A MEMPHIS SCANDAL.

Quickly Acquainted, Quickly They Quar-
relied.
MEMPHIS Tenn, June 27.-Memphis is
once more in the throes of scandal. The
parties of this, the latest development, is
T. A. Deloach and Miss Ida B Hampton.
AS the story goes, ii seems about ten days
ago Deloach who is q years of age, made
tie acquaintance of Miss Hampton and
shortly afterwards accomplished her ruin.
For the past four DAYS the two have been
living at the Priddy House as man and
wife This morning Henry NJ. Hamp-
ton, a steamboat pilot, and brother
of Miss Ida, found his sister, and
it is alleged by the friends of Deloach
that he compelled him nnder threats to kill,
to get out marriage license and fulfill the
promises he had made to marry her De-
loach, in company with the mother and
brother of Miss Hampton, secured the
necessary license and were enroute to a
ministers residence in company with the
betrayed girl, when on passing the station
hack stopped and going inside demanded
of Sergeant Kunholz that he be locked up
stating that he was being forced to marry a
girl BY her brother who had pistol aud
threatened to kill him if he re-
fused. To make it more binding De
Ioach began acting in very disofderly
manner so as to make it compulsory on the
officer to lock him up, which was accord
ingIy done and'so the wedding has been in
definitely postponed. T A. Deloach, or as
he is commonly called, Allen Deloach, is
one of the young bloods of Memphis. He
recently became Of age and the posscssor
of q sum of money which he has spent with
lavish hands among the girls Of the town
Miss Hampton is nineteen yeers old and
hitherto has borne very good reputation.
This is the prologue and first act Of tho
drama. The epilogue may yet be write u
in the blood of Dilaach as the brother of
Miss Hampton will hardly let the wrongs Of
his sister go unnveuged.

Mr. Francis d. Moulton, who died re-
Gently i'm New York, the city Of his birth, ON
the approach of his 50th year. was man of
uncommon talents, with a mental energy
and grasp that would have made him con-
spicuous in any calling, and had his am
bition been to have amasscd wealth he
might have ranked among the millionaires
of tie metropolis. From a school boy he
showed that kindly charitable disposition
which in 1870 led Theodore Tlton who was
ciassmate Of his at college, TO confide to
him his family troubles. Mr.. Moulton inn
mediately set about reconciliug the two
principals in order to prevent the democrat
ling effect ON society such an exposure
would necessarily produce. He called
on Henry Ward Beecher and brought him
and Tilton together acting between them
as q mutual friend, and of such value were
his services in tying up the storm" consid-
erod by Mr.. Beecher that the latter called
him "a priest in the sanctuary and said:
81 would have fallen by the way but for
the courage which you inspired and the hope
you breathed." With such skill did Mr. Moul
ton manage this social complication that the
scandal in its entirety was repressed for
more than four years When it did break
forth through Mr.. Tilton, Mr.. Moulton en-
deavore1 TO maintain neutrality, and as he
refused to return to Mr. Beecher the letters
no held, as the mutual friend, he was put
upon the defensive by aspersions upon his
motives and compelled TO testify No man
could have rendered more kindly service TO
these men than did Mr.. Moulton, and yet it
cost him besides the anxiety and trouble, at
east $4,000 Mr. Moulton began business
life as an Office boy at n salary of SO per
year. and afterwards acquired snug for
tune as an importer of salt He gave a
great deal of his time to the promotion of
dairy farming and agricultural interests
He was a member Of the executive com.
