A coroner hears a dramatic account of a fall on a hotel stairs leading to a death described with hysteria and jokes. The piece then discusses beliefs about hysteria and a quoted article arguing electricity could eventually power trains more cheaply than steam, forecasting direct coal energy generation and changing railroad economics. Includes commentary on earlier dynamo impact and future prospects.
