LA BELLE MARIE"
\ VERY Fine Presentation to a
Large AudienCe.

Perhaps no play Of similar character
could have drawn 4 larger audience in
Asheville than La Belle Marie" as pre-
Scnted by Miss Herndon and her COM
pany at the opera hall last night. Nearly
every reserved reat was taken and the
galleries were packed. The play itself
was all that had been claimed for it, and
the story of wrong and retribution was
well told in the lines, spoken with force
and verve by Miss Hcrudon i'll the title
role. Her admirable French was simply
perfect, while her costumes were unusu-
ally handsome and attractive. Her sup
port was very fine, and the stage settings
and effects lent much to the successful
rendition OF good play. Altogether
ia Belle Marie" is well worth seeing.
Nearly all of the Ashevillians attending
the Hickory Fair have returned to the
city.
Mr.. W. W. Avery has gone to Raleigh.

AN AERONAUT,s DEATH.
Descending In "a Parachute, He
Is Drowned In OtsexO Lake.

At the annual fair OF Otscgo county i'll
Cooperstown, New York a tragic accident
occurred The principal feature of the
day was balloon ascension to be made
by Edward Walsworth Of lion, an
amateur balloonist. About o'clock the
balloon was ready, and he entered with
out fear. He had a parachute with him,
and was to descend when up about Il
mile. Coopcrstown is on Otscgo Lake,
and as the wind was i'll the direction OF
the lake he was carried out some distance
from the shore.
When about mile up he descended
from the balloon with his parachute.
The wind carried him toward the middle
of the lake, and when he dropped he was
a mile and half from the shore, and
was drowned. Many spectators went
out in boats, but they were too late,
The ascension was the pretticst even
seen i'll Cooperstown, and the balloon
went up like charm. 1t is thought that
Walsworth did not see his danger when
he descended. His first ascension was i'll
Herkimer few weeks ago.

A "FAKE" MURDER CASE.

How . Coiored woman Fooled the Police
Of Washington Into Search for the
Perpetrator Of an Imaginary Crime.
WASHINGTON, Mag 2S.-The mysterious
murder case which has kept the police busy
for the past three days turns out TO be q
fraud. Mary Brogue, colored woman, re.
ported 10 the police Saturday that she had
seen the dead body OF her brother in q
neighborhood which she could not identity,
but In house which she thought she could
recognize. The police have been on wild
goose chase for three days. Yesterday they
arrested man named Moss who she said had
guided her 10 the house. She could not
Identify him.
II was then proved that the man that
Mary claimed as her brother was not her
brother and that he had not disappeared,
but was In Philadelphia. The police iaye
dropped the cnse.
