Middletown, Conn., Dec. 24.–Nine men who were among the 53 mildly insane patients accommodated in an outlying building of the Connecticut Hospital for the Insane, were missing today, as the result of last night’s fire. Dr. Havilland, superintendent, inclines to the opinion that the fire started from a heap of kindling wood near the heater. The property loss is about $25,000.
