PROXY STATEMENT

FOR ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS TO BE HELD MAY 9, 1995

GENERAL

This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation by
and on behalf of the Board of Directors of Pennsylvania Enterprises, Inc., (the
"Company") of proxies to be used at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders of the
Company and any adjournment or adjournments thereof to be held at the F.M. Kirby
Center for the Performing Arts, Public Square, Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, on
Tuesday, May 9, 1995, at 10:00 a.m., for the purposes set forth in the
accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders. The Board of Directors
has fixed the close of business on March 22, 1995, as the record date for the
determination of shareholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the meeting.

Pennsylvania law provides that a proxy, unless coupled with an interest
(for example, a vote pooling or similar arrangement among shareholders; certain
agreements among shareholders, or among or between the Company and one or more
shareholders, regarding the voting of their shares; or an unrevoked proxy in
favor of an existing or potential creditor of a shareholder), is revocable at
will by a shareholder, notwithstanding any other agreement or any provision in
the proxy to the contrary. A shareholder may revoke a proxy by giving written
notice of revocation to the Secretary of the Company at any time before the
proxy is voted. Such revocation shall be effective upon receipt of the written
notice by the Secretary of the Company.

COMMON STOCK OUTSTANDING

Common Stock, of which there were 5,668,003 shares outstanding and entitled
to vote on March 22, 1995, constitutes the only class of securities of the
Company entitled to vote at the meeting. The Company does not know of any person
who is the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the outstanding Common Stock of
the Company. Each shareholder shall be entitled to one vote for each share of
Common Stock registered in his or her name on the books of the Company.

ANNUAL REPORT

A copy of the annual report of the Company for the year 1994 is being
mailed to shareholders with this proxy statement.

MATTERS TO BE BROUGHT BEFORE THE MEETING

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

At the meeting, eight directors are to be elected to hold office for the
term of one year and until their successors have been elected and qualified.
Unless a contrary indication is specified, it is the intention of the persons
named as proxies to vote the shares represented by the proxy for the election of
the nominees listed herein as directors of the Company. Each of the nominees for
election as a director was elected as a director of the Company at the 1994
Annual Meeting of Shareholders. In the event that any of the nominees should
become unavailable for any reason, which is not anticipated, the Board of
Directors, in its discretion, may, unless it shall have provided for a lesser
number of directors, designate a substitute nominee, in which event, pursuant to
the accompanying proxy, votes will be cast for such substitute nominee.

PROPOSAL TO APPROVE 1995 DIRECTORS' STOCK COMPENSATION PLAN

This year, in addition to the election of eight directors, you are being
asked to approve the Company's 1995 Directors' Stock Compensation Plan. The
Board of Directors voted to approve the Plan because it believes that it will
advance the interests of the Company and its shareholders by providing an
additional means to attract and retain persons of exceptional ability to serve
as directors of the Company, by providing an additional incentive to such
persons for superior performance, and by more closely aligning their interests
with those of other shareholders.

NOMINEES FOR ELECTION AS DIRECTORS

The following information is furnished with respect to each person
nominated by the Board of Directors for election as a director: principal
occupations or employment, age, principal directorships, other affiliations,
Board Committee(s) on which each serves, the period of service as a director of

PROPOSALS

PROPOSAL NO. 1: APPROVAL OF THE 1995 DIRECTORS' STOCK COMPENSATION PLAN

On January 18, 1995, the Board of Directors approved the Directors' Stock
Compensation Plan (the "Directors' Plan"), subject to shareholder approval. The
purpose of the Directors' Plan is to advance the interests of the Company and
its shareholders by providing an additional means to attract and retain persons
of exceptional ability to serve as directors of the Company, by providing an
additional incentive to such persons for superior performance, and by more
closely aligning their interests with those of other shareholders.

