The new fish market, erected by order

this morning, George Kreiner, tho pioneer
fish dealer of this city, being the first to
occupy it. and having ON sale fine supply
of fresh fish of all seasonable varieties.
Mr.. Kreiner selected stall Mol as his place

The other fish dealers will no doubt soon
follow him to the new market, in which
there are, in all, ten stalls.
The market is separated from the other
markets by a partition Of yellow pine
surmounted by glass. The tables are built
of yellow pine, the tops being covered with
galvanized iron. The pavement is douby
cemented to prevent any Of the drippings
or ofial from sinking into 1t. Each stand
ia provided with hydrant, and in front
of each is an inlet to sewer leading
to the Grant street sewer, and thence to
the Water street sewer. At tho lower
end Of sthe market is fire plug with

Sharp was a native Of this county wa,
raised in Colerain township, where he
lived until some twenty five years ago,

rank in that state he soon rose TO dis.inc-
tion, and was prominent member Of the
Legislature, the Democratic candidate for
governor and has been a delegate to the
last three Democratic national conyen.
tions ; at the last he was q very active
friend of Gen. Hancock.
He was firm friend of Huntington, the
great railroad man Of the West, and two
years ago was in Washington with him,
helping to lobby soino important bills
through Congress, and while there paid a
visit (the first since he lef) to his friends
in this county.
He was some 81 years old and very
much resembled Henry Clay Dean in his
manner.
He was prominent member Of the Odd
Fellows and has filed all the chairs in the
grand lodge Of Kansas, and has beer
grand secretary for the last few years.
At the time Of his death he was filling
some position in tho agricultural depart
ment in Kansas.
