Jacksonville. Fla. March 5.-Mrs. Susan
Fatio l. Engle died this morning at $50
O'Clock. at the residence or her daughter.
Mrs. Mary Fleming. after an illness Of
several weeks.
She was the daughter Of Capt. and Mrs.

the British army. and she was born Sept.
a. 1906 at New Switzerland. near what is
now known as Remington Park In 1872 the

band Of marauding Indians. sought re-
fuge at ST. Marys. Ga There they re
manned until their home was destroyed
by a hurricane. when they went TO Fer
nandina Here the family was again de-
stined to meet with Il fortune. for I'm
ISIS Fernandiua was invaded by the car
thagenians. (ptrates). whose war Is famous
in history. They were forced from home
again and went to their plantation. near
San Pablo. on the St. Johns river. where
a large part Of Mrs. l. Engle's girlhood was
spent In 1921 the family returned TO
Switzerland, where Miss Susan remained
until she was married in 1880 TO John
l. Engfe, THEN lieutenant. hut afterwards
captain OF the Third United States arts-
lery. With her husband she moved to
Charleston where her husband was
stationed There they remained

her in good stead. She wrote many
poems during her life A little book,

moments, and her anecdotes OF her early
life were unusually entertaining.

FREEZING or THE coNvIcTs.
Commissioners Dale and Chaplin
ReuUrG

Andrew Washington. a convict whose
term expired yesterday and who was one
of the negroes frost-bitten during the cold
weather in December, was sent. upon the
expiration of his sentence, TO the Georgia
lnfirmary by Chairman Dale Of the county
commissioners, for further treatment
In this connection the following minor
ity report, submitted by Commissioners
Dale and Chaplin at the last meeting of
the board of county commissioners, in re-
gard TO the suffering and injury sustained
by the coEvicts during the December
freeze, is not out of place:
BY the above testimony II is clearly
proven that twenty or more of our con-
victs are suffering serious personal injury
through the neglect or carelessness of
some agent or employee of this county.
Before proceeding to digest the evidence
given, we should ascertain whose duty
it was to take care of and protect these
wards of the county. The office of county
engineer was created in 1892, and Maj.
Blandford was selected for that position
with well defined duties, viz: ITO direct
and supervise all public work, to have
charge of all convicts and the control of
guards and other employees of this depart
ment." The evidence given before the
board as to the responsibility for this
cruelty is very conflicting in its character
but the preponderence thereof and the
most direct, goes to show that Chief
Hughes of camp No. ! was ordered by
the county engineer TO slush out the old
Casey canal on Dec. Is. that the guards,
in charge of these convicts had no dis
cretionary power in selecting the kind
Of work to operate on in severe or incle-
ment weather; that the county engineer
visited the work at camp No. / on the
2Sth of December, 1894, and did not change
or modify his imperative orders previously
given; that the complaints made TO him
in person regarding short rations were not
investigated or corrected: that he did not
know, although responsible therefor, that
the convicts were without shoes at times.
The pay rolls subject to the discretion
and approval OF the county engineer
amounting to 81 .095 per month, or $4,000
per annum. consisting of salaries for his
clerk. levelman, rodman yardmasters,
quartermasters, chiefs and guards team
sters and night watchmen, all appointed
and selected by himself, show that he had
an ample corps Of employees to meet any
emergency, and to have anticipated and
guarded against any undue hardships on
our convcts.
Therefore in view of this ample author
ity vested In the said county engineer for
the proper and humane treatment of the
prisoners subject to the jurisdiction of
this court, we find that the county engi-
neer not only did not give discretionary
power to his subordinates for working the
convicts properly during the late ex-
IRENE cold spell. but that he was present
at their camp No ] and saw them sub
jected TO these unnecessary hardships with
out protest or abatement, and the re-
sponsibiity for said personal injuries
should and does legally rest on the said
county engineer.
