A savage kcIi&iOn-Threo Infants
Killed IA II camp Meeting.

The Rock Hill Herald Of the Doth
vouchcs for the truth of the following
statement On Sunday last three in
FAINT negro children were killed at the
negro camp meeting at Steele Hill, in
upper LANCASTER, by being stamped and
rolled upon by shouting women,
Strange to say, too, these tragic pro,
ccedings took place not under the ar
Dor where the main crowd was gathered,
but OLA little way in tents. Not two
deaths occurred in the Same tent either.
These circumstances throw around this
extraordinary occurrance horrible
suspicion of murder under the guise OF
religion, As far rs we have particulars
it appears that a number of women were
carried from the arbor to tents in very
excited state, and that after being
placed in the tents where the children
were, these tragic scenes were enacted.
Our latest information is that two of
the children were killed almost in,
stantly, while the third one is alive, but
with its back broken and many other
bodily injuries it is expected to die.
This place, Steele Hill, was the scene OF
some ugly rioting during camp-meet,
ing there one year ago, and we think it
Is now time for some legal proceedings
to he instituted against somebody.
