                 Amendment No. 5 to Schedule 13D

     This statement amends the Schedule 13D, dated September 26,
1994, as amended by Amendment No. 1 dated October 31, 1994,
Amendment No. 2 dated January 6, 1995, Amendment No. 3 dated
April 4, 1995 and Amendment No. 4 dated June 9, 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. 5, 
the Schedule 13D speaks as of its date.  Capitalized terms used
without definition have the meanings ascribed to them in the
Schedule 13D.

I.        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
988,581 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately
8.2% of the shares of Common Stock.  Dickstein & Co.
beneficially owns 777,095 of such shares of Common Stock
(approximately 6.4% of the shares outstanding); Dickstein Focus
beneficially owns 83,473 of such shares of Common Stock
(approximately .7% of the shares outstanding); and Dickstein
International beneficially owns 128,013 of such shares of Common
Stock (approximately 1.1% 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/

     "(c)  On November 13, 1995, Dickstein & Co., Dickstein
International and Dickstein Focus sold 250,000, 300,000
and 50,000 shares of Common Stock, respectively, to the Company, at 
a price per share of $23.528, in a privately negotiated 
transaction.  Except as set in the previous sentence, none 
of the persons identified in Item 2 has effected any 
transactions in the Common Stock during the past 60 days."

1/       Percentages are based upon 12,073,101 shares of Common
         Stock outstanding as of November 3, 1995 as set forth in the
         Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10Q for the quarter 
         ended September 30, 1995.

II.      Item 6 of the Schedule 13D, "Contracts, Arrangements, 
Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities

Dickstein International and Dickstein Focus entered into an
agreement with respect to the sale of certain shares of 
Common Stock to the Company.  See Item 5(c).  A copy of the

          and authority to execute and deliver this
          Agreement and to consummate the transactions
          contemplated hereby.  This Agreement has been
          duly authorized and validly executed and
          delivered and constitutes each party's legal,
          valid and binding obligation, enforceable in
          accordance with its terms.

               (iii)   Each of us is the lawful
          beneficial owner of the Shares set forth
          opposite our respective signatures, and will
          transfer to you good and marketable title to
          such Shares, fee and clear of (i) any and