The Board of Directors believes that the valued services of the Company's
directors are essential to the continued growth and success of the Company. An
individual's service as a director of the Company has been made more difficult
in recent years by the increased demands on a director's time and by the risks
involved in serving as a director of a public corporation. The Directors' Plan
is intended not only to address these concerns, but also to provide an
additional incentive to the directors to perform in a superior manner and to
more closely align the interests of such persons with those of the other
shareholders.

In light of these considerations, and after comparing the Company's
director compensation and benefit policies with those of other comparable
corporations, the Board of Directors approved the Directors' Plan providing for
the award of 200 shares of Company Common Stock annually to each director of the
Company. Such an award will be in addition to payment of the directors' regular
annual retainer and meeting fees and expenses for attendance at meetings of the
Board and its committees, as discussed under Additional Director Information on
page 7.

9
14

The following is a brief summary of the material terms of the Directors'
Plan, which is set forth in Exhibit A to this Proxy Statement.

The Directors' Plan provides for the annual automatic award of 200 shares
of Company Common Stock (subject to anti-dilution adjustment in the event of
certain corporate changes) to each continuing director, who has completed at
least one year of service and who is not a full-time employee of the Company or
any of its affiliates, immediately following each annual meeting of
shareholders. The Directors' Plan will terminate after 10 years. Directors who
are full-time employees of the Company are not eligible to participate in the
Directors' Plan. Except for anti-dilution adjustments, without shareholder
approval, the number of shares to be awarded to each director each year under
the Directors' Plan may not be increased and the eligibility for awards may not
be changed. All shares awarded under the Directors' Plan are non-transferrable
for a period of 3 years following the award, except in the event of death,
disability, or retirement on or after age 65, but in no event less than six
months following the date of the award.

If the Directors' Plan is approved by the shareholders and the eight
nominees for director are elected, there will be seven directors who will each
receive awards of 200 shares of Company Common Stock in 1995, for a total award
of 1,400 shares. If the shares had been awarded to each of these directors on
January 18, 1995, the dollar value of the 200 shares of Company Common Stock for
each director in 1995 would have been $5,450 (200 shares times $27.25/share) and
the dollar value for all eligible directors in 1995 would have been $38,150
($5,450 times seven) based on the closing market price on that date. The dollar
value on the actual date of the award for each eligible director, and for all
eligible directors as a group, will depend upon the market price of the Company
Common Stock at the time. The dollar value of the 200 shares of Common Stock to
be received by individual Eligible Directors, during each of the succeeding nine
years of the Directors' Plan will vary based upon the then market price of the
Company Common Stock. The dollar value of the shares of Company Common Stock to
be received by the Eligible Directors as a group during such years will vary
based upon the number of eligible directors (the current Bylaws of the Company
limit the total number of directors to no more than 15) and the then-current
market price of the Company Common Stock.

The Directors' Stock Plan will become effective upon approval of the
affirmative votes of the holders of the majority of the Company's Common Stock
present, or represented, and entitled to vote on the approval of the Plan.
Abstentions will count towards the total vote on the proposal and as such will
have the effect of a "no" vote. Broker non-votes will not count, for or against
the proposal, or for the purposes of determining the total vote on the proposal.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR THE ADOPTION OF
PROPOSAL NO. 1.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT

The Company's executive compensation program is administered by the
Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, which is composed of three
non-employee directors. The following is a report of the Compensation Committee
to the Company's shareholders:

COMPENSATION POLICIES

In determining compensation, including the award of both annual and
long-term compensation, the Committee follows a policy of considering, among
other factors, the operating and financial performance of the Company and the
individual contribution of each officer.

Salary is the principal component of the annual portion of the compensation
of senior executives. Stock options, which were authorized for the first time in
1992 and initially granted in 1993, comprise both the long-term and a portion of
the annual components of compensation. The value of stock options is directly
dependent on the performance of the Company's stock.

