SYRACUSE, n. Y, Oct. 1.-THE en-.
gagement of Miss Winnie Davis, the
daughter of the Confederacy," to AL
fred Wilkinson, of this city, which was
announced less than six months ago.
and which created so great surprise in
all parts of the country, has been
broken. Intimate friends here of Miss
Davis authorize this statement to-
night. They assign as the cause
the ill health of the young lady. Miss
Davis has not been IL good health for
some time, and she went abroad for the
purpose of recruiting her strength.
Her trip was beneficial, but did not re-
store her fully to health. Her mother
and her intimate friends felt that under
these circumstances it would be best
that the engagement should be broken.
and this step was most reluctantly
taken by Miss Davis. On the other
hand, some of Mr.. Wiikinson'S friends
are of the opinion that the re-
cent reyerses of his family, his
moderate income, aud the still more
recent burning of the old homestead
had some weight in shaping Miss Win
MES decision. Mr.. Wilkinson has
had nothing to say, even to his most in
innate friends, and conducts himself
admirably under the somewhat trying
ordeal. He refuses to be interviewed
on the subject, and seems much i'm
mersed in business. The statement is
made in a local paper that sometime
ago prominent gentlemen of this city
received request from the south for
information concerning Mr.. Wilkinson.
The failure of the Wilkinson family
was particularly inquired into. This
was thought by some to- be quite sig
nificant at that time.
