ArmOry to Their Lady Friends.

10 fEtenOS.
The members of the Georgia Hussars

to look out for his lady friends and see
that they are invited to the armory. The
ladies' will be given all the privileges of
the club quarters, and at 1870 O'clock
there will be a shooting match on the
ranges in the armOry in which two prizes
Will be awarded to the ladies making the
Two best scores. During the first part of
the evening there will be different musi-
cal features both vocal and instrumental
by the musical members of the troop and
their lady friends.

avail themselves of the privileges of the
armory and make themselves at home
there. The committee in charge of ar
rangements for ladies' evening is Messrs.
A. Minis, A. McC. Duncan, s. f. Theus,

S., F. & WIS YEARS EARNINGS.
THEY WERE REDUCED BY THE
DESTRUCTION OF FLORIDA
CROPS.

Nevertheless, the Directors Will De-
clare "A Dividend of Per Cent. on
the Capital Stock-The Board of
Directors Elected, But no Quorum
Was Present and Ii Did Not Meet
TO Elect Omcers-Meetfngs of the
Other Railroads to BE Held.
The annual meeting of the stockholders
of the Savannah, Florida and Western
railway was held at noon yesterday al
the general offices of the company on
Liberty street. The following directors
were elected to serve for the ensuing year;
Messrs. H. b. Plant, NJ F. Plant, Robert
C. Erwin, NJ. X. Jesup, II. NJ Flagler, B.
+. Newcomer and J. II. Estill
This was about all the business trans
acted outside of receiving the reports of
the officers. As the newly elected direc-
tors could not hold a meeting on account
of not having a quorum. The only mem
bers Of the board present were Messrs.
II. B. and NJ. f. Plant and r. G. Erwin.
The directors will hold a meeting as soon
as a quorum can be obtained for the pur-
pose of electing officers and transacting
other business attendant upon annual
meetings.
The comparative statement of the finan-
ces submitted to the stockholders by the
treasurer for the years 1894 and 1895 is as
follows:

Expenses .......... 253S.676 81 2,49OS92 80
Surplus ..........s1,265 .O94 % $l,O6s. 565 "a
This statement shows a large decrease
IN the gross earnings, without anything
like a cores pOnding decrease in the Op-
Grating expenses. There is decrease Of
Sl95529.l8 in the net earnings for the year
just ended, as compared with what they
were a year ago. This decrease in the
earnings, the officials say, is due entirely
TO last winters freeze in Florida, which
destroyed the orange crop and many other
products, the transportation of which was
1 looked to by the railroads as a source of
revenue. the earnings along other lines
and in the transportation of other prod
ucts have held up well, however, and the
| loss has not been so severely felt as might
/ otherwise have been the case.
The directors will probably hold meet
/ ing within the next two or three days, and
/ when they do will declare dividend of 2
\ per cent. on the capital stock. The Of
