ART Lr IRONWORK. An Intereslins Eeview of tho Early i Days of the Industry. THE OLDEST EXISTING SAMPLES. Grill-Work in tlic Ancient Cathedrals That Is Still Appreciated. THE AET OP THE EAE..T LOCKSMITHS Amid the increased attention which has of recent years been given to all branches of decorative art, that of the artistic treatment of iron has not escaped notice. The black smith occupied an important position among the craftsmen of the Middle Ages. The insecurity of life and property, which was one of the chief grievances of the times, made strength of material indispensable, whether to guard the shrine of a saint, or to protect after a more homely fashion the family chest or coffer. The strength and durability of iron led to its use f ?r these defensive purposes from early times. But the workman of the Middle Ages was not content to allow strength and ugliness of form to go together, but con trived to breathe a spirit of beauty into his designs without sacrificing the uo to which the material was destined. Thns wrought iron formed the object of much artistic work both in England and abroad. Until coal came into general use, malleable iron was produced direct from the ore with charcoal by continuous working. Sussex was from early times a chief seat of the iron industry. The earliest positive recprd of the trade there is contained in a grant made by King Henry III. to the town of Lewes in 12GG, bv w uich the inhabitants were empowered to raise toll for tTue repair of the town walls after the battle. Every cart-load of iron destined for tale which came from the neighboring 'neald' was to pay 1 penny toll, and every horse-load of iron half that sum. In 1290 a sum ot uionev was paid to a certain Master Henry, of Lewes, for the ironwork to the monument of Henry IIL in Westminster Abbey, which reminds usthat talented smiths were brought olten from long distances for important works. Old Samples In Unslanil. In this countrv, perhaps the oldest exist ing works m iron are hinges to doors, strengthening bars, handles," escutcheons, lock "plate, and the like. Even the nails were things of beautv. Abroad, the massive, doors of the Cathedral of Notre Dame de Paris offer a wonderful example of early ironwork. Probably designed in the twelfth century, the doors are nearly concealed with their decorations of trees and birds, dragons, and other grotesque beings. The door in St. George's Chapel. Windsor, is of about of the same date. The grotesque knocker on the sanctuary door of Durham Cathedral, which bears a rather distaut resemblance to a lion, is said to be ot the twelfth century. The hollows for the eves mav have been formerly filled with crystal or enamel; or, as it has been suggested, the open eyes may hae been contrived to emit light from within the church, so as to guide the hapless being seeking sanctuary by night to the welcome haven of safety. The door ot the chapter house of York Cathedral is a good example ot the woik of the thirteenth century. It consists of a central stem, and sev eral large scrolls with diminutive leaves branching out in all directions. Some chests in the same cathedral are also finely bound with decorative hinges. Occasionally, hinges were gilt, and not laid directly on the wood, but on skin or scarlet felt. These elaborate fastenings, however, fell into dis use in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, when the uoodwoik of doors became richly molded and carved. The number of iron pieces on a door furnished the French dramatist Sedaine nith the subject of an amusing scene in the play of the "Gageure Imprevue," brought out in 1TC8, in which a marquis, one of the chief characters, bets that lie will enumerate all the bits of iron, big and little, which are employed in the construction of a door such as lock, screws, nuts, knobs, bars, bolts and so lorth. He succeeded in naming them all except the key, and so eventually lost his bet. The old process of repeatedly forging the iron gave it a. great tenacity and ductility, which modern iron, except of the finest quality, does not possess. Ancient Iron 'Worktnjr Methods. In early times the iron was not actually made to melt, but was separated out and formed into a lump while in a pasty condition, when it was found to be sufficiently free from car bon to be malleable without further pro cesses. It was then accordingly brought Tinder a heavy tilt-hammer, worked by a cog-wheel and driven by water power. Sheets of water in the Weald of Sussex and in Kent owe their existence to the manu facture of iron; w hile other pools and ponds liac been draiued and transformed into hop gardens or osier beds. Cornmills, too, often occupy the sites where once the din of the hammers resounded. The iron