BRIGGS REMEMBERS NOTHING.

Murderer of Mrs. Jones Arraigned at
 Bellows Falls, Vt.
 BELLOWS FALLS, Vt, Nov. 4.-In view of the fact that the murder of Mrs. Chauncey Jones at Langdon, N. H., is the first affair of the kind in this section of the country for nearly q quarter of a century it is not surpris- ing that hundreds fiocked to the little farmhouse, the scene of the tragedy, while many went to Claremont, N. H., where the accused man, George H. Briggs, was arraigned before a local justice. Briggs was held without bail to await the action of the grand jury without any evidence being produced except the statement of the county at- torney. Briggs declared yesterday that he had no recollection of what occur red at the Jones house.
 The result of the inquest has not yet been announced.
 Cleveland Jones was closely ques- toned by the authorities. He said that when Briggs appeared at the doorway of the Jones house the four younger children sought refuge in the cellar and were there when their mother, shot to death, stumbled into the front room to die
 They heard Briggs leave the house and his oath to return and clean out the whole place, so that without even a glance at their dead mothers face they all rushed to the home of one of their neighbors.
 Cleveland said that he saw Briggs struggling with his wife in his own doorway and heard her pleading with him not to go back to the Jones house.

DEATH OF EDWARD S. STOKES.
The Man Who Shot James Fisk, Jr
 Passes Away in New York.

The Man Who Shot James Fisk, Jr.
 Passes Away in New York.
 New York. Nov 4.-Edward s. Stokes died Saturday afternoon at the home of his sister. Mrs Mary McNutt, No 731 St Nicholas avenue. He had been un- conscious for three days and his death was expected at any hour He had been seriously i'll for several weeks. Previous to that he had been ailing for more than two years. He suffered from complication of troubles. of which the chief was Bright's disease.
 Stokes came into notoriety thirty years ago by the shooting of James Fisk, jr. the Erie railroad king. He was born in Philadelphia April 27. 1911 He came to New York when 20 years old, handsome. athletic young man. He entered into business in Wall street and made money rapidly. finally be- coming owner of the Brooklyn Oil Re lining company at Hunters Point. If was in 1864 that Stokes met Fisk. who had watched his speculative deals un- III he became anxious to have him as- sociated with him, particularly in the oil business in connection with the Erie railway. They were fast friends for several years. and the acquaintance was mutually profitable. extending as 1t did through the period when Fisk and Jay Gould controlled the railway system and the judiciary, Then the woman Josephine Mansfield came be- tween them. Fisk obtained an indict ment against Stokes on the charge of blackmaiL When news of the indict- ment reached Stokes he rushed to the Grand Central hotel and shot Fisk as he was coming down the stairs. On the first trial the jury disagreed Stokes was convicted of murder in the first degree on the second trial and sentenced to be hanged February 2S. 1873 Then began a legal battle for Stokes's life. which ended in a third trial and a verdict of manslaughter in the third degree. Stokes received the full penalty, four years It was short ened by good behavior and on October IA, 1876, Stokes was once more a free man. He was restored to citizenhip by President Cleveland. December 1, 1884.

FRANCE SENDS NOTE.
Formal Demands Made Upon Turkey
 For Satisfaction.

PARIS, Nov. 4.-M. Delcasse, min- ister of foreign affairs, has telegraphed M. Bapst, councillor of the French em- hassy at Constantinople, directing him, so it Ts announced, to present to lew fix Pasha, Ottoman minister of foreign affairs, note asking how the Turkish government proposes to pay the Loran- do claim and demanding the execution of the sultan's trade dealing with that matter
 The note will also request satisfac- tion regarding the rights of France which are defined in the various capit- ulations and treaties and which ill some cases have not been respected and in others have been encroached upon by Turkey.
 The declaration of what has been done bears out the statement previous ly cabled regarding the intentions of the French government.
 Admiral Caillard is expected to reach his destination today The foreign of flee has received no news from him since his division left the other di visions of the Mediterranean squadron en route for Turkish waters days ago.
 It is pointed out that the absence of news is not surprising, as the in- structions to Admiral Caillard were to steer due south and to avoid passing i'll sight of Bonifacio, Corsica, or travers- ing the strait Of Messina in order to prevent his movements being signaled. The vessels of the division carried only a normal supply of coal, but this would be much more than sufficient to en- able them to steam 1 ,500 miles, the es- timated distance they must cover be- fore reaching their destination.
 It is expected that Admiral Caillard will be joined en route by the torpedo cruiser Condor, which is stationed in Cretan waters, and may be met by the torpedo dispatch boat Vautour, which is stationed at Constantinople. It is also probable that the armored cruiser Ad- miral Charner, which arrived at Port Said Oct 31 from the far east, is being held there in order to join Admiral Cail- lard if needed. It is further reported that three other warships are held in readiness at Toulon to re-enforce him should their presence be necessary.
 Dispatches from Rome assert that the second division of the Italian Mediter- ranean squadron, which, as already an nounced, left for Turkish waters with the supposed object of counterbalanc- ing the French naval demonstration, will join the first division, which has been cruising in the eastern Mediter- ranean for some time.
 It appears also that the Greek war ships Psara, Hydra, Spetsai and Euro tas are now at Smyrna, where is also. the Russian Mediterranean squadron.
 According to dispatches from Toulon,- all the officers and men of the garrison now on leave of absence have been or dered to rejoin their respective com mands immediately.
 Three transports are preparing to re- ceive troops. The cruisers Du Chayla and Cassard are ready to sail at mo- ment's notice, and the battleships Bou- vet and Jaureguiberry will be ready Tuesday.
 The work of repairing the docks was continued throughout yesterday.

Passing the Immaculate Conception church the animal struck the driver in the stomach with his heels. rendering him unconscious. The horse got one leg outside the shaft and this made the situation more serious. With the driver disabled and the shaft pumping against his belly the horse was wild when he reached a point op- posite Spring street and it would be hard to say what would have happened had it not been for the pluck of q few fellows who sprang forward and stopped the runaway. Besides Mir Hallock. there were two ladies an1 q child in the team. but all except the driver escaped without injury. The parties were taken home in another carriage.

Further Details of the Attack IR
 Which Benson Fell.
 PRETORIA, Nov. 4.-Further details have been received regarding the at tack by the Boers under Commandant General Louis Botha last week upon Colonel Benson's column near Braken- laagte, eastern Transyaal. It appears that General Botha, who had been Joined by another big commando az gregating a thousand men, attacked Colonel Benson's rearguard Oct. 30 on the march and captured two guns, but was unable to retain them. Colonel Benson fell mortally wounded early in the fight.
 Major Wools-Sampson took com mand, collected the convoy and took up a position for defense about 800 yards from intrenchmentS prepared by the Boers. The captured guns were so sit uated that neither side could touch them.
 The Boers made desperate efforts to overwhelm the whole British force, charging repeatedly right up to the British lines and being driven back each time with heavy loss. The de- fense was stubbornly and successfully maintained through the whole of the following day and the succeeding night until Colonel Barter, who had marched all night from Bushman's kop, brought relief in the morning of Nov. l. The Boers then retired. Their losses are estimated as between 300 and 400 Colonel Benson did not long survive.
 Not only did General Botha direct the attack, fas already cabled, but he personally ehared ill the fighting.
