ALBERT A. HUDSON.
Death of an Old and Respected Citizen at His Home in Warren Street.
At 4 o'clock yesterday morning Albert A. Hudson, an old and respected citizen of Syracuse, died at his family home, No. 91 Warren street. For may years Mr. Hudson has been in poor health, his illness being caused by meningitic trouble. Born in Worcester, Mass., in 1810, he came to this city when 17 years old and engaged in the hardware business, in which he continued for nieteen years until failing health compelled him to retire. Since that time Mr. Hudson has lived a domestic life, and though a strong Republican of the old school, he has never been publicly identified with the politics of the city. He was one of the charter trustees of the First Presbyterian church and a member of the church at the time of his death. Mr. Hudson's family consists of two sons, Charles A. and Edmund A., and one daughter, Mrs. W. K. Hood, his wife having died five years ago.
Mr. Hudson was joint owner with William Malcom of the building in which the famous powder explosion of August 20, 1841, occurred. It was a common thing in those days to store powder away, and Mr. Hudson and his partner had put 150 pounds in twenty five kegs in the loft of an unoccupied carpenter shop near the site of the Empire House. The powder had been stored there two or three months, and the fire was undoubtedly of incendiary origin. When it broke out Mr. Hudson arose from his bed, to which he had been confined four weeks by illness, and ran to the scene. He tried to shout that there was powder in the building, but his voice was so weak that he could not make himself heard. He got a brawny blacksmith to yell for him but before the crowd dispersed, the explosion occurred killing 26 persons. The catastrophe caused him such grief that his whole after life was embittered. He cared for the injured as far as possible, and he and his partner Mr. Malcom, made financial reparation in a large number of cases.
