Many friends will be pleased to hear from
Mr. Pulaski Leeds, formerly of this city.
Mr.. Leeds was an engineer on the Consolida-
ted road, having learned his trade under Mr.
Kittendorf, and subsequently was master me-
chanic of the Air Line railroad under Messrs
Hammond and Franklin. He then went
West with Manager Hammond and built the
shops of the Indianapolis, Decatur and
Springfield railroad, and became superin-
tendent of the motive power for that COM
pany, making fine success of it. The In
dianapolis, Bloomington. and Western rail
road having purchased the I. D. and s. rail-
road and assumed the management, Mr..
Leeds was asked to remain but has accepted
an engagement as master mechanic of the
Louisville and Nashville railroad the Penn
sylvania road of that section. The Indian
apolis Times of Feb. ID says:
ssMr. P, Leeds, master mechanic of the
late I. D. and S. road, has rendered his resig-
nation to the new management, and will at
once accept a similar position with the Louis
vile and Nashville road. A number of his
late co-laborers, learning that he was soon to
remove to another city, yesterday got to-
gether and prepared slight surprise for
chased, and, on the pretext that there was
some trouble among the men, Mr.. Leeds was
decoyed to the shops across the river When
he arrived there he found all his late fellow
| workmen assembled. and, before he could
say anything, one of their number stepped
forward and, in a neat little speech,
presented him with the timepiece, as a
slight testimonial of their high regard for
him. He was so completely upset by this
| sudden manifestation of good will that it
| was all he could do to express thanks for the
beautiful present, and say to the boys that
he should never forget them. Following the
presentation an informal reunion followed,
and it was some hours before the assembly
adjourned. Mr.. Leeds is recognized every
where as one of the best master mechanics in
the country, and during his connection-with
| the l., D. and S. shops has made many warm
| friends He is the designer of the T., D. AND
S. shops, which are looked upon by those
! holding similar positions to Mr.. Leeds as
| models of convenience, land by far the best ar,
| ranged of any in the West. In assuming his
| new position, Mr.. Leeds will take with him
the best wishes of a large circle of friends in
this CITY,"
