                        AMENDMENT NO. 15 TO SCHEDULE 13D
                         RELATING TO THE COMMON STOCK OF
                           JOHNS MANVILLE CORPORATION

         This Amendment No. 15 (this "Amendment") filed by the Manville Personal
Injury Settlement Trust, a New York trust (the "Trust"), Robert A. Falise (a
Trustee of the Trust), Louis Klein, Jr. (a Trustee of the Trust), Frank J.
Macchiarola (a Trustee of the Trust) and Christian E. Markey, Jr. (a Trustee of
the Trust, and together with Messrs. Falise, Klein and Macchiarola, the
"Trustees"), amends and supplements the Statement on Schedule 13D relating to
the Trust's ownership of shares of Common Stock, par value $.01 per share (the
"Common Stock"), of Johns Manville Corporation (formerly known as Schuller
Corporation), a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission on December 8, 1988 by the Trust and its former trustees
and the previous amendments and supplements thereto (as previously amended and
supplemented, the "Schedule 13D"). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein
shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D.


Item 2.  Identity and Background
         -----------------------

         (b) The address of the Trust is 143 Bedford Road, Katonah, New York
10536.


Item 4.  Purpose of the Transaction.
         --------------------------

         Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby further amended and supplemented
as follows:

         On April 20, 1999, the Trust and the Company issued a joint press
release announcing that discussions between their financial advisors and
potentially interested parties did not result in an acceptable offer for sale or
merger of the Company. The Company and the Trust also announced that they are
continuing to explore other options to maximize shareholder value. The Trust and
the Company further announced that these options include a secondary public
offering by the Trust of a portion of its Common Stock.

         The Trust periodically evaluates its investment in the Company in light
of, among other things the Company's performance, the Trust's purposes and cash
needs, and market conditions and may determine to sell from time to time some or
all of the shares of Common Stock which the Trust presently holds through open
market sales, registered offerings of securities, privately negotiated
transactions or otherwise.

Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

         Items 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as
follows:

         The 124,927,110 shares of Common Stock reported represent approximately
78.4% of the 159,305,779 shares of Common Stock outstanding on February 22,
1999, as reported in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1998.

Item 6.  Contracts, Arrangements, Undertakings or Relationships with Respect to
         Securities of the Issuer.

         Item 6 of the Schedule 13D is hereby further amended and supplemented
by incorporating the response contained in Item 4 of this Amendment.
