AMERICAN DRAMATIC FUND ASSOCIATION.

Annual Weeting-RepOrfs of the Secretary
and Trustees-EIectiOn of Officers.
The members Of this association held their annual
meeting at the rooms, No. S42 Broadway yesterday
afternoon. The attendance was very gratifying.
Mr.. John G. Gilbert occupied the chair. After the
usual preliminary business Charles s. Bernard, the
secretary, submitted his report. 1t held that the
noble design Of the association had been frequently
specially manifested; that its laudable object can be
adjudged by the following results:-That the amount
OF invested capital to date s4s, 1893; that since
the socety's incorporation-the year 1s4s-it had
divided among claimants $50, 537; that the number
OF claimants on the fund during the past year were
annuitants, 40; widows, 13; sick, s. orphans, l;
deaths, s. That the association the report further
advised had for long time great struggle for ex-
istence; but now new era had dawned upon them
and truly has 1t been said that there were few char.
tiles so widely popular as it to-day, which possesses
the element OF success that the fund under invest
ment is too limited. however as the full their
charter allows them to hold-$l25, ,00o-should be
raised and invested as thought best This could
easily be accomplished by concerted action OF mana

laysd.-This was an action to recover the value OF
$500 shares Of Desm0ines Gold Mining stock 1t
appeared that IN February, 1857. defendants pur-
chased for the plaintiff 800 shares OF the stock men,
toned amounting to $656. and deposited margin Of
ten per cent. On the 9th OF March the stock went
down to forty cents. The defendants demanded q
further margin from plaintiff and received 5000
shares Of the same stock, which on the Sth had
risen to one dollar, whereupOn the defendants sold
1900 shares at one dollar share.
The plaintiff claimed that the defendants had no
right to sell according to the custom of brokers, the
margin being quite sufficient. The defence set up
however, that In addition to the 800 shares the
plaintiff had ordered 200 more, and that they pur
chased 600 that III addition to the 5000 they de-
manded further margin, which was not forthcoming
the day they sold out 1900 shares at dollar
per share, leaving loo shares undsposed Of which
they rendered to plaintif together with $137 in
money, which was the surplus over and above what
was due on 1900 shares of stock. The questions
arose whether the defendants had sufficient margin
and whether they were authorized TO purchase the
additional 600 shares. The testimony was con-
dieting,

against the defendant to 900 damages for
an alleged eviction from certain premises leased to
him by the defendant on 10th street, In the month
OF February, 1885, for term OF years. 1t appeared
Ia evidence that the plaintiff went into possession or
the premises In May, 1885, and continued TO reside
there until the fall OF that year. when he made verbal
surrender OF the premises TO his landlord The DEL

plaintif then refused to remove Proceedings were
then Instituted by the landlord to recover posses

Stemmer. THE palntiff then brought this action for
Damages as above for eviction, and contended that
there could be no verbal surrender. The evidence
was very conflicting, and the defendants witnesses
testified that the plaintiff informed them that he had
given up his lease to the defendant and that he mad
accepted the same. The referee held this to be a
proper surrender and gave judgment in favor OF the
defendant which was entered up on Saturday last

that he was entitled to hold until the lst OF
May, and he brought this action against the
landlord to recover damages in consequence
of'his alleged wrongful attempt to dspossess him.
Mr.. McAdam, counsel for the defendant claimed
that the plaintiff vas only entitled to nominai dam
ages, as the landlord acted in good faith and under
the impression that the term had expired; but MIR.
Langtree, for the tenant, claimed that whether the
landlord acted maliciolsly in good faith the dam
