AT BUENA VISTA.
The Only Preparations General Tny-
lor Made For Defeat.

The Only PRESENTATIONS General Tny-
lor Made For Defeat.
Santa Anna was the greatest military
leader the A1exicans have ever known.
Santa Anna with $4,000 veterans went
to the battle Of Buena Vista with the
avowed purpose Of DISCRIMINATING the
entire army Of the United States, and
there was no doubt in the mind Of
Santa Anna that this great feat could
be accomplished with comparative
ease. General Taylor, with his 5000
men, prepared for the unequal contest,
and not only defended himself success
fully, but won substantial victory
from his aggressive antagonists and
drove them from the battlefield Of
Buena Vista.
Some time after the battle was fought
and the Mexican war concluded Cen
eral Taylor was criticised for having
made no preparations for the retreat
of his army in the event Of defeat
General Taylor promptly replied: II
made every preparation necessary for
the battle Of Buena Vista. l wrote my
WILL and so did nearly every man in
my army. If we had not Won that
battle, we would have needed no lines
Of retreat. It was, from our stand
point, victory or humiliation. The only
preparation necessary for the contin-
gency Of defeat at Buena Vista was
that we should write our wills"

dazed and almost demented, wander

Shortly afterward, diver found
the engineer sitting in his cab dead,
his hand clenching the throttle of his
engine.
AS soon as the news became known
here, call was issued for volunteers
to man the first relief train. Every
available man was pressed into ser
vice and the train left at 8 o'clock
for the scene. Two hours later sec
ond train pulled out, carrying J. E.
Collier, a local undertaken, and all the
collins and stretchers to be found in
this city. With him went Police Cap
tain Wilson and a squad of police who
will assist in the work Of rescue.
A second message from the station
agent at Pinion, who had returned to
the scene of the wreck, said that he
could find no trace of the three cars
and the engine, but it is believed
that they have not been carried away
by the heavy current.
Superintendent r. H. Bower, of the
Missouri Pacific, Assistant Superin-
tendent Miller, of the Denver and Rio
Grande and a number of surgeons also
left for the scene.
Officials Have Grave Fears.
The Rio Grande railway officials fear
that the loss of life will be appalling.
Wrecking trains are also on the
way to aid in raising the splintered
cars and in repairing the bridge so
that traffic may be resumed.
The accident was caused by the
heavy rains of the last few days. The

undermined. When the heavy train
dashed upon it, the structure gave

among the dead.\ J. NJ. Killem, bust
ness man of Pueblo, was washed down
the river distance of mile before
he could climb to the bank. He is
painfully but not fatally injured.

EXECUTED IN BREWTON
NEGRO HANGED FOR THE MUIR
 DER OF HIS WIFFE.
Charles Manfus Kelly shows Nerve and Walks to the GaIlOws COoly and Steadily--Death of An
 Aged Negroes.

Brewton. May I3.-(Speciai. )--Charles Man fus Kelly. a negro, was hanged today in an enclosure at the rear of the county jail, for the murder of his wife at Wallace last oc- tober.
 At an early hour large crowds from the country began coming in from every direc- tion, with the hope that the execution would be in public and that they could witness it. About two hours before the time set for the hanging Kelly asked. from his position at a window of the jail that the assembled null titude join him in singing two songs of his own composition, and this was complied with. A few moments before 2. he called in sew eral members of the church which he had recently joined, and into which faith he had been haptized, to take the last sacrament or communion with him.
 With steady step. the march to the gallows was begun at a few minutes after 2. He was as bold and courageous as any man that ever walked up the steps to hangman' s moose The trap was sprung at l2i5 and hs was declared dead by an attending physician at | 2 80. The drop did not break his neck, but he died from strangulation.
 Ii is said Kelly's real name was Lloyd, and that he was wanted in Florida and Georgia for similar crimes.
 At the time of his trial early in April 1t was stated tha. the negro was in a beastly state of intoxication when the deed was conn mitted. This was mere hearsay, as the evt- dence of three witnesses at the trial went to show that he was not drinking or drunk, the defendant himself only offering that testi- mony. There was further undisputed testimony adduced that, after he had deliberately shot at his wife four times lone of the bullets striking and killing a cat that she had in her arms showing his correct aim) he went into the house, packed his clothes and went out the back way Into the woods and was not captured until next day.
 In justice to the jury it Is the desire of your correspondent to correct the impression that Kelly was drunk at the time of the com mission of the crime. for 1t was undoubtedly one of the most diabolical. premeditated and unwarranted murders that has ever been com mitted fin our county, and without a single extenuating circumstance.
