How Wealth Accumulates.

It has long been a matter of inquiry among thinking people as to how wealth accumulates so steadily and rapidly in England, when the rate of their consols and bonds is so low. The fact is overlook ed that, with the thorough system of audit each year by regularly chartered account ants, almost perfect safety is felt in invest ing in the stocks of incorporated mercan- tile or manufacturing companies. Experi- ence has proven that, after the transition from private firms business to an incor- porated company, the same thorough su- pervision by it's officers has continued, and even greater success has been attained the better class of incorporators retaining the names of the successful founders of l the business. . It is noticeable that in this country, | where the tendency to invest in industrial ! enterprises is on the increase, preference | is given, even by Americans, to those of
 our companies organized under the English
 laws, as affording safeguards not existing
 as yet here. One of the most successful oi these is H. H. Warner & Co.,, limited
 which some two years ago was organized
 under the company laws of Great Britain
 During the past year, after providing fol
 6 per cent. per annum on it's preferred
 stock and I'll per cent. per snnum on it
 common stock, besides paying off and can
 ceiling $306, 900 worth of it's debenture
 and carrying forward as undivided profit l over $100, ,000.

German Societies.

The German Dramatic society of this city acquitted itself finely in the recent dramatic entertainment it gave at Germania hall. Members of the Turn Hall Verein were guests of the society, and some had part in the theatricals.
 The sacred concert at Harugari hall Sun day evening was under the direction of Edward Balck, the violinist. The playing of MT. Balck was greatly enjoyed by the large number of people present. As vio- lin player he ranks deservedly high. There was also baritone solo by MT. A. F. Molhler.
 There is plan on foot to have more friendly relations among the different sing ing societies. There has been more or less strife among them because of the different prize contests and the prizes each has won at different times, and committee, con- sisting of Henry Kissinger, Charles Murtz, Charles Greener, Charles Funstein and Charles Fechtner, representing the differ ent societies, has been appointed to talk over the scheme.
 The Harugari Singing society, owing tc its large membership which is still grow ing, have decided to increase the size of their hall or build their own building. If these plans are carried out in regard to building their own building it will be made handsome structure. One of the principal features in the building will be 8 grand concert hall. MT. Wohlert, the president, said last evening that the matter of larger quarters would be talked up al their next meeting.

POLO.
New Haven Scores Another Defeat Hartford and the Local Players

New Haven Scores Another Defeat-
 Hartford and the Local Players
 Score to 1.
 The same old story-hard work by the home team, but harder and better by their opponents. The Hartford team came here last night and defeated our own quintette by score of 7 to 1. The passing and team work of the Sloopville artists was the best seen here this season. Cotter and Hipson rushed to perfection, keeping New combe and Wodtke chasing them around. The blocking of both Writings was one of the features of the game. Reed has given up polo for good and Allen played goal. He put up game with which the cranks could find no fault.
 Swords was as usual always in the way. The ball went in on him twice, however, but did not stay but once. The New Ha- ven rushers did not pass the ball as easily as they might. The passes which they made fell short or went out of the way or were generally bad. Hipson caged the fourth goal from the center of the rink, making a very pretty drive. Allen and Swords both made phenomenal stops.
 The makeup of the teams was as fol- lows:

Goals, Hartford 2, New Haven 1; fouls, Hart referee, T. Lynch; timer, W. L. Cooper.

A Fire in Warmers Foundry-A
 Small Fire in Durfee Hall, Yale.
 An alarm of fire was sent out yesterday noon from box S12, the private box of Warmers foundry near Tin bridge. The fire was in the packing room of the shop. Steamer Mo- 8 was soon on the scene and had streams of water playing on the blaze. The fire had gained good headway, but the firemen got it under control in less than half an hour. and before the hour was up the recall was sounded. Steamer No. 5 was on deck, but did not have 8 stream on. The damage was between $400 and $500 and is fully insured. The cause of the fire was probably spontane- ous combustion.
 A small blaze in Durfee Hall, Yale, caused by student throwing lighted cigarette into waste basket was the ocea- sion of still alarm at No. 3's house Sum day. Loss was small.

About the Breakwater and at Fort
 Hale Park.

About the Breakwater and at Fort
 Hale Park.
 The fish are quite numerous in and about the breakwater off Morris Cove, and many have been caught within the last few weeks. The fishermen say the reason of fish being more plenty than formerly is on account of the large oyster beds in the vi cinity of the breakwater. The fish go upon the oyster beds to feed and then go under the stones and crevices of the breakwater to rest or "chew their cud" perhaps.
 At one'part of Fort Hale park there is fine fishing, where large stones were put some years ago as boundary line between the United States government property and the old copper works. A hook and line on a long pole is necessary.
