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.

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

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

This grtat disproportion of stock to the debt, la

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

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.
