.CHIcAGo, May 24.-Sensational discIos-
ures connected with the mysterious death of
Richard r. Webster, at Burgoyne, Canada,
November 80, 1886, would have been made
in Judge Tuley's court had not the Webster
family arrived at an agreement to settle
their litigation out of court Richard Web
ster owned a livery stable at 900 North
Clark street. and other valuable property
and when he died will was turned up, in
which he made his son, William E. Web
ster, his sole heir, cutting off his widow,
Ann Webster, and Annie and Lizzie Web
ster, and other children.
Charges were at once brought in court by
the widow and daughters against the son
William. In the bill to set aside William
Webster's will, the contesting heirs charged
that William exercised undue influence on
mis- father; kept him almost continually
under the influence of intoxicants and spirit
ed him away to Northern Michigan and
Canada, where he was kept out of the reach
of mis- wife and other children until he died.
William was alleged to have finally taken
him to Burgoyne, little out of the way
hamlet in Canada, where he was placed in
charge of an innkeeper. Here through
neglect and i'll treatment he died. When
his body was found by the authorities it was
covered with repulsive sores and the bed on
which he died was infested with vermin.
The innkeeper and one of his assistants,
after a lengthy investigation by the Do
minion authorities, were arrested, tried for
manslaughter and sentenced to penal serv-
itude, ene for three and the other for five
years. Tne suit to set aside the will has
been on Judge Tuley's calendar for over
year. Yesterday it would have been reached
for trial, and sensational case would have
been made of it, when Mr.. P. S. Grosscup,
representing the contestlng heirs, and Mr..
Kretzinger, represe nting William Webster,
stated to the court that compromise and
division of the deceased's property had been
agreed on, and a trust trial of the case prob
ably averted.
The settlement of the terms occupied all
day, and Judge Tuley was closeted for six
hours with the parties in his chambers.
When the Judge left for his home the mat
ter had not yet been settled, though the
prospect was good that it would be- When
the terms are agreed on they will be ineor-
porated in decree.

POOH-POOHING THE REPORT.
Glass Can't Be Made From Paper, Is Mr.
WiRhtman's Idea of II.

Uhhsb OhnC DC Ahue rrOm Eapefs - urs
Wightman's Idea of 1t.
Scientific journals have published the
statement that paper window-glass is now
an assumed fact. The process is about as
follows:
A window pane Is made of white paper
manufactured from cotton or linen and modi-
fed by chemical action. Afterward the paper
is dipped into preparation of camphor and
alcohol, which makes it like parchment. From
this point it can be nodded and cut into re-
markably tough sheets, entirely transparent,
and it can be dyed with almost any of the
aniline colors, the result being a transparent
sheet, showing far more vivid hues than the
best glass exhibits
portant item to Pittsburg glass. manufact-
urers. of which there are many. A DIS
PATCH writer, fearful that some process of
the kind might be feasible, and which, if
eminently successful, would wound and
probably destroy one Of our greatest indus
tries, met Thomas Wightman, large
manufacturer, who soon dispelled such L.
lusions by pooh-poohing the statement and
adding:
"Why, that would be practical impossi-
bility. How can you make paper of any
kind perfectly transparent? No matter
through what chemical process it should
pass, it could not be made clear. Even
now the sand crystals used in the manu-
facture of glass has to undergo very
strong chemical process before the desired
effect is reached. The only thing know of
as regards paper in connection with glass
is the vari-colored limitations made to
decorate windows or to use them as screens.
Don't be alarmed, my boy, about any inno-
vation like that kind upon the glass busi-
ness"
A gentleman from New Jersey, who is in
the same line, indorsed Mr. Wightman's
statements fully, as did number of other
gentlemen who ridiculed the 'idiotic" re-
mort

McKEEsPoRT. PA, May A-The McKees-
port ball club is in trim, and when that way
will give the most of them a tussle, as it showed
the Uniontown club this afternoon when the
visitors put Mehan, the speedy pitcher, in the
box. 1t was the finest game of the season,
there being but six base hits made, and result
ed in favor of McKeesport by to-. The
visitors played their best, and put up a good
game Mehan is the most speedy pitcher who
faced the local team. and he was hard to hit.
The club did fine playing all around Callahan.
of the home club pitched good game. Quinn
ran 30 feet out from first base. with the sun to
his face and the ball coming toward his back,
and nabbed a foul fly. 1t was dexterous
catch. 1t was a pitchers game, and when the
ball was slugged it always dropped into close
hands. A good deal of money was wagered,
and many persons witnessed the game. The
home club and the Duquesne club play here
tomorrow. Score:
