Misrepresented Outcome of an Accident.
The Union admits to its columns
this morning prejudicial account of
an accident which occurred on Third
avenue some time ago, in which Aid
ii. l.. Wheelan and his brother riding
in a cart drawn by a colt they were
exercising was in collision with a BIZ
cycle ridden by Miss Nellie Parker.
The tone of the article which the
Union prints, which, while in a meas
ure adhering to facts, is unfair to
Mr.. Wheelan, who at the time of the
occurrence did all that any one could
have under the circumstances, and
this morning he was much surprised
to find statement to the effect that
serious consequences had developed
as result of theaccident. Mr.. Wheelan
was not, as the Union states, speeding
ut the time, but was merely exercis-
ing colt and riding up Third avenue
in a cart, his brother sitting beside
him. He SAYS he observed Miss Par
ker coming toward him on her wheel,
and turned in as close to the right
hand curb as possible. but the collis-
ion was unavoidable. Miss Parker
was thrown from her wheel, which
was damaged, and Mr.. Wheelan.
springing from the cart, seized the
colt by the bit, and after the lady had
been rescued he made every repara-
tion possible. both in expressions of
regret and in solicitations as to her
welfare, and being assured the in zries
gave no promise of being at all alarm
ing, he took the wheel with him to n
repair shop and had it put in rood
condition. Today he received the
first intimation that Miss Parker's
injuries were of different character
from what there was at the time rea-
son to suppose. and be deeply re-
gretted to receive such information.
DIR. Chase, who is attending Miss
Parker. expressed surprise this after
noon at the Union article. and said
that the young lady's injuries were
not at all serious or alarming.
