NEWPORT, Ky, June 5. Yesterday

corroborated George II. Jackson's story

sented himself to Walling to be q de-

ing central figures in terrible lake
tragedy. While the Virginia was re-
turning from Milwaukee she collided
with the schooner Mary A. McGregor.
A thick fog prevailed at the time,
which rendered objects invisible at a
distance Of few feet. A panic on
board the Virginia followed, and a
rush for the upper decks was made by
the terrified passengers The quick
command Of Capt Stein, Of the vir-
ginia, who was on the bridge, altering
the course Of the steamer just as the
two vessels came together prevented a
horrible lake disaster Capt Stein
said that the collision was unavoid'
able. The Virginia, he said, was run

fact he attributes her escape from
