On Petition for Rehearing.
PER CURIAM.
Western & Atlantic Railroad Co. v. Ferguson, 1901, 113 Ga. 708, 39 S.E. 306, 54 L.R.A. 802, is not inconsistent with our decision. In the Ferguson case the court found that the injured party had, in fact, complied with the duty to use ordinary care to avoid the consequences of the railroad’s negligence, where that negligence should have been apparent to a reasonable man. We have applied the same standard of care here. It is ordered that the petition for rehearing filed in the above styled and numbered cause be denied.
