NEW POLICEMEN SWORN IN
REORGANIZATION OF THE DE-
PARTMENTC ACCOMPLISHED.
New Men Will Assume Their Duties
This Morning-Firenen Take the
Oath of Office.

The final act in the reorganization of
the police and fire departments will be
accomplished this morning, when all
the newly appointed and confirmed Of
ficers and men will assume their re-
spective posts of duty. Yesterday Dep
uty City Recorder Sloan went to the
fire stations and administered the oath
of Office to each of the aDpointees, all
of whom will succeed themselves.
When the city recorders office closed
late yesterday afternoon only one or
two of the policemen had failed to
qualify, but the delinquents hunted up
the recorder after they came off shift
and by qualifying, are prepared with
the others to assume the new lease of
official life this morning.
The reorganization of the police de-
partment has made policemen of ten
new men, eight to succeed that number
of the old members who have been re-
tired, and two to fill vacancies created
by the death of Desk Sergeant David S.
Emery and by the promotion of Ser
geant Thomas H. Hilton to the chief
taincy. relieving Chief Pratt.
The new police officers are Arthur
Pratt, jr., for desk sergeant, and Chas.
A. Sperry, Richard Eddington, John H.
Johnston, Joseph S. Barlow, Thomas
Simpson, Andrew Smith, jr., Edward
w. Palmer Frank G. Lincoln and
James Williams. Eddington, Barlow

for six months last year. The eight re-
firing policemen are Frank c. Wire,

eph A. Busby William E. Carey, Thos.

SUPREME COURT REvERsEs
Second District Court In Building As
ISOLATION Case

The supreme court yesterday reversed
the decision of the Second district court
in refusing to grant defendant non
suit in the case of o. ]. Stilwen. plain
uE and respondent. vs.. the Peoples
Building, Loan q Saving association.
defendant and appellant. wherein the
plaintiff, on Dec. 16, 1885. sued to re-
cover the sum of $500 and interest at 6
per cent annually from Nov. 10. 1892
the date when he became the owner of
a certificate for five shares of stock of
the par value of $500
The certificate provided, among other
thlngs, that at the option of the holder.
the sum OF $500 might be withdrawn at
any time after three years from date
of certificate. together with annual in
IereSt hereon at 6 per cent from date
OF certificate. Subsequent to the time
plaintim became a. member OF the asso-
citation, the defendant company, an in
corporation organized under the laws
of the state Of New York. enacted
amendments To its bylaws providing
that only half the receipts of the asso-
citation in any one month shall be appli-
cable to the payment of withdrawal
claims, and also that thirty days notice
OF intention TO withdraw shall be given.
such claims TO be paid in order of pre-
sentation.
To the plaintiffs demand for settle
ment on withdrawal. the association
replied that the claim would be paid in
its regular order and afterward suit
was brought to recover the $500 and in
terest. At the trial, the defendant
moved for non-suit upon the ground
that the plaintiff had neither alleged
nor proven that the association had
any funds legally applicable to the re-
demption OF plaintiffs stock certificate.
The motion was overruled and from
the judgment Of the lower court giving
plaintiff the amount of his claim, the
defendant appealed.
The supreme court opinion, written
by Chief Justice Bartch and concurred
in by Justices Miner and Baskin. holds
that the plaintiff was deemed to have
had full notice of the amendments to
the associations bylaws relating to
payment of withdrawal claims and that
he was bound by the statutes govern
ing the corporation, its articles and by
laws, since, as a stockholder, he became
entitled to all the benefits Hereunder.
and also became subject to all Ihe LA
bilities and disabilities of a member.
The opinion also holds that amend
ments to the associations bylaws We're
prudent and reasonable.
In the case at bar plaintiff failed to
allege and prove that the association
at any time had any funds which We're
applicable under his contract to the
payment of his claim. Nor was there
any allegation in the complaint charg-
ing the defendant with bad faith. fraud
or neglect in providing the means with
which to pay the debt, neither was
there any dispute as to the amount due
from the association.
The concluding portion of the su-
preme courts opinion states:. we are
aware that the authorities upon this
question are not all harmonious, but we
think those which support the conclu-
sion reached herein rest upon the better
reason. The case must be reversed, with

ORGANIZATION OF WHEELMEN
KNOWN AS THE UTAH CYCLE
PATH LEAGUE.
Will Build Cycle Paths Along the
Country Roads-Improvement of
the Road to Ogden.

Several prominent wheelmen have
organized an association known as the
Utah Cycle Path League, whose object
will appeal to almost every man or
woman in the state who rides a wheel.
The association, which starts out very
modeStly, proposes to set industrious.y
at work to build cycle paths along the
country roads leading out of this city
north and south.
The first problem which the associa-
ton will tackle will be the stretch of
road just north of Beck's Hot Springs,
known as "Becks HILL" and the first
money obtained from membership fees
will be expended in constructing good
path beside the road up this hill. With
this small beginning the association
will not be satisfied however, for if
the league prospers, as it certainly
ought to do, the path will be extended
farther north. Through the Davis
county settlements as far as Layton
the roads are excellent, but beyond,
over what is known as the sand hills"
is q stretch of road which is a terror
TO wheelmen. With the cooperation
of the Ogden cyclists, it is hoped in
time to construct good, rideable path.
When that is done, the thirty-seven
miles between the two cities will be but
a pleasant spin, whereas now it is a
full days hard journey.
A subscription paper is being circu-
lated, and largely signed by wheelmen
to start the league going. Every
cyclist will be asked to contribute 80
cents, and this will entitle him to men,
bership and membership badge.
With the money obtained, work will be
prosecuted at once, and the scheme
should, and probably will, receive sup
port sufficient to enable number of
miles of path to be constructed this
wear.

SMITH VS.. SMITH.
Divorce Modified So That the Chill
dren Nav Go to School.

Probably the last order that ever will
be made in the old divorce suit of Ida
Leonora Smith VS.. Silas T. Smith was
made yesterday by Judge Hiles. After
the lapse of several years the decree,
in so far as it related to alimony, was,
on March IA, 1886, modified so that the
title to ten acres of land in the south
east corner of the southwest quarter
Of section % township south of range
l west, was vested in the children of
the divorced couple. Leonora c., Elias
w, Fred, Daisy, Don and Amos O.
Smith, for their use and benefit.
Mr.. and Mrs. Smith have since re-
married to others, and yesterday the
old decree of divorce was, by consent,
again modified so that the title to the
land passed to the father of the chill
dren so that he could better provide
means for educating his sons and
