Geo. l.. Maltz has some intention
of erecting gallery in his Opera
House. The seats in front of the gal
lery are to be raised, and consider
able other changes made to the in
side so as to improve the acoustic pro-
perties. If the improvements con-
templated are made, the Opera House
will seat about 1000 persons, and the
voices of the actors on the stage can
be heard plainly and distinctly in all
parts of the house. Seats are to be
arranged somewhat similar to those
in large cities, with .parquette, dress
circle, etc.

Muskegon would like to see the
Big Rapids branch of the Chicago
g. West Michigan railroad extend
ed from this city to Alpena, and
the papers of that city are indulging
in strong argument to show that the
extension would be a good thing for
Big Rapids as we'll as for Muskegon.
The Chronicle thinks that if Muske-
gon, Big Rapids and Alpena should
unite in a proper interest in the pro-
ject, the officials of the road would
respond in the proper spirit, and put
the line through. We think Big
Rapids stands ready to do her share
in the extending of the road as sug-
gested, and we feel safe in saying that
if Muskegon will take a lively and
substantial interest in the matter, the
other towns may be safely counted on
for all that might be reasonably ex-
pected of them. Big Rapids would
certainly be greatly benefited through
the extension Of this line.-Big Rapids

GERONIMO,
OFFICIALLY CONFIRMED.
Geronimo May be Tried by Court Marital and
Possibly Hanged.

The following telegram confirming the
press dispatches, has been received at the
war department from Gen. 0. o. How
ard:
FORT MASON, SAN Francisco, Sept: T.
To Adjutant United States Army, Wash
ington-Gen. Miles has returned to Fort
Bowie with Natchez, the son of Cochise,
Geronimo, and his brother with three
other Apaches, all as prisoners of war.
Surrender unconditional. Capt: Lawton
Is following with remainder Of hostiles,
tbrty-six adults and three children In all.
General satisfaction was expressed at
the war department upon receipt OF the
news of Geronimo's surrender. Great
praise Is bestowed upon Gen. Miles for the
excellent conduct Of the campaign. Gen:
that the results of Gen. Crooks campaign
were of great value to Gen. Miles, and the
latter has substantially followed the plan
outlined by his predecessor. With in
creased force IL has been possible to guard
every water hole and effectually defeat
any attempt of the hostiles to return to
their reservation.
Gen. Drum, acting secretary of war,
was in good spirits after the receipt OF the
official Dispatch confirming the press re-
ports of the surrender. He said that this
was the end of war running with brief
intermssions through Is years, and Gen.
Miles deserved credit for his vigorous
work. Capt. Lawton had also distinguish
co himself as a gallant Olucer, anu us puI-
suit OF the hostiles under adverse condi-
tions and hardships was thoroughly COM
mendable. The acting secretary was not
prepared to say what disposition would
be made of the captives. but certainly he
said. nothing would be done in this mat
ter until the presidents wishes are known.
The original dispatch had been promptly
transmitted to the Adirondacks for the
information of the president, and until he
had been heard from the Indians would be
held In confinement at Fort Bowie, Ariz.
Other officers OF the department we're
especially gratified at learning that Ger
onimos surrender was unconditional.
The opinion prevails in some quarters
that the Indians will be transferred to the
custody of the interior department for
time and that Geronimo and his lieuten-
ants will intimately be surrendered TO the
civil authorities of Arizona and put upon
trial for murder with result that would
require little effort to guess.
An officer of high rank, however, inclines
to the belief that the president will never
consent to surrender Geronimo to the
civil authorities, but will order his trial
by court martial IL it should be regarded
proper TO try him at all. The same officer
said that the successful ending of the cam
paign would be of inestimable value to
the territory Of Arizona, as the hostiles'
had so ravaged and harried an area of
rich country 200 miles square as to render
IL uninhabitable.

Shower ofStones.

Another earthquake shock in Charleston
the other night caused great alarm on &C
count Of the shattered condition of the
nerves OF the, people. Those persons who
had ventured back under their roofs hur-
ried into the streets, which presented for
few minutes rs tragical an appearance
as on Tuesday night. But little actual
harm was done by the shock. Two un-
tenanted houses are reported to have fall.
ed, together with a part of the coping OF
the Charleston hotel. The vibration dur
Ing the shock was not especially great but
the moaning and bowling sound was suf-
fciently alarming. Gradually the people
had come to the conviction that the shocks
were at an end and the disappointment
was agonizing. The sensation OF the day
Is the falling. Of showers of pebbles in the
lower part OF the city. The first fall was
OF O'Clock In the morning and the second
at about IL O'Clock. They appeared to
fall in slanting direction from south 70
north. There are morsels of flint among
them and all are plainly abraded and worn
by the action of the water. Some few
have sharp fractures and have evidently
been recently broken. The fact of the
fall Ia vouched for by several Trustworthy
persons.

Caught by Uncle Sam.

William Waite Warner of jackson has
been arrested for using the mails for
fraudulent purposes. He l. man about
50 years of age and has resided there a
number of years. He has a small printing
office and printed paper called the Jack
son Daily Neos. His mode of procedure
was to print glazing recommendations of
railroads and send copies to the managers
with requests for passes, claiming a circu-
lation OF $1,000 to 10000. He also sent let
ters to different business throughout the
country requesting goods in exchange for
advertising. He received a great many
articles in this way. The paper only cir
culated to the few business men from
whom the goods and advertisements were
solicited. He was arrested there several
years ago on the charge of obtaining
goods on false pretenses, but the case was
dropped. The postotfice department.,
thinking every thing was not right, sent a
special Inspector to investigate the mat
ter. and after some time spent in securing
evidence a complaint was made. and
United States Commissioner Dodge of
Lansing, issued warrant for her arrest.

Tho Situation in Charleston.

The relief committees in Charleston are
hard at work. Additional tents have been
placed in the public squares, and for the
colored people comfortable wooden shell
tiers have been erected on Marion square
There is accommodation for l,5C0 colored
refugees. The subsistence committee will
meet regularly and supply provisions to
all who are needy and unable to support
themselves. There is still n strong disposi-
ton to remove the women and children
from the city to spare them further danger
and anxiety. The South Carolina, the
Savannah & Charleston, and the Richmond
& Danvile railroads are giving free trans
portation to white and colored people.
Many passes are for families of four or
Eve. The main objective points are in up
per and middle South Carolina. In Column
bia ample quarters have been provided for
all refugees, and offers Of shelter are CON-
ing from many points. The city Is per-
fectly quiet, and the work Of clearing up
and repairing has begun.
All danger from shocks Is not yet passed,
as is evident by the continual falling OF
walls which have hitherto been considered
perfectly safe.
