Item 5. Other Events


         On October 23, 1995, the Company issued the  following news release and
attached financial ststements:

                             OG&E Announces Earnings
                             -----------------------

         Oklahoma Gas and Electric  Company  reported  today that  earnings were
$3.05 per common share for the twelve  months ended  September 30, 1995 compared
to $2.80 per common  share for the same  period in 1994.  For the  twelve  month
period ending  September  30,  continued  customer  growth,  improved  operating
efficiencies  and lower  interest costs were the primary reasons  for the higher
earnings.  Enogex  reported that earnings for the twelve month period were up 37
percent to $12.7 million due to improved  operating  efficiencies  and increased
margins in gas sales.
         Earnings for the third quarter were $2.39 per common share  compared to
$2.12 in 1994. Third quarter results  benefitted from a return to normal weather
in the company's  service territory and continued  customer growth.  Enogex also
reported improved results due to their restructuring efforts.
         The  combination  of a return to more normal  weather and service  area
growth  contributed  to record  demands for electric  power.  Though an all time
record  for  electricity  demand  was set on July 12,  OG&E was able to meet the
demand with power to spare.  August  electrical demand also exceeded levels from
previous  years.  This was the  second  consecutive  year that a new  record for
electricity demand was posted.
        "As  our  service  area  grows  and   people's  lives are  increasingly 
more dependent  on  electricity,  the demand on OG&E is greater than ever," said
OG&E Chairman  and Chief  Executive  Officer  James G.  Harlow Jr. "We  welcome 
that challenge because we are very well positioned to meet  that demand now and 
in the future."
