The Story of the Founding of the First Settlement to be Celebrated at Jamestown Exposition.

Dec. 3O-On the 18th day of December three, hundred years ago. there set sail from Blackwall, England, under the command of Cap tain Newport. three vessels, the God speed. the Susan Constant and the Discovery. the largest not exceeding one hundred tons burden. This little fleet and its one hundred and five pas sengers was destined to mark the be- ginning of the most important epoch in the history of the world. The com mencement of their voyage was inaus- piciOus and it's progress unhappy. By reason of contrary winds they were buffeted about on the great ocean for six weeks before losing sight of the English coast. It was after many more weary weeks of travel ere they saw land. the coast of Virginia, on the 26th day of April. i607 and, to the point first sighted they gave the name Cape Henry, and the peaceful place where they dropped anchor they called "Comr fort" which is the Old Point Comfort of today.

More than three hundred passengers were aboard the i'll fated train.
 Railway officials tonight are unable to assign the cause for the disaster All the physicians that could be assembled went to the scene. Dead bodies were found lying beside the track at a con siderable distance from where the trains crashed. A dense fog prevailed and it was almost impossible at frs to determine the extent of the disaster one passenger trainman who hobbled to a drug store said. "I can't tell how many were killed. I don't know how it happened. The special went through the entire train. It seemed that every one was killed in the last coach. The special engine must have run past the red target"
 When the news of the accident spread many citizens with their wives hastened to aid and comfort the wounded One woman almost stum- bled over the body of a two-year- old child terribly bruised She said the mother was killed.
