Charles +. Mattlage, Jr., the son OF
Charles Mattlage, the millionaire provis-
ion dealer, of No. 1853 Hudson street, Ho-
boken, was quietly married to Miss Eta
Weaver, a chorus girl of the Casino
Opera Company, in New York about two
weeks ago. The marriage was performed
by Presbyterian minister.
The affair was kept quiet until day or
two ago. not even Mr.. Mattledge's most
intimate friends knowing of his venture,
and when the truth was known it created
profound sensation.
The Mattlage family move in the best
society circles in Hoboken. They live in
| palatial residence at No. 166 Hudson
street--a brown stone villa with an acre
and half lawn, decorated with minia-
ture fountains and fine collection Of
| plants.
The family consists of Mr.. and Mrs.
| Mattlage and four sons. Two of the sons
| are married to prominent young ladies in
Hoboken. The two remaining sons were
| Charles, twenty-five years of age, and
| William, who is five years Charles junior.
| The family are active supporters of the
German Lutheran Church. Eighth and
| sunday Charles could be seen at The
| services, and he was considered very
COED catch by angling prospective moth

Charles did not care for the society OF
| the fair sex, however. He chose for his
companion George Moller, another mil
| liOnaire'S sou, and they were inseparable.
Wherever Charles was would be sure
to find Moller, and If anyone knows more
than another about the courtship OF
Charles it is Moller. Moller Is now q
travelling salesman for coffee house
and is away on the road
SURPRISE FOR HIS FRIENDS.
Mattlage could generally be found at
Katenkamp's saloon on Washington
street. About two weeks ago he was
missed, and some talk was INDUCED In at
the time. but nothing was thought of it
until one night he dropped in and set 'em
up for all hands, stating that he was mar

Mrs. Mattlage is almost prostrated by
her sons conduct and could not be seen.
An intimate friend of the family said to
me:-"The idea Of Charley's parents be-
! coming reconciled is all nonsense. They
are very proud and sensitive, and the ac-

will never be forgiven by them.
II know that they viii never recognize

separation. II Charles determines not to
leave his wife he will probably be disin-
