 Connecticut Co. Settles. Representatives of the claims de- partment of the Connecticut company and Deputy Sheriff w. c. Hart yester- day came to an agreement regarding the loss sustained by the officer in February when one of his sleighs was run down by trolley car in South ingtOn. Hart had made plans to bring suit unless the company settled and he said this morning that the amount agreed on was entirely satis- factory to him.
 At the time of the accident a party of young people employed in Sessions clock shop in Forestville were enjoy ing a sleigh ride. MT. Hart's driver was in charge of the outfit.
 On account of the snow piles along side the tracks it was next to impos- sible to use the part of the highway ordinarily selected for vehicular traf- flc. In turning corner near the center of Southington the driver mo- ticed the approaching trolley car, but on account of the conditions was un- able to get out of the way.
 The young people were thrown from the sleigh and some of them were slightly injured. The Connecti cut company made settlement with them for the damage they sustained, but until yesterday they failed to come to an agreement with Sheriff Hart for the loss he had as a result of the wrecking of the sleigh. -1.
