The opinion

HOOK, Circuit Judge

(specially concurring). I concur in the reversal of the judgment in this case and in the reasons given therefor, excepting those pertaining to the measure of ordinary care, the exercise of which was incumbent upon the company, and the charge of the Circuit Court upon that subject.
