ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS
---------------------

         Eagle  Financial  Corporation  ("Eagle")  and MidConn Bank  ("MidConn")
announced today the signing of a definitive merger agreement among MidConn Bank,
Eagle Financial Corporation and Eagle Federal Savings Bank (the "Agreement"). As
a result of the  Agreement,  Eagle,  holding  company for Eagle Federal  Savings
Bank,  would acquire  MidConn in a tax-free  stock for stock  exchange and merge
MidConn  into Eagle  Federal  Savings  Bank.  Under the terms of the  Agreement,
MidConn  shareholders  will  receive  0.86 shares of Eagle common stock for each
share of MidConn common stock they own. Under certain circumstances, MidConn has
the right to  terminate  the  Agreement if the price of Eagle common stock falls
below $24.00 unless Eagle agrees to adjust the exchange  ratio.  The transaction
is  anticipated  to be completed in May 1997 and will be accounted for using the
pooling-of-interests method of accounting.

         In connection with the Agreement,  MidConn has granted Eagle an option,
exercisable under certain conditions, to purchase newly issued shares of MidConn
common stock equal to 19.9% of the total common stock outstanding of MidConn.

         Completion  of the merger is subject to  approval  by federal and state
bank regulatory  authorities and the shareholders of Eagle and MidConn,  as well
as other customary conditions.

         The Agreement (including exhibits thereto) and the Option Agreement are
attached  hereto  as  Exhibit  2.1  and  Exhibit  2.2,  respectively,   and  are
incorporated by reference herein.
