occurred last night between car of the Brook
lyn Rapid Transit Company and train of the
Long Island Railroad. The accident was due
probably to criminal negligence on the part of
the motorman.
The accident occurred at about II 80 o'clock
at Kensington Junction Brooklyn. at Graves
end-ave. and Avenue D.
The railroad train was running from Man
haitian Beach to the Flatbush-ave. station, and
the car. which belonged to the Fifteenth-st
line of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company
running to Coney Island over what IS
known as the Culver Route The tracks cross
at right angles. and a tower is near by. The
proper signals it is believed were shown at the
tower, but the motorman evidently disregarded
them.
The car struck the train with great force and
was thrown completely from the track. The
motornan was instantly killed. and of the sixty
passengers four were killed outright
The motormans body was taken to the Park
vile police station. Nothing was found on it 10

A of the fist Regiment, and a handkerchief with
the initial j." Both of the mans legs were
broken, and his hips and ribs were smashed.

One of the injured persons is Edward Wicks,
a policeman attached 10 the Coney Island sta
ton He was in the fourth seat from the rear.
He was badly cut on the face and on both
knees
Wicks tried TO get on the front seat when he
boarded the car, but. finding it crowded, he
went 10 the rear and. without doubt. saved
his life by this move He was taken TO the
Parkvie station.
William Ruck the towerman at Kensington
Junction. was arrested. but he will undoubtedly
be exonerated. He says he signalled the car

way. and that the motorman was plainly
sponsibIe for the collision.
