This great gateway, which has since

All the examples Illustrated are pro-
duced in like manner and of the same

ies-roses, leaves and vines-are NAM
mered into solid metal, and sheet-iron,
and the same fascination comes upon
us as we watch the smith fashion the

ings, and in the museums, are to found
examples Of the marvellous skill of the
iron-w0rlxers of the fifteenth and six
tenth centuries, many Of which rival
IN their beauty and delicacy the work
Of the gold and silversmiths of that
period. The grille of the great Abbey
OF Ourschamp, Picardy, with it's lace
like tracery; the famous Eleanor grille
in Westminster Abbey; the hinges Of
the, Cathedral Of Notre Dame, Paris;
the cover to the well at Antwerp, which
won for Quentin Mat 'ys, its maker,
lowered bride--these are among the
great works left for our admiration.
Like all art that of the blacksmith
has its GIBBS and flows. it's elimination,
its decadence and its renaissance. In
the seventeenth century the blacksmith
became locksnlith, substituting the
Tile, the saw and the drill for the ham,
mer and forge, and we lose interest in
his work as q smith. That and the next
succeeding century is the period Of
decadence. We look in vain for even
passable work during this period. Mel
Their in the worlds fair leld in London
in 1851, nor in any Of the subsequent
great eXpositions in which the achieve
ments of great artisans have been OK
plotted, was there shown work Of the
artistsmith worthy Of even mention,
the Columbian Exposition Of 1893
alone excepted.
Thus it is that the last half of this
1.-THE nineteenth) century marks the re-
vival of the art Of the blacksmith, and
what is of vastly greater difference Is
tle fact that we need not go abroad to
lind the .sindubitable proof of a revival
the fruits of which eclipse the richest
OF the medieval forge.
In the Manufactures building of the
Chicago Exposition were two exhibits
OF wrought-iron work which attracted
universal attention exhibits which bore
eloquent witness to the revival of this
art, one made by a German manufact-
urer, the other in Chicago, both exhi-
bits being in the form Of monumental

VAILLANT'S EXECUTION
Delayed by the Asking Of Executive
CIemency at the Last Hour.
Crowds Gathered I'm the Place de la

PARIS, Jan. 1.-THE execution OF Vail
liant, the anarchist, who, on Dec. 0. threw
bomb into the Chamber of Deputies,
was to have taken place today, but was
postponed pending final appeal to Presi-
dent Carnot.
The Place de la Roquette was again crowd
ed last night and this morning by about
the same throng OF sightseers who have
been waiting in that neighborhood since
Sunday night. The authorities are care
fully watching all the people who have
been hanging about the Place de la Ro-
quette, as it is believed to be probable
that sympathizers OF Valiant may at
tempt some desperate demonstration on
the morning OF his execution.
The Figaro today says that the docu-
ments in Vaillant's case will be forwarded
TO the Elysee Place this morning, and that
President Carnot will undoubtedly receive
Maitre Labori, counsel for the defence,
before coming to final decision.
The general opinion seems TO be that
Valiant will be executed tomorrow morn
ing.

ing a series of public hearings to

tion of their resolution providing that

who have reaped a substantial harvest for

of the Pinckney Farm Land and
Earl p. Mason Land Company,
which has been decided to the
city for highway purposes, should be con-
Cured i'm without delay, as thereby the
commissioner of public works can proceed
with the employment of the able
bodied poor, for whose relief the
improvement was designed. The
layout and extension OF the Blackstone
boulevard from Rochambeau avenue TO
East avenue, TO width of 50 feet on the
easterly side, is also concurrent matter,
the approval of which will be
agreeable to large number of citizens
who desire To utilize IL as a driveway and
speed track. There is also the resolu-
tion for the layout of Hunting
ton avenue under the betterment
act by which labor may be given to the
poor OF the city, which will doubtless be
concurred in. There is the usual number
OF petitions recommended and 20 be re-
ferred, and the session is good fora three

LOANS FOR NEW ENGLAND.

Restrictions.
No Collateral TO Borrow on-The

A dispatch from New York last night
announced that Judge Wallace of the
United States Circuit Court ordered an
amendment to the decree appoint
ing Thomas c. Platt and Marsden j.
Perry receivers of the New York and New
England Railroad Company be so amended
that the receivers may not borrow money
without the further order OF the
court made on special petition for
specific purpose and furthermore to
keep separate accounts OF the leased lines,
and to file with the court verified inven-
tory of the property which may come to
them. The court also ordered that no
payment of rent except the rent of the
Providence and Springfield Railroad, due
Jan. l. 1894, shall be made by the receivers
before April /, 1894, without the further
instruction from the court.
I'm regard to, the first restriction Mr..
Perry today stated TO representative of
THE News that any receiver may borrow
money IL he has anything TO borrow. on.
lnthis case there is absolutely not thing 10
secure loan and i'm view of his fact Mr..
Perry through his counsel requested the
court that the above order be made.
Money can be raised only by issuing certi-
ficates and TO do this the consent
of all interested parties must be OBJ
tanned, first and second mortgagors, pre-
ferred stockholders and all. For these
reasons Mr.. Perry requested that the or
der be issued by the court.
In regard to keeping separate accounts
of leased lines, this order was also re-
quested as in accordance with the wishes
of the receivers.
So far as payment of interest is con-
cerned there is no probability that any
of it will be called for before April /.
Mr.. Perry will file his bond for the
Rhode Island receivership tomorrow
before Judge Colt and it will be sent
to New York in the afternoon.
