In 1918, Oliver Evans predicted:


lst. That the time would come when
people would travel in stages moved by
steam engines from one city to another,
almost as fast as birds fly, Is or 90
miles an hour:


2. A carriage will set out in the morn
ing from Washington, the passengers
will break fast at Baltimore, dine at Phil
adephia, and sup at New York the same
day.


To accomplish these, two seus Of rail
ways will be laid, travelled by night as
well as by day, and the passengers will
sleep in these stages as comfortably as
they now do in steamboats,.


3. A steam engine, consuming from a
quarter 10 half cord of wood, will drive
carriage 180 miles in twelve hours,
with twenty or thirty passengers, and
will consume but six gallons Of water

4. Steam engines win drive boats 1C
or 12 miles an hour, and there will be
s.many as 100 steam boats on the Mis-
sissippi and other western waters, as
prophecied SO years ago.
