WEDNESDAY, APRIL 17, 1001 IiHiGKST MAX IX THE ARMY. A Fighting Tar Heel Who Is Some thing of a Giant. A New York tlisp itch has the follow iti $ about a North Carolinian cousin 6f Dr. S. Wostry Battle of Asheville : 'The biggest man in the Uni ed States army is in town to-day. The giant is Cap. John S. Battle, U. S. A., a grad uate of West Point and late Lein tenant in the Eleventh infantry. He is on his way to Manilla. "The captain is. more than seven feet in height acd Las tremendous shoulders. He arrived on the red liner Philadelphia, and ticaufe the berths were not long e:v.Th he had to sleep out on the deck dnvi::g the voyage, go tall is Captain B it-rlc that he l ad to get -special permit-; ion fnin tie War-Df partment to ii.ui the military academy when ap pointed. " 'He is ti e tallest I ever saw,' Captain Chambers, of the Philadelphia, s.;id. "And he v. as too tall for the space 1 etv.ee u t'u c ks. I did not know what to do about a -bunk. Thought at first he v as a lighthouse. He came aboard at Sun Juau. and asked me if I had a berth loug enough. I told him that I once had a man almost as long as he, and that two berths l ad been thrown into one, making a coutiunous bed ahouc eight ftret long. Captain Battle went below with me and looked at the double berth. Said Le'ei rrfer to rteep on deck. So he Lad t-.i take an ordinary berth which was about three feet to short. " "For five nights the captain had to leep with his legs hanging over the foot of the berth and curled round a stan chion.' Captaian Pattle was appointed to West Point in lSSo from North Caro lina." The Sad Ca:;e of Mr. Warrington. Strange tiling- happen m No th Caro lina. Shortly after the Supreme Court of that Statu. was not impeached for the high crime aud misdemeanor of permit ting an oyster inspector to hold his job, William Watliugton was sauntering along the right of way of th Seaboard Air Lino with a loaded shotgun on his rtwalder. The vestibuled "limited" came thundering along and Mr. Watliug tpu stepped aside, but a bunch of cattle homeward bound did not see fit to hur ry aud oaa o' the beasts , was propelled in the dinseiioa -popularly described as "galley west' The animal hit Mr. "Watliugton, who happened to be in a galLiy westerly direction from the point of original collision, and that gentleman was lost to the world for several hours. When h-3 got "so as to be about again" he found that lie had found that he had been sued for tha assassination of two cows. The shotgun which on Mr. Wat lingtoa's manly shoulder when the train struck the horned beast that immediatly hit Mr. Wa tliugtou, was discharged and the two fine Jeryey cows received the buckshotwith fatal 'results. J udgment for $1 00 was decreed against Mr. Watfington. In vain did his attor-fcJ.-ne7.-4 plead that the railroad company sot the cows by bunting one of their cio npanioa j against, the defendant and his gun. Iu vain did they contend that b y did not aim at any live stock, but a tried to escape being run over by the -;i .uited." Without effect did they ar- i - that if ho did shoot the cows he shot iaem unc-viiousiy and without malice, iatt.-at or pr-v.r.editution, as he was sense Wis by reason of his collision with one r.ii-nioer of the herd when the shotgun w eht-offc The. court was deaf to all this and ordered that he pay his neighbor the sum of 100 for the cows. Then, in the hopes of getting even, Mr. 'Wellington eued the railroad for a pecuniary lalm of bodily . injuries and mental anguish, but the same court fr-nd that the defendant's train did not touch plahuiU's person, and moreover, plaintiff w afc trespassing upon defen dant's right of way. To be Pure, de. fondant did shoat plaintiff with' about 1V300 pounds of livestock and grievously hurt him, hut the court failed to see that point, and Mr. Watlingtou will have to pay one hundred dollars for be ipg h:tli' killed. Verily the ways of justice aro past fmuing oat, but Mr. Watlington may . tLauk his stars t hit the gun did'ut let go in the direction of the train. In that e.vvut he miglit have been hanged for x4'j rdc . Miueap jlis Timer. ADMIMSTKATOIt'S NOTICE. Having been appointed and having qualified as administrator of S. C.
