Trinity Methodist Church.

The services at this church on Sunday
will be under the direction of the newly
appointed pastor, Rev. Jesse I. Whitley,
formerly chaplain of Randolph-Macon Col
lege. After tho morning service tho Sacra-
ment of the Lords Supper will be admin
istered. -,
Mr. Whitley has regularly entered on the
duties OF pastor of this large and intiuen-
tial church, and will devote all OF his time
and energy to the upbuilding Of the cause
of God in this city. Possessing fine pulpit
power, and great deal of energy as well
rs administrative ability, his appointment
TO this important position will doubtless
be a great blessirA, to the church. Mr.
Whitley was the unanimous choice of Trim
ity church two years ago, but he was then
in position from which he could not be
removed. hence he comes to a people who
will receive him gladly and aid him in the
arduous duties of so large pastorate. Mr.
Whitley has always been very ardent
Sunday-sohool worker.

Death OF This Eminent Physioian and
Polished Gentleman.

Dr. Stapleton Coates, one of the best
men and most eminent physicians in Vir-
ginia, died Thursday at Coal Hill, the home
OF his son-in-law, DR.. ]. L. Deitrick, in Hem
rico county.
Deceased was in the eighty. third year of
MS age and had been in feeble health for
moro than two years. For many years be-
fore his strength began TO fail so rapidly
he was regular weekly visitor TO this
city, where he was very generally known
and highly honored and esteemed. His
erect and manly form was familiar figure
on our streets, az was his face III the busi-
ness-houses of the city.
DR.. Coates belonged to that old school OF
Virginia gentlemen now well-nigh extinct.
He was a man of high literary accomplish
ments. strong and cultured mind, skilled
IN his chosen profession, which he had
practiced successfully since his graduation
In Philadelphia, when just entering man-
hood; and while as gentle as woman ne
possessed undaunted courage.
To the poor and needy he had always
been especially attentive, and II any one
characteristic Of his life entitled him 70
distinction moro than any other OF the
many that abounded in his character, 1t
was the liberal manner in which he be-
slowed charity upon those worthy OF IT,.
Neither in the practice of his profession
NOT IN private iiIe dlu ne turn uesI
ear to the appeals of those in want; in
fact he waited not for appeals. but
where he saw that help of any kind was
needed he was prompt to give it. His
charity practice was much larger than the
paying part, and in 1t he found great COM
fort, for no felt that he was filling his
sphere of usefulness and contributing to
the good and welfare of his less fortunate
fellow-men
The deceased was man of high sense
of honor. of strong convictions, and
loathed whatever smacked of deceit or
falsehood. To the community in which he
lived he was public benetactor: to his
friends he was kind and obliging, and in
his family he was indulgent, gentle, and
aifectionate. He measured well up to the
standard of true man. and having lived
in the fear of God he died in the full as
surance of rest beyond the tomb,
He leaves two daughters-llrs. J. L.
Deitrick and Miss Belle Coates-and sew
eral grandchildren. He has goodly num-
Der of relatives and hosts of friends in
this city. His remains were inferred beside
those of his wife, who preceded him to the
grave by several wears.

OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES.
Mr. Fisher Thinks He VIII Have No Trou-
Bile with His Men.

Mr.. G.. T.. Fisher, of New York, president
of the Richmond City and Union Passen-
ger-Railway companies. arrived II the city
yesterday morning.
When seen last night by Dispatch re-
porter and asked about the troubles be-
tween the officers of the Electric road and
the conductors and motor-men he said
none of the people had called upon him to
state their grievances; He was OF opinion
that everything would be settled IN a man
ner satisfactory to both officers and men.
One of the troubles. he thought, was on
account of few clerical errors. Some OF
the men have not gotten all the money
that was due them. This was caused from
the fact that there are several employees
of the same name. In handing in their trip
tickets in many instances they failed to
sign their full names, and hence some OF
the men have by this complication failed
TO receive their full wages, while others
have been oyerpald.
Mr.. Fisher said he had been looking into
this matter Yesterday. and every man Will
be paid every cent that belongs to him
Just rs soon as the mistakes can be proper
ly corrected.
When asked about the rnle of docking
the wages of the men when they cannot
make the full number OF trips required for
o days work on account OF broken car.
which order appears to be the main cause
of the trouble, Mr.. Fisher said he had
heard very little from themen on this point.
He seemed to think that no other rule
could work. 1t would not, he said. do TO
pay these employees without requiring
them 90 make certain number OF trips, as
it would be unfair to other operatives,
some of whom make more trips than are
required and are paid so much extra, while
Others may make very few.
Mr.. Fisher said he saw no occasion Tor
any further trouble about broken cars, as
new motors will Immediately be put on
every car which has not already been re-
equipped. and the portion of the road not
now double tracked will be made So, There
will be nothing TO hinder the smooth run
ming of the cars.
Mr.. Fisher stated that he had never in
his life had any trouble with employes, and
he does not anticipate any here. he VIII
look into any grievance the men may bring
to him, and if the officers Of the road are
wrong the employees will certainly begiven
their rights.
Mr.. Fisher added that he contemplates
making several improvements to the street
railways. New rails will be laid on the
Main-street line from Eighth to Laurel
street. which IL necessary to be done before
electricity can be used to propel the cars
on that route. He contemplates having
new rails put down on the whole Of the
Union Passenger road.
TO make the Improvements to both lines
that were necessary at the time the new
management took charge, Mr.. Fisher said,
would cause an expenditure OF about
500. .Q00

1 o'clock yesterday.
His place Of business was on Adams
street near Broad, and it was his habit

Mr.. j. o. Sullivan, an employe at Mr..
Warner Moore's mill. saw Mr., SaInucls
standing on the brink Of the dock on DOCK

from view for a moment. When he next

Mr.. Sullivan was prompt TO give the
alarm. ana ropes and poles we're thrown to
Mr.. Samuels. but he made no effort TO
seize them. Indeed, il is now certain that
he was unconscious. His heavy oyercoat
caught the water in its ample skirts and ne
did not sink. and boat having soon been
secured he was dragged ashore.
EFFORTS AT REsUscITATIoN.
Mr.. Samueis was carried into the store

sons of the deceased that the latter had
been in fine spirits all day, and SAID TO
them when he left home in the morning to
save dinner for him.
No explanation could be given why he
went to the waters edge Gt not beng IN
the direction of his home), but 1t may be
something drew his attention there.
Possibly from some sudden SEIZURE OF
dizziness he fell INTO the water.
That he was unconscious when help was
extended him there can be no doubt, as
under any other condition he would IN
stinctively have grasped the ropes or poles.
The CorOner's conclusion was that death
was probably from accidental drowning.
The body was turned over to the sons oil
