Twins Come While Train Is Held At Depot
Dravosburg, Pa., June 18.--Twins were born to Mrs. Harriet Stovallin on a Pennsylvania Railroad train just as the engine pulled into the local depot last night. The train was in charge of Conductor Moffit, who apparently has had previous experience in such situations. No sooner had his train come to a stop than he dashed to a telephone and within twenty minutes an ambulance, bearing a physician, arrived on the scene.
While the stork was busy adding two small boys to the population of Pennsylvania, Conductor Moffit held his train at the depot. When Mrs. Stovallin and her babies were taken into the ambulance and started for the McKeesport Hospital. Conductor Moffit wished them godspeed.
