The plaintiff was struck and injured by a south-bound freight train on the main track of the defendant’s road within the corporate limits of the city of Perry. The accident occurred after dark, while the plaintiff was attempting to cross the appellant’s tracks at a public street crossing. The plaintiff alleged that the train was being run at an excessive and high rate of speed and faster than six miles per hour, the limit of speed fixed by an ordinance of the city of Perry. It was also claimed that the appellant failed to give any alarm as its train approached the street crossing.
We are’ of the opinion that this ordinance does not contain more than one subject within the meaning of the statute. It relates solely to the operation of trains and the conduct of persons with reference thereto. It is not serious
The judgment is affirmed.
