Baby Born in a Street Car.

The passengers in four cars which were
blocked at 18th and Market streets, Phila-
delphia, at o'clock Thursday morning
were probably unaware of the cause OF the
delay, for those who knew merely smiled
In knowing way when asked any ques-
tons. The fact is that there was suddenly
added to the number of riders in Lam
caster avenue car. which headed the line,
a tiny little passenger for whom no fare
was charged. After a man had whispered
few words to the conductor all the pas
sengers were requested to alight. This they
did and the curtains in the car We're pulled
down Soon a patrol wagon arrived and
into 1t was lifted a young colored mother
and her newly born babe. They We're taken
to the Philadelphia Lying-in Charity, at
18th and Cherry streets The woman and
her husband boarded the car at 32d and
Market streets and were on their way to
Camden when the event took place.
