The ENGAGEMENT eRokgN.
Winnie Davis VIII Not Marry Alfred
Wilkinson, of Syracuse.

SYRACUSE, N. Y. Oct l4-All tho curl
osity regarding the reported broken en-
gagement OF Miss Winnie Davis, "the
daughter Of the Confederacy,n and Alfred
Wilkinson, OF Syracuse, was assuaged last
evening when the young gentleman an
nounoed In person that it was true. It was
first reported from New Orleans, but the
Wilkinson family would neither affirm nor
deny the report. Various reasons were
given for the rupture, including Mr.. VII
kinson's financial standing, Miss Davis
health aud the opposition OF prominent
southern families who are intimates Of the
Davis family.
Mr.. Wilkinson said correspondent that
the reports sent out were so unjust and
unfair TO both himself and Miss Davis that
he would say that the engagement was
broken and that no marriage would take
place. Miss Davis health has been poor
for some time and IL was for the purpose
Of gaining strength that shewent abroad, I"
MIR. Wilkinson said. "She returned ia only
a slightly improved condition, and but a
few weeks ago she expressed the wish Of
both herself and her estimable mother that
the engagement cease" Further than this
Mr. Wilkinson did not care 20 talk. While
there is no doubt that the blow is a very
severe one for him, he is acting manfully.
There is great disappointment in cen
tral New York over the termination Of an
engagement that promised to end ia one Of
the most notable weddings this country
has ever known. II is believed by some Of
Mr.. Wilkinson's intimate friends that his
financial condition had something to do
with Miss Davis asking for a release from
her engagement
