Numerous Social Events of Last Even ing—The Local Record of a .' Cold Thursday. ELEVEN GAMES OF CHESS Flayed (fyJ. «- Jellett at the New CiietiK Headquarters t.a«t Night. The new chess headquarters at 449 St. , Peter street were formally opened last evening. The club room is spacious and has been supplied with 12 tables, which | ] is as much as it was thought would be ' i needed at present, although there is room . . for more. A supply of chessmen of the j ' Congress pattern, loaded, with felt bottoms and '6y inches high, have been ordered but ; have not been received. These men are ; imported aud although they have been or- , del _d at two different places, a sufficient supply has not yet been found for the club. ; Consequently the old men had to be : used last evening. About thirty gentlemen were present to participate in or witness the evening's entertainment, which was a. j simultaneous exhibition by J. I. Jellett, of | this city. Arrangements had been made , lor ten games, but at the last moment it . was determined to have eleven. Conse quently eleven tables were arranged in two i rows with a passage way between for Mr. Jellett, who played the white men in all the games. Him opponents were John Fisher, C. G. Hallock, George R. Hushes, E. A. Halritz, A. T. Nettleton, H. Houlton, J. -SI. Warner, C. E. Maxiield. iii-zekiah Hail, 6. M. Orr and It. L. Maiden. Mr. Jellett opened all the games with king's pawn, two squares and each of his oppon ents responded with the same play. He then moved queen's pawn two squares in ; each game, offering the center gambit, and . received three DIFFERENT RESPONDS. Lome accepting the gambit, others bringing j >ut the queen's knight, and others moving he queen's pawn two. The play varied greatly, of course, from this time on. The , total time consumed was two hours and til- , teen minutes, many being completed early. ; Eight of the eleven games were won by Mr. i Jellett, only C. G. Hallock. C. E. Maxiield ' and George R. Hughes winning from him. 1 hi these the two first accepted the gambit, • which is quite generally considered the best J play. while Mr. Hughes moved queen's , pawn two. Mr. Jellett was very gen "rally , congratulated over his splendid achieve ment, as lie played the largest number of si- , inultaneous games ever played northwest of bhicago, with the remarkably good result Df winning eight. At the conclusion of the exhibition President Orr called the ] meeting to order and congratulated the . club on the possession of such commodious and well furnished quarters. Owing to the 1 lateness of the hour it was thought best to ] adjourn the transaction of business until next Thursday evening, and, after Mr. Rohrer had announced that it would be im possible to secure a visit from Capt. Mac kenzie, of New York, on his Western trip, the club adjourned, BDILDEKS' ASSOCIATION. .Local Builders Listen to Mr. Scrib ner. Keportof His Visit East--A National Association.

SCO THE TAYI-OK' _ PAULS I OWEB. A Deal Closed Br _ hich Chicago Parties Coins Into Posses ok' a Large and Valuable 1 roper! Hon. J. A. Baker, of St. Croix Falls, was at the Merchants yesterday. A Globe reporter inquired of him as to the outcome of the negotiations for the sale of 8.000 acres of lands adjacent to the extensive water power of the St. Croix river at Tay lor's Falls, Minn. These lands have been held for many 'ears by the Cushing estate, of which Mr. Baker is the agent. He said: We had given an option on those lands run ning until yesterday to a St. Paul party, who wanted a short c .tension in order to com plete the purchase, but as negotiations upon the same terms of sale had beeu entered into with Chicago parties, I have just telegraphed the latter, closiug the £ale to them. 1 have, further given the Chicago parties an option on Gen. Benjamin F. Butler's 40.000 acres in the same locality, and as the buyers wanted the property all together I consider the whole lot as good as sold. This deal.it is thought, will have the effect of putting new enterprise into this district, which is only about forty miles north of St. Paul, as the terms of sale of the Cushing lands include the privileges of one of the finest water powers in the Northwest, situ ated in a district that is noted both for the picturesque beauty of its scenery and for the value of its surrounding agricultural lands and hardwood forests.

