signed at Tacoma Yesterday.

Tacoma. April Especial -Right-of-
Way Agent " g. Gosslin, of the North
ern Pacific. today handed in his resigna-
ton In pursuance Of request from the
receivers. Aside from the policy OF econ
only and consolidation pursued by the
receivers the reason for Mr.. Gosslins
resignation is thought to be his interest
In a number of enterprises in the state.
Dir. G0sslin has invested some money in
farm lands. mines and other properties,
and the rule that no head of a depart
ment shall engage in outside pursuits has
simply been enforced in Mr.. GossIin's
case.
The right-of-wsy department will. in
all probability. be consolidated with the
engineering department. OF which H.

 ern States.

Considerable surprise and sorrow was caused in this city yesterday after the arrival of the Memphis Com mercial-Appeal containing a special from Jackson, Miss, announcing the death of Gen. G. Y. Freeman. Gen. Freeman was well-known in this city which he visited often, and where he has large circle of friends and acquaintances who are sorely grieved to learn of his untimely death. The special says:

This an- nouncement will carry intense sor row to his thousands of friends throughout Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas and Tennessee, ill all of which States he was well known. He has been in III health for several months, but had recovered sufficiently to be on the streets yesterday and while he was not strong his friends hoped he was on the road to recovery. He was born in Holly Springs, Miss, about forty-four years ago. He was the eldest son of the late C.. Y. Free man, q prominent citizen of Holly Springs, and was a nephew of United States Senator E. c. Walthall.
 Gen. Freeman was prominent polit ically and socially and stood high in Masonic circles, being past junior grand warden and past deputy grand master of the grand lodge of Mississippi.
 In 1883 he married Miss Rosa Belle, daughter of Rev. ohm Hunter, pastor of the Presby terian church here, who died some years since, leaving son. Gen. Freeman was noted for his stood higher or had more friends.
 For the last several years he has been the representative throughout this section and Arkansas of Rich ardson X May of New Orleans. He was forced some years ago, owing to i'll health, to give up the practice of law. i'll which profession he had att aimed high standing.
 He died surrounded by members of his family and numerous friends in this city. He will be inferred in the City cemetery here beside his wife.
