value in the building of a new one
BUT Architecs Flies father had worked
on the old building forty years before
and men said that what William N
Fire put up was put up to stay
SO an investigation was made and
the body of the building was found to
be firm and strong and the foundation
builded upon a. rock.
The plans for a remodeled building
were drawn and estimates made. A
building committee was appointed
which went to work systematically
AT first the task OF raising the amount
required seemed impossible. But peo-
pie who loved the old building worked
with equal zeal 70 those who hoped for
the new one and The result of their
labors was shown last night in the
beautiful, comniodious, brilliantly light
ed auditorium. The scene itself was
a grand one. -The tables were ex-
quisiteiy decorated with flowers, cut
glass and chinaware The white plas-
ter of Paris ceiling was SO nodded as
to resemble carved marble and the
hundreds of lights CLEANED along the
white fringe and ornamental work.
The flashing lights, shimmering on the
glass, the damask linen and The cos
tunes of the LADIES made a picture long
to be remembered.
Some Of the guests recalled one thing
and some another. Some recalled old
time scenes while some seemed oblivi-
Gus OF all save the present.
Some of the pioneers were thinking
of the time when the old building was
built and when there were but a few
Bcattered houses about Ogden.

The suit of W. H. Mcclure and
Amanda Mcclure against James T.
Little and Elias A. Smith occupied
Judge Richie most of yesterday. The
plaintiffs alleged that on October /,
1891. they executed and delivered to
defendant, Elias A. Smith, three prom
issory notes aggregating SS5, 43l.40, and
that TO secure the payment Of the same
the plaintiffs executed and delivered to
Euas A. Smith a trust deed, by whicn
the plainun conveyed TO James T..
Little, as trustee, certain real estate.
In the notes, when delivered, the
manner in which the interest was to
be paid, it is alleged was not stated,
and it is further alleged that after
the delivery of the noes and trust
deed Mr.. Smith in reference to the
payment OF the interest inserted the
words 'semi-annually' in the notes
and trust deed without the knowledge
or consent OF the plainti1fs, and tnat
the said change was a very material
alteration and SO changed the obliga-
ton that it is not binding on the PLAIN
tiffs.
The interest was not paid semi
annually and the holders of the notes
proceeded to foreclose. Plaintiffs
prayed that the notes be declared void
and that the defendants be enjoined
from selling the property in forecios-
ure.
The defendants, answering, admitted
that the addition TO the notes was made
because it was clerical omission that
the words "semi-annually" were not
put in when the notes were drawn, and
that said addition was made with the
full knowledge and consent of the
plaintiffs.
a temporary injunction pendente
lite, preventing the defendants from
selling the property under foreclosure,
was granted soon after the filing Of
the suit, and the case came on for a
full hearing ON its merits yesterday.
Messrs. c. F. and F. P. Loofbourow
and William Kahn appeared for the
plaintiffs, and Messrs. Moyle Zane and
Cosdgan for the defendants. The hear
ing was proceeding at the hour of add
journment and will be resumed this
morning.

The long anticipated banquet at the
tabernacle is over. 1t has for weeks
been looked forward to as a great So
cial event ana as one which would
mark an epoch in the history of Utah.
1t was an event where the old and the
new were brought into sharp contrast.
An interesting building was that old
tabernacle and the fond, almost sa-
cred. memories ciinging about it were
among the chief influences which kept
it from being RACED TO the ground
and an entirely new one put up. When
the plan Of remodeling it was first pro-
posed it met with great disfavor. 1t
was looked upon as an old shell which
had outlived its usefulness. There was
nothing, people thought, about the old
structure which could be of practical

few present who remembered such
things recalled them 10 show how
painstaking were the builders and how
they knew they were building for years
TO come
William N Fife and Walter Thomp-
son were skilled workmen and contrac-
tors in Salt Lake city. At the time the
old tabernacle was commenced they
were in the employ of Brigham Young
finishing the Bee Hive house and were
chosen by President Young TO go to
Ogden and take charge of the taber-
nacle work there which they did. Both
walked to Ogden and afterwards
moved their families from Salt Lake
city there. They remained with the
work till the move south in March,
1858. On the 2Srd day of July. 1858.
Mr.. Fife returned with his family and