To the Editor of the Globe: A letter in the Red Wing Republican, descriptive of the national soldiers' home at Milwaukee by an inmate, whom Gen. Jennison vouches for as truthful, says: Outside the grounds in different directions are ten saloons which to appearance are getting wealthy from the patronage of the inmates of the home. Indeed, it is one of the wonders of human nature how nearly all the pension money is paid for beer and whisky. Such testimony affords strong reason for having the grounds of a soldiers' home large, so the inmates cannot too handily get to saloons. Ex-Soldier. « .lotiicr Goose." The Mother Goose operetta given at Standard hall last night by the children of St. Paul's church, under the direction of Mrs. Harvey Officer, proved a most enjoy able and novel entertainment, and was thoroughly enjoyed by the large audience that gathered to hear it.

In New York "Unwilling Workmen Forced to Go Out by the - Unionists.* Talk of a Meeting of Business Men to Consider the Strike- -The ' Labor Outlook. Jersey City, N. J., Feb. 3.—During a riot here this evening the strikers attacked the Italians at the Erie railroad dock. They were repulsed by the police after a savage onslaught with clubs, in which many were injured. THE CHEAT STRIKE. Developments in the Contest of Capital und Labor at Sew York. New York, Feb. Very little freight is being moved along the river front this morning, and most of the railroad piers on the west side are still closed. The New York Central has 150 men .at work dis charging the big floats that for the past few days have tied at the pier, but the progress made is very slow. The company is re ceiving all the freight that is offered, but merchants are not shipping more than the most urgent orders, fearing delay. The Pennsylvania road introduced 100 men on Pier 5, but they were all green hands and had never handled freight be fore. The river fronts are practically in a state of seige. One thousand police have been massed in reserve at four different points. Patrol wagons have been sta tioned at each place, so that THE WHOLE FORCE can be concentrated at any given place in a short time. The 1.000 men can handle twenty times that number of rioters. One thousand more are in reserve at the police headquarters. In case of a riot the whole force can reach the scene inside of one hour. In addition, fully 500 detectives have been detailed for duty along shore, wearing plain clothes. Tne captains chosen to command the four divisions under In spector Speers are the most cool-tempered men on the force. . They have been selected as: not likely to provoke a light, while fully able to carry i on if begun. All the river stations report half hourly to Superintendent Murray. Over 300 non-union men of every national ity were brought to the Pennsylvania piers 27 and 28 this morning, including twenty negroes. Upon finding a strike in progress they :....:• REFUSED TO WORK. They came under the impression that they were •to lay track. Fifteen went over to the strikers and the others went to Jersey City. Over 200 more were kept on a tug boat, and not allowed to land. The police guarded the Savannah peir today for the first time dating the strike. The non-union men are boarded and lodged on a barge at the bulkhead.' They fear trouble in conse quence ofjthe shooting affray Tuesday night. -At the Hudson river railroad sheds and St. John's harbor a number of men were brought into - the yard in inclosed cars to fill the places of the Italians who joined the strikers. They are not allowed outside, as the pickets of the strikers are around. The police guarded them. The superintendent said he could get all the I men lie wanted and that the . strike did not i delay the delivery of freight. The boats of the Fall River line have not commenced running, and no freight has been received. The freight handlers on the Baltimore & Ohio Pier 43, North River, left work this afternoon, being called out by the delegate. They OBEYED WITH RELUCT AXCY, as they never had any trouble with the com pany. They were the last of the railroad men to go out. The men told Superintend ent Brooks that they had • no grieveances, but were forced to go but on call. They loaded up all the freight on the pier and swept the place clean. The men refused to accept any pay for their work, as they were going out on a call by the union, not on any grievance of their own. The Re public, of the White Star line, and the Erie, of the National line, could not be loaded by green hands, in time yes terday. The Morgan line pier is choked with freight and the gates are closed. Green men have begun to unload the Helvetia. Regular non union men are loading the Cunarder Au rama. The Roanake and Breakwater, of the Old Dominion line, sailed to-day but not with full cargoes. A public meeting of business men has been called to meet at Stein way hall Saturday night to consider the cause and cure of the- wrong? which business men and others are subjected to by the controversy between the coal trans portation and other companies and their employes. James Farrell, a non-union man, was assaulted by a gang of strikers and is supposed to be fatally Injured. Knight* in Council. Pittsburg, Ph., Feb. 3.