A notable feature of this excursion
party from the banks of the Potomuq
was the presence of W. T. Crumn iia
caterer of the party. Ho is wnll known
to the nation as the man who
stood so nobly by the late Presi
ded Garliohl in his terrible
.sulTorings anil moved und carried the
martyred president from pluco to plaeoin
hia anna with the tenderness that n
mother bhows to her child. As Dr. Bliss
and the other attending physicians said ,
Crump worked twenty-two out of the
twonty-four hourscvoryday , So neglect
ful of self was ho that ho broke down in
his arduous duty , his spinu becoming in
jured from the strains occasioned by lift
ing the president. After General Gar-
Itefd 'A death many friends who recognized
his great work sent him to Europe with
the hope that his health would bo re
stored. The result , however , was only a
purtial restoration , and to-day Mr.
Crump is fnr from being physically
sound , Ono would not think so from his
looks , for ho is a ruddy-faced , portlygcn-
Uemnu , below the medium height and is
in the puma of life , just turninghis
forty-sixth year. Ho was a member of
the Twenty-third Ohio volunteers , of
which ox-President Hayes \rna colonel
nnd General John O. Cowln of this city
was ono of his comrades in the war.
When Rutherford B. Hayes was elected
president , Mr. Crump was made steward
of the white house , which tuition ho
hold until President Garftcld'd death.
Subsequently ho held thu fiamo place
under President Arthur for nine
mouths , until hid spine troubles
forced him to resign , Mr , Crump then
became proprletonoMho Summit home.
GaitlioMburg , Mrjiftx/miory county Md , ,
which is n beautiful ulral retreat twenty-
nine miles from M tvoiington. Here it Is
that the Methwlis otHie District of Co
lumbia , Virginia ; ] hni ( Maryland hnvo
their extensive tJhmpfnioetinK grounds ,
nnd it U also a very pjinulnr summer re
sort. CongrcssgrnnWd Mr. Crump $3,000
for his services tri tlio dying president ,
but Judee LawreHee , one'of the auditors
of the treasury , cm ] il'Vlown lo 500 on Iho
ground that the bunollefar.v was n trov-
eminent employo'.flt the time. He had
;
another bill for $ o)00 , { ) .presented to con
gress , but it was natural lo suppose that it
died in commUteu'Whcn ' the eomplexion
of the present hottfce N considered.
'
Mr. Crump very cordially showed the
representative 01 the Hr.fi through his
apartments , The lirst car on the train Is
entirely devoted to cooking. There nro
in it a largo rango.brollcr , pastry cooker ,
etc , in fact every thing that the best up *
pointed hotel kitchen could have for cul
inary purposes. Thn car isdevole.d to no
other uses. Mr. Crump has fourteen as
sistants , and IIP is able to gotuptholinest
dinner in an hour and torty minutes.
The next car Is devoted to dining pur
pose * , llfly-six being accommodated atone
ono silling. There tire UO to bo fed three
times a dayRo It can bo scon the caterer's
position is not a very easy ono. Break
fast is served from 6 to U o'clock ; lunch
from 12.IO to 2 o'clock , and dinner nt 5
o'clock. By requestor the parly no elaborate -
aborato menus nro prepared , but the
meals arc equal to any obtained
in the best hotels notwithstanding
this desire. Ycstcidav the party
had Its first meal in Nebraska , ns dinner
was served shortly after the train left the
boundaries of the city , The bill of faro
'included roost beef , "chicken , cnrrio of
lamb with green peas , ham nnd cabbage ,
potatoes , sliced tomatoes , bread custard
and any variety of sauces , desert sweets ,
fruits of all kinds , tea coffee , etc. , etc.
The caterer has provided everything that
the season affords and money can buy in
'the food line , and inasmuch as rumors of
the drought in thu west had reached
"Washington before the party started it
wns deemed best as a sanitary precaution
to lay in a bountiful simply of liquids.
So it is that oven if the train did
pass through Iowa there wcro within its
capacious "lockers" all the wines that
the most critical gourmand could desire ;
beer of Ganibrinus' favorite brow ; min
eral waters , cordials , imported ginger
ule in fact anything that the thirst might
crave. The party iins its own barber
shop aboard and nothing is wanting to
make the thirty day's trip a memorable
pno.

