THE DA.IE.Y EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, TUESDif, MAY 30, 181. MXJ8ICAL AND DRAMATIC. The LUr" turt "No Escape" at the Walnut. Foote'. comedy of The Liar, which, sharing; the fate of a great number of capital pieces, had lain on the shelf for a good number of years until It was brought Into notice recently by being produced in handsome style at Wallack's Theatre, New York, was per formed last evening, with much applause, at the Walnut, Mr. Walcot being the representative of the romancing hero. The piece is slight in texture, there being scarcely any plot worth speaking about, and the Interest depends upon the bright, vivacious dialogue, and upon the complications in which the lively imagination and exaggerated language of "Young Wilding" involve him. As in all the best of the old come dies, there is a central idea, which is strictly ad hered to, and there is no wasting of words on eide issues which have but an imperfect bearing upon the main business in hand. The charac ters adhere to established comedy types, but have sufficient individuality to be interesting in themselves, and to contrast well with each other; and the play Itself Is a clever but somewhat highly-colored picture of London life of a couple of centuries ago. Mr. Walcot, who Is a born comedian, was completely in his element as the imaginative "Wilding," and he dashed through the part in lively rattling style that was very effective. Mr. Walcot's high animal spirits and easy, graceful manner always make his comedy performances entertaining; but pleasing as was his effort last evening, it was deficient in fine finish, and there was little in it likely to make a permanent im pression upon those who witnessed It. There Is probably no voung actor upon the stage at pre sent who has so many qualifications necessary for the achievement of a brilliant reputation in elegant comedy as Mr. Walcot, but if he wishes to obtain the place to which his talents appa rently entitle him as the legitimate successor of Murdoch, Davenport, and Mathews in this line of his art, he will be obliged to do more head work and to give his acting more polish. Animal spirits, graceful manners, and good looks are important qualifications, but they are not the only ones necessary for such success as an artist of Mr. Walcot's fine abilities ought to aspire to, and there are enough examples on the stage at pret-ent to prove, if any proof were necessary, that highly finished acting pays both in cash and reputation. We .do not make these remarks in a censorlon spirit, but for the sake of pointing out to an artist of real talent what were the deficiencies, rather than the faults, of a very pleasing per formance, for such Mr. Walcot's personation of "Young Wilding" last evening undoubtedly was. Mrs. Walcot as "Miss Grantham" a "girl of the period" of two centuries ago acted charm ingly, and Mr. Chapman gave a humorous ketch of the French-Irish tutor-valet "Papll lon." Mr. Bailey is also entitled to a word of commendation for a creditable personation of the heavy father of the piece, "Old Wilding." iS'o Escape, by Watts Phillips, which was the piece de resistance of the evening, enabled the -audience to make a comparison between the old and the new styles of play-writing. TJie Liar is a favorable specimen of the old English comedy, but it is not the best piece of ' the kind that has ever been produced by any means, while iVo Escape is above the average of the sensational dramas of the present day. It 1 0 scarcely necessary to say that the balance of merit is very largely in favor of the older play, and that Tits Liar was, last evening, vastly more enjoyable than Ao Escape. Mr. Watts Phillips i n this drama has packed his incidents closer than usual, but there is nevertheless much useless and uninteresting verbiage and many trivial details, which are, to say the least of them, tedious. The author appears to have concentrated all his efforts upon producing thrilling situations for the curtain to fall upon at the end of each act, and in this he has suc ceeded. The plot, which is somewhat intricate, shows a hardened villain confronted at every step by the evidences of his former crimes, until at length he is Involved in the ruin which he intended for others. Despite its defects, the play is an excellent one of its kind, and is de cldedly more effective than some of the more elaborate works of the same author. The , principal characters were last evenlun creditably sustained by Mr. and Mrs. W alcot, Miss Annie Graham, and Mr. Chapman. Tike City Amusements.

