spirit of favoritism, but In commendation of what
. was really a magnificent response to a most hazard
ous attack. Had the Tenth National Bank failed ou .
Saturday, on the top of the great break in stocks on
Wednesday, and tlie bursting of the gold bubble on
Friday, a panic might have ensued which would;
have dwarfed those of 1837 and 1857. As it Is, the
week opens ou a state of affairs which, by the exer
cise of leniency ou the part of creditors and of ac
tive honesty on the part of debtors, may yet oe less
aggravated than at the llrst Hush appears.
"The locking up of currency in the Clearing House
or the Gold Room lias rendered money extremely
' active ever since tiie dead-lock commenced. In the
necessity f some stock houses to have their stocks
carried, rates ranging from seven per cent, gold per
annum to one aud one-half per cent, pur diem were
''""The bank statement shows a large falling off In
deposits, bo that the loss in reserve is ouly about
half a million of dollars, despite the withdrawal of
greenbacks and specie. The changes from last week
are as follows: ..,'
Decrease in loans vS'Aw
Decrease in specie ,,'J'.
Increase tn circulation..: KAA,
Decrease in deposits -
Decrease lu legal tenders 1'!ii41l,
"The next greatest sensation ulthougn preceding
the gold excitement In time-was in the sfock mar
ket, where a panic took place in the underbill
stocks on Wednesday and a heavy decline in the
general list. On Friday there was a sequel to this
breuk, particularly for New York Central, w lion
went oil tolia; imt on Saturday the market rallied,
but was extremely dull, owing to the dead-look in,
money, which forbade the execution of orders. I he
demoralization of the week extended even to the
Government uiarket.where prices broke largely, but
recovered Saturday evening. The closing street
prices were as follows: L'nlted States curreucy
