  We perform a multi-wavelength study of a two-ribbon flare on 2002 September
29 and its associated filament eruption, observed simultaneously in the H-alpha
line by a ground-based imaging spectrograph and in hard X-rays by RHESSI. The
flare ribbons contain several H-alpha bright kernels that show different
evolutional behaviors. In particular, we find two kernels that may be the
footpoints of a loop. A single hard X-ray source appears to cover these two
kernels and to move across the magnetic neutral line. We explain this as a
result of the merging of two footpoint sources that show gradually asymmetric
emission owing to an asymmetric magnetic topology of the newly reconnected
loops. In one of the H-alpha kernels, we detect a continuum enhancement at the
visible wavelength. By checking its spatial and temporal relationship with the
hard X-ray emission, we ascribe it as being caused by electron beam
precipitation. In addition, we derive the line-of-sight velocity of the
filament plasma based on the Doppler shift of the filament-caused absorption in
the H-alpha blue wing. The filament shows rapid acceleration during the
impulsive phase. These observational features are in principal consistent with
the general scenario of the canonical two-ribbon flare model.
