The number of passengers handled bv the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company Monday reached l'o.- 900. When the count is completed oi those riding on the street cars yester- day it is believed it will exceed this great number Out of all the passen- gers handled Monday not one accident was reported.
 Service on all the electric lines mas been exceptionally good during the past three days, and considering the enormous crowds this company has done wonderfully well. Every car yesterday was packed. There was q car nearly every minute during the day to the fair grounds, where Hotel John B. Gordon is located and each of these cars was filled to standing room.
 During the afternoon traffic on this line grew to great proportions, several policemen and dispatchers kept the crowd in good order and assisted the veterans Noticeable among the hnrd worker was President A. Il. Ford oi the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company. who personally directed the handling of the cars at Third avenue and Nineteenth street.
 It was at this corner that most or tha persons boarded the far grounds cars. and it was one great crush all the afternoon. It required tact. quick wits and tireless energy to prevent an accident at this particular corner. but never even slight one happened The work of the motormen and con

TROOP A WILL BE.
 UNIQUE FEATURE
Is Only Company of Confederate Vet erans Now Under Regulation of

Perhaps one of the most interesting features of the veterans parade tomor . row morning will be the body of Con- federate soldiers known as Troop of Nashville.

 The company is composed of IA of ficers and about 60 men. Seven of the officers and 36 of the men are in Birmlng- ham attending the reunion. The men bear their arms and brought their saddles with them from Nashville. They have engaged as their headquarters Gelders hall Fourth avenue and Twentieth street, where they have a weeks rations stored.
 Troop volunteered it's services when the Spanish-American war broke out, but was never called into service. It will oc- cupy prominent place in the line of pa rade, acting as General Tyler's escort. The officers of the company who are in Birmingham are: G. F. Hagar, captain; Frank Anderson, third lieutenant; J. l.. McArthur, first sergeant; Ben Cook, first corporal; J. D. Couch, second corporal; J. B. Alston, fourth corporal, and Frank Hagar, bugler.

NO ILLNESS REPORTED
 AMONG THE VETERANS

So far the health of the Confederat ' Veterans has been exceedingly good while in Birmingham. None have been taken sick since their arrival the only i'll ones being three or four who wera feeling badly when they reached Bir mingham. Out of this number one of them decided to return home, while the others quickly began to improve.
 Two of the veterans arriving Mon day night were feeling slightly indis- posed and were placed on cots in a separate room in the Terminal sta tion. Yesterday morning they were all right and proceeded to mingle with their old comrades.
 The hospital at the fair grounds ex perienced a dull day. This hospital is In charge of full coterie of physicians and trained nurses but the only pa tients to report to them were few Of the veterans who were feeling slightly under the weather, but not enough so to take to heir beds.
 All of the undertakers kept their ann balances in readiness, teams remaining hitched to them all day, and ready Y, answer a call on a moments notice. Most of them remained idle, however. there being only one or two calls.
 A little excitement occurred at 3:30 o'clock at the corner of Third avenue and Nineteenth street, when George McCown, young man from. Selma. was overcome by the heat. Shaw & Son 5 ambulance responded to a call and rushed him to the Hillman hospital He was not seriously sick, however. and left the hospital in a few hours.

This morning the first business is the selection of the next place of meeting. Major General Andrew J. West of At lanta, the man who nominated Stephen D. Lee for the high position he occupied so long, will place in nomination the city | of Atlanta He is armed with resolutions from the Chamber of Commerce of Atlanta and has to offer a new auditorium that will seat more than 15,0O0 people. The Tennesseans are ready to make a joint fight for either Memphis or Chattanooga, whichever seems the most popular, and Houston. Texas, is making big light for the reunion next year.
 Then at noon the memorial exercises will be made especially impressive by the great sadness following the recent death of General Lee. This is the most trying, and yet interesting feature for the vet erans because year by year hundreds are dropping away.
 Then in the afternoon comes the elec- ton of the commander-in-chief. Sentiment seems to point strongly to the election Of General Clement A. Evans of Georgia. Part of the Tennesseans are instructed for him, and many declare hls election A foregone conclusion. If elected, it IS said. General A. J. West Will De elected in Evans present place.

Nearly 60 trains, bringing over 1200o ham yesterday. While the number of special trains did not equal Mondays numb er the trains were packed even more than the day before. The total number of extra trains was nine, while each train was exceptionally long.
 The scenes in both the Terminal and the Louisville and Nashville stations were very animated, a large and jolly crowd surging through them all day. Things began to get lively with the breaking of day and from then until late in the night excitement reigned supreme.
 One of the earliest to arrive was the South ern special bringing delegations from Virginia and Carolina. This train arrived about 7:30 running as the sec ond section of the regular Southern train arriving here from Washington at 6 o'clock. All other trains on the Southern were very heavy.
 The Louisville and Nashville ran four specials, one coming from Nashville as  from Montgomery-one as second sec tion of No. 2 and the other secend sec tion of Mo- 12-and a special over the Birmingham Mineral. Both regular and specials carried from nine to 15 coaches. It Is estimated that 5000 peo- ple came to Birmingham over this road yesterday.
 to ble the carrying capacity of all regu- lar trains on the Frisco while a special was also run. Each train over this road was packed to standing room.
 The Illinois Central also handled an extra train. each of their trains being very heavy.
 No specials were run over the Sea- board but the regular trains carried from 10 to 15 coaches
 The Alabama Great Southern ran two special trains from New Orleans, both trains arriving here yesterday morning. All of the trains were dou- ble their usual size on this road.
 The Central of Georgia also found it necessary to lengthen all of their regular trains.
 Practically all of the crowd arriving yesterday was made up of sponsors and other visitors, practically all of the veterans arriving Monday. Every now and then, however, group of them would appear, and immediately they re- ceived great ovation.
 Railroad officials are also counting on bringing great crowds In today and early tomorrow morning. In fact it = believed that the towns within six hours ride of Birmingham will send 15.OO0 more visitors to. take in the lasl day of the reunion.
