A FATAL FIRE IN HARTFORD
ONE DIES OF BURNS, TW0 IN SER-
 IOUs CONDITION.
Miss Mary eusnney's Clothes Catch Fire From a Small Stove in Her sis- ter's House-Eroris to Save Her Life Futiie-Two Who Attempted Now in the Hospital.

Hartford, Jan. 5.-One person is dead and two are in precarious condition as the result of fire at the home of Edward Starr, 29 Chestnut street, late this afternoon. Miss Mary Quenney succumbed to the burns she received, and her sister. Mrs. Edward Starr, and George Edwards are at the St. Francis hospital in a critical condition.
 The fire was caused by the flames from small coal stove igniting Miss Quenneys dress. Mrs. Starr and her six-year-old son attempted to extin- guish the flames, and in doing so Mrs. Starr's clothing caught fire. This, in turn. set fire to the woodwork in the room, and the utmost confusion reigned.
 The screams of pain from both wom- en attracted neighbors to the spot and fire alarm was sent in. In the mean time George Edwards, who lives in an adjoining tenement, rushed in and at tempted to save the women from burn 4li6 tO QCallli Out AAC SQllG1CQ tAC odlAAt fate as Mrs. Starr-his clothing soon ignited and he was badly burned. Miss Quenney fell to the floor. unconscious from the terrible pain she was suffer ing, and she was found slowly burning to death when neighbors rushed in and wrapped her in a blanket. She was re- moved to the hospital and died early this evening. The physicians who att tended Miss Quenney said 1t was re- markable that she lived a moment after the flames had been extinguished, so badly was her body burned from head to feet.
 Mrs. Starr fared little better than her sister and her recovery is considered doubtful. In her wild attempt to put out the flames which were eating away the life of her sister, Mrs. Starr neglect ed to protect herself and she was soon a mass of flames. When found by neighbors there was hardly spot on her body that was not blistered or cooked. She was sent to the hospital, and tonight it was reported at that in- stitution that the brave woman was suffering intensely and her condition was Drecarious
 George Edwards was not believed to be seriously burned this afternoon, but an examination showed that he, too, was suffering badly from the burns he received while trying to save the two women. He was also sent to the llos- pital and tonight it was said that al- though not so badly burned as Mrs. Starr he was in a serious condition. The damage to the building was slight.
 Hartford, Conn, Jan. 5.-Mrs. Rosa Miles, sixty-five years old, died to- night from burns received at her home this morning. Mrs. Miles has been liv- ing alone at her home on Francis ave- nue and this morning while attempting to thaw out a frozen water pipe with d bunch of lighted paper, her clothing caught fire. She was terribly burned before her condition was discovered by neighbors. She was removed to the hospital, where she died tonight.

FORM CLEARING HOUSE.
Half Dozen New York Banks Establish
 Independent Instisution.

New York. Jan. 5.-Half dozen of the leading banks, including the First National bank. National City bank, National Bank of Commerce and Ameri- can Exchange National bank, have es- tablished a private or independent clearing house. These institutions transact almost all of the banking busil ness for the big corporation of the city and their exchanges are necessarily much heavier than those of other banks. By clearing privately they are enabled to finish much of their routine work an hour or so in advance of the regular clearing house. Relations with the latter institution are otherwise un- changed.

RUSSIA WANTS NEUTRAL ZONE.
Peace Seems to Depend on This-Japan
 Opposed.

Opposed.
 Paris, Jan. 5.--It developed to-day that the greatest difference between Russia and Japan arises from the pro- posaI made by Russia that a neutral zone shall be established extending from Ping Yang in Corea on the south to the Russian frontier on the north.
 The Russian government has express ed willingness to recognize the pre- ponderating influence of Japan in the remainder of Corea and the two powers are agreed respecting the principle of the integrity of China and of Korea.
 Japan, however saw no reason why tke proposed neutral zone should be es- tablished. holding that the entire penin- sula should be subject to her prepon- derating influence.
 The attitude of Russia is believed to be due to the fact that if Japan con- trols Corea she will thereby be able to more easily menace Port Arthur as well es Vladivostock.
 The diplomat who gave to the Asso- cited Press the foregoing information expressed himself confident that Rus sia in her reply to Japan will give way on this vital point.
 A despatch from Vienna January 2 quoted a statement published in the Politische Correspondence and coming from a Japanese source to the effect that Russia had proposed the creation of neutral zone in Northern Corea running south from the Manchurian frontier as far east as Yuen-san and west to Ping-Yang which, it was de- clared, would be clearly unacceptable to Japan.
 St. Petersburg, Jan. 5--In her reply to Japan, Russia made great conces-
