Senator Arrested on Serious Charge. State Senator Chambers 0. Templeton, of Tyrone, Under $5,000 Bail on For- gery Charge. Alleged Peculations $125,000. Not only residents of Blair county but a large number of people in Huntingdon and the western part of Centre county were very much shocked last Friday when the fact leaked out that the reason State Senator Chambers O. Templeton, of Ty- rone, had withdrawn as a candidate for re-election was because he had been forc- ed off of the ticket by his former part- ner, W. L. Hicks, and that the secret un- derneath it all, it was alleged, was that the Senator had for a number of years been engaged in a systematic scheme of increasing his own finances to the detri- ment of his clients and friends. The cli- max came last Friday afternoon when the Senator was arrested on the charge of forgery, the following particulars of which are taken from the Altoona Times: Templeton was arrested on a warrant from the office of Alderman Theodore D. Crawford, of the Fifth ward, on informa- tion made by Miss Elizabeth Myers, of Tyrone. Miss Myers has retained Wil- liam S. Hammond to advance the prose- cution. The offense for which Templeton has been held is the appropriation to his own use of $1,000 of Mrs. Sarah Fisher, of Ty- rone, a sister of Miss Myers. She placed her funds with Templeton for investment and received a judgment exemption note, apparently county commission- er W. Howard Eo When it was presen or payment Mr. Harpster pro- nounced it to be a fi . The matter was then to ct Attorney J. Banks Kurtz, When Mrs. Fisher read the exposure of Templeton's methods she was over- come and is now confined to her home with serious illness. Her sister, acting for her, came to the office of Mr. Kurtz gud formally lodged information against m. The warrant was served on Senator Templeton by Constable Henry Auker, at the a Tyrone home. He was in his dressing room making his toilet when the constable called. After the summons had been read Sen- ator Templeton laughed and treated the matter as a joke, declaring that every- thing would come out right. Senator Templeton was taken before "Squire Taylor, of Tyrone, and entered $5,000 bail. O. Wallace Templeton, the Senator's brother, is his bondsman. District Attorney Kurtz stated that this is the first of a long series of prose- cutions that will be entered by those who will have suffered loss in an effort to force restitution. The extent of Templeton’s criminal op- erations has attained appalling propor- tions, and the end is not yet. No one can tell definitely just how much money he has made away with. Almost hourly new cases of abused confidence, and hun- dreds of people in Tyrone and vicinity who have entrusted funds to Templeton for investment are scurrying about trying 2 find out how They stand. Ww, L. Heke, empleton’s former law partner, the heaviest loser, his individual loss be- ing estimated at $40,000. It is believed that he will be liable for some of the Joney that was entrusted with the law firm for investment. Many alleg- ed embezzlements have outrun the statute of limitations, but thereis still re- dress at civil law. Widows, orphans, estates, fraternal so- cieties and business associates are said to have been caught in the crash and many persons have sustained losses which they can ill afford. The most sublime con- fidence had been reposed in the Senator, and he was trusted implicitly by every- body. His outward exemplary life and appearance of comfortable circumstances were assets that made his amazing opera- tions comparatively easy. Senator Templeton was for years the senior partner in the law firm of Temple- ton & Hicks, of Tyrone, which enjoyed a large clientage. He was a man very modest in dress and way of living. A member and elder of the First Presbyterian church of Ty- rone and for a number of years superin- tendent of the Sunday school. Inasmuch as he has no children and his family con- sists of only himself and wife, his alleged peculations were not made because of extravagance so far as could be seen by his friends or the general public. At first his friends endeavored to keep the affair quiet and fix things up but itis proving too collossal for them to handle. The prosecution of Senator Templeton will be in the hands of district attorney J. Banks Kurtz and W. Hayes Hammond, Esq., of Altoona, while he has secured as attorneys to defend him Stevens & Pascoe, of Tyrone. Since his arrest on Friday he is realizing the magnitude of the case against him as he is obliged to keep to his home and is on the verge of a nervous breakdown. On Monday evening Senator Temple- ton made an assignment of all his prop- erty for the benefit of his creditors to Ja- cob A. Huffman, a retired wagon-maker of Tyrone, in whom the creditors of Mr. Templeton have the utmost confidence. His property all told is estimated to be worth about $40,000, although the exact figures will not be known until the court appoints appraisers and they have made an appraisement of the property.

Great Democratic Victory in Maine Plaisted Elected Governor by Eight Thousand Plurality. ‘WE WIN TWO CONGRESSMEN, ALL THE STATE AND MANY OF THE COUNTY OFFICES. Republicans of Pine Tree State Defeated for First Time in Thirty Years. PORTLAND, Me., Sept. 12.—There was 30 Imcereainty in he voice with Which ne y recorded preference for Governor and her attitude on the issues of the campaign gelershly, the plurality given to F M.

In the face of the sweeping Democratic yun Ader were over. whe su a - tude of their successes astonished even the most sanguine of Democrats. It was the first Beuting the Republicansef Maine, the State of Blaine Reed, have had in thirty years, and by a coincidence Harris M. Plaisted, father of the present success- ful candidate, was Maine's last Democrat- ic Governor, in the year 1881. PLAISTED'S SPLENDID PLURALITY. Asher C. Hinds, of Portland, parlia- mentary clerk of the House of Represen- tatives, was defeated for Congress in the First district, while Congressman Bur- leigh, in the Third district, and man Swasey, in the Second, also went down to defeat. Colonel Plaisted, the Governor-elect, goes up to the capitol with a plurality | larger than that given two years ago to his defeated Republican nent, Gov- ernor Bert M. Fernald, of Poland. The election off without any un- fortunate incident, in fact it was one of the quietest in years. The vote was about an average one for an off year and the total will run to about 140,000. Governor Bert M. Fernald, of Poland, said tonight: “I have no doubt from the returns at hand that Mr. Plaisted has been elected by from 3,000 to 5000. I don’t under- stand why the vote should take such a sudden change in all parts of the State. THE VICTORY GROWING. Complete returns of the vote for Sena- tors and tatives in the State election Monday gave the Democrats sub- stantial majorities in both branches of the Legislature, which at the nning of the new year will elect a United States Senator to succeed Eugene Hale, a Secre- tary of State, State Treasurer, Attorn General and Commissioner of Ay ture. According to the unofficial complete re- turns the Legislature will have a Démo- cratic majority of 36 on joint ballot. The Senate will consist of 21 ts and 10 Republicans, while the House will have 88 Democrats and 63 Republicans. The last Legislature consisted of 122 ublicans and 60 Democrats, the Re- icans having a majority of 15 in the nate and 47 in the House. The Democrats have carried a whole or part of 13 out of 16 counties for county officers. Yesterday's show that the Democrats elected 13 of the 16 high sheriffs in the State. blicans elect- ed their shrievaity candidates in Aroos- took, Franklin and Washington counties only. In five of the counties Democratic sheriffs were re-elected, in eight other counties the Democrats gained the office. Control of the Legislature is of more importance in Maine than in some of the other States, because under the Constitu- tion a number of the highest State offi- cers are appointed by that . These are Treasurer, Attorney Secreta- ry of State and Commissioner of Agri- ou the ong appointments which rest with the new Governor are: A J of the Kennebec Superior a te Commissioner of Industrial and Labor Statistics, a State Commissioner of High ways and a warden of the State gE. b- Al these offices are now filled by cans. The next Legislature will have full charge of redistricting the State. mm— Red Cross Medal.
