[A fund is being raised in aid of the widow of the fireman
SPRAGUE, who met his death gallantly in the late explosion in
the Strand. "SPRAGUE was a young man, under 30 years of age,
of good character and promise. His widow has one child, and
is soon again to become a mother."--_Times._ Any subscriptions
forwarded to Mr. W. O. READER, Vestry Clerk, 151, Strand,
towards the relief fund, will be thankfully received and
acknowledged.]
