PROVIDENTIAL ESCAPE.
Signorina Rosa Cardoni, a prepossessing girl of 17, had a rather remarkable escape from death in Rome the other day. She was standing on the balcony of her parents' flat on the fourth flodr of a building, waiting for her sweetheart. In her anxiety to watch the earliest possible glimpse of her 1 lover she leaned too far over the railings, lost her balance and fell down. A cry of horror arose from those who witnesed the accident, but Miss Cardoni's fall was fortunately broken by some telegraph wires on which she alighted. Bending momentarily under the strain, the wires did not break, but sent her bounding up again like a tight-rope walker. The dazed girl turned a complete somersault in the air, and landed on her feet in the street below, without sustaining any worse injuries than a slight nervous shock, from which she presently recovered.
