1t is learned on excellent authority
that a deal was practically eOnsum-
mated on Monday afternoon by which
the West Virginia Glass Company's
business and plant in Martins Ferry.
largely owned by Wheeling people, is
to pass into the hands OF the tableware
combine, the National Glass Company,
the company that recently acquired the
Crystal plant at Bridgeport. and which
was unsuccessful in It's effort TO secure
the Central Glass Works. OF this city.
The company is capitalized at $4,000,
and 1t Is said that the stock figuring in
the transaction was bought up at 81 IS
or 81 40. thus making the amount ngur-
ing In the deal something like $4,000.
The plant, It Is learned. is to be shut
down indefinitely this evening at 6
o'clock. and representatives OF the COM
blue will be here in few days to take
stock and put the finishing touches to
the deal.

NEW York. August IA man who
is closely connected with the late Col.
Robert C. IngersolI's family. says that
no will OF Col. Ingersoll has been found,
and that nobody who knew the colonel
thought there was one.
'The colonel did not believe In Wills. :"
he said. IAN who knew him well have
heard him say so frequently. His
theory was that mans estate should
be settled and distributed by the ma
chlnery of the law constructed for that
purpose"
do you know whether he ever ex-
pressed any wishes about the dispose
tion OF his estate?"
mo; It is very improbable that he
did. don't think he ever thought much
about that subject. He considered the
law fair. and was willing to trust to
It."
As to whit Col. Ingersoll left the
man said he did not believe anybody
knew yet He thought 1t extremely
unlikely that the family had mdae any
Investigations.