1994 COMPENSATION OF THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

Mr. Casaday's annual salary was increased by 6.0% to $200,830, effective
June 5, 1994 from $189,462, his base salary since his last salary adjustment in
June, 1993. In determining his salary adjustment for 1994, the Committee took
into account a number of factors related to the Company's financial performance,
including year-to-year growth in the Company's customer base, operating revenues
and operating income, and progress in completing water treatment plants and in
getting much needed rate relief. Also considered was Mr. Casaday's leadership in
keeping the Company financially sound while meeting the costs of its water
treatment plant program and the overall performance, attitude, example, and
development of Mr. Casaday in his position with the Company. Effective September
1, 1994, upon recommendation of the Committee, the Company entered into an
employment agreement with Mr. Casaday extending the term of Mr. Casaday's
employment (from that provided under his previous agreement) for one year until
August 31, 1995.

The Committee operates on the principle that the compensation of the
Company's executive officers should be competitive with compensation of senior
executives at comparable companies. In this regard, the Committee reviewed and
considered the compensation of executives in comparable positions at other
utility companies with which the Company competes for executive talent. These
are not exactly the same companies that are included in the Edward D. Jones
indices used in the Performance Graphs in this proxy statement. The Committee
targets executive compensation to be in the general range, but not the high end,
of compensation for comparable positions at these companies.

The Committee (which also serves as the Stock Option Committee) considers
previously established annual operating and financial performance goals to help
it determine if and the extent to which stock options will be granted. The
Committee did not award any stock options during 1994.

All members of the Committee concur in this report to the Company's
shareholders.

EMPLOYEES' SAVINGS PLAN

Effective January 1, 1992, the Company established an Employees' Savings
Plan to encourage retirement savings by its employees. Full-time employees age
21 or older who have completed one year of service are eligible to participate
in the Employees' Savings Plan. Participating employees may elect to contribute
up to 15% of their qualifying annual compensation (but no more than a

12
17

statutory dollar limit -- $9,240 for 1994) on a pre-tax basis, pursuant to
Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. These employee
401(k) contributions are invested as directed by each participant in one or more
designated funds available under the Employees' Savings Plan, including a fund
that invests in the Company's Common Stock. The Company also contributes up to
10% of the first 4% contributed by the employees, which contribution is
automatically invested in the Company's Common Stock. Participants are 100%
vested in their 401(k) contributions and become 100% vested in any matching
contribution over a five-year period commencing with the employee's date of
hire.

EMPLOYEES' RETIREMENT PLAN

The following table illustrates the estimated annual retirement benefits
payable at age 65 under the Company's Employees' Retirement Plan as a straight
life annuity to an employee retiring with the specified combination of final
average earnings and years of service with the Company with the modifications
discussed below, applicable to Mr. Casaday, for average annual earnings greater
than $150,000. The benefits shown are not subject to deduction for social
security.

---------------

* Recent amendments to the Internal Revenue Code limit the amount of
compensation which may be taken into account under a tax-qualified retirement
plan. The benefits shown above, for average earnings above $150,000, include
benefits payable pursuant to Mr. Casaday's supplemental retirement agreement
which guarantees to Mr. Casaday the difference between the benefits he would
be entitled to under the Company's Employees' Retirement Plan, if such
benefits were calculated without regard to restrictions imposed under the
Internal Revenue Code, and the amount of pension benefit actually payable
under the Company's Employees' Retirement Plan.

Additionally, pursuant to the terms of Mr. Casaday's supplemental
retirement agreement, the Company has agreed to pay the difference, if any,
between his pension benefits payable under the Retirement Plan, based on the
total of his approximately 15 years of prior service and his current service
with the Company and a pension benefit based on 20 years of credited service.

Covered compensation under the Retirement Plan is the same as the amount
reported in the Salary column of the Summary Compensation Table. As of December
31, 1994, Mr. Casaday had completed 18 years of credited service and Mr. Kell,
16 years.

CHANGE IN CONTROL AND OTHER AGREEMENTS

The Company has agreements with certain of its officers, including the
persons listed in the Summary Compensation Table, which entitle the officers to
receive a severance payment equal to two times their annual salary if, following
a change in control (as defined in such agreements) of the Company, their
employment is terminated or their compensation, position or benefits are
reduced.

