At the Capitol appropriate eer- emonies were held. Around the Star which marks the spot where President Davis took the Inaugural oath as Pres ident of the Confederate States of America patriots gathered and with bowed heads stood during the five min- utes that had been set apart by gen eral agreement of the entire South as the space for particular reverence of the great statesman. Afterwards ap- propriate services were held in the Jefferson Davis Room in the Capitol.
 The city had taken cognizance of the observance through a proclamation of Mayor w. M. Teague, who asked that all business of whatever kind should cease during the five minutes desig- mated by General stephen D. Lee, that the railways and other industries. all trades and occupations should be idle. The requests of the proclamation were generally compiled with.
 In the same manner the ofiices of the Capitol were closed and when the em- ployes of the Capitol gathered with members of the Confederate societies and with other citizens about the Star, which had been decked with Q wreath of flowers by the Sophie Bibb Chapter of the United Daughters of the Con federacy, W. E. Fort, Private Secre- tary to Governor Conner. made short address in which he asked that those present stand with heads reverenttal- ly bowed.
 At the same time the Montgomery Field Artillery, under command Of Captain Todd, fired salute.

Of the forty odd arrests made since Saturday night. eighteen were made on charges of drunkenness. Twelve men were locked up in the city jail on the charge of being drunk on Sunday. This has caused the authorities to wonder where so much liquor is being obtained on the Sabbath.
