The State Democratic Executive
Committee met at Raleigh, in the
afternoon of February 24th. The
matter of the selection of the place of
meeting of the convention came up
and excited warm and prolonged
debate. Large delegations were
present. Raleigh's c'aims were ably
presented by Mayor Thompson and
Hon. Oct. Coke, after which the vote
was taken, resulting in 14 for Raleigh,
6 for Fayetteville and 3 for Charlotte.
Wednesday, the 13th of May, war
selected as the date of the Conven
tion. In comment upon the meeting the

contact with the freezing winds of
the night. His clothes were bloody
and dirty, and to add to the gh'nstli
nss of the sig t. his body was frozen
and th'j man's face swelled to nearly
double its natural size. Whin the
body was discovered the man's hat
had been carefuily laid over his face,
showing plainly that wh n his assail
ants left him he was in a
STATE OF UNCONSCIOUSNESS.
His pockets had ben turned inside
out and his watch and a small amount
of money which he is known to have
had on him were taken. But this
was not all. So zealous were the
thieves for plunder that they acuallv
took his cuff buttons out of his cuffs
and threw tha latter aside in a c ump
of bushes where thev were found
yesterday morning. To obtain tbse
articles from Haney, they, evidently
had to use violence, for the ground

Portlock and Rudd on this statement
immediately put the prisoner under
arrest. George Chapel!, another
white man who was with Cooke when
the examination was being held had
blood on his coat, and being a great
friend of the prisoner, was arrested as
an accomplice. The jury then retired,
and after consultation rendered the
the following verdict:
We, the jury sworn to determine
when, where and by what means the
deceased, Edgar Haney, came to his
death, do say that we believe, from
the evidence, that
HE MET HIS DEATH

Officer Portlock and Rudd, after
hearing the verdicttltook the two men
in charge and carr ed them to tlie
Portsmouth jail, where they were
locked up. While in Portsmouth the
officers arrested a young white
woman named Sarah Webb, who, it
ii stated, bears a rather unsavory
reputation, and locked her up as a
witness, she being ou intimate terms
with Cooke.
Haney, who is about 30 years old
came from Powhatan county origi
nally, where he is said to own con
siderable property. , He Una been
employed on the Norfolk Southern
railroad for several years as an extra
conductor, and newspaper and fruit
vender. He was popular with his
fellow employees, and was a man of
no family. In Berkley he roomed
with Mr Broulett and took his meals
at a boarding house kept by Mian
Tatem. He was, n man of some
prominence being past commander of
Lee Lodje K. of P.. and was a mem
ber of a Lynchburg Masonic lodgo.
Haney stated to evera! gentlemen
in Berklev last week, when the death
of Mr. W. W. Corcoran was announc
ed, that he w; s he a nephew of the
millionaire and would leave for
Washington in a few days to obtain
$50,000, which, he said, had been left
him by the deceased. His mother,
he asserted, was a sister to Mr.
Corcoran.
Both Cooke and Chapell arc Berk
ley mfn, but bear not the best of
reputations. None of the belongings
of the deceased were found on their
persons. The men will be examined
by Justice Jones, of Berkley, to day.

custom. Raleigh has generally had
the lion's share of the official ap
pointments of the State but we do
not suppose that it is owing to any
undue local influence. It was two
Supreme Justices, the Treasurer and
Secretary of State and we do not
desire any change in them, nor as we
believe, does the public. We have
observed with some care the trend
of public opinion and that tendency
is crystalizing into the following
ticket for some State officers : For
Governor, Lieut. Gov. Steadman;
for Secretary of State, W. L. Sanders;
for Treasurer, D. W. Bain; for
Supreme Court Justices, Judge
Graves, Jas. E. Shepherd and W. D.
Prnden; for Attorney General, Mr.
Davidson. This selection, as far as
it goes, would meet our entire appro
bation. Mr. Steadman is a good
popular speaker and made an excel
lent canvass when on the ticket for
Lieut. Governor. Secretary Saun
ders is a universal favorite as is
Treasurer Bain. Judge Graves is a
model Judge, learned, patient, unpre
judiced and honest. Judge Shepherd
has given proof of his qualifications
on the circuit Bench and W. D.

any lawyer in North Carolina, a man
of broad culture, learned in the law
and thoroughly honest; and ' his dis