Mr. Casaday has an employment agreement with the Company providing for a
one year employment term, ending August 31, 1995, and certain supplemental
retirement benefits. The retirement benefits are set forth in a supplemental
retirement agreement, the major provisions of which are described in the
previous section.

FIVE-YEAR CUMULATIVE RETURN

The graph below compares the cumulative total return on the Company's stock
during the past five years with the average cumulative total return during the
same period of the S & P 500 Stock Index and a gas/water utility performance
index developed from the Edward D. Jones Indices for Natural Gas Distribution
Companies and the Water Utility Industry, excluding the Company. The gas/water
utility index used in the graph is an average of the two Edward D. Jones Indices
where the two indices are weighted by the Company's average identifiable assets
for its gas business and its water business during the period covered by the
graph. The graph reflects the investment of $100 on December 31, 1989, in the
Company's Common Stock, the S & P 500 Stock Index and the gas/water utility
index. Dividends are assumed to be reinvested as paid in the Company's Common
Stock and in the S & P 500 Stock Index and quarterly in the stocks of the
gas/water utility index.

EXHIBIT A

PENNSYLVANIA ENTERPRISES, INC.

1995 DIRECTORS' STOCK COMPENSATION PLAN

1. PURPOSE

The purpose of the Pennsylvania Enterprises, Inc. Stock Compensation Plan
for Directors (the "Plan") is to advance the interests of Pennsylvania
Enterprises, Inc. and its shareholders by providing an additional means to
attract and retain persons of exceptional ability to serve as Directors, by
providing an additional incentive to such persons for superior performance, and
more closely aligning their interests with those of other shareholders. This
Plan shall be interpreted and implemented in a manner so that Directors will not
fail, by reason of this Plan or their participation in it, to be "disinterested
persons" within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act, and so that
awards of shares of Common Stock to Directors who are not full-time employees of
the Company will be exempt under that Rule, as such Rule and the Exchange Act
may from time to time be amended.

2. DEFINITIONS

Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the following terms when
used in this Plan shall have the meanings set forth in this section:

a. "Board of Directors" shall mean the Board of Directors of the Company.

b. "Company" shall mean Pennsylvania Enterprises, Inc., a Pennsylvania
corporation, or its successor.

c. "Exchange Act" shall mean the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended.

d. "Eligible Director" shall mean any member of the Board of Directors who
is not also a full-time employee of the Company or of any of its
affiliates.

e. "Common Stock" shall mean shares of common stock of the Company, no par
value, stated value $10 per share.

Common Stock awarded pursuant to the Plan may be shares of the
Corporation's authorized but unissued Common Stock or may be shares of Common
Stock reacquired by the Company and held in treasury.

4. ELIGIBILITY

Only Directors who are not full-time employees of the Company or any of its
affiliates shall be eligible to receive awards of shares of Common Stock under
this Plan.

A-1
24

5. AWARDS OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK

Each year commencing in 1995, at the organizational meeting of the Board of
Directors held immediately following the annual meeting of shareholders, 200
shares of Common Stock shall automatically be awarded to each person who is a
continuing Eligible Director and has completed at least one year of service, for
his or her services as a director, being in addition to any retainer, attendance
or other fees or expenses. As soon as practicable thereafter, the Company shall
deliver stock certificates representing such awards.

6. ADJUSTMENTS

In the event of any reorganization, recapitalization, stock split, stock
dividend, combination of shares, merger, consolidation, issuance of rights or
any other change in the capital structure of the Company, the number and kind of
shares of Common Stock or other securities or property to be awarded hereunder
shall be equitably adjusted to reflect the occurrence of such event; provided,
however, that no adjustment shall be made except as shall be necessary to
preserve, rather than enlarge, the value of future awards under the Plan.

