Daly's Cafe

This building became a bar sometime after 1891. In the 1880s the building was the home of Joseph and Mary B. Wills. By 1887 Mary was a widow. Her son Richard A. Wills operated a plumbing supply house at 213 Market Street in the late 1880s. Mary B. Wills remarried a bricklayer named Kellum by 1890. In that year it appears that the first floor was rented to a druggist named Wendell Wingender.

By 1903 the building at 800 Linden Street had become a bar. James P. Daly was the proprietor until his passing on August 26, 1922 at the age of 49. The bar remained in the family, run by James J. Daly, who lived across the street at 728 Linden Street, until at least 1947, during which time it was known as Daly’s Cafe.

By 1952 the bar was known as the Linden Grill, and was still in operation as late as 1959. By 1966 it was gone. The building is no longer standing.

Three From Shore Also Assessed by Judge Avis for Rum Possession

ALL 5 PLEAD GUILTY

Two Camden men were among a group of five liquor law violators to pay fines yesterday in U.S. District Court before Judge John Boyd Avis after pleading guilty to charges of possession.

Frank Tischner, 40, of 1244 Cambridge Street, arrested by prohibition men on charges of possession of liquor and maintaining a nuisance paid a fine of $1 and drew a five-day sentence in the county jail.

A man who identified himself as George Grob, Jr., of 800 Linden Street, was fined $75 on charges of possession of high-power beer. When arrested Grob said he was James J. Daly, of the same address. According to Assistant U.S. Attorney Isador Worth, an indictment returned against Daly showed that Grob used his name when arrested by federal men.

Alcohol Control Board Issues Order After Horse Race Sheets Are Found

Joseph Manfredini, saloon operator of 306 Federal Street, must close the doors of his place for the next fifteen days by order of the Municipal Alcoholic Beverage Control.

The decree was issued last night after a hearing on charges made by state ABC agents.

Agents charged they raided Manfredini’s place January 10 and discovered a box containing $23 and two horse race sheets.

In placing the ban on the saloon, John J. Morrissey, chairman, declared the board also considered a conviction against the saloon operator last year, when he was fined $200 on charges of violating a section of a city ordinance.

James J. Daly, of 800 Linden Street, charged by state agents with having a bottle of liquor in his bar-room which did not comply with contents noted on the label, was dismissed and placed on probation for the remainder of the current license year.

Daly, who has been in the saloon business here for 33 years, said the contents of the bottle in question was for his own personal use and had been diluted because he was unable to drink liquor of high alcoholic proof.
