Identity of tha Man Who Bought Order’s Son S 1l Closely Guarded. Special Dispatch (o THE CALL NEW YORK, Dec. 13.—There is little doubt that J. B. Haggin 1s the present owner of Hamburs. Most convincing, though circumstantial, evidence is the fact that Haggin left California a short time ago for Kentucky and :hat inguiry at his residence on Fifth avenue elicited the fact that he was in Kentucky last Friday. Tnis is just about the time the negotiations for the purchase of Ham- burg were completed. Further proof that Hagein is the purchaser is a conver- sation between Dr. Sheppard, who ex- amined the horse, and a very prominent person in turf crces, during which sev- eral numes were mentioned to Dr. Shep- bard as purchaser, to all of which tne icctor answ.red in the negative until gin's name was snggestel wuen the docfor's replv was: “It is 2 good man who bought the horse.” Suca links of evidence as these point dire to Hae- gin, who, it is hinted, last 1 intended 10 enterracing circles again after several yea-s absenc The Muil and Express to-day says those who connect the visitol William Lake- and to Kentucky with the purchase of Hambure say there is no doubt that Mar- cus Daly, the Montana copper king, is the vurchaser of the great racing co MecDoweli, Andy the trotting-horse n little credence sinould be ced in the report that Hageln was the purchaser of Hamburg.

MILLER’S RECCED IN DOUBT. Conflicting Measurements Given Cut by Surveyors of the Kadison- Square Track. NEW YORK, Dec. 13.—As a sequel to the six-day bicycle race in Madison- Square Garden comes the dispute as to the size of the track upon which the alleged world’s indoor records were made, With that track torn up, with the builder's affi- lavit that it was the required length when first put down, and with two offi- cial measurements, one differing from the other, given out by the mana-ement, it begins to look as if the discussion might be endless, or at any rate fruitiess. The measurements by these surveyors were mada on Sunday morning last with steel tapes. Both were made along a line drawn eighteen inches from the pole. The measurement made by Lloyd Collis shows the track to have been 535 feet 10 5-16 inches in length, or lacking 227.26 feet in the mile. The measurements made by Georee Rumguy give 555 feet 7 inches as the length of the track. According to Collis’ measurement the distance traveled by by the four l-aders, as compared with the announced score is as follows: GARDEN ECORE | CORKECTED SCORE M. Ashinger, the builder of the track, gave out a statemeut to-night that the track was short on account of the desire of the managers to secure more accommo- dations at the entrance of the Madison- avenue foyer. To do this he says the track was cut away some and the corners were altered slightly. But even at that he ciaimed to have measured the track with a pole and tape after the alterations and was of the opinion that it was the right lengtr. After Waller received his $300 t--day he said thut he would be out jus: $300 after paying expenses. Stephane and Rivierre areenjoying themselves here and wiil re- main some weeks.

It any such thing were in cor templation,” 'he continued, “I would know all about it, for I would have been consulted, and would be instrumental in taking the initiative aciion toward separ- ation. The relations between the Count and Countess are as happy as possible, | and I regret that such nonsense as these rumors should credence.” SRS T0 POSTPONE THE SALE.

Will Demand a Vindication Before It Is Accepted by the Board. Trustee Tyrrell Says a Summary Removal Will More Likely Be His Fate. tpecial Dispatch to THE CALL SACRAMENTO, Dec. 13.—The resigna- tion of Dr. O'brien of thn Preston School will b» taken up by the board of trustees atits mecting in San Francisco on Fri- day. To Tue CarL correspondent to-day the docior said: “‘My resignation has been in the hands of the trusiees since the 31 of this month. My rea<ons for resigning come ‘rom the annoyances which I believe will ever bover around the institution as long as incompetent assistants are permitied to retsin positions they are unfit for. My diflicuity lay entirely in that direction, and I see that the new superintendent is to be hundicapped by that infirm and in- competent old man, Captain Timotby Lee.” When asked what attitude he would as- sume at the meeting next Friday, the doc- tor repdied “I expeet to be and will be fully sus- tained and vindicated by the board beiore my resignation is accepted. 1 have been given to understand, by a majrity of them at least, that such will be their ac- tion. In that event, I shali gracefully re tire and permit all the rumors connected with my administration to die out, as they natorally will. If I am reiused such a vindication, I shall demand a most thorough and searching investigation. I wcuid be a great injustice to me to have the board sccept my resignation under the present circumstances and make no mention of its firm belief in the falsity of the charges which have been circulated against me.”’ Captain Timothy Lee is quoted in to- Us Bee as saying: Itis not likely tnat Dr. O'Brien wiil ask for an investigation, and it 1s probabiy just as well that be does not, for not one- half has been told. As for vindication, I am rather certain he will not get that.”’ Dr. Tyrrell, whose tribulations as a trusiee have brought him an unenviable fame, agrees with Captain Lee, and, in addition to what the captain said, contin- f he (speaking of Dr. O’Brien) tries to geta vindication he wili simply be ‘fired’ instead of being permitted to resign. A two-third vote wili remove him, and I don’t see how there can be an escape of a full vote for removal. In my mind there is no doubt that O'Brien’s superintend- ency1s ended, and that Hirschberg will be appointed to succeed him."” It seems that, after all, ihe trouble is by no means ended. for the deciaration of Dr. O'Brien 1o is vindicated he willdemand an investiga- tion, taken in conjuncifon with the dec- laration of Dr. Tyrrell, who claims that such a concession will not be granted, would lead one 1o believe that the summer may come again refore the two doctors will have said gord-by to one another.

ARSON, Dec. 13.—The County Com- missioners of Doygias County met by spe- | cial order to-day at Genoa to investizate | tne lynching of Adam Uber. A motion was made by Commissioner Fettic of Genoa 10 offera reward of $3500 by the county for the arrest and conviction of any of the lynchers of Uber. There are three | Cemmissioners in the body, two of Wi m | are from Gardnerville, the home of the | iynchers. The motion for a reward re- | ceived no second. The only action that | could now be brought to bear would be that by a Grand Jury, which will be calied immediatery, as Juige Mack has so or- dered. To-day's action of the Commissioners balks any move of the Governor, who had signified his willingness to offer a reward of $1000. District Attorney Nagle of Douglas made a strong argument before the Commissioners in favor of areward, and he is now doing all in his power 1o bring the lynchers to justice.
