aged couple early to-day.
The crime is the most brutal that has
occurred in Mercer County for many
years, and this city and the entire coun-
tryside is aroused. Nearly a score Of
detectives are searching for the slayers
OF the old couple. and farmers are scOur-
ing the country with loaded shOtguns.
Rev. Andrew Armstrong. eighty years
old. had been pastor OF the Presbyterian
church at Dutch Neck for twenty years
His wife was a few years his junior.
Both were venerated and beloved by the
community.
The parsonage OF the Presbyterian
church is located in a lonely portion Of
the village. There are about 1000 in
habtants in Dutch Neck. Neither the
minister nor his wife was wealthy, but
during the years they have lived in the
village they have been able to accumu-
late a nest egg.
This was kept hidden in the house. and
Il Is for this, IL is supposed. that the
burglars shot the old couple down.

FOOTPADS KIDNAP
VICTIM IN AUTO

Forced to enter an automobile by
two armed men who brandished re-
volvers and held him up at Thirty
ninth and Hill streets, B. G. Wolfskill,
living at 3911 South Hill street, was
kidnapped within fifty feet of his horne
last night, taken to Forty-fifth street
and South Park avenue, and robbed of
$10.50. He was then dumped out of
the auto and forced to walk to his
home.
Wolfskill was on his way home when
the holdup occurred. He had just
alighted from a Grand avenue car
and was walking along the sidewalk
when an automobile drove up to the
curb and the two occupants alighted.
Throw up your hands, commanded
one of the men, who pushed a re-
volver against the face of the victim.
"And be quick about it." said the
other bandit, who jumped out of the
auto with a revolver in his hand
The men then made Wolfskill enter
the machine and took him to Forty
ninth street and South Park avenue
where they robbed him of all his
money and then threw him out of the
car.
Wolfskill told the detectives that
the auto was driven so fast and the
men acted so quickly that he was un-
able to get good description of them.

Expatriated American Wins in
England Unionists Gain
Six, Lose Two Seats

LONDON, Dec. THE standing of
the parties at the close of today's poll
ing was:
Government coalition-Liberals, 1913;
Irish Nationalists, 3S; Laborites, %;
total. 1S4.
position-Unionists, 40.
The UnionistS secured six gains in
today's pollings, the results OF which
were announced tonight, and suffered
a loss of only two seats. They thus
return to the position held before yes
terday's voting. The Unionist total
gains for the four days are Is, the
Liberal gains are IL and the Labor, 4.
Among the Nationalists the OBrion-
ties hold five seats.
The most notable Unionist victory
was in Cardiff, which has gone Union
ist only once in twenty-five years.
This victory was largely due to the
personal popularity of Lord Crichton-
Stuart who oVercame a Liberal ma
jority of 155, winning by 299, and the
withdrawal from politics of the old
member, d. A Thomas, who was re-
placed in the Liberal interest by Sir
c. Hyde.
There was an even greater surprise,
however, in the capture of Plymouth
by Waldorf Astor and A. Shirley Benn,
John Burns old opponent in Batter
sea, who took M. Durand's place as
the running mate of the young Anglo
American. They proved a good team
and the work that Astor had done in
the constituency was shown in his sue
cess in replacing C. e. Mallet, finan-
cial secretary to the war office, who
is the first minister to be defeated.
Almost everywhere in the country
the Labor and Liberal vote decreased
and the UJnionists were more pleased
with their gains here than anywhere
else.
The government gets some comfort
from London, all the districts of when
are now polled. Today the Liberals
won Stepney, which was Unionist, and
the Laborites gained Bow and Brow
ley. The latter seat was captured by

P-A-Y-E CARS ARE
WRECKED BY MOB

%vORONTO, Ont, Dec. IA riot to-
night, remarkable for it's spontanelty
and its fierceness while 1t lasted, re-
suited in the injury of eighteen men,
the complete wrecking of eleven street
cars and the shattering of the win
dows in more than 100 more.
For two hours a mob Of several
thousand persons surged back and
forth on the principal business thor
oughfares, demolishing every street
car that came within reach and COM
pletely tieing up traffic.
The disorderly scenes followed a
mass meeting at Massey hall. Two
weeks ago the Toronto street railway
installed pay-as-you- enter cars on the
principal lines. Much dissatisfaction
developed over the innovation.
Protests in. writing and by personal
appeal became so numerous that May
or Goley and the board of control de-
cided to call a mass meeting at which
the matter could be discussed. The
meeting resolved itself into a series of
fiery denunciations of the company,
and shortly before II p. m. broke up
in disorder. The audience became a
mob. The first car that hove in sight
was stopped and was reduced to a
scrap heap. Car after car was attack
ed by tho mob which rapidly grew In

the plot. An examination of the girls,
