BARACA LYCEUM NUMBER.
Hungarian Orchestra Renders rro- aramme To Delighted Audience.

schlldkrets Hungarian orchestra were the entertainers at the First Baptist church lecture hall last night under the auspices of the Baraca Lyceum course.
 Forgetting the fact of the inelemency of the weather, quite a large crowd of appreciative and enthusiastic people were present.
 The programme was, for the most paS<, composed of the old familiar melodies and selections, which nearly everyone had learned in his childhood.
 Their rendition, by the full orchestra of eight pieces, with all the color and variations which Schildkrets is capable of filled the audience with delight.
 These splendid musicians found them selves called upon to respond to encore after encore, and they did all in most pleasant manner and came back in each instance with numbers that were even more entrancng. The entertainment closed with the playing of America, leav- ing everyone to go home feeling enlight- ened and patriotic.

 The resolution which was passed invit- ing Mir Corteyou reads as follows:

What Creditors Expect.
Excess of liabilities ;. ..a,ai,Ss4.ss

on the liabilities are preferred claims amounting to $l1b,376.38. Deduct this amount from the total assets, and Sl,204,- e52 39 remain. Considering unpre1erred claims of $2, ,466, ,S37. .32, the total deficit amounts to $1 1211 ,SS4.93
 s'This would appear to show that the creditors will receive about 50 cents on the dollar, less expenses of the receiver ship, etc., but 1t must be borne in mind that the misunderstanding commis- sarv stores are liable to considerable de- preciation-possibly $150,0O0, when the val ues as per inventory are considered.
 None of the creditors of the concern. however expect 50 cents on the dollar. Indeed. Accountant Rossen, after the meeting. yentured the assertion that 20 cents on the dollar would be more prob- able.
 The "Fictitious Million"
 That portion of the report which car ried with it a grain of the sensational, but which Colonel Bush suggested in ferred no probable wrongdoing. came to light when the matter of the companys surplus was broached.
 Concerning this matter, Colonel Bush read Ut will be found in statement No. 21 of the accountants report that of this surplus ($1, ,105, ,97S. 4D only $105,97S. A seems real. The $1,000000 was created in the fol- lowing manner: While the contract for the purchase of the capital stocks of the Lacy-Buek Iron company and Chatta- nooga Coal and Iron company. stipulates $9,000,OC0 in stocks, 1t appears that the Southern Steel company gave them $1, GOO, coo additional common stock of their holdings. The purchase of the Lacy-Buek and other properties was made in Decem- Der. 1906, but on the first of May 1907, journal entry was made charging works and properties account with s1.- 0o0.OOO, thus creating, apparently, fictiti- ous surplus to that extent, and adding that much to the value of the works and property which already had been raised to the full book value of the capi- tai stock. The transaction had no bear ing on the value of the company, and

 The following new members were also elected: J. R. Rosson, Warren Barnett. B. W. Semour E. J. McCrossin and ]. Morgan Flowers.
 A report of the retail trade committee was made by Secretary Babb, In which 1t was stated that a meeting had been held and formal protest made against the extension of the parcels post.
 Upon resolution d committee will be appointed by President Babb to assist the joint committee in the Greater lsirming ham campaign.
