1t transpires. after investigation, that the

anticipated His individual loss was not

of the works, was located on the other side
of the railroad, and was not touched at all
wrong impression was calculated to be
conveyed from our article about the continue
ton of the work. Mr. Greenleaf continues
right along, without interruption, and viii
fill all his orders for turn tables for various
railroads. By the kindness of the man
agement of the Knoxville Iron Company,
MIR. Greenleaf has been granted the use of
their foundry, and will be enabled to re-
sumo the making of castings to-day.
The building which was burned was only
leased. 1t belonged to the Knoxville Car
Wheel Company, and the loss to them,
by the fire, was perhaps about %, 900.
Nothing definitely has been determined yet
as to rebuilding.
SOME OF MIR. GREENLKAF's OPERATIONS.
Perhaps there are very few who are aware
of the extent to which Mr.. Greenleaf has
been, in quiet and unassuming, but yet
in substantial way, pushing
this enterprise of manufacturing his
patent turn tables. He has been, and is
still, introducing them all over the United
States, and it is one of the most important
manufacturing enterprises in Knoxville.
1t is gratifying to know that it was not
more seriously affected by the fire.
The thirteen orders which Mr.. GreenIeaf
had on hands were not for our E. T., Va.
d Ga. Railroad, but are distributed as fol-
lows: One for the Baltimore & Ohio, to
be located at Staunton, Va; one for the
Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific, located al
Chicago; one for the Cincinnati, Hamil-
ton and Dayton, located at Day

Marion, Ohio; one at Huntingdon, Ind;
one for the Toledo, Cincinnati d st. Louis,
located at Delphus, Ohio; two for the

He has been kept busy ever since the
opening of his works here, filing orders.
But few months since he put in q splen-
did table for the E. T., Va. & Ga. Railroad
Company at this point. He has just fin
ished one for the same company, at Allan.
ia, Ga, and but few days ago he shipped
two to Winnipeg, Manitoba. Mr..
Greenleaf is highly pleased with Knoxville
as location for his works, and pronounces
it the most advantageous point that he car
find, both on account of the excellent quail
ty of iron to be found here for his use, tn,
best in the United States, and the facilities
