Item 5.  Other Events
         ------------


     Following the close of business on August 18, 1995, United Bankshares, Inc.
("United") and Eagle Bancorp, Inc. ("Eagle") entered into an Agreement and Plan
of Merger (the "Agreement") which sets forth the terms and conditions under
which Eagle would merge with and into United (the "Merger").

     The Agreement provides that upon consummation of the Merger, each
outstanding share of common stock of Eagle (other than any shares held by United
other than in a fiduciary capacity or in satisfaction of a debt previously
contracted) shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of
the holder thereof, be converted into the right to receive 1.15 shares of United
common stock, plus the right to receive cash in lieu of any fractional share
without interest.

     In connection with the execution of the Agreement, United National Bank
("UNB"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of United, and First Empire Federal Savings
and Loan Association ("First Empire"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Eagle,
entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of August 18, 1995, (the
"Bank Agreement"). The Bank Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions,
including the Merger, pursuant to which First Empire would merge with and into
UNB substantially concurrently with the Merger (the "Bank Merger").

     Consummation of the Merger is subject to approval of the shareholders of
United and Eagle and the receipt of all required regulatory approvals, as well
as other customary conditions.

     Pursuant to the Agreement and related Stockholder Agreements, the holders
of approximately 23% and 28% of the outstanding United common stock and Eagle
common stock, respectively, have agreed to vote their shares in favor of the
Merger.

     The Agreement permits Eagle to continue to pay its regular quarterly
dividends of $0.14 per share of Eagle common stock prior to the consummation of
the Merger, but otherwise prohibits the payment of dividends on Eagle common
stock.  Pursuant to the Agreement, Eagle will adjust the record and payment
dates of its regular quarterly dividends to coincide with the record and payment
dates for United's regular quarterly dividends.  The record dates for United's
regular quarterly dividends occur in mid-September, mid-December, mid-March and
mid-June, and the respective payment dates occur in the first few days of the
succeeding month.

     The Agreement contains a provision that Eagle must pay United $1,500,000 in
the event that certain events occur prior to a termination of the Agreement in
accordance with its terms.