was eventu ally formed into bars by beating under the hammer, aud then worked into the sizes re quired by the smitlu When this had been done, the artistic part of his work, such as welding, stamping and chiseling, still re mained. In the larger specimens of ancient work borne parts are additions entirely welded; others aie additions fastened at the ends by bands welded across the ground work. " Sheet iron, which had been intro duced into England by the fourteenth cen tury, saved much labor, and could be elab orately decorated. Italy in the Middle ages led the way in metal "woiking as well as in other arts. In bronze, the work then produced has never been equaled. During the thirteenth and fourteeth centuries, wrought-iron came into general use lor screens, for chapels and tombs, and grills tor windows. The screen around the tombs of theScala familv at Verona is composed of a kind ot network of quatrcfoils. each filled up with a small lad der (scala), in allusion to the family name. Several churches in Florence and Siena have magnificent screens of wrought-iron One of the principal workers of iron of this period was Uiccolo Grossi, who was taken under the patronace of Lorenzo de' Medici. Cat.delsticks, lanterns, cressets, and torch beaters were produced in large numbers all of the most artistic designs. Grossi executed four lanterns for the Strozzi palace at Florence, which were set up in the year 1500; and each cost a hundred florins for workmanship alone. Another artist in iron was Cozzarelli, who flourished at the close of the fifteenth century at Siena, and distinguished himself in designing superb lanterns and torch-holders. Iron 1'ulpiU Jn Sptin. Spain also produced about the same period much beautiful iron work in the shape of molded rails or balusters and friezes of pierced and repousse work, the whole being often plated with silver. The use of metal lor pulpits is probably confined to Spain. Thce are sometimes of bronze, but also of wrought-iron. as in a church at Zamora, aud in that of San Gil, at Uurgos. Screens were also produced in England of consider able excellence, examples of which are those erected to Bishop West's chapel at Ely, and to Edward IV. 's tomb at Windsor, both made toward the close of the fifteenth century. . Iron tracery work, produced by cutting out patterns in plate and placing one plate ovfr the other, gave richness ot effect by means of the play of shadow, and was employed in the construction of the screen to "Henry V.'s tomb at West minster. Some grill work also exists in the cathe drals of Canterbury, Winchester and Chichester. Grills we're much produced in France, where ironwork attained to a high degree of excellence. When Charles V. ordered his library to be removed irom the Cite, the windows of the Tower of the Fauconnerie were ornamented with grills 'to keep it from birds and ether beasts!' They were used for windows over doors, for balconies and even for chimneys. It was the expense of the elaborate 'crifles' at Ver sailles which led to the disgrace of Colbert. The grills to the churches of St. Eoche and Sf. Germain l'Auxerrois furnish matter for much commendation to tlie newspapers of the time. The grills made for the Palais de Justice in Parts cost as much as 200,000 livres. Amateurs took as much interest in these products of the forge as in paintings or bronzes, so much so that a locksmith named Gerard, who had executed an iron canopy in 17G9, put it on view for three days, charging those who would inspect it three livres apiece. This canopy was orig inally intended for the church ot Ste. Gen evieve, but the price asked 50,000 livres proving too much, it was never erected there. One Royal Locksmith. The art of the locksmith was also greatly appreciated in France, kings even taking part in its practical details; like Louis XVL, forgetting for a time the cares of State in the construc tion of a Jock. One of the curiosities of Paris mentioned by Gilbert of Metz in 1422 was a certain house in the Bue Bourdonnais which possessed as ni3ny locks as there are days in the year. The lock to a coffer of fif teenth century work has a representation of the Last Judgment. Philibert de Lormc paid in 1359 to the master locksmith, one Mathuriu Bon, as much as 0,011 livres for works executed at Fontainebleau. Louis XIIL amused himself with the art, not only giving his locksmith a pension of 300 liyres, but even setting him apart a room in the new chateau of St. Germain. In the eight eenth century much fine work was produced. Mercier, in his Picture of Paris, exclaims: "A locksmith among us has become an artist iron has become as supple as wood." Germany. in the fifteenth century pro duced much wrought-iorn work of a mther special