GREEDY FLAMES TAKE HIS LIFE Old John Williams 1ncin- erated in a Fresno
 Barn.
Lamp Explosion Believed to Have Set Fire to His
 Couch.
His Corpse Is Found Wrapped in Blankets in Which He Had Lain
 Down to Sleep.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

FRESNO, Jan. 17.-John Williams, aged "A years, was burned to death at 4 o'clock this morning. He was a hos tier in the employ of pr. w. T. Mau- pin. Williams lived In a barn back of the house at the corner of M and Gala veras streets. He occupied a room in the middle of the stable, and on both sides were apartments in which wood and household furniture were stored.
 The blaze was discovered by Night watchman W. M. Rodgers, and he turn ed in an alarm. By the time the en- zines reached the scene the fire had gained great headway. When 1t was extinguished the body of the man was found in the ruins. It presented a ghastly sight. The charred corpse lay in what was left of Williams bed. The legs and arms were burned off ccmpletely-in fact, nothing but the trunk remained, and that was pro- tected by heavy blankets.
 Williams had evidently attempted to arise from his couch, but was probably overcome by the smoke and fell back on the bed.
 The origin of the fire is not known definitely. Williams had been drinking heavily Sunday night, and at 12:30 o'clock was taken home in hack. The fire resulted either from sparks falling from his pipe, as he was an inveterate smoker, or from a lamp explosion. It is thought Williams left his lamp burn ing, and that 1t exploded after he had retired.
 Williams was a native of England and an old California settler, having come to this State in 1S49. He engaged in teaming and mining, and was at one time quite well-to-do. He came to Fresno six years ago, and of late had lived on the bounty of Dr. Maupin. He was a well-known character about town, and was not a stranger in the Police Court, where he had been ar raigned several times for intoxication He always made a plea of illness.

WILLIAMS, Ariz., Jan. 17.-One of the most dreadful accidents in the his tory of the Santa Fe took place to-day at the Fairview Tunnel, about nine miles west of here. Sparks from the engine of yesterdays passenger train No. 1 ignited the timbers in the roof of the tunnel A gang of men was quick ly dispatched from this city under Foremen Matthews and Parker. The men fought the flames all night with out flinching and all day to-day.
 At o'clock this afternoon, when the flames were all but out, the men were alarmed by a loud crash, and in mo- ment a solid mass of rock and ourn- ing timbers came falling down. Every one ran for his life. Roadmaster Ly- ons and Foreman Matthews not ap- bearing, the wOrkmen went back into the tunnel to look for them. Roadmas- ter Lyons was found in the debris, ana was quickly taken out. It was seen that he was quite dangerously hurt After considerable difficulty Foreman Matthews was found under heap or rock and charred timbers. UnaWares, the men had walked over him several times. He was finally extricated- lie was seriously hurt about the head and limbs. and complained of pain in his side
 Several other men were hurt, but not as badly as were Lyons and Matthews. Superintendent Hubbard and Parker. who were standing within two feet or Lyons and Matthews, barely escaped with their lives. the former being struck by a huge powder in his dash for life That there are not more Killed is miraculous. as there were about fifty men inside the tunnel at the time.
 Lyons. Matthews and some laborers were taken to Williams on Superln- tenient FIibbard's train. Lyons lived for a short time after being taken out of the tunnel. He is widower and leaves two children in Los Angeles. He had been in the employ of the com pany for ten years and had but recent ly been transferred to the Arizona New Mexico line.
 Matthews is resting as easy as could be expected. It Is very doubtful if he will live until morning. He was gen eral foreman of the building depart ment, and has been a faithful employe of the company for many years.
 No through trains will be able to pass through the tunnel for several days, for at this time 1t is a sheet of flame from one end to the other. Pas sengers on to-day's train had to be transferred around the mountain through the snow.
