Melford W. Howard, former congressman from the Eighth Alabama congressional district and a member of the Higsen party, was taken ill at the Hotel Baltimore yesterday afternoon. It is probable that he will be unable to fill a St. Joseph speaking engagement Monday night. Dr. J. R. Snell, house physician at the hotel, was called into consultation at 5 o'clock. Dr. Snell said that Mr. Howard had a very high fever which might not be reduced in less than twenty-four hours.
