John E. HEVENER, contractor and builder, of 2534 North Nineteenth street, Philadelphia, who was found in the unoccupied dwelling 3517 North Nineteenth street unconscious from illuminating gas last Thursday, died Tuesday morning in the Samaritan Hospital. He recovered consciousness Monday, and that evening talked with his family in a hopeful way. Shortly after daybreak Tuesday morning he was seized with convulsions and died at 6 o'clock. Mr. HEVENER was born in Upper Hanover township and was a son of the late Peter HEVENER, of Red Hill. He brought his age to 49 years, 11 months and 11 days. He learned the trade of a carpenter and followed that occupation in Upper Hanover and the boroughs of Pennsburg and East Greenville for a number of years. About twenty-five years ago he moved with his family from East Greenville to Philadelphia, where he carried on the carpenter business, and later became known as a contractor and builder. Mr. HEVENER was a member of the Pennsburg Lodge, No. 449, I.O.O.F.; Greenville Lodge, No. 232, K. of P.; Oakdale Castle, No. 224, K.G.E.; Lehigh Lodge, No. 227, A.O.U.W., and Grand Assembly, No. 6, A.O.M.P. He is survived by his widow Amanda, daughter of the late Jesse ROEDER, of East Greenville, and the following children: Sallie, wife of Edwin DELP, of Philadelphia; Lizzie, Laura and Alice, all residing at home. Three children preceded him in death. The following sisters and brother also survive: Hannah, wife of H.J. SMITH, Esq.; Lizzie, wife of James BOBB, and George E. HEVENER, all of this borough. The funeral services were held at his late home last evening. The remains will arrive in this borough this morning at 11 o'clock, where the services will be continued in the St. Mark's Evangelical Lutheran church. Interment will be made on the Pennsburg cemetery.
John E. HEVENER, of 2534 North 19th street, Philadelphia, a former resident of East Greenville, was found in an unconscious condition in a bath room at 3517 North 19th street, on Thursday morning of last week. The suppositian at first was that he attempted suicide, as the gas was turned on and he was almost asphyxiated, but later developments showed that Mr. HEVENER was stricken by vertigo after he had turned on the gas and before he was able to light it. Had Mr. HEVENER not fallen so near the space between the door and the floor and thereby received air from the outside, he would have been completely asphyxiated. Mr. HEVENER recently received the contract to build 120 houses and during Wednesday he was showing the plans to different sub-contractors at his office in the unoccupied house, in which he was found. In the evening he was engaged at work on these plans and the supposition is that he went to the bath room and there met with the misfortune. When Mr. HEVENER did not return to his home his family became alarmed, but not knowing where to look for him did not venture out. Early Thursday morning Frank WILLIAMS, the builder from whom Mr. HEVENER contracted the houses, came to the office. Finding the place open and no one about, he searched the rooms and when he opened the bathroom, he found Mr. HEVENER in an unconscious condition and the illuminating gas escaping. An ambulance was hurriedly summoned in which he was taken to the Samaritan Hospital and his family notified. He remained in an unconscious condition until Saturday morning, when he became semi-conscious and by Sunday morning he became rational and conversed with family. On Monday evening he began to grow worse, at about eleven o'clock his condition became alarming and by six o'clock Tuesday morning he died. The coroner held an inquest and returned a verdict to the effect that his death was due to Uraemia and asphyxiation by illuninating gas. Mr. HEVENER had been a severe sufferer from stomach troubles for the last ten years and on different occasions had spells which rendered him unconscious for short periods, and the coroner's jury came to the conclusion that he had a similar attack on the night in question, as there was not the least point brought out in the inquest to intimate that he might have attempted suicide.
An unusual festival, the fiftieth wedding anniversary, was celebrated at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Daniel REITER (pictures), of near Hoppenville, on Saturday. A feature of this rare occasion was the fact that the celebration occurred in the same house where they started housekeeping fifty years ago. Daniel REITER was married to Miss Edith WEIDNER on February 14, 1853. For fifty years they lived on the Reiter homestead, in Upper Hanover township, known as Reiter's mill, near Hoppenville. They have four children, Ida, Emma, Oswin and Henry, and thirteen grandchildren. Mr. REITER is 74 years of age and his wife 73 years old. The families of which Mr. and Mrs. REITER are members of are both large families. Mr. REITER is the last of a family of fourteen and Mrs. REITER is the oldest of a family of eight. Both have attained ages older than any of their parents or kin. Both Mr. REITER and his wife are quite active and number hosts of friends. Mr. REITER has been a miller by occupation since his boyhood days. The aged couple enjoyed the anniversary and they were the recipients of many costly presents. A splendid collation was spread before the guests and when the dining room was opened the aged couple were placed at the head of the table. Rev. Henry REITER, of Quakertown, then made a brief address. After all had satisfied the inner man, the rest of the afternoon was spent in a social manner. All the children and grandchildren were present. Those in attendance were: Rev. and Mrs. D.H. REITER and sons, Freddie, Daniel and Earnest, of Quakertown; Mrs. A.H.

The Board of Pardons was on Wednesday asked to completely pardon Samuel GREASAN, of Berks county, under sentence of death for the murder of John EDWARDS, the Stouchsburg quarryman.

DEEM was the jail barber, having served a sentence for larceny, and he and Mrs. EDWARDS were the chief witnesses against GREASON. Depositions of the new witnesses have been taken. Two of them shared Mrs. EDWARDS' cell. They state that the condemned woman told them that GREASON is innocent of her husband's murder; that he was not at their house on the night of the crime, but that he had sworn so severely against her that she testified against him to defend herself. The board continued the case with several others until March.
