train TO the depot and then depart The
depot platform is fixed to the stone bridge,
and is perhaps thirty feet above the street.
When Furguson stepped down from the cab
steam was escaping from the engine, and he
did not notice the platform had not been
reached. He let go. and down he went to
the paved street below. The fall broke his
arm and partially paralyzed his back. He
