The plasterers held their regular monthly
meeting on Tuesday evening last. Several
of the members, who were in needy cir

of the Association. Formerly the plaster
ers used to appropriate their money for
oyster suppers, &c, but Of late years they
have learned sense, and now apply their mo
ney to relieve the necessities Of their indi-
gent members The President made his
usual annual report in which he adverted
to the practice Of members falling off from
the Union in the winter season, and re-
turning again in the spring and summer
seasons. He deprecated the practice as
being injurious to the best interests Of the
| Union, and hoped, as they now possessed a
full treasury, that hereafter the evil which
he complained of wouldce altogether, and
that the strength Of the organization be
/ kept up in the dull as well as in the busy
season. The following gentlemen were
elected officers for the ensuing term Pres
ident-C. Howard Staer Vice President,
4 Edward Davis Recording Secretary Isaac
T. Carterr Financial Secretary, Isaac Per

ST. LOUIS, Jan. z, l0t&.
To the Editor Of the WoRKNeNASs ADVOCATE
A communication dated Headquarters
Chief Of Police, st. Louis, Jan. IL, 1872,
and signed j. S. ~, was published two
weeks ago in the ADVOCATE. i owe an
apology to the Labor Reform Party in this
that / did not inform them through their
official organ of the treachery Of IT. S. \"
towards the organization after he had OBJ
tanned large sums Of money under false
pretentions, and when he could not get
more in the same way, he denounced in
writing the whole party, no exception, as
an ignorant aabble, that he the dignihed
servile hireling Of a police officer would
never again condescend to cross a street to
attend any Of their meetings. Now he has
the affrOntery to offer his services with a
view to obtain part Of the money he sees
In the distance may come into the hands Of
the Commissioners, and he has the audac-
ity to stigmatiZe some Of the purest pa
triots Of the country as 3D. and 4th class
men. He has from his lofty position as a
servant to police officer, been addressing
letters to members Of the organization put
ting an estimate upon his ability to serve
the party in capacity where he expects
large pay, and this after his treacherous
conduct in carrying away valuable papers
belonging to the organization and offering
them for sale to enemies Of the Reform
Party in order to, as he supposed, extort
mroe money Papers that never belonged
to him he wound off and refuses to return
them unless he is paid for that which he
never owned. He cannot be trusted, and
never should, by any member Of the Re
form Party. 1t is due to the members Of
the organization, and to myself, that | thus
publicly warn them against one who has
acted so treacherously.

the MINER.

A BED Of excellent coal has been discov-
cred in the northern portion of Minnesota,
and within three miles of Northern Pacific
Railroad. The coal is said to exist in a
vast body, the seams being from twenty to
fifty feet in thickness. Specimens taken
from near the surface, where it crops out,
show that it is hard coal, Of dull black color,
resembling the Pennsylvania anthracite,
taken from a similar position near the sur
face. If the coal should be what it repre-
sents. and 50 situated as to be made aces
sible to the miner, the discovery will prove
to be immense and an incalculable benefit
to the State.
A M1sTAKE.-A late letter from the La
Sale correspondent Of the Chicago Jour
nal" states that the La Sale coal mines are
no, producing seven hundred tons of coal
daily The writer should have stated that
the mines operated by the Northern Hi
nois Coal and Iron Company produce seven
hundred tons daily All the mines Of La
Sale city and township produce about two
thousand tons daily.-La Sale Press, Jan.

SERIOUSLY INJrRrp.-Mr. Philip Reid
Puyallup Valley, while engaged in Sc
curing lumber at Welch's mill, situated
on Clark Creek, a tributary of the
Puyallup, met with very distressin.
accident on Friday last. While at
tempting to pass through the building,
he missed his footing and fell distance
of sixteen feet striking violently upon
the front part of his chest across II
sleeper. He was brought to town the
following day for medical treatment
We learn from his physician that the
sixth rib of the left side is fractured
through its middle third, but upon the
most thorough examination of the
right SIDE there is no evidence of any
fractured ribs beyond the existence of
severe pain and difficult respiration
The most serious Injury inflicted is
upon the visccra of the chest. The
prin ,ip!e danger in such cases where
death has not Immediately or almost
immediately followed from violent
compression of the heart and lungs, is
the extreme liability to inflammation of
lungs and plcura. The doctor thinks
that if no inflammation of the lungs
aud pleura snpervenes, the patient will
recover.
