BURNED IN A PALACE. A Sleeping Car Thrown Down an Embankment and Destroyed by Fire. THE BISSELia BURNED. ROASTED OS THK BAIL TERBIBLB DISASTER AT MIDNIGHT TO A PASSESQKR TRAIN NEAR RCTLAÜD, VT. A New "J ork telegram to tbe Chicago Times of y ester Jay si ys: The New York train due to' leave Rutland last night at 10 pt m. over tte Ilarlem Extension rail

road m6t with a serious accident at Sot th WalUucford. which resulted in the death ot Charles Ii. ülssell and son, of Chicago. Ite accident was causad by a broken rail a few rods north ol the Btation. The train wss composed oi three cars a baggage, passenger and tbe "City ot New York" W agner sleeper. The train passed eafely over tbe break exc?pt tbe rear truck of tbe sleeper. It sprung off and over an tmbarkmentl5feet Llgb. The coupling bell ard It was dragged tuus 125 feer, until it cruolihd against a huge pile ot refuse marble, depositsd beside Kelly's marble mill. The coneusäion broke the coupling, cast off trie truck, turned tne cr upon its side and threw the rear eod ev ral feet across tbe mill-race way. and tt nearly right arjgles witn tbe track. Ibe pateut Lea'er was broken ty the tall, and In a momei-t tte car bad caught fire. The wind was blowing from the wet t and tanned the flames through tbe car, tbe heater being at the west end. Mr. Bissell vas tbe firtt of the ten passengers to get out. All had escaped Urough tbe wicdows and eatt door except-Mr. Bissell' sod, who was fattdoed inside in tbe debri?. He called to bid lather, "For God's eake, get an axe!" ' and bis father rep sated tae call. A by-standcr ran for an axe, but Mr. B s8311 was impatient and Jumped thrcunh one of tbe windows to reach his son . Net a sound was beard from either ol tbcm afterward. Tte car was XNVELOPBD IN A SHEET OF IL AMU ten minutes after tbe accident. It was impossible to render any assistance. Th9 smoke was so dense It is supposed they both suffocated Instantly. Tbe position o; the remains showed that tbe lather did net reach tbe Bon. Tbe father was in the west end and tae son near tbe center. Tte cberred remuios of the lather were Identified to-day by a watch with its chain and other trinkets, and the son ty a pistol and smoking pipe. The remains ot both wexe burned to a cinder. Ms rs. Bxby, Parker, and Gaines, friends from Vergennee, secured the remains, and tbe; wfra brought to Rutland and put into Cisketp, and will be taken to Verden nee lor burial. A. W, G.Iber;, of Chicago, is slightly injured about the ia;e and head. He lost most ot bis clothing, F. E. Woodbridge, Vergennes; F. J. Tltraey and wile, and Mr. Chip nan, ot Montrea', are slightly irjjured, aud also four others who pursued their journey names unknowr. It is supposed that Mr. Biesell and bis son were almcst Immediately suffocated, and that death ensued from this cause. Iiis said that tbe car was a mass of flame in an incredibly short time after the accident. Tbe curtstns, bedding, and bed were all of4tight and inflammable material, the car was of wood which was thoroughly seasoned, and that with tbe varnish would render it easily ignited and quick ot consumption. Alter ignition tue beat was Intense, almost AS FIERCE AS A BLAST-FURNACE. The heavy irons ware mel ed off and twisted into all sorts of sbapei; tbe brass and copper fixtures of the car wera