GEN, BUELL DYING His Friends Fear He Can Last But a Few Days Longer Although recent reports of the serious illness of Gen. Don Carlos Buell were denied, the general has been in a low state of health for several months, and recently his condition has become SO much worse that his friends are alarmed. A private letter received here states that Gen. Buell is in fact on the brink of death, and can last but a few days more. He is at his home, Airdrie, Muhlenberg county.
The end seems so near that his own wishes as to the disposal of his remains have been made known. He wants to be buried at St. Louis. The passing of Gen. Buell will remove one who has been a conspicuous figure in Kentucky, and the interest aroused by the news of his illness indicates the esteem in which the people of Kentucky hold him.

to see us, we can and HIGH ROLLERS. Lived Like Kings and Spent Their Money Like Water. Cannel Coal Mine Operators Rolled in Wealth as Long as It Lasted. The Business at Victoria to Be Closed Forever On the Last of This Month. WAS ALWAYS A FINANCIAL FAILURE The Cloverport News makes the interesting statement that the Breckinridge Company will close out its business at Victoria November 30, and become a thing of the past.
The company under its present name has been organized about ten years, and has been one of the prominent institutions of Cloverport. It has not been a success, financially, on account of the fact that the coal which it was formed to mine became SO nearly exhausted several years ago that it was difficult and pensive to mine it. The News hints that the history of the enterprise would read like a fairy story, and indeed it would. The coal was discovered long before the the English company that was formed to mine it was the first in the United States. The shares were sold in London at high figures, and the stories that were told of the prospects of the company read like accounts of the wonders performed by Aladdin's lamp.
The promoters were placed at the head of the affair. The money they had obtained from the sale of the stocks gave them the means of living like They built a fine house, the ruins of which are at present known as "the castle." Here they lived and feasted and drank and caroused. At first the people were inclined to accept and return their hospitalities, but by and by strange stories came of the goings on at the castle, and the respectable citizens gave it a wide berth. Women of all sorts and conditions quartered there and there were high times generally. A railroad was built out to the mines.
Crossties were first laid down and then sills were bolted on these. The rails, which were flat bars of iron, with holes through them for spikes, were laid longitudinally on these, and a little pufting engine and a few cars were put on. An extensive factory was built for the manufacture of oil, and this had a wide sale. Wherever it was sold it was known as coal oil, and to this fact is attributable the same name which is given to kerosene, which succeeded and displaced it. A by -product was paraffine, which was sold in immense quantities for the manufacture of candles.
When the factory burned an immense quantity of paraffine was left, and for twenty years it continued to be used by thrifty housewives as a substitute for tallow, to which it was greatly superior when properly handled. The whole enterprise was a failure and the burning of the works was incendiary in order to furnish an excuse for the collapse to the people in England, who had invested their money in it. Ten years ago the business was revived. Another railroad was built and the mines reopened. Col.
Fairlie, a promoter of world-wide fame, was placed in charge. He followed rather modestly in the footsteps of his predecessors, but he did not last long. He was old and could not stand the strain. He was removed and younger men placed in charge. They honestly tried to make the venture pay, but the coal was gone and no more could be found.
The great use for the coal was to enrich bituminous coal in the manufacture of gas. It had a wonderful effect, and although it sold in London for YELLOW FEVER Col. Chares A. Williams and Frank T. Stuart Die at Havana.
He Was Formerly at Jeffersonville in the Quartermaster's Department. The Authorities at Washington Embarrassed By the Mortality From the Disease. DEATHS HAVE CAUSED A SENSATION Havana, Nov. C. A.
Williams, the chief of quartermasters, died yesterday from yellow fever. F. T. Stewart, a clerk attached to the quar termaster's department, also died yes. terday from fever.
The body of Colonel Williams will be embalmed and will bi carried directly on board the Ward line steamer Seguranca, when she arrives from Vera Cruz, for shipment north. The remains of Mr Stewart were buried here yesterday afternoon. The deaths have caused a profound sensation. It is a strange coincidence that the only cases of yellow fever among foreigners here lately have been those of the members of the American commissions and staff's. Colonel Willlams was a native of Kentucky and a son-in-law of General John B.
Gordon of Georgia. News Received at Washington. Washington, Nov. Willlams took with him to Havana two clerks who had served with him at Jeffersonville, and they were stricken down with the yellow fever about the same time he was. Word was received at the office of the quartermaster general yesterday afternoon that one of them-Stewart, by name died shortly after Colonel Williams breathed his last.
As nothing was said as to the condition of the other clerk, whose name is Colwell, it is assumed that he is still alive. The quartermaster's department is considerably embarrassed by the mortality in its principal depot in Havana, and transportation business there will be badly hampered unless immediate relief is afforded. Although the department is loath to send officers and men to that fever-stricken district, it is realized that. it must be done, in spite of the risks, in execution of the plans of the government to take military possession of the entire Island of Cuba on or before Jan. 1.
In view of the important work to be done in the matter of transporting and quartering the United States troops on the island and the establis. ment of military headquarters in Havana it will be necessary to fill the vacancies in the quartermaster's depot caused by the death of Colonel Williams and his assistant at once. In making the detail, care will be taken to select officers who are immune to the tropical fevers if such can be found. It may be necessary to call for volunteers. Progressing Satisfactorily.
Washington, Nov. cable dispatch has been received the war department from General Wade, chairman of the Cuban military commission, saying that everything is progressing very satisfactorily in Cuba and that the Spaniards are moving troops out as fast as they can secure transports. The department is quite satisfied with the report. -Circuit court will convene at Hartford on the 21st.