—The executive board of District Assembly 135, Knights of Labor, is still in session here. William H. Bailey, who is at the head of the organiza tion, says that questions of general interest to both miners and operators are being con sidered. They are aiming, he says, to get justice for all parties, coal operators and miners alike in competing, districts. They want to stop ruinous competition, and keep within the bounds on all sides. . He did not want to see the price of coal advanced to such an extent in any market as will be op pressive to the poor, but on the other hand it is desirable that the price of coal be sus tained to allow the miners-fair wages for their work and the operator a just profit. Master Workman Byrnes said no action would betaken regarding the coal handlers' strike and any reports :of a general strike were erroneous. ... Wanton Extra Quarter. Pittsburg, Pa.. Feb. 3.—A ' Sharps ville special says, about 350 men employed at the Spearman, Douglass and Mabel fur naces struck to-day for an advance in wages of 25 cents" per ; day. The furnaces have all been left in good .condition, and the men appear determined and hopeful of getting what (they ask. About 200 men employed at Hendersen & Claire's will probably follow suit. Btjjß The Coke Workers. Pittsburg, Feb. 3.The coke workers throughout the Connellsville region have demanded an ' advance in wages equal to j the recent increase of 50 cents per ton in the price of coke. The workmen have ap pointed committees to ■meet • the operators and a conference will be held next week. m An J»i stir Jin c Verdict. Cincinnati, .0..

For the information of our donors I am happy to say I was enabled . to aid every worthy family and person ' reported to me, or found through my visiting from house to house. I received more checks and drafts without solicitation than last year. On my visiting on some of the streets a second time. I met with quite a number of families who were rendered assistance in recent. years, but whom I found getting along nicely now. both spiritually and temporally, and are now numbered among our thrifty citizens. The experiences otthepist year g res emphasis to my suggestion in the 1 _t annual report that it pays well to g.ve aid in time of need, and to help worthy destitute persons to their feet. Of course we have met with a few un worthy and undeserving people, but they were soon discovered and aid stopped. The books .and papers distributed have been thankfully received and read with ajpreciation. In regard to the Bible work, my experience the past year has been similar to that of pre ceding years. I find many families with out the Bible, for example in the northern part of the city. Out of twenty, nearly all Protestant families, ten were without Bibles. Seven of these ten accepted copies of the scrip tures. 1 am more and more impressed with the urgent necessity of religious reading material amongst those destitute and Ignorant of our city. It our ministers would take the matter in hand. I would gladly see to the distribution of what ever sermons or papers they would have pub lished. In conclus on I would like to expres my hearty thanks to all who have helped mc in so many ways to carry on this work: The Relief society, and the lad.es connected w th it. Dr. Ancker, our county physician, the board of con trol, and especially the ministers of the city, an I the officers of the Ramsey County Bible society, who have encourged me in so many ways, B. Respectfully yours, E. R. I. The work of Mr. Irmscher grows in important" and fruitfulness year by year. It now conmands the support of all our citizens, irrespective of their religious predilections. His timely visit.--, and the aid he brings those in need, are invalu able, and through him all interested in doing for the worthy . poor can be assured that their gifts of every kind are wisely dispensed. Mr. Irm scher is cordially commendod for what he has already done, and as city missionary and Bible agent is again sent forth on another year ot labor with the good wishes of his brethren, and fee patrons of this enlarging work.
