STEAMER VICTOR DRIVEN BACK TO
 PORT BY GALE
Capt. Hooker Against His Own Inclinations Made to Cross Sound But Gave up When Four Miles Off Port.

The steamer Victor did not cross Long Island Sound today although Capt Toolxer at the behest of most of the Long Islanders who were here over night made an attempt to get to Port Jefferson. There was a gale blowing outside today and mountains of water were turned over the breakwater off Steeplechase. Capt. Tooker'S trained eye told him that it would not be safe to venture across today with the side wheeler, but he acQuiesced in the de- sire of his passengers to make the try.
 He took the craft four miles off port and then at the earnest solicitation of the passengers he headed about and returned. He had a hard time of it at that for there was a tremendous sea running and the wind had assumed hurricane proportions. After arriving in port most of the passengers ex- pressed their thanks to the captain for bringing them safely back to land and then they took trains to New York from where they will rail it to their isolated homes.

 LOW PAVEMENT
Fairfield Avenue Blocks Will Be Torn Up and Re 1aid-Crown on a Level With Rails.

The new block pavement between the tracks of the Connecticut Co. in Fairfield avenue is to be torn up the entire distance from Clinton avenue to the end of the work and relaid. The contract covering the work has been awarded to Silliman & Godfrey. The pavement was originally laid some 1-2 inches below the tread of the rails. It is to be raised until the crown is level with the rails, and the slope to the rails less than an inch. The same blocks will be used. They are the Wyckoff block and appear to be in as good condition as when they were laid. The lowness of the pave ment occasioned much complaint.
