Rev. Mcdaniel
Receives Ca l
PASTOR OF cLARKoeURe RAP.
TIST CHURCH WANTED BY
CHARLESTON coNGRE-
CATION.

CLARKSBURG. Oct. 23.-Thc Rev.
Robert B. Mcdaniel pastor of the First
Baptist church here, has received a
call to the pastorate of the Virginia
Avenue Baptist Church of Charleston,
where he preached the last two Srn-
days. and he is holding the call un-
der consideration. The call was unan-
imous. there not being dissenting
voice or vote.
The church is on the west side and
is in the midst of Charleston's most
rapid development. and is the young
err Of the two churches there. Trc-
mendous progress has been made by
1t the last five years and at the same
rate the next five It will be at the top
Of the list OF Charleston's churches.
The church offers Mr.. Mcdaniel more
salary than paid its last pastor, the
Rev. C. E. Griffin.
The Rev. Mr.. Mcdaniel is Just clos.
ing the eighth year of his pastorate
here. During tina time over 400 mem.
beers have been received, church
debt of $500 paid off, a handsome
parsonage built, and also three mis-.
sion chapels erected. Besides. church
improvements to the cost Of $4,000
have been made.
It is the desire OF several of the
leading ministers Of the denomination
that Mr.. Mcdaniel remain in the State,
and this will doubtless be taken into
consideration in his action MS to what
he will do in reference the call.

yesterday Claude Haley who conducts
a restaurant on Latrobe street, in the
heart OF the business district Of the
city. made an attempt to kill his wife

a big carving knife which he took from
the kitchen and there Is not the least
doubt but that he would have succeed.
ed had 1t not been for the fact that a
brother of Mrs. Haley was in the place
at the time and took up for her with
the result that Haley was knocked
down and pretty badly used up.
There has been considerable trouble
between Haley and his wife for some
time past and there have been many
quarrels. 1t has been but short
time since Chief Cole and the mayor
were compelled to disarm Mrs. Haley.
who was after her husband with a
knife. and 1t Is pretty hard to tell who
was TO blame for the trouble this time
and caused Haley to so after his wife
with the intention OF carving her I'm
with the big knife.
Haley, before he started to do the
carving act, closed the door Of the
restaurant and locked 1t. then started
