Presidential Possibilities,

Every Thursday for the next three
months the TRIBUNE will publish two
portraits-one of a prominent Democrat,
the other of a prominent Republican,
under the head of presidential Posi-
billties." Every reader recognizes the
uncertainty of politics, and in the two
great parties OF the United States there
is today more uncertainty than has ever
preceded two presidential nominations.
Our list comprises all the leaders on
both sides, and the portraits of those
men will prove an entertaining addition
to the TRIBUNE's columns.
Portraits of John G.. Carlisle, of Ken
tncky, secretary of the treasury, and
William Mckinley, governor of Ohio,
will be published on Thursday.

A wreck on the Lehigh Valley Rail
road occurred near Lofty shortly after
midnight on Friday night. Engine 14G,
in charge of Engineer Frank Bowman
and Conductor Michael Reynolds, draw
ing mixed train of coal and merchan-
disc, was derailed by a clogged frog.
The train was then bowling along at Il
rapid rate, and the momentum of the
cars pushed the engine over the ties for
considerable distance, when it tumbed
into The ditch.
The trainmen meantime jumped to
save themselves, and all escaped in
safety excepting Brakeman Michael
O'Brien, who sustained injuries which
may result fatally. The tracks were
badly torn up and five cars were totally
wrecked, The engine was badly twisted
and all the connections broken.

Goddess of Liberty to Marry.

From the Philadelphia Record.
The Goddess of Liberty is going to
enter the holy bonds of matrimony.
Not the ideal goddess but the one whose
face adorns the silver dollars turned out
by the United States mint. In private
life she is Miss Anna Willess Williams,
and she is Philadelphia school teacher.
In 1876 the treasury department engaged
the services of George Morgan, an en-
graver and designer, who for years was
an attache of the Royal mint of Eng
land His first assignment was the
creation of design for the silver dollar
about to be issued. He completed the
reverse side first, hoping all the time to
be inspired with suitable design for
the Goddess of Liberty, which, all
agreed, was most appropriate for the
diverse side of the coin. Thomas
Eakns, the well-known artist, was a
