STEWARD'S DEATH AT SEA. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Auckland, Last Night. Two - days after the departure of the Niagara from Honolulu on her last voyage to Vancouver the death of a steward occurred under circvnstances which caused a general feeling of regret throughout the ship. This young man, William Bond, had charge of the library and was highly esteemed for his courtesy by all the passengers who mado use of the ship's stock of books. He suddenly manifested symptoms of dementia, but not of a violent nature, and he was isolated, and placed under the care of two attendants. Taking advantage of a brief absence of his custodians he locked the door of the cabin and jumped out of the port window. A lifebuoy was at once thrown to him, and the steamer circled around the scene, but the poor fellow must have Aisfappeared almost immediately.