melted and run together in masses of large aod small size; gold and silver watches, jewelry and glass were melted into liquid form and dropped op?n tbe ground and cooled off in masses in all sorts of fantastic shapes and sizes. Tne scene is described by eye-witnesses as heart-rending in the extreme. Nearly all those who escsped were in an almost nude condition and toe hight was terribly cold. Some of them were Injured, and the blood was streaming trom their wounds. Mr. Pitkin, of Pitkin Bros., Har;ford. Conn., was one ot those who escaped with nothing on but part of his underclothing. His bead was severely cut.and tbe blood streamed from ä (wound. He was taken into the mill near by andwaimed, and one man produced a cp at, and another a pair of pantaloons, and another a pair of shoes, and finally be was dressed sufficiently to pr jceed on his journey. Most of taeui were in tbe same plight. The families living in tbe vicinity were proa p ly on band, and tbey. witn the- passenKers in tbe coac?, soon provided tbe destitute ones with enough clothing to protect them from tbe cold. Among tbe p3rsons in tbe car at tbe time of tbe accident were tbe conductor ot tbe train, Fred Wilder, who had Just gone through the car, and the sleeping-car conductcr, Capt. Moody, who were ttanding t.gitber near tie forward end of the car. They were thrown quite a distmce, and Mr. Wilder's lantern was extinguished. B. ta succeeded In getting out of tne lorwatd door comparatively uninjured. The list ot the pas sengers was burned with tbe car, therefore it is Impossible to know exactly how many and WHO THE FASSENCJERS WERE. It is thought there were 11 people in the car besides the two conductors and tbe pcrier. These were Charles H. Biasell, W. H. B 83611, and A. M. Gilbert, of Chicago; the Hon. F. E. Woodbridge, of Vincennes; Francis J. Tierney and wife and Mr. Chlpman, of Montreal; Mr. Pitken, of Hartford: Mr. Cunningham, ot New York, and two other.', names unknown, who went south on the same tratn. On the noon train south came Messrs. W.. G Bixby, J. F. Rjbert, 8. S. Games and CaanesE. Parker, ot Verkenne?, who, in company with Superintendent Burdett, Dr. K. A. Pond aud several others, went down to the scene of tbe accident. Oa the same train wera Mr. Bixby and a brother of Mr. B.ssell's wi, who is Ellen, daughter ot W. R. Bixby, of Vergennes. When this patty arrived upon tbe scene the remsits of the two bodies had been gathered up and placed in boxes. It was thought tbey might be the remains ot tt ree persons, but an examination by Dr. Pond proved that such was not the case. Tbe remains of father aad son were identified by articles which tbey carried with ihem. Mr. Bisiel), Sen., carried a watch and chain and Beal, which were known by bis friends, and his son carried a platol and a pipe by wbicb he was identified. Es-Congressmaa F. E. Woodbridge, of Vergennes, passeger in the car burned, gave a reporter of the Rutland Herald , THE OIXOWINO STATEMENT: Mr. Bissell, his eon Willie, and myielf were on the way to new xcrar, and got Into our berths soon after tbe train passed Brandon. I occupied berth Nj. 6, aud Mr. Bissell and son were in troot ot me. . I do not think I was asleep when tbe car lelt tbe track, and as soon as tbe car came to a stand-still I s' ruggled to get out, and at

