The Wedding was of the Quietest Do
scription and was solemnized at the
Frelinghuysen Mansion in Newark.
From the NeD York World.
Never was there quieter, more unpre-
tentious wedding in Newark than that
which yesterday joined Miss Tillie Freling-
huysen, daug liter Of the late Secretary Of
State Freiinghuysen, to II. Winthrop Grey
of this city. Indeed, one would not have
known there was a wedding at all had he
judged from the exterior Of the handsome
Frelinghuysen residence, at No. Is Park
place, Newark.
The exCluiv announcement in yester-
days VOrid that Miss Frelinghuysen was
to DO married caused a deal Of excitement
among society people, for 50 unostenta-
tlously We're the simple preparations made
for the wedding that many Of the Freling
nuysan's friends and society equals knew
nothing Of the matter until they read Of it
in the World
The ceremony was performed in the spa
cious parlors of the Frelinghuysen mansion
Mt 2:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon,
and no one outside of the family
and the minister officiating was
present. Pro. Hart of Rutgers college,
New Brunswick, formerly pastor Of the
Newark North Reformed church, per-
formed the ceremony, aud at its conclusion
NJ and Mrs. Grey left Newari. very quietly
1t is understood they will make their home
in his city.
The bride will be sorely missed by large
ci Gle Of friends and acquainta ces in
Newark, one and all Of wnOm can fiGd
nothing buo good to speak Of her. S 10 is
about 40 ysas old, handsome, well-educated
and accomplished. While her father, the
late secretary Of state, was in Washington,
Mis-, Tillie, with her sister, Miss Lucy,
were among the acknowledge bellies OF the
capital. Toe Freli ghuyssns ent5rtai .e1
with great magnifcsIce, and tho wife Of
the secretary and his accomplls ned daugh-
ters received the disnltaries Of the world at
their brilliant receptions.
At that time it was well known President
Arthur was mucn struck with Miss Tillle
Frei ghuysen's beauty and worth, and it
was thought by many that but for his death
She would have become Mrs. Arthur At
the death of Secretary Frelinghuysen the
family lefG Washington, and have since
lived in Newark and a5 their elegant sum
mer home at Lenox, Mass.
Miss FrallnghuYbel was an active and
conscientious worker in the North Re-
formed church. and quietly and with a
modest aversion to auy publicity went
among the poor Of the city doing good.
Her sister, Miss Lucy, Is now in Europe,
ana dnObueT SISTER, formerly KNOWN TO
friends Of the family MS Miss Sallie, is now
Mrs. John Davis Of Washington, d. c.
1t is thought by many thai the marriage
would have taken place long aSJ had it not
been for the late Mrs. Frel gluyseu's OBJ
je tion to it. Just how long the pair have
bee attached to each other is not known,
but Mr. Grey is we'll known TO Newark
society people, and was often seen walking
by Miss Frelinghuyse IS side or driving
about the city.
The marriage recalls the memorable duel
in which MIR. Grey figured some fifteen
years ago. john G. HeckscGer was
his antagonist, and the story Uh.cA
led up TO the encounter on the field
Of honor is regarded a; one Of tho mo s. in
tere'ting Of wuich New York societJ has
ever had any cognizince. The story dealt
primarily with the alleged untaithful loss
Of Mrs. Grey with the man waom her hu
band finally called out. 1t ,ended, after
the duel, with the husband securing dl-
vorce.
Mrs. Grey was a Miss Travers, a daughter
Of William B. Travers, one of the cleyerest
financerS IN Wall street history, and one #
the brightest wits ever known at the din
uer tables of New York He stood by his
daughter when the domestic troubles
alluded to overlook her aad sheltered aad
protected her until the very day of his
woman, talented aud accomplished, and
although f3r years SO iety turned a Id
shoulder toward her she was always re
garded as more sinued against than SHINING.
John G. Heckscher'was married man.
His fe was a Miss Whitney, a grand
daughter of cid Stephen Whitney, closely
connected with the PhPlixes AID other
New York families, and she brought to
HeckscEer good deal of money. He wa.
tK-o RIM f,arqnuoI ftlaod of Etyav
was by hi n introduced into the ia nily.
The domestic storm broke when Grey de-
clarei tuat child of which Mrs Grey be-
came a mother was not his, and refused to
recognize it or have anything 10 do with il
IN any way. The wife went to her fathers
house as soon as able, and Grey clalleug d
Heckscher to fight bim. The duel is UNDER
st jod t have acclrred in Canada, bat no
trustworthy story of what exactly occurred
was ever made known. 1t is said that
when the word to fire was given, Heck
scher fired in the air and that Grey missed
mis- ain. No second exchange of shots took
place. They came back here to New York,
and the hloOdless conflict furnished gossip
for the clubs for weeks atter the occurrence.
81 ce the affair Win is Grey has led
very quiet and unambitous life Before
his separation from his wife he hal baen in
the habit of dealing in Wall street. but he
is now rarely ssel there. 1t is stated that
up TO the time of his death Mr. Travers
brooded muca over the domestic row that
Grey had iGade ami always c0ntended that
there had not been sufficient grounds for 1t,
and as Travers was a power in Wall street
at the time, Grey, it is said, became afraid
of operating in the market lost Travecs
might find a chahce to crush him.
The divorced wife of cour5e had a circle
of friends, but society didn't care about r5-
ce eving her after the SC ludal stirred up by
he duel. and incc tho death of hor father
she has retired more from public view than
ever
Hecllscher is still the man around town
that he was when Grey called him out.
His wife refused to take any action on
the score of her husbands alleged re-
latijns with Mrs. Grey, aud they
are living together to-day Their eldes
daughter IS a very pretty girl and very
popular in society. Both sho and he
mother are prominent at society events
throughout tho winter, bus Heckscher hlm-
self is very seldom seen outside Of the clubs,
the theaters a ID the promenade.
