JITNEY SERVICE TO VIEWPOINT IS
 BROUGHT TO END
Commuters Perturbed Over Discontinuance of Conven-
 ient Transportation.
Especial to The Farmer)


 Newtown, Aug 19.-Newtown resi- dents are somewhat alarmed over the prospects of irregular transportation between Newtown and Bridgeport caused by the dissolution of the New town Bus & Jitney Co.. heretofore op- erated by Lawrence Taylor of New town and Clark Blackman of Haw- leyville.
 Rumors of serious difference be- tween the partners that would lead to dissolution of the partnership have been rife in Newtown for some days. It was not until service was discon- tinued on Thursday that alarm was felt over the situation.
 About five cars were utilized in the service, which was conducted on sched- ule time. There whereabouts of these cars is now somewhat shaded in mys- tery though two are known to have been returned to the Elm Auto Co. of Bridgeport from whom they were purchased but not fully paid for ac- cording to the owners. The company had been in operation since last spring.
 The differences between the former partners are said to have been so great that threats of suit have been made and there Is little likelihood that the service will be re-established under the Joint ownership. At the present time in addition to the poor train service residents of Newtown have to rely up on jitney drivers from Bridgeport at- tracted to the field left open by the retirement of the Newtown company

 Motor. Truck From
 Manslaughter Charge

Upon the coroner's finding that Ja- cob Levin of 37S Pequononck street was not responsible for the death of seven year old Silla Goldstein of 71s Madison avenue on the night of Au- gust 8, the charge of manslaughter against him was nolled in the city court today. He was out on bonds of g, 2,500 furnished by his wife.
 Levin had left large motor truck standing in front of the girls home and while he was absent from the ma chine. some boys tempered with it, releasing the brakes and causing 1t to back and crush the little girl Be- cause of conflicting testimony of the witnesses, some of whom alleged that Levin was operating the truck at the time. he was arrested on the criminal charge.

densely populated parish, while Fr. Heating will assume charge of St. Mary'R
 Wrapped about the foundation and rise of St. Mary's church is a great wealth of local church history, 1t be- ing the parent church of that section. Its establishment dates back to 1854 when. as out-mission to St. James parish, now St. Augustine's. wooden structure was built at Crescent ave- nue and Church street, now the site of Sts. Cyril Methodius church. Tho first missionaries were Rev. M. O'Neil. Rev. P. Lamb and pr. Wallace. The first priest was Rev. Peter A. Smith. which was installed in 1857 and who later built tho parsonage. Fr. Smith continued as pastor until February 10. 1864. afterwards dying in a Norwalk parish. He. was succeeded by Rev. Francis J. Linehan, who remained pastor until November 1. 1866, when transferred to Woonsocket. R. I.,where he died. He was followed by Rev. Richard O'Gorman and Rev, Thomas Dia. who died on July 2s, 1873. These were all in the, original church.
 At this time Rev. John F. Rogers was transferred from Newtown, and commenced his pastorate in the new church, the corner stone of which was laid May 1e, 1875. The church was dedicated October 14. 1877, by the late Bishop Galbury. The old edif1ce was first turned into a parish school and later sold to St. Micnaefs Polish R. C. church. the present land for St. Paurs being released to St. Mary's church in the deal.
 Fr. Rogers was the first to intro- duce the Sisters of Mercy in Bridge port and with the assistance of Rev. William H. Lynch. who came from Waterbury as first assistant pastor at St. Mary's, the convent was built at Sherman and Pembroke streets in 1899. Tn 1901 the parochiai school was erected.
 St. Mary's church is of the Roman esque style of architecture, the base ment being constructed of stone with brick superstructure. It has "A foot frontage on Pembroke street with 154 feet depth on Steuben. A spire 1s7 feet in height surmounts 1t which may be seen from all sectio~s of the city. An altar S5 feet in height Is one of the fine features of the interior.
 St. Charles parsh. which is to ab- sorb part of the older parish, was set off from St Mary's about 12 years ago to take care of the growth above the railroad tracks. It has progressed rapidly.

be increased.
 Inquiry in this city today, though plans are. officially guarded in official Catholic circles. tends to confirm the projects outlined in Hartford. Contributions have already been so- licited for what was to have been ! known as a mission chapel attached to St. IMary's church. This branch of the church as planned is to rest at Connecticut avenue and Sixth street upon, land acquired by St. | Mary's parish from the Polish Catho- lies at the time of Rev. Witold A. Becker. deceased pastor of St: Michael's Polish church. That the plans for mission church will be changed to a much larger edifice seems certain from the rapid growth of the East side, due to the location of the big ammuni- tion factories in that section. The foreign born population of the East side has increased materially within the past few years, while in | that section supplied by St. Mary's church the original families have re- moved in large numbers. In con- sequence. St. Mary's church, built to accommodate nearly 1000 persons. has not been overcrowded.
 Correspondingly, St. Charles parish is said to have grown beyond nor- mai bounds during the past year. Un- der the pastorship of Rev. Patrick J. McGivney and his assistants. Revs. J. V. Hussion and Thomas B. Gloster, the number of masses have been in- creased to from four to six on Sum days.
 It is learned tha, the building of Remington city, and the failure to open Ogden street across Pembroke lake brook has had a tendency to centralize large proportion of par ishioners in a section somewhat re- moved from St. Mary's or St. Charles parishes. Indications are, therefore, clearly established in the minds of all interested persons that provision for worship and probably parochial schools must be made in that section east of Pembroke la,.e and north of the railroad. It is likely that the new church mentioned in dispatches as The Church of the Immaculate Conception" will be located somewhat to the east of Bridgeport hospital.
 While the passing of the big edifice now the seat of St. Mary's parish from the worship of the older East Bridgeport families to the new com CTS will inspire fond remembrances of its historical import in this city, it is generally realized today that its scope will be greatly widened, as well as that of it's pastor, Rev. John F. Murphy, who has ministereo co the parish for over a decade.
 It is likely that Fr. Murphy will be assigned to the newer and more