character, such as the grave crosses and sepulchral monuments to be seen in the cemeteries of Nuremberg. Iron was also employed for well canopies, such as that at Antwerp attributed to Quentin Matsys. Originally a blacksmith irom Louvain, he came to Antwerp to seek his fortune. There, as the story goes, he fell in love with the daughter of a painter, and, to propitiate the daughter as well as her fattier, exchanged the anvil for the painter's palette; and before his death in 1531 he was successful in helping to raise the school of Antwerp to a celebrity equal to that of the schools of Bruges and Ghent. Ironwork was extensively produced at Augsburg under the fostering care of the Fugger family taking the shape of brackets projecting trom the walls, and grills over fan lights or in a balcony. Grotesque knockers are also common in Nuremberg. Keys were sometimes elaborately decorated, and the part which is now a common ring was once occupied by little figures in full relief with coats of arms and the like. The French Revolution was the cause of much splendid ironwork being destroyed, when, in 1793. certain provinces had to gather together every available piece of iron to transform into pikes and other weapons. Much of the ironwork of the abbey of St Dennis perished in this w ay; and even in England grills have been sold lor old iron because they hid the sculp tures in Westminster Abbey. The Grill-Work of To-Day. The greater part of the decoration of grills at the present day is produced by means of stamps or molds, which arc impressed on tue iron white heated and soft, supposing a leaf or floweris requircd,one of the proper iorm is forged in relief in steel, and then is driven into a larger block of pasty steel shaped like a punch or wedge, thus forming the stamper die necessary for the purpose of decoration. Leaves, again, can be ham mered out and welded on separately. Up to the reign of Henry VIIL, grills were architectural in design, Queen Elizabeth's tomb in the Abbey forming one of the first instances of the use ot a border of natural flowers roses in a tomb-rail of iron. The roses were cut out of sheets of metal, shaped on the edge of some instrument like a vice, and then fixed on by brazing. To make inscriptions, holes are first drilled and then a very small keyhole saw inserted. After the fire of London, iron came largely into use for building purposes, and very fine work was produced in the reign of William IIL A Frenchman named Tijon published a book of designs in 1C93 for the use of smiths, in which appeared the gateswhich were a little later ordered by the ICinc for Hampton court, and executed hy Huntingdon bhaw, the talented smith, under the general superintendence of Sir Christopher Wren. The beautiful gates of chiselled and polished iron now to be seen in the Louvre are of this period, and were executed form the designs of Daniel Marot, who architect to William IIL of Eng land. Wherevc the old-fashioned red brick houses with their tiled roofs and quaint dormer windows are to be seen, their iron staircases, railings, and the like will proba bly be found, as, lor instance, in Lincoln's Inn Fields or .Bloomsbury Square and in many suburbs. More Carious Than Beautiful. Cast iron is not so susceptible of artistic treatment as the same material when hammered, and the old specimens which have come down to us are, generally speaking, more curious than beautiful. Cast iron was used for cannon from the fourteenth century as well as for grave slabs, fire-dogs or .andirons, firebaeks, and the like. One fireback preserved at Bruges is dated 1565, and has two figures 3 feet 6 inches in height as supporters to the shield with which it is ornamented. A fireback at Wadhurst, in Sussex, was very elaborate, having, beside the royal arms of France and England quarterly with supporters, the Tudor badge of rose and crown, a crowned shield and ten human figures with monkey or dog-like faces, as well a couple of swords. Many firebaeks have Scriptural or classical subjects; but one andiron that has been pre served to us is decorated in a more homely fashion, having on its upper portion a fig ure in the costume of the time of James L, holding a tobacco pipe in the right hand, and in the lelt a jug or tankard the first of which decorations would have pleased the royal author of the "Counterblast." Such are some ot the various wavs in which iron has been trejted decoratively from early times, whidi perhaps may prove not uninteresting at the present day, when wrought iron enters so largely into the ornamentation of houses, whether for grills. fanlights, balusters and screens, or for the pretty lamp stands and brackets, in which a return has been made to early Italian work manship.

