                 Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13D

     This statement amends the Schedule 13D, dated September 26,
1994, as amended by Amendment No. 1 dated October 31, 1994 and
Amendment No. 2 dated January 6, 1995 (the "Schedule 13D"), filed
by Dickstein & Co., L.P. ("Dickstein & Co."), Dickstein Focus
Fund L.P. ("Dickstein Focus"), Dickstein International Limited
("Dickstein International"), Dickstein Partners, L.P. ("Dickstein
Partners"), Dickstein Partners Inc. ("Dickstein Inc.") and Mark
Dickstein with respect to the Common Stock, $1.00 par value (the
"Common Stock"), of Lone Star Industries, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Company").  Notwithstanding this Amendment No.
3, the Schedule 13D speaks as of its date.  Capitalized terms
used without definition have the meanings ascribed to them in the
Schedule 13D.

     I.  Item 3 of the Schedule 13D, "Source and Amount of Funds
or Other Consideration," is amended by adding the following
paragraph:

     "Since January 6, 1995 (the date the Reporting Persons filed
Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D), the Reporting Persons in the
aggregate have acquired an additional 161,494 shares of Common
Stock in the open market.  Dickstein & Co. acquired 105,102
shares at a total cost of $2,068,010; Dickstein International
acquired 31,792 shares at a total cost of $612,458; and Dickstein
Focus acquired 24,200 shares at a total cost of $465,779.  Such
amounts were funded out of each entity's working capital, which
may include margin loans made by brokerage firms in the ordinary
course of business."

     II.  Items 5(a) and 5(c) of the Schedule 13D, "Interest in
Securities of the Issuer" are amended and restated as follows:

     "(a)  The Reporting Persons beneficially own an aggregate of
1,395,431 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately
11.6% of the shares of Common Stock.  Dickstein & Co.
beneficially owns 898,429 of such shares of Common Stock
(approximately 7.4% of the shares outstanding); Dickstein Focus
beneficially owns 108,108 of such shares of Common Stock
(approximately .9% of the shares outstanding); and Dickstein
International beneficially owns 388,894 of such shares of Common
Stock (approximately 3.2% of the shares outstanding).  Upon
resolution of all of the Company's pre-petition claims, the
Reporting Persons may be entitled to receive additional shares of
Common Stock pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization.1/"

1/       Percentages are based upon 12,070,301 shares of Common
         Stock outstanding as reported to the Reporting Persons
         on March 31, 1995.

                                -8-

     "(c)  Except as set forth on Schedule II annexed hereto,
none of the persons identified in Item 2 has effected any
transactions in the Common Stock during the past 60 days."
