Cleanliness demands careful attention to the
teeth, and experience indicates SOZODONT

their losses of beauty and vigor. 1t removes
impurities upon and between them; imparts
to soft or shrivelled gums the hardness and

His Fret Statement.

CATLETTsBURe, Ky, January 1S.-In the
trial for the butchery at the Gibbons man
sion, Ellis was this morning placed on the
stand and his cross-examination resumed.
He was required to face the jury and state
if he was not lying all the way through.
He looked the jury squarely in the
face and stated with unusual emphasis
that he expected to answer for his
statements, and then declared positively
that Neal and Craft were the persons,
without the possibility of a mistake, who
committed the murders. Counsel read the
additional confession to Ellis, as made in
Jail in Msysville, and the witness stuck to
it closely. MIR. Brown, of counsel for
defense, is making the cross-examination
searching, but Ellis does not waver from
his first statements. All the other witnesses
are strictly excluded from the room during
the examination.

VIRGINIA POLITICS.
Auditor Massey Defeated In Caucus
Talk of a Ballot TO Elect Him.

RICHMOND, VA, January IS, A. NJ
After prolonged and desperate fight, the
Readjuster caucus at 12:45 o'clock nomi-
mated Brown Allen, of Augusta county, for
Auditor of Public Accounts, by vote Of As
to % for John E. Massey, present
incumbent. Massey's defeat was due to his
refusal to submit to caucus dictation rels-
tive TO the appointment Of subordinates in
the Office. Six of his friends withdrew from
the caucus before the vote was taken. There
is some talk Of his nomination in the Gen
eral Assembly tomorrow, with the hope
that enough of his disaffected friends will
join with the Democrats to elect him any
how.
An attempt was made to-day in the GEN
eral Assembly to incorporate in the continu-
ing joint order, which had for its object the
election of certain officers, etc, the election
Of Auditor of Public Accounts, Railroad
Commissioner and several Circuit Judges.
A resolution to that effect was passed in the
House, but when 1t came to the Senate
the whole Joint order was rescinded, and
NewberrY Massey, Readjuster, moved to
defer the election of Auditor and Others
until Tuesday next. A spirited debate en-
sued, indicating for the first time during
the present session a split among the Sens-
tors OF the dominant party. The resolution
to defer the election TIL Tuesday was final
ly adopted by a vote of % to II, 9 Readjust
ers voting with the Democrats. The House
subsequently, concurred in the resolution.
The leading men of both parties will hold
conferences tonight.

The Gas QuestIon.

SAVANNAH, GA, January 18.-EidOr Horn
ing Ne,Us: There have been some efforts
made recently. through communications to
your columns and otherwise, to retard the
progress of the new gas company forming
here, but, as these efforts seem to emanate
from a common source, they scarcely re-
quire notice, further than brief statement
OF facts connected with the new enterprise.
The field OF competition in gas does not
materially differ from that in any other line
affecting domestic economy. There are Ger
tain mutual interests in it that cannot be
disregarded with impunity, especially in this
age Of progress. Wherever this is done
competition is invoked, and is eventually
established successfully. Applying this to
Savannah, party OF practical gas men who
fully understand every known process of
manufacture first sought TO ascertain from
the consumers of gasi this city an expression
Of sentiment touching a new company, aud
with remarkable unanimitY they have Gin
vited" competition, and at price that will
save in the aggregate many thousands OF
dollars annually to consumers of gas.
The number of these consumers was
found ample to remunerate the cOntem-
plated investment, and then a proposition
was made TO some leading citizens here
looking to the speedy accomplishment of
their purpose, and now an organization will
be effected within the next week and work
begun. observer" assumes that a certain
process is to be adopted here about which
be knows nothing. Il only need be said
that the new company will start at a fixed
price and on a paying basis. Only limited
amount of the capital stock has been left for
ocalinvestment, the gentlemen leading the
movement backing their judgment concern
ing the enterprise with their means, and the
character OF these men for business enter
prise and sagacity can be easily ascertained
ny any interested person. They are any
thing else than YIsionaries likely to adopt
an unreliable or untried process.
l will be pardoDed for saying one word
about the street lamps. What trouble has
been experienced has been caused by mex
perienced labor, but this is rapidly disap-
peariug and will soon cease to exist Per
haps It may make the matter better ap
preciated to state that the regular gas lamp
viii be .ei2stated as soon as the new COM
pany begins operations. which can scarcely
be later than June lst proX.
