Special to The Herald.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, Dec. 2.-Re-
ceiver Vaughan's reports of the con-
dtion of the City Savings Bank was
made public today. 1t shows among
other things that the total amount OF
money deposited in the bank was
$31S,313.52; the amount on hand when
the receiver took charge was $3,24479.
The total liabilities of the bank are
$4S7, 6917S.
The total assets $570,425.O5, but
these assets are largely fictitious or
at least without great value. They
include personal notes for large sums,
given by Mr.. Estes on worthless col
lateral. The money borrowed by the
bank from New York and Louisville
banks was secured by collateral OF
greater values. A surplus from this
source will be in the failed banks
assets. The report shows some rather
questionable transactions on the part
of Estes.

the further end of the hall cherry ice
was served, while near the door XII
monaed beauties dispensed delicious
frappe.
But that which lent real brilliance
to the occasion was the presence of
half a hundred members of the Stu
dents Club and the society set en-
costume. Flowing kimonas, in all the
gorgeous colors known to the artist,
were worn, and the hair was dressed
in Japanese mode with two large
chrysanthemums worn low down on
either side the head. The evening
program opened with grand march,
which was gorgeously beautiful, and
during the evening number of march
es and dances were given.
The entertainment was in the in
terest of the Clubs circulating library,
and about fifty dollars was realized.