7. GENERAL PROVISIONS

a. No Eligible Director or other person claiming under or through an
Eligible Director shall have any right, title or interest by reason of
the Plan to any particular assets of the Company. The Company shall not
be required to establish any fund or make any other segregation of
assets to assure the award of shares of Common Stock hereunder.

b. All shares awarded under the Plan are non-forfeitable but are
non-transferrable for a period of three (3) years following the
applicable award date, except that shares shall become immediately
transferable in the case of death, disability, or retirement from the
Board on or after age 65, but in no event in less than six months
following the date of the award.

c. No right under this Plan shall be transferable or otherwise subject to
anticipation, sale, assignment, pledge, encumbrance or charge.

d. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, the Company shall not
be required to award or deliver any certificate for shares of Common
Stock under this Plan prior to fulfillment of all of the following
conditions:

1. Any required listing or approval or notice of issuance of such
shares on any securities exchange on which the Common Stock may
then be traded;

2. Any registration or other qualification of such shares under any
state or federal law or regulation or other qualification which the
Board of Directors shall upon the advice of counsel deem necessary
or advisable; or

3. The obtaining of any other required consent or approval or permit
from any state or federal government agency.

A-2
25

e. In no event shall the Company be required to issue a fractional share
hereunder.

f. The issuance of shares of Common Stock under the Plan shall be subject
to any applicable taxes or other laws or regulations of the United
States of America and any state or local authority having jurisdiction
thereover.

g. If any provision of the Plan would cause an Eligible Director not to be
a "disinterested person" within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 under the
Exchange Act as then applicable to any employee benefit plan of the
Company, or if such provision does not comply with the requirements of
Rule 16b-3 as then applicable to an award of shares hereunder, such
provision shall be construed or deemed amended to the extent necessary
to preserve such an Eligible Director's status as a "disinterested
person" or to conform to such requirements.

8. EFFECTIVE DATE; TERMINATION AND AMENDMENT

a. The Plan shall be effective as of January 18, 1995, the date of its
approval by the Board of Directors; provided, however, that awards shall
not be made under the Plan prior to its approval by the affirmative
votes of the holders of the majority of the Company's Common Stock
present, or represented, and entitled to vote on the Plan, at a duly
constituted meeting of the shareholders of the Company.

b. The Plan shall terminate on January 18, 2005. The Board of Directors may
also terminate the Plan or make such modifications or amendments to the
Plan as it may deem advisable; provided, however, that the Board of
Directors may not amend the Plan without shareholder approval by the
affirmative votes of the holders of the majority of the Company's Common
Stock present, or represented, and entitled to vote on the Plan, at a
duly constituted meeting of the shareholders of the Company for any of
the following purposes:

(i) increase the number of shares of Common Stock which may be awarded
annually to each Eligible Director under the Plan;

(ii) extend the term of the Plan;

(iii) modify the requirements as to eligibility to receive awards of
shares of Common Stock under the Plan;

shareholders of the Company is required pursuant to Rule 16b-3 under the
Exchange Act, or any law, rule or stock exchange requirement applicable
thereto without obtaining such shareholder approval; or

(v) make any amendment to the Plan that would cause Eligible Directors
to lose their status as "disinterested persons" within the meaning of Rule
16b-3 under the Exchange Act.

Dear 401(k) Plan Participant:

Because you are the owner of the shares of common stock of PEI held in
your 401(k) account, you are entitled to vote those shares by proxy at the
Annual Meeting of Shareholders. Therefore, enclosed is your shareholder's proxy
card for the shares of common stock in your 401(k) account. Since you are an
owner of other shares of PEI stock, a Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders,
a Proxy Statement, which contains a description of the matters to be brought
before the meeting, and the 1994 PEI Annual Report were already sent to you. I
WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR SIGNING, DATING, AND RETURNING YOUR PROXY CARD AS SOON AS
POSSIBLE BY MAILING IT IN THE ENCLOSED ENVELOPE, to PNC Bank, Trustee,
Investment Management and Trust Services Department, P. O. Box 937, Scranton,
