BORN IN A TROLLEY CAR.
Baby Cucurallo Begins Life on the Culver

Miss Cuc,,ralo caused an interruption of troll
ley traffic for about an hour Thursday night on
the Culver route from Coney Island to Manhat-
tan. Miss Cucurallo has as yet no given name.
owing largely TO the informal nature Of her an
pearance in one OF the busiest departments Of
this busy world and also o the fact that she ar
rived before her name was ready Her mother,
Mrs REGINA Clicuralo Of West Fifteenth street,
Coney Island, was one of hundreds Of per-
sons who fed from the storm on Thurs
day night and scrambled for seats in
the trolley cars That fact, il il
generally conceded, had an important bearing
on subsequent occurrences. Az any rate, when
the car In which Mrs. Cucuralo had seat. got
to Avenue U and Gravesend avenue. its
progress was stopped. the men passengers were
requested to go outside and there was an
urgent demand for an ambulance. The am
buance came IN the course OF time, but Miss
Cucurallo was already several minutes old
when It drove up, Surgeon Fettie took her and
her mother home. and their friends said last
night that they were in every way as well IA