tbe same time heard Mr. Bissell eni.i-,. Save Willie, Fred, save Wil'j.i and then a cloud of smoke and flsr nue(j the

The Times tiV.s how tbe news was received at Chicago, and sketches tbe victims of tbe tragedy: The at petrance upon tbe bulletin board on 'Chang?, a stout noon on yesterday, of a telegram from FisbkUl Landing,"N. Y., announcing the accident, wa the signal for a ver? general outbreak . of excitement. The d'spa'ch wai not very full, bat its ttitement that Mr. Biasell and his son were deac acd tb&t ssvtrtl otter Cb'cago parties were injured W89 quite sufficient to break tne ordinary routine ot business with a shudder of anxiety for those who migtt be among tbe hurt, and of surprised sorrow for those who were certaiuly gone. Private telegrams of Inqiiiy were immediately forwarded t various members of tbe board, tbe answers to which eer at rast all fear that tbe loss of lile bad been greater than at first stated, though tbey confirmed tte ictelligenoe regarding Mr. Bissell, acd brought particulars of tbe disaster. The sad itt.lligerce reached the Shermin House at about 9 o'clock, when a telegram was received trom Vergennes announcing it. Adhpitch r q iestiue that full psrtlculars be sent was immediately lorwafdeJ, and in the course cf about two hours another dispatch confirming the firtt, but giving little, It any, additional information received. Up to the time of the recep.iou of this latter dispat.h, nothicg was said about tbe terrible news in tbe house, those who alose knew of :t hoping that it might not all be true and that tbey mght be spared tbe pain of breaking it to Mrs. Bissel!, tbe wite and mcther of tbe deceased. When, however, the tews was confirmed tbe gue.-ts were one by one acquainted with it and a reeling of gloom 89Uled cpn every heart. Mr. White, who ha long oeen Mr. Blssell's attorney, and Dr. McArthur, the family physician, and both INTIM TE FRIENDS OF THE DECEASED, were sent for, and to them was commit' ed the task of bearing the news to Mrs. Bissell, who had already began to suspect that some sad intelligence was In store ror her. The first dlspa'ch In the morning bad been taken to Mr. Hulbert, in the dining-icom, while she was at breakta&t, acd she bad observed the ominous looks and whispered consultation between hlmsalf and Mr. Morgan, and that both Immediately left tbe room together. The crushing information was broken to her as delicately as possible, and preparations for her Journey to tbe scene of tbe disas er were immediately set on foot. It wag not until the time for her departure had nenriy arrived that she was finally informed that there was no hope of seeiDg either husband cr son again this side tne gravp, and she has yet to learn ot the terrible manner in which they met their fate. She lest tbe city at 5 o'clock Us; evening, accompanied by Mrs. L. Bixby and Mr. H. J. Morgan, who will attend her as far as Kalamazoo, where she will be Joined by relatives wbo will accompmy ber on her sad puraey. Mr. Bitseil was so well known here in both business and social life that the news struck a chill through the city. He was tbe senior partner ot the firm of Bissell & Hulbert, lessees of tbe Sherman Honse, and a very popular man. He le.'t here only a fw days ag, onlaet Saturday, for New York, on business for tbe bouse, which be bad partially completed. A slight delay in some of bis transactions gave him a day or two ot spare time, wbicb be thought to occupy in a visit to his old home at Vergennes, Vermont, and accordingly went there with his son, wbo had accompanied him from this city. It was on bis return that he lost bis life. Tbey left Vergennes on Wednesday night for New Ycrk. It was I supposed, wben tbe news of the calamity reached here, tbat they must have been occupying a state-room, trom which they were unable to escape, and were burned as in a box; but the dispatches show this supposition to have been erroneous. CHARLES H. BISSELL was born in Livingston county, New York, forty-six years ago, and spent his early youth in that part of tbe country. His father, Benjamin Bi6S3lI,hada hotel at Avon1 Springs, New York, where he gained his first ideas of that business. His first move away from home was to Verkenne?, where ne took a clerkship in tbe tt .re of G. W. and T. Parker, with whom be remained several years. During his sojourn there he was married to Miss Ellen D. Bixby, whose parents still reside in Vergennes. Somw ht'.le time alter bis marriage he left Vergennes tcr Bristol, Connecticut,, where he assumed charge of a portion oi the affairs of Samuel Birker's mercantile and iron establishment. In the tpring of 1S54 he improved an opportunity that was offered for coming West, ti Chicago, and entering uopn tae hotel business, for which he had always bad a preference, and with Mr. H. J. Morgan teak the Bissell House, then on tbe corner of Like and Franklin streets This arrangement lasted but a short time. He formed a partnership with Mr. Church in the old American Hotel, on tbe corner of Lake and Franklin S-reeU", and remained there some yeais. Then tbe firm of Goodrich A Bissell took tbe Mattcs in House, on tbe corner of Randolph and Dearborn, and together ran it -until 1864, wbea Mr. Bissell sold out to Mr. Robert Ulli, and retired trom buslnes. In all his, liotel ventures. he had been very successful. Mr. Morgan, wbo was his associate in the B'.es9ll House,' went with him to each of " tbe . other booses, aod was with him In . the Sherman Is still there. Wben Mr. Bissell gave nphis Interest in tbe Matiesoo, he went) horna to Verkenne, and bought a farm, upon which be lived nntil 1874, and then returned to assume tbe m nagemetit of tbe Fountain Springs Hotel at Waukesbf. At fie c ose of the eeason he was appolLted manager of tbe

Gardiner Honse on Michigan avenue, and

retained trau position until in May of last year, be acd Mr. U. Hulbert, tf came SHPociatca aa leasees ot tb'j Shciman. Mis. Lamb, wile of Augu-tu.a D.
