Blanken ship was held from the residence on North Church street this afternoon at 5 o'clock. Rev. Dr. John W. Stagg, as sisted by 'Rev. Dr. T. p. Marr, conduc ted the services. The pallbearers were: Messrs. E. K. Ward, Gillespie Sadler. William I. Van Ness, Hamilton W. Wilson, James W. Wads worth, H. A. Webber, Osmond U Barringer, and B. Swift Davis. The floral offerings were exceedingly beautiful. The Charlotte Lodge of Elks, of which the deceased was a member, sent a handsome pillow, with "W. A. B." in the center. A number of other beautiful designs from friends in and out of the city covered the casket. The death of Mr. Blankinship which occurred this morning shortly after two o'clock, is one of the saddest that has ever taken place in Charlotte. The News yesterday afternoon prepared his friends for the worse, for, the attend ing physicians held out absolutely no hope for bis recovery. He lingered un til the hour named, and passed into the great beyond without, for once, regain ing consciousness. His last hours were peaceful and death came gently and painlessly. As was stated yesterday Mr. Blanken ship's illness was the result of an over dose of chloral. Those who knew the dead man best, state that they are satisfied that his intention was not to end his life, but to seek rest from the soothing effects of the drug. In seek ing this end, he was ignorant of the amount of the drug required for a dose and his death is due to this ignor ance. Mr. Blankinship was an exceedingly popular young man. During his resi dence here he made many friends and all are bowed with grief over his sad and untimely end. All that mortal hands could accomplish was done for his relief, but, from the beginning, it was known that his condition was ex tremely critical. Heroic means were resorted to but to no avail. Death had marked him and human agencies counted for naught. Deceased is survived by a wife and one child. Mrs. Blankenship is a daughter of Mr. J. L. Davis, of this city, and sympathy, deep sympathy, is expressed for him and daughter. PUT OFF THE CARS. An Unruly Negro Ejected From the Street Cars. In the Recorder's court this morning Kelly Pennington was taxed with the costs for disorderly conduct while under the influence of liquor. Eli Wilson, ot one time a waiter at one of the Charlotte hotels, was before the court charged with disorderly con duct while aboard one of the electric cars, me conductor or tne car tesunect that Wilson boarded the car at the square and in a very abrupt manner asked the conductor to take his crutches. Afterwards, he changed his tone and asked the conductor to "please" take his crutches. When he went to pay his fare, the conductor tes tified that Wilson threw his money at him instead of handing it to him; that Wilson continued his bad conduct until the car reached College Avenue when he was elected from the car. Wilson denied all of this and stated that be cause he was crippled he pushed the money to the conductor to keep from getting up. He says this incensed the conductor who immediately commenced cursing him and, finally, put him off the car. The Recorder believed the statement made by the employes of the car line and fined Wilson $3 and the costs. Horace Hubbard was before the court charged with keeping a vicious dog. Several men in a vehicle passed Hub bard's house yesterday afternoon. Tied to the back of the vehicle was a cow. Hubbard's dog ran out and frightened the cow so badly that she jumped be tween the wheels of the hack and the vehicle had to be stripped of its wheels before the animal could be extricated The Recorder thought this was not sat isfactory proof of the dog's viciousness so. Hubbard was discharged. He was I warned, however, to keep his dog tied wnen a country cuw yao&eu tuaL wj. i i- --v -- r- -y -3 Xlio4- -tiro tr THE ALUMNAE ASSOCIATION.

Norfolk Excursion Return. The excursionists to Norfolk, over the Smith ern. returned this morning, having spent a most delightful two days in the Virginia city.

Mecklenburg Safe For Big Democratic Majority. Mr.- P. M. Shannonhouse, who, in the absence of Chairman J. D. McCall, is at the head of the Democratic Execu tive Committee of the county, tells the News man today that he has made some figures that indicate which way the wind is going to blow in the No vember election. He states that from the best sources obtainable, the indi cations are that the Democratic ticket, from top to bottom, will win in Meck lenburg by 2,00G majority. Mr. Shannonhouse is in close touch with the voters and his prediction, for this reason, carries with it weight. The country precincts are warming up and as the battle is hardly two months off, the lines are being drawn. In Charlotte the people have, up to this time, talked very little about the coming election. Just as soon as the Republicans put out their ticket, the fun will begin in earnest. Tomorrow the opposition will meet and it is said by those who are "near in" that only a legislative and county commissioners ticket will be launched. It was not the intention of the Repub licans to make a fight on the legisla tive ticket until the word was eiven out from Marshall that Senator Pritch- ard would be very much aggrieved should Mecklenburg Republicans "lay down" on him. To place themselves in thorough ac cord with the power behind the throne, the faithful few decided that a legisla tive ticket should be launched, provid ed a certain element of the party agree to allow their names to be offer ed on the altar of certain sacrifice.

MRS. HENRY GRADY HERE. En Route to New York To Be At Her Husband's Bedside. Mrs. Henry W. Grady, of Atlanta, passed through Charlotte last night en route for New York where she goes to be with her husband, who is now an inmate of a sanatarium in that city. As News readers are aware Mr. Grady disappeared in Norfolk, Va., a week ago yesterday. Wednesday, he was seen walking aimlessly about Central Park in New. York. He could give no account of himself and to all appear ances, was suffering from mental aber ration. Some of the newspaper men who had been diligent in their search for the missing Atlantian, recognized him and took him to a nearby newspa per office. He declared he was then in Boston and when given a sheet of paper, could not write his name. The case is an exceedingly sad one and Mrs. Grady has many friends throughout the South who deeply sympathize with her. Mrs. Grady was a Miss Gould, of St. Louis. She is an exceedingly attrac tive woman and her grief over her hus band's sad plight, is intense. She will remain with Mr. Grady until he re covers sufficiently to return South. "UNORNA. The Opening Attraction At the Acad emy of Music. The News stated several days ago that the opening attraction at the Academy of Music the night of the 29th would be "Unorna." The story is one of absorbing inter est, written in that masterly manner which characterizes all of Mr. Craw ford's tales; the theme is an absolutely new and distinctly original one, and the characters are truthfully and ac curately drawn, the preparation of the -story for stage purposes has been made by Espy Williams. Joseph Jefferson is credited with the saying that "Good parts make good r e tors." If such be true, then Mrs. Brune's 'company this season are all good actors, for rarely is there a play constructed where all the parts are good, such as exists in "Unorna." Each character is a clearly defined creation, absolutely alone and independent of any traditional delineation such as is so frequently the case in impersonat ing certain lines of character that are worn threadbare in theatrical presen tation. In "Unorna" every character is an original, with no prototype to fol low. Yovir Sxit How about it?
