Weighs 320 Pounds; Falls Far.

Evansville, June 16. —Mrs. Abraham Israel, weighing 320 pounds, broke down a second-story balustrade and fell to the ground. In her fall she struck a telephone wire, which-sagged under her weight, and she was ricochetted against a cistern, breaking three ribs and puncturing the lung. Her fall cracked the cross arm on the telephone pole and put the line out of commission.
