That portion of Lafayette's population

gossip that has been furnished it by a young
lady who is prominent in its ranks, and who
is well known throughout that section OF the
city.
The gossip is that the wedding of Miss

to a well known young man on the Heights,
which was to nave taken place at her resi-
dence this evening, will never take place; in
other words, that the engagement between
the young couple has been broken.
NO REASON
1t is known for certain that the marriage
was to have been solemnized this evening by
Pastor Little of the Lafayette NJ. E. Church,
and that the event has been declared off.
No reasons lave been assigned by the parties
to the contract or their friends for this
somewhat strange proceeding. II this
h~eightens the impression that the engage
ment has been broken.

the husband of Miss Seguine this evening is
George Fuller, of Crescent avenue and Aston.
place. Mr.. Fuller is well known on the Hill,
and for many years has paid attention to
Miss Seguine. When he was a schoolboy he
knew her, and wen then seemed to enjoy
her company. Three years ago when he
was seen often with her, the residents all
predicted that the young couple would be-
come man and wife, SO that when their en-
gagement was announced a year ago no one
seemed surprised. The wedding was looked
forward to with much interest, but when
the rumors began to circulate that the en-
gagement was broken the Lafayette resi-
dents manifested great surprise. Many re-
fused to believe the rumor and expect to see
the ceremony performed tonight.

Pastor Little, who was to have tied the
knot, told a reporter of The JERSEY CITY
NEWS Yesterday afternoon that he had re-
ceived notice that the wedding would not