Far additional Spscial tfoHeu m Innidt Fagtt, TO THE STOCKHOLDERS OF THB CAM den and Amboy Railroad, Delaware and Raritan Canal, and New Jersey Kallroad Companies At a meeting of the Board of Directors of the United Companies of New Jersey, held at Trenton on the 19th of May, 1ST1, the following resolutions were passed : Resolved, 1. That the Directors of the United Com panies, viz , tne Delaware ana nantan canal com pany, the I amden and Amboy Railroad aud Trans portation Company, and the New Jersey Kallroad and Transportation Company, corporations of the state oi jNew Jersey, ao nereoy declare that it does to them seem expedient to lease the nronertv anil frauchlses of the said United Companies, and each of them, to the Pennsylvania Railroad Oompiny, on me terms ana conditions set tortu iu tne instrument of lease this day read to the lioard. 2. Resolved, That Samuel Welsh, A. L. Dennis, R. F. Stockton, John G. Stevens, Cambridge Living ston, and the General President be a committee, with power to submit the said lease to the stock holders of the United Companies, and obtain their consent, In writing, in proper lorm, and to do all things necessary and proper to consummate the negotiation therefor, and iu case two-thirds In In terest of the stockholders lu said company consent thereto, that the otllcers of the respective companies do execute the said lease, and attach the proper corporate seals of said companies thereto, aud de liver the same when Instructed so to do by this board. The committee appointed by the last resolution, In presenting the lease and contract to and with the Pennsylvania Railroad Company to the stockholders for their ratification, think it proper to make a brief statement in relation tnereto. In order that the mutual business between the works of the United Companies and those of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company should be con ducted harmoniously, an agreement was entered Into some years since, In which, among other things, it was provided that the Connecting Railroad should be built; that the United Companies should pro-rate on freight and passengers, aud that certain reason able terminal facilities should be provided. Experi ence, however, soon made it evident that many points had received no consideration, while others were provided for In an Indefinite manner; hence it became necessary to add supplementary provisions explanatory of the contract. Other points of dnier ence arose, however, from time to time, and com plaint were continually being made by both par ties, each putting a different construction ou tnotr rights and obligations While, In some Bense, there was a mutuality oi interest, yet, in tne actual man. aelnir of the roads, the Interests of the companies came Into absolute direct conflict. There were too many points of contact and attrition for tne arrange. ment to work smoothly, and the positlju became slmnlv that of an armed truce. From the great expansions of the systems of roads In the South and West, owned or controlled by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, embracing. It Is believed, an aggregate length of over seven thou sand miles, a necessity for enlarged terminal facili ties at some point on the New i ork waters became urseot. This being extraordinary, and not contain plated in the contract, added much to the complica tions already existing, borne years since, however, the United Com panies, foreseeing that this necessity might arise. purchased the property In Jersey City known as the Harsimus Cove, it was believed that, when the ne cessity arose, the Pennsylvania Railroad Company wouid aid lu the construction of the wharves and other necessary works. This, however, they de clined to do. The outlay would ne several millions of dollars, and they naturally objected to Invest so large an amount on property to wnicn tney naa no title: and the United Companies were likewise averse to making the total expenditure for a terml nus of a system of roads of over seven thousand miles, their proportion of which was only one hun dred, and they were equally unwilling to convey the title to tne rennsyivama itauroaa company, ana thus abandon one oi tne Keys oi tneir position. The differences appeared to be irreconcilable, ne! tber party being willing to Improve a property which was admitted to be essential to the prosperity of both, in the meantime, the want or facilities became embarrassing, and the relations of the com panics more and more unfriendly; a permanent breach seemed inevitable. As a last resort, the idea was suggested of enter ing into an arrangement by which the Pennsylvania Railroad Company should have the right to use our works for their own business, accompanied by a lease extended for a length of time of part of the Harsimus property. After full consideration the plan was abandoned by both parties as lwpractl cable. A crisis had arrived, and it became more and more evident that no temporary truce would avail, but that some arrangement must be made founded ou an absolute community of Interest, The rapidly ex tending system of roads controlled by the peunsjl- v aula Railroad com pany, extending from tne Pacific, required an independent outlet to tne seaboard; in fact, it is vital to their Interests that the terminal points snouiu oe nnuer tneir own control. 1 his could only be obtained either by a lease of the works oi me united companies or ny me con struction of a rival line between the two great cities. '1 he latter course would not only nave deprived tne United Companies of the whole of the Western bnslness, but would have diverted, to a very great extent, the Southern business, and the New York and rnuadeipma Dusiness proper, ana mat, prooa bly, at rates so reduced as to make the competition ruinous. While this would have been disastrous to the Inte rests of the United Companies, it would alsi have a fleeted the Interests of the Pennsylvania K inroad Oomnanv lniuriouslv. Alter a long ana patient negotiation, tne ieaie, as now submitted, was agreed upon by the directors of thn rpHnecttve companies. Its main provisions are, that the stockholders of the United Companies shall receive a clear net rental of ten per cent, per annum for the use of their works: the Pennsylvania Railroad Company as suming all their debts and obligations of every kind. It is well known that the amount of rental was greatly objected to by the Pennsylvania Railroad Board. As the United Companies had netted, for the last year, hut aUeut seven per cent, on their stock, it was strongly nrged that the rate of ten per cent, was too great i our ooaru was, uowever, urm, and finally the rate was acquiesced in. As