MIR. EU1HERFORD BETTER.
He IL Recovering From the Same Disease
That Caused DR.. Auuew's Death.

Mr.. Winthrop Rutherford, who is well
known in society as member of the Meadow
beach Hunt. was reported by DR.. Sands last
night to be out Of danger. He has been suf-
fering from an abscess Of the peritoneum such
as caused the death yesterday Of DR.. Agnew.
Mr.. Rutherford called upon Dr. Agnew when
he became ill. and Mr. Rutherford's prostra-
ton from the same disease gave rise to a
rumor that the ament was contagious.
DIR. Henry B. Sands. who operated on Mr..
Rutherford and who has had several cases of a
similar nature, said yesterday that the COM
plant Is neither contagious nor due to atmos-
pheric conditions. He recently published the
report OF an interesting case OF recovery after
laparotomy had been performed for septic

North Carolina, and he entirely recovered. The