COMMISSIONKK BLACK.
The commissioner of pensions is a
handsome man , and to look at him anil
remember the paper portraits would
make a person wish to cast the latter into
oblivion forever. No portrait of the
commissioner yet given to the pub
lic resembles Gen. Black in tlio
least. Ho is of fine face and form and in
middle age. Uo wears a moustache and
short-cut chin whiskers , both being
nearly all gray. A constant smile plays
across his features , and not many men
are brighter and moro pleasing conver
sationalists than lie. Ho looks the last
man in the world who would deal
harshly with a soldier or endeavor
to wrongfully criminates a predecessor
in odico. CommLsMtmor Black said ho
did not know when the pension commit
tee would finish its deliberations. They
seemed to take the matter very easy dur
ing the hot woathnr , tlio sessions of late
being about ono a week. Ho boliavcd
that the chaises made against ex-Com
missioner Dudley could be sustained and
his' only object in calling Iho attention of
congress to the matter was lor the. good
ofj'lho public service. In regard to Presi
dent Cleveland's vetoes of pension bills ,
the commissioner thinks that ho acted
the only way he could act under existing
laws. The public wore too hasty in judg-
\iift \ these matters. They formed un
opinion before they knew anything of
the circumstances. He challenged any
< > jio to have n greater love for Ins coni-
'ratles in arms'than ha had , but those sol
diers were human and wore in the wronz
sometimes. Ho believed President Cleveland -
land was at heart a true friend of the
bovs in blue.

When the train reached thn depot it
was announced that the department

earned the tickets for nearly all the ex

Visit of Frank Koime.y , tlin lintier
Clintnplon , to llfs Old Frlc.nilH.
All the old-timers in Omaha , especially
the shop men , know Frank Uoouuy , who
worked for some tlmo In the moulding
department of the Union Pacific , and
who was as popular while hero ns any
man who ever shaped Hmihl Iron In a
sand bed. He left Omaha some years
ago anil went to San Franeiseo , and there
ho became us popular as ho was hero.
Frank is a thorough workman and can
successfully hold his own with the best.
He is aUo a ttecp thinker , n man of edu
cation , u Very Keen observer of men ami
things , ami level-headed throughout.
He has made labor matters a IIfo study ,
and he wu not long in California hcfoio
hu l > ceamo the loader of wago-workera
there. Ho now holds ( he ofllco of presi
dent of the Federation of Trades and
Labor unions of tlio Pacilic coast , an of *
luo that can wield more power than
th.it of any other on the slope.
Frank ha * just been nt tending a con
vention of the Moulders nnioim of
America hold at London , Canada , and
was elected vlee president of the associa
tion , the other ollicers being P. F. Fit/-
Patrick , of Cincinnati , U. , president ;
Martin Fox , of Oincinnnti , soerettiryj
John O'ICcefo , of Trov , N. V. , treasurer ,
und an executive committee of live.
This convention lasted n week and was
the largest ami most important the craft
ovir held , there holng 103delegates. The
first principal discussion was whether
the moulders ns n body should join the
Knights of Labor , und nfter u lengthy
debate it was thought not best to dose
so at present. A radical change was
made in the constitution , especially in re
gard to the olllcnrs nnd their duties.
J'ho president was relieved of a great
deal of clerical work that ho was com
pelled to tlo formerly , nntl the number
of vice presidents was reduced from live
to ono. A committeeconsistingof Frank
Koonoy , President Fitxpatriok and George
Jorcy was appointed to call a meeting
of national and international trad en
unions for the purpose of bringing the
men who earn their livelihootl by the
sweat of their brow Into closer union.
In fact this was the principal object of
the London mcctlnc , The nu\t mooting
of the niomler.s will be in St. Louis in
1838 , it having been decided to hold the
conventions every two years hereafter
instead of every four years , ns hereto-
tqro. Mr. Hooney lett. for home last
night , being escorted to the. train by

dence in municipal matters in San
Francisco.
His Skull Crushed.
Yesterday afternoon Joseph Xobodecky ,
a lad ten years of age , came very near
beinc instantly killed on the Union Pa-
citic tracks near Nineteenth street. As
it is , thorn are serious doubts of his re
covery. Ho was stealing a ride on a
freight train , and in jumping oil' he mis
calculated the .speed of the cars , and was
thrown headlong on the track. Some
railroad mon ran to his assistance , and
he was picked up in an unconscious con
dition ami carried to the home of his par
ents , Seventeenth-street and Union" Pa
cific track. Dr. Gallmith , the company's
surgeon , was summoned and found a bud
fracture of the skull. Thu chances are
against tiic boy's recovery. Railroad
men say that in spite of tlio greatest
vigilance on tUeir part they cannot keen
boys aWny from the cars _ . As to the ordi
nance of the council , it is ,1 mere bara-
tello , neither men and boys nor polioo
paying1 any attention so it.