regards the probability of the net revenues czeeediug ten per cent, under the present manage. ment, the following facta as to the past earnings of the United Companies will, perhaps, not be out of nlni'j. In the earlier days of the old Joint Companies, viz.. the Delaware and Kan tan canai, ana taa cam. den and Am boy Railroad Companies, very large dividends were made, one of the principal causes hmr the small proportion the stock bore to the bonds. For many years the stock of the Joint Com canlea waa but three millions of dollars, while the debt waa etirht millions. When earnings were made amounting to eight per cent, on the total Investment, of eleven millions, the result was as ful lows: ElBhf per cent, earnings on 111,000,000 of In vestment $80,000 Deduct Interest on 8,ooo,oo0, at 8 per cent. . . iso.ooo Leavi ng applicable for dividend Stoo.ooO or thirtee n and one-third per cent. This grtat disproportion of stock to the debt, la SPECIAL NOTICES. prosperous times, resulted In large dividends, yet the basis waa considered by the directors as dangerous and nnsafe, and the larger part or the funds re quired, of late years, for capital expenditures, has been raised by the sale, at par, of new stock to the stockholders, on the 1st of January the stock h Id by individual stockholders in the United Companies and the Philadelphia and Trenton Railroad Cjnipany was, in round numbers, nineteen and a halt mil lion dollars, while the debt was somewhat over fif teen million. Taking the rate or earnings on this totallnvest- ment to be eight per cent , the same as above, then the result would be as follows: Klsht per cent, earnings on 834,500,000 ia,T60,0fK) Deduct Interest on 815,000,000, at 6 per cent. oo,ooo Leaving applicable for dividend ti.3flo.0UO or about nine and a half percent, only. It will thus be seen that with the same rate or earnings on total investment, from the changed pro portion of stock to cietit, formerly thirteen and a third per cent, conld be applicable for dividend. while wlih the same rate or earnings now on the total Investment, only nine and a half per cent. oold be earned, and that the large dividends de clared in fwrmer years were due, in a great degree, to a small proportion of stock to the total Investment. The rate of eight per cent ha been taken. It being believed to be about the amount earned on the total Investment for any number of consecutive years. Some years it may have exceeded that rate, but in otheis It has fallen below that point. For the last year, however, tne earnings on the total Investment dropped to about six and two-thirds per cent. Many causes have tended to produce this diminu tion ol earnings, some of which, being exceptional. may be expected to cease; others, however, must continue to operate for some time. Among the former may be mentioned the partial failure of the peacn crop in certain years, paralysis of tne coal trade irom smites, etc, But it may be remarked that while these special causes of loss may not exist In the fature, yet expe rience teaches us that Other new exceptional cases will probably occur which cannot now be antici pated. Among the causes tending to reduce the net earn ings below those of former days, the Increase in the price of labor and materials is prominent. The net tarnlngs on most railroads would formerly average about liity per cent, of the gross receipts, now sel dom more than thirty. Again, a large increase or expenditure is made neceesary without any corresponding Increase of earnings. The public demand more coBtly struc tures. Real estate has to be purchased In advance of the immediate requirements, which, while abso lutely necessary in the future, must be a burden, not bringing with It an Immediate Increase of earn'ngs. it is true that on the other hand the business, and consequently the earnings, must be expected to in crease; but it most be remembered that with in creased earnings increased expenditures become necessary, to provide facilities to do the business, and with that, more additions to the debt or stock. In other words, while more money Is earned, the capital expenditure has to- be Increased in about the same proportion. The capital expenditures for this iear are estimated to exceed one million or dol lars. Many of our Directors have thought that It would be expedient to merge our several companies Into one, and by reducing the number of directors and otllcers that a greater degree of simplicity In the management could be obtained. vd ne this would pronabiy be tne result to a small extent, yet It Is extremely doubtful whether changes could oe made so radical in tneir nature ns to intro duce that absolute concentration of management so essential and necessary to tne prosperity or any company. The very constitution of the Companies will prevent an absolute unity of sentiment and opinion. It would therefore appear that, leaving out of con sideration the loss of business consequent on the building of a rival road, yet that the actual secured Interest of ten per cent. Is equal to if not greater than could have been earned in the more prosperous days or tne companies, naa tne same proportion or stock and dent existed, ana very much greater tnan It has been lately; and that it would be unwise to estimate that even with the sources of our business untouched, the amount of earnings on the total In vestment in the future will exceed those of the past; It may indeed be well doubted whether they would ever be again f quailed. The construction of the rival road referred to above should, however, be taken lnt consideration. In fact, the question re solves Itself into a question of a lease or rival road ; the last resulting in a divided business and at re tluced rates, must Insure small dividends, an I the conversion of the roads of the companies from main thoroughfares to simply local roads. The proposed lease now submitted for ratification has been drawn with the utmost care, Provisions have been Inserted to guard the Interests of the in dividual stockholders in eyery possible contingency. it insures tne. stockholders a nxea, sure income, lnbtead of a fluctuating one, ornate in .mount than baa tteen earned for years. There can be no doubt that tne stock, becoming, lu fact, bonds of the Pennsylvania Railroad Comnany, secured by the pre sent works of the United Companies, together with the additions that will necessarily have to he made, will take a high rank in tne market as a Qrst-o.ass investment, and will be valued accordingly. xne lease received ie utmost care ana scrutiny from your board, and Is recommended for your ac ceptance by a vote of sixteen members of the lioard in favor to nine against.
