Another regimental reunion, that of the
Ninth Connecticut Volunteers, was held at
Hills Homestead, SAvin Rock, yesterday and
proved as enjoyable as the many others cele-
brated at this pleasant place during the sum-
mer.
The history OF the regiment is quite inter-
esting to New Haven people. 1t was mus
tered in October /, 1861, by Colonel Thomas
w. Cahill. They went to Lowell, joined the
New England division under Butler, went to
Ship Island. They took part III the expedi
tion to capture New Orleans, under General
Williams, and ia the battle of Baton Rouge,
where General Williams was killed and Col
onel Cahill placed in command. In '64 the
Ninth was granted three months furlough.
It was afterward consolidated into battal-
ion of four companies, with Tohn G. Healy
of this city as battalion captain. They went
to City Point and served for . short sine I'M
der Grant. After that they were sent to
take part In the northern Virginia campaign
under Hancock. and later in tho battles of
Cedar Creek and Winchester under General
Sheridan 1t was after the battle of Cedar
Greek that Captain John g. HeAly was made
lieutenant colonel.
Four members of the regiment have died
since the reunion of 1887. They are Frank
McKeon of Branford, John Muldon of New
Haven, Len Drew of Bridgeport, and Patrick

| HARTFORD, Sept. 20.-Patrick Moran, q
three year old boy, fell from rear window
| on the third floor at his house, ia Windsor
street, distance of nearly thirty feet, short
ly before nine o'clock this morning and re-
ceived injuries from which he is not expect
ed to live. The little fellow is a son of Pat
rick Moran, a laborer, employed by the Con-
solidated railroad company.
| The GuIIfora Mystery.
The case of the Guilford baby that died
recently, notice concerning which was given
Coroner Mix of this city, has been investi-
gated by the coroner, who finds nothing
| mysterious in Its death, as he finds that 1t
died of natural causes. The baby was four
| months old and died of bowel troubles. It
| was in the care of Mrs. Beckwith of Guilford,
| who took it to board, and mystery about the
child is Its parentage. It is believed that
the child was taken to Guilford from West
Vile and that its parents, or at least its
mother, had reasons of their own for not
grieving greatly over Its early death. DIR.
Flax made out death certificate stating that
the infant had died of Complication of
diseases" The doctor had only bean called
to attend to the child once and when il died
he was sent for make out the death certif-
cate.
The child had been previously attended by
the medical examiner of Guilford DR.. Rey-
nolds, who upon the death of the little unfor-
tunate notified the coroner, The undertaken
went to the Office of Probate Judge Post who
Is also the town clerk Of GuiIford, to obtain
burial permit. He had the name Of the
child but did not know the name Of either
parents. This seemed rather strange to
Judge Post and he made some inquiries of
the undertaken, who stated that ali he knew
about the affair was that New Haven man
had visited him in a hurry, made all the ar
rangements for the funeral and had been
anxious to pay him In advance. It Is thought
by some In Guilferd that Hartford was the
child's birthplace. The child was otherwise
an object of talk and interest from it's having
possessed twelve fingers and twelve toes.
