Mr. Justice Cothran

¶1 (concurring in result) : There are circumstances pointed out by Justice Stabler which justified the application to the Pullman Company of the rule of highest degree of care; but I do not think that the opinion sufficiently discriminates between injuries sustained from instrumentalities under the sole control of the company arid those sustained from conditions caused by the negligence of a fellow passenger. As to these the rule of ordinary care in the discovery of the danger prevails.
