Mill Owners Will Not Sign the Scale.

YOUNGSTOWN Ohio, Aug. 3.-Since the
scale was signed by the mill, of Brown
Bonnell & Co., other mill owners in the city
were interviewed as to when they would
sign the scale, and each asserted positively
that there was no intention of signing it.
One manufacturer said: "We started
out to fight this matter, and propose to see
it through. We will never sign the present
scale, that is certain; and we are more
united than ever in this matter. Even if
there was any disposition to sign or offer
compromise, we have no orders, and coulI
not light up" 1t is believed now that, with
out doubt, the mill-owners here and in this
vicinity have made an iron-clad agreement
and signed it not to sign the scale. On the
other hand, it is asserted in certain quarters
that their fight is in reality against the pud-
dlers, and as soon as they can secure steel
billets from the st. Louis plant they will
sign the scale and enter on the manufacture

refused to haul the train manned with un-

seine as II 1T was gossamer. The fisherman,
however, succeeded in getting him into
shoal water, where he grounded. Then
o line was quickly knottsd around
his tail forward of the last fin. This
was sufficient to hold him until another line
could be made fast to his head. when he
was launched into deep water and towed to
the Beach hotel, whore he has been viewed
by thousands. The monster is estimated to
weigh two tons. The measurement shows
the fish to be not less than sixteen feet from
tip to tip of pectoral fins, and twelve feet
from head to tail. The fish now in captivity
fills exactly the description given the
Ceratoptera vamprius, or devil fish, by the
best authorities in natural history. Its head
is truncated In front and rovided on each
side with pointed wing-like arms, separated
from the pectoral fins, and seemingly capa-
BILE OF independent action. These wings or
fms, provided OH either sido of the head, are
two feet and ten inches in length. The pee
toral or wing-like appendages on either side
OF the fish are of great breadth, triangular in
shape, resembling the wings of bat making
the transverse diamster of the fish greater
than the longitudinal, with tail in. The meas
urement Of those pectoral fins Is given above,
while the body proper is only eight feet in
length and the tail about three or four. The
jaws are at the end of the head. The lower,
or more advanced, and the transverse diam
eter OF the mouth, measures two feet and
ten inches. The eyes are small and lateral,
resembling the eyes of ON elephant, and are
located outside of the protuding wings or
frontal horns. The tail is elongated like
whiplasb, armed near the root with prom
inently serrated spinal protruberance. The
teeth are small, numerous. and flat, and ar
ranged in many rows Tho mouth, when
opened, could easily accommodate a flour
barrel The skin is rough to the touch, of a
blackish- brown, and on the belly white and
slimy. The habits and customs Of this fish
are accurately describe in the American
and are not uncommon in the
West Indies. This, however, from the best
authorities, is the third one that has ever
been captured in American waters.