McDonald Wells as a Eule Do Not Make Much of a Showing. LESS THAN FIFTY BAEEELS EACH. light Producers Were tho Feature of the Field Yesterday. FIVE WELLS DUE AT WILLOW GROVE There was a decline of 500 barrels in the estimated production of the McDonald field yesterday, and it was given out last evening as 25,000 barrels. Even these figures are considered too high by many of the pro ducers, who are anxious to see the bottom drop out of the field. One of them who was interested last fall in a production of 16,000 or 18,000 barrels a daj: claimed yesterday that the output now was not more than 17,000 or 18,000. To prove this he said that the production in which he had been a partner had fallen to almost 2,500. The estimate of 25,000 barrels may seem high at first glance, but a little figuring goes to show that even this gives the wells as a whole a very low average. In the gauges given below there are eight wells reported which have a combined output of 320 barrels an hour, or 7,080 a day. Deducting this Irom 23,000 leaves 17,320 barrels to be divided among 350 completed wells, which gives to each nn average of a fraction less than 50 barrels a day. As there is at least 100 wells in the field making 100 bar rels a day, it leaves a very small average production lor the balance. There were few absolutely dry holes drilled, as in nearly every case oil was found in the Gordon or fifth sand. Five Wells Almost Down. There are five wells at Willow Grove which are either in the Gordon or will reach it the first of next week. Learn & Burson's well on the "Vanerscott lot, in the eastern part of the town, was in the top of the Gordon last night, aud filled up 1,800 feet with oik They were fishing for the bailer late last night.

WASHED UP BV WAVEa Bones of Men Burled Half a Century Ago Uncovered by Unnsnal Tides Much Speculation as rto the Identification ot the Remains Thns Discovered. -New York, March 18. Special The unusual tides accompanying the storm of two weeks ago, mode inroads into the beaches upon both sides of Sandy Hook, and disturbed sand dunes, which for many years had been covered with salt grass. Since then the'high northeast winds haver lifted the loosened sand by the ton from some of these dunes and swept it southward in dense showers, which pricked the faces of the beach patrols like needles. Near Spermaceti Cove, about five miles below the point of the Hook, and on the in side of it, the wind laid bare some human bones. When Captain Jack Edwards, of the Spermaceti Cove life-saving station, which is on the ocean front, heard of it, he sent men with shovels to cover up the re .mains. They did so, but the next high wind "uncovered them. Altogether, the bones of about six persons have been laid bare. At first it was thought they were the remains of British and Continental soldiers who perished during the Revolution. Then ihe storv went abroad that the dead of the hos- Eital ships were once buried there, but the ospital ship burying ground is and has for a century been further south in the bend of the Horseshoe. Tradition has it that many years ago perhaps 50 or CO there was a burying' ground at Spermaceti Cove for mariners wrecked on -the shore of Sandy Hook. This burying ground, according to tradition, was on the west side of the narrow sandy prom ontory alongside of the quiet waters of the Horseshoe, and several hundred persons, it is said, were buried there. It is more than probable that the waves and winds have in this lapse of time encroached upon this sandy cemetery. Captain Edwards said to-day that he meant to gather up the bones thus laid bare and decently inter hem further inland.

WiLMKTGiOJf, Dei, March 18. There was a lively row at the office of Keceiver of Taxes John T. Dickey late this after noon. Several hundred voters, mostly negroes, "tvlio had been waiting all afternoon to pay their taxes, grew excited when Dep uty Collector Einck closed his books at 4 o'clock and informed the multitude that he would receive no in ore taxes until Monday. The voters, mostly Bepublicans, claimed that the collector was willfully refusing the taxes tendered him. The charge was denied. When Collector Finck attempted to with draw, however, the frenzied voters armed themselves with baseball bats, and, with blood in their eves, started in pursuit. The police had to be called in to quell the disturbance, but not until a dozen blows were exchanged and a riot ensued. During the riot ex-City Auditor Mitchell was knocked down with a baseball bat and seri ously injured.. Several others were cut and bruised. Several arrests were made.
