They rode on a spur Of the Illinois
Central, which strikes the Mississippi
opposite Doris station, where they
crossed to St. Louis in a stolen skiff.
After they had shot Boismenue the
men robbed his pockets. They left the
place after enjoining four terrified
patrons of the bar, whom they had
lined up against the wall and robbed,
not to attempt pursuit,

knock the weapon from the robbers

through the body, while the other
struck him on the head with the butt
OF his weapon. The saloon keeper fell
dead.
After taking the contents of the
proprietor's pockets and of the saloon
till, they collected the valuables OF
the four men who were distributed
along the wall and backed out of the
Place.
A few minutes later a party of men
who had fled from the saloon when
he robbers first entered returned
well armed. They found the victims
of the robbers standing around the
saloon keeper.
Boismenue's saloon Is sort of

ferry passengers on the east side and
has a large patronage. Most of those
who were in the place when the rob-
hers entered were playing cards in
the rear. They escaped. Those who

Oriental Plane Tree Which Stands in
Lincoln Park.

Mr.. William r. Smith, superintendent OF
the botanical gardens. recently gave the
following interesting description of the
planting of an oriental plane tree In Lincoln
Park by the late Thaddeus Stevens, known
in life as the great commoner."

rity in the District Of Columbia" said Mr..
Smith, "is the Thaddeus Stevens memorial
in the Lincoln Park. Mr.. Stevens was known
as the great commoner He was a grea.
lover of trees and gardens In the height
Of his famous career as a statesman he was
requested by the superintendent of the gov
eminent Botanic Garden to plant one of two
oriental plane trees lately imported by him.
This was done. The sapling was planted
on the banks of the Tiber, little stream
then running through the garden. The
Bible speaks of the plane tree by the river.
A few years later the arching of the Tiber
became necessary, and to preserve this
tree it was transplanted. General Michler
then commissioner of public grounds, was
consulted as to site. and the thrifty young
tree was carefully removed to the center OF
Lincoln Park, a spot wherein had stood one
of the most extensive hospitals of the civil
war There it has been fourishing ever
since and bids fair to equal, hundreds of
centuries hence it's celebrated antecedents

same time, still adorns the Botanic Garden.
and has not been denuded of its lower
limbs. Strange to say one Of the negro men
who helped to plant these trees was buried
the day after this sketch was written.
There are many of these noble trees now
in our parks. At the suggestion of Mr..
Olmstead, prince Of landscape gardeners.
they were many years since planted in the
western approaches to the Capitol, where
they afford the most abundant shade, and
possibly, shed some Of their. luster upon
