HURT I'M TAXI-TRAIN SMASH
Police Captain Calvin and Wife
Injured at Coney Island.

Captain Michael Calvin, of the Coney
Island police station, was severely cut
and bruised and his wife was rendered
unconscious last night, when a taxica b
in which they were riding was struck by
a West End train at Neptune avenue
and West 18th street Coney Island,
shortly before IL o'clock The force of
the collision was SO great that the taxi
cab was pushed along about fifteen feet
and overturned. Captain Calvin dragged
his wife from the battered machine.
Before an ambulance from the Coney
Island Reception Hospital reached the
scene DR.. Thomas B. Crane, who lives in
Neptune avenue, near the scene of the
accident, arrived, and examined Mrs
Calvin. He said that she had not been
seriously injured, and when he had re-
vived her she insisted on being taken to
her home, No. 1S2 Senator street, Bay
Ridge.
The train was in charge of George
Hackett, motornan, of No. 1914 Fifth
avenue, Brooklyn. According to Cap
tain Calvin he stopped to discharge pas
sengers and started without giving any
signal. The chauffeur, Robert Yule, of
No. 393 Seventh avenue, thought that
