SEVERE GALE ON THE COAST.
Damage to Shipping in Portland Har-
Dor and Elsewhere Reported.

PORTLAND, Jan, /.
A severe gale has been blowing all along
the Maine coast today and in the vicinity of
the dangerous Capt Elizabeth coast it has
been fearful. Schooner A, II. Weeks was
reported this afternoon at anchor off the
two lights with the liability of her chains
parting and the vessel coming in on the reefs
at any time. Tug Belknap that put out tc
save her could not get beyond the headlight,
so high was the sea.
A fleet of Nova Scotia vessels tried to get
from here home but came back Saturday,
some of the vessels disabled and the crews
frost bitten. A vessel is reported at Wood
Island with all sails gone. Fishermen re-
port three master eight miles off Cape
Elizabeth with tops of masts protruding
above the sea- The name is unknown and
there are no more particulars.
The wind is increasing in force and the
night en- the deep is awful. The schooner
Weeks was loaded with barrels by Z. S.
Hamlen Co.. of this city destined for Glen
Cove, New York.

What the inspectors Have to Say
About Them.

BANGOR, Dec. 81.
Capt William Flowers of Bangor, and
Charles Staples, Jr., of Portland State in-
spectors of vessels, have finished their work
for the season, and rendered an account of
their stewardship. There are now on the
inland waters of Maine, no less than eighty
steamers, and the value of these is about
Sl05 800. OF these, the Gov. Coburn is the
largest, also the most valuable, being now
worth about $4,000. There are several
others worth from three to five thousand
each, and the cheapest probably cost $500.
Sixty-three captains and pilots have been
licensed the past three years, as have also
sixty five engineers. In the performance of
their duty the inspectors have travelled over
ID, l5Y miles. They report that the numbt
of steamers on inland waters have nearly
doubled during the past FIVE years, and also
report that several new ones are in process
of construction.

The psntifcal mass today was great sue
cess. Thousands of people thronged St. Pc
ter's square early in the morning, awaiting
the opening of the cathedral. Sixty thous
and admission tickets were issued and the
cathedral was packed.
The Pope entered at $50, followed by the
cardinals, in a procession. His holiness was

of Long live the Pope"
The music of the mass was deeply impress
sive and many persons in the audience were
affected.
The Pope blessed all present and left the
cathedral at IL A. NJ. the whole audience
expressing their joy by clapping their hands,
waving their hats and handkerchiefs and en-
thusastic acclamations.
Later in the day King Humbert expressed
himself to the deputation from parliament as

the Pope's liberty in Rome.

dience. The Pope prayed a long time in his

borne Oh the shoulders by Sediari, attended
by cardinal, into St. Peters cathedral.

MAINE DISPATCHES.
THOSE BIG MOOSE
Captured In Northern Franklin County.
Especial to Kennebec Journal. I

Special to Kennebec Journal
LIvERMoRE FALLS, Jan. l.
/. II. James and Augustus Douglass, two
Eustis guides passed through Livermore
Falls Saturday en- route for the Quincy
House Boston with the skins and hides
o. two immense moose. They were shot
about week ago near King Bart
lett Ranch on Spencer and Kibbey's stream
in the vicinity of Eustis, Northern Franklin
County. The antlers on the largest animal
measured four feet from tip to tip, and the
blades in the widest part were eleven inches
in width. 1t is estimated that one of the
moose weighed 1900 pounds and the other
1000 The hide of the large one weighed 1875
pounds and the meat 600 pounds. From the
tip of the larger ones antlers to the toes of
his hind feet the distance was IL l-2 feet
In the chase three other moose were scared
up and the hunters driving them into pen,
had an opportunity to select the best ones,
which they evidently did. The two captured
were ahout to fight when shot, as was indi-
Gated by their loud belowings. The sports
men were about three hours following their
game. during which time they travelled a
distance of four miles. 1t required nineteen
shot from a 3S calibre rifle to bring down
the larger animal and fourteen, the smaller
one. James says that when he shot at the
big moose the first time he turned on him
but again started off at the rate of thirty
feet to leap. After stepping behind tree
to fix his rifle, which in some way did not
work very well, James again fred at him
causing him to increase his speed and then
cmptied the contents of his repeater into his
breast and sides. This is thought to be the
largest moose ever seen in that section of
the State. The proprietor of the Quincy
House has purchased the animals for mount
ing at large price.
