Body Of Rich Pittsburg Recluse,
However, Is Not Claimed.

The body of Edward Holloran. rich
recluse, who died in Pittsburg last month.
and supposed to have a sister in WASH
ingtOn. has not been claimed by relatives
nor has word been received in that city
from them to indicate where they are
or If they exist.
This information is contained in a letter
from the chief of police of Pittsburg, ad-
dressed to Major Sylvester.
The correspondence is the result of
telegram received in this city week or
more ago by the police department from
Coroner Armstrong of that city. asking
the Washington authorities to locate
HOlloran's relatives here. The quest so
far has been unsuccessful, though the
mans relatives live here now, or did so
within the past several years.
Chief McQuaide states in his letter that
in addition to a bank account of $1,000
Holloran was the owner OF two lots of
land on which he had built two small
that he was the owner of considerable
real estate in this city.
The letter states that Holloran died in
Pittsburg May 81 last. and was buried
in the Calvary cemetery of that place
four days later. Apparently we'll to do,
so the letter states. HOlloran lived like
pauper and in seclusion. He had little
contact. and few knew him Intimately
The Pittsburg authorities stated in adj
dition that yesterday they ascertained
that the officiating undertaken at Hol
loran's funeral. a man giving the name of
William Slater, had made application.

ACTOR H1TcHcocK's TRIAL.
Every Seat in Courtroom in New
York Filled Today.

NEW YORK. June 1O-The case of
Raymond Hitchcock, the comedian. who
has been on trial in the supreme court
for several days on indictments growing
out of charges preferred by three young
girls is expected to go to the jury today.
Every seat in the courtroom was filled
when the trial was resumed today, and
several hundred persons had been turned
away Mrs. Hitchcock was one of the
early arrivals. She was accompanied by
her friend. Mrs. Buckmeister. and Flora
Winston, one of the original complain
ants against the actor.
Miss Winston confessed at a previous
trial that she had testified falsely when
she accused Hitchcock. On her testi-
mony the Indictment in that case was
dismissed. The girl was arrested on
charge of perjury and is now under bond
to appear for trial at the conclusion OF
the Hitchcock case.
Justice Adelbert P. Rich Of Auburn
was the first witness called by the de-
Tense today. Justice Rich said that
aside from the present charge the repu-
tation Of the come dian for morality and
veracity was good so far as he knew.

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS

The dizziness in the general market mas
its counterpart in the market in this CITY,
where there seems to be but slight dis
position to do anything in the way of buy
ing and selling.
At the meeting today one of the brokers
excited some interest by putting in bid
for what he termed the Potomac Electric
Light seconds" referring to the CONSOLE
dated mortgage per cent bond issued
by that company.
These bonds have not yet been listed
on the exchange and have been used
mainly to defray the cost of the new
power plant on the Eastern branch. The
authorized issue is seven millions. but
the entire amount has not been put out.
The bid for them was 96 and interest but
there were no offerings and transactions.
The bid. however, served to call at
tention to the issue Of per cent bonds
Of the company which are listed and
which are known as "firsts," so that in
stead of 1O2 being recorded as the bid
1O3A was substituted for it and the asking
price was 105 There were. however, no
transactions.
The bid for the stock Of the Merchants
and Mechanics Savings Bank advanced
from 1S5. which was the bid of yesterday,
to 1874. and while this advance was made
without large transa ctions it is recalled
that 1t has been the case during the
past month or since the absorption OF
the Traders National Bank. AT that time
the stock was quoted at 100

meeting yesterday, and it was decided to
form a national association as provided
